<p>This is probably a stupid question but im curious. If you complete an undergrad engineering major can you go straight for a masters in applied mathematics or would you have to take more courses first?</p>
<p>It would likely depend on whether you took courses like the following junior level math courses and how well you did in them:</p>
<p>real analysis
complex analysis
abstract algebra
linear algebra (math major junior level, beyond the usual sophomore level course)
other courses like numerical analysis, logic, geometry, etc…</p>
<p>A guy I met majored in engineering and is now getting his PHD in math. So, sure. </p>
<p>I doubt as much math in undergrad as UCB proposed would be required actually is. </p>
<p>This is what UMich lists as their requirements (not strict) for admission to their AIM program:</p>
<pre><code>-three semesters of calculus
-one or two semesters of differential equations
-one semester courses in modern algebra, linear algebra, geometry or topology
-advanced calculus (they mean analysis) of one and several variables
</code></pre>
<p>Beyond what you take for engineering you’re looking at maybe 2 analysis classes, and maybe modern algebra or topology too. Not too much. And again, those aren’t strict.</p>
<p>so you would only have to take an additional 3 math courses and then you can do it? how long would it take then to get a masters in applied math in that situation</p>
<p>This topic also interests me.</p>
<p>I know that if you were pursuing graduate studies in finance (an MSc- PhD track)- a really applied math field- you could move from engineering into many schools. But it depends where you did your eng degree and also the school offering the graduate degree. Also for those with specific prereqs. you may be missing, sometimes you can make them up after joining the program. There is generally just more flexibility at the graduate level.</p>
