Pure Math vs Mathematical Sciences
Posted: Tue Aug 01, 2017 7:43 pm
Hi
I will like to know the difference/ differences between pure math and mathematical sciences at doctoral level in terms of the rigour and depth of math doctoral students are exposed to. Will a student who wants to learn all of pure math he can ever learn (like algebraic geometry, number theory, differential geometry etc) and contribute to the field (of pure math) that interests him through original research still achieve those goals by doing a phd in mathematical sciences?
