I’m in my final semester as an undergrad math major. I’m trying to decide between going to grad school for applied statistics or pure math.

I have a problem though. Like anyone else applying for grad school, I want to qualify for a fellowship or stipend. However, because of my schedule and the limited math majors at my school, I didn’t get to take topology, differential equations, and group theory. I have a 3.67 g.p.a and have gotten better than an A- in all my math courses.

I going to take the GRE to reinforce my qualifications. Any suggestions on how to teach myself topology, differential equations and group theory in 3 weeks? I need to get a high score on the GRE to compete against others for a fellowship/stipend.

Also, any ideas on good schools for applied statistics or pure math? (maybe schools that don’t worry as much about a GRE score and give more weight to G.P.A?)

Any answers would be appreciated.

On the physics gre ets guide, they list a series of mathematics areas i have to be very familiar with:

boundary value problems
differential equations
vector algebra
complex analysis

i really don’t want to spend my time re-reading entire math text books when i’m studying for the physics gre. So can someone tell me what aspects of these subjects i need to know?

if you have any other advice, feel free to relay it as well..i could use all the help i can get!

thanks
