Any fellow PhD Mathematics students

I'm doing a MS in physics and applying to phd in mathematics programs. I did a similar project in Markov chain models for traffic networks as an undergrad. Interesting stuff.

I'm doing a pretty mathsy PhD looking at all sorts of different transforms, like Gabor/Fourier/Curvelets etc. in conjunction with some statistical techniques and machine learning with a view to writing software so that a machine can recognise complex patterns in an image. I'm only a couple of months in, though.

I'm also in the same boat getting used to Matlab and all of the toolboxes! Great fun.

excellent

How about you ? Also a fellow mathematician in the making

good thank you.

I am a mathematician in his "sunset"

Finally someone else who's doing a maths phD lol I thought I was the only one on here.
Sounds well interesting. Where are you conducting the research ?

I remember Fourier analysis days from my UG days lol. Matlab and SPSS have literally been running all day since I started.

Ah. What were your research interests during your 'sunrise'

I'm part-funded by a company who've provided some data. I work in Bristol Robotics Laboratory. You? I actually went for a joint doctoral program with Reading/Imperial but decided to stay in Bristol as I've just had a daughter, so pulled out of the interview.

I've used a fair amount of SPSS before, but am new to Matlab. Easy to pick up, though.



I'd love to see your thesis - I'm really interested in boundary layer theory, I just didn't have the time to look into it further.

I do not know about your project but mine (incidentally I hardly follow any of this now) I remember I thought at the time that it is nothing but a "glorified" piece of coursework.

fluids

after 27 years teaching at A Level I could not even quote the Navier Stokes Equations

I'm studying fluids in my gap year (and applying for grad school to study it) and let's say that I'm only getting to grips with remembering the equations

I see you come from Kings (some former private students of mine went on to study Maths at Kings in 2010 and in 2012)
I wish you luck in your postgrad
(UCL I hear is still very big in fluids)

Yep Whilst King's don't have a fluids department, I did a research project on fluids and soliton theory a couple of summers ago. Whilst I did have my own days when I didn't get any results, I really enjoyed it overall

Thanks Applying to UCL for a masters (only have a BSc) however there are quite a few CDTs that I can apply to directly as I have a first

How's the covering of your undergrad (I think you mentioned it a while back )

Kings alumni . Good luck on your masters application

UCL has not changed much since my days, as it offers the most flexible maths degree in my opinion (from the second year, second term onwards EVERYTHING is options)
This was bliss for me because I did not enjoy Pure at all.
(I did fluids, geophysical fluids, real fluids, Gas dynamics and Boundary layers (undergrad) together with electromagnetism, analytical dynamics, waves, relativity, cosmology, biomechanics and 5 courses from their physics department)
