| Feb 22, 2010 at 18:55 | comment | added | aorq | @Igor Belegradek: At some universities, students in applied math have to pass exams in applied math, not pure math. (I speak for a top-10 program in applied math.) | |
| Feb 22, 2010 at 16:31 | comment | added | Igor Belegradek | My comments apply to research 2 universities as well, and I see no difference in how applied math applicants are treated on admission. Everyone still has to pass the comps in algebra and analysis, no matter how applied you are. | |
