Any math majors here?

It seems like law is overrepresented here.

I'm looking forward to being the best dressed man in graduate school for my class

. Well... I'm not there yet but another few months on this forum and its guaranteed.

I met this girl surfing the other day.. she was a math major.. so hot.

I am a Statistics & Probability major which is essentially a math major... Only going into my second year and a first year in this new major. I am hoping to do something in finance or sciences.. how about you?

I had a math major in the room next to me when i was in residence. If both of our doors were open, I could smell him. It's not hard to stand out in that crowd.

I had a calculus TA with a smoking hot body once (face was only decent). That sort of thing is pretty rare in math departments though. It's probably for the better because all you math nerds would stop getting As if there were more hot chicks in your program.

You lack nerd cred compared to the pure math guys, but stats ppl probably get more poon (but not much

).

My undergrad was a dual major with 1 of them in math. Now, I'm in law school, so take that!

I was a science guy in undergrad, which involved taking tons of math. Lots of calc/DE (hated it), lin alg (ok), numerical analysis (pretty interesting), and prob/stats (downright fun).

The best part was that there was a very big "math education" major at my university. Lots of really hot girls studying math to be high school math teachers. . . the very type we all hoped would molest us when we were teen boys.

Anyway, what were we talking about?

I'm doing a double major in pure and applied math. I'm not so sure about the applied part, I have this undying love for pure math but want an actual useful major. I might do statistics, but I found statistics to be really boring when I took it (all those random statistical tests you had to learn where they just told you it worked, no proofs whatsoever). Eventually I wanna learn probability as its developed from measure theory. CS at my school takes wayy too many credits. Thinking of this major called combinatorics and optimization but graph theory and ennumeration are way to hard to take in addition to pure math courses. Ah decisions...

Haha theres some smoking hot profs at my school... too bad in a room full of us nerds they feel untouchable.

I did an applied maths major. Loved it to bits, but haven't really used it since. Unfortunately all the hot girls at my uni did either arts or chem eng

edit.. or commerce for that matter

Well I appreciate that. My stats prof does spend the break times playing magic cards with students, though.

Pure math is just cool to do. Stats isn't really boring at the upper level (or so I have heard). Econometrics is pretty fun too.

Stats for me, didn't really seem cool until I had taken both an applied stats class, and a probability theory class. Once I actually started understanding how and why it worked when I was applying it, it kind of was like flipping a switch. It became really interesting then.

Pure math often bored me as I didn't see applications. That is why numerical analysis was interesting. . . it was clear what the applications were.

And of course, if you do an MBA or something like that, you can sleep while all the people that think they are quants struggle to learn the stuff, and you can still destroy the grading curve and be hated by your class.

Minor in math ( but with a major in physics that was a no-brainer). Really liked topology in general and specif. knot theory. Wound up going to law school......

th0rbahn · Jul 20, 2009

physics major

smath · Jul 31, 2009

I was! Finishing up dual masters' in Stats and Maths now. Math (read: algebra) is so much more fun.

gnatty8 · Jul 31, 2009

Have undergraduate degrees in Economics as well as Mathematics. Graduate degrees in Finance, which is sort of math-lite, and an MBA, which is sort of like math for arts majors..
