<p>I wonder how many people major in Applied Math (not Pure Math)? Because my AP Calc teacher always tells me there are not enough Mathematicians in general and especially Applied Mathematicians in the US. What do you think?
P.S.: facebook.com While 380 students at UC Davis had/have degree in Math, only 3 (!!!) including me will have degree in Applied Math</p>
<p>well im going to harvard this fall, and i believe you can do a joint major in Economics and Applied Mathematics. So I'm considering doing that, but I'll see how it goes and how hard it is.</p>
<p>Your teacher doesn't realize the difference between one's education and one's eventual profession. </p>
<p>I'm a pure mathematics major, but fully intend to do some type of Econ/Applied Mathematics either in grad school or in my job. </p>
<p>I simply feel a classic study of mathematics will help me more than the mathematics applicable to some types of real-world problems. I've been told by some of the applied math majors at my school that I'm wrong (some of who are looking at very good jobs after graduation), and this could well be the case. </p>
<p>At any rate, UC Davis has some great math professors, so you're in a good situation.</p>

Cool, thanks for answer. I'll be double majoring in Applied Math and Economics (I looked at units, it's not that hard)</p>
