Topic talk:Applied mathematics

Pure vs. applied mathematics
I was bold and moved this to applied mathematics. I think we should create a pure math too. --HappyCamper 02:15, 20 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't think we should have two separate maths such that you are suggesting (pure/applied). With this you would then need more to cover actuarial, financial (if no where else), combinatorics & optimization, statistics. This would put too many departments under the physical sciences faculty (faculty?) Perhaps have math move into it's own faculty, so that it can have 5 departments, act, c&o, amath, pmath, stats. --Tastymangojuice 16:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Why not make a math faculty then? Those topics need to be covered anyway I think. Actually, I was thinking of making something for an beginners applied calculus course. That way, at least we have something here to start with. --HappyCamper 20:03, 20 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Should I just create the faculty by myself? That would mean moving this department to that faculty. Or should I wait for more people to join this discussion? Beginners applied calculus would be apart of the applied math department, which would be apart of the math faculty. Do you intend to have this course deal with university level calculus or high school level? (or pre-calculus - i.e. Limits) --Tastymangojuice 00:20, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

No more need for this discussion.
