> In that case do not do a Ph.d in math at all. Do it within an engineering department instead, much more funding and you get paid accordingly. The math I listed can be one heck of an advantage in doing research in engineering and other fields. First, get to apply math known poorly or not at all in the other fields. Second, get to do some research in math that in a math department does not look significant but still is regarded as significant for what it does for the problem selected from the other field.
