My Journey into Mathematics after Engineering

Introduction : First let me tell you something about myself. I am a 4th-year undergraduate student pursuing BE in ECE from NSIT, Delhi. I liked Mathematics from my school days. I used to solve math problems for hours in a day. During JEE preparation also, I was so focused on Math and Physics that I could not give much time to chemistry. During JEE preparation days, we learned Fermat’s last theorem and I was so astonished by the fact that it took decades to prove this simple result. For me, this Theorem was the first example to demonstrate the Beauty of Mathematics. I wanted to pursue math right after my 12th but due to societal pressure and lack of knowledge about BSc. courses, I ended up joining NSIT. At that time, I was also not aware about the pure science courses in IISER’s. First 5 semesters in college (THE PLAN) : After joining NSIT, I tried to build my interest in ECE(I wasn’t interested in coding at all which is the reason why I didn’t go for CS stream). I tried exploring di...

Which exam to prepare for? JAM, ISI, NBHM, TIFR or NET?

Disclaimer: I'm an engineer turned Physicist, so, all the information I've written is from what I found on the Internet or by speaking with people who have given those exams, to whom I'm forever indebted. Also special thanks to my 3 roomies for lending me their laptops to do this thing wherever I needed them. I'd like to start off by classifying exams into groups rather than viewing them individually, I'd strongly recommend readers to do the same, otherwise might lead to confusion-given the huge number of exams one can give.    The mathematics entrance exams can be divided into two categories broadly based on the education level of the students they're designed for, BSc level and MSc level. Do read the blog post [ How to do MSc Maths after B.Tech/B.E? ]  below to find out all the exams we can give. Here I'll be classifying and analyzing all of them to see which of them suits whom. BSc Level Exams These exams are Screening tests for BSc grads to...

My journey from engineering to PhD in math. | Soumya Ranjan Behera(IIT M, D) | MAE blog

Btech Days and the start of a mathematical journey. From my school days, I loved mathematics, getting selected in RMO/JMO, attending their math camps, solving challenging geometry problems; I liked all of it as a child. But eventually, after 12th I got into VSSUT, Burla, a govt engineering college in Odisha in the Computer Science department. As a state board student neither I was taught a subject related to computer science in school nor I was even familiar with the use of laptops or computers during the initial days of B.Tech. Again the practice in the college was to mug off and vomit. So very soon I realized computer science, mainly coding, was not my cup of tea. This resulted in poor grades and attendance shortages and backlogs. In four years of B.Tech, I had a total of 18 backlogs and in the final year during summer vacation I cleared 10 backlogs in one shot. So going back into the story in the second year my aim was to only get a job in the placement and get out of the colleg...

All the ways to do MSc/PhD Maths after B.Tech | MAE blog

 "How to study Mathematics after engineering?"  "Can I do MSc in Mathematics after BTech?" "How to do masters in Mathematics after mechanical engineering?" "Can I do a Ph.D. in Mathematics after Engineering?" "How to study Mathematics after engineering?"  To all those questions, the answer is, "Yes!! you can study Mathematics after engineering in India" "and there are plenty of ways too!!"   Hello, Math enthusiasts!!!                    Hey fellow Engineer!!! I actually am an engineer turned Physicist, After the success of my blog 'Physics after Engineering' which is for engineers switching to physics, I thought of building one such for mathematics as well. So, I have checked all the institutes that take engineers into Physics to see if they take engineers into also into mathematics. I've listed out all such I found.   I've tried my best to include as many as possible but I urg...
