 List of Thesis Topics
Topics for a thesis would include the history of the problem, including the mistakes made in early "proofs", extension of the problem to more complicated surfaces (what for instance happens if the maps are drawn on the surface of an inner tube?), and an explication of the final correct proof.
The proof itself marks a milestone in mathematics in that it is readily understandable, but impossible to check because it involves computer verification of an enormous number of special cases.

 Careers in Mathematics
Mathematics is among the most fascinating of all intellectual disciplines, the purest of all art forms, and the most challenging of games.
Mathematics is often done in conjunction with another field: biology, physics, economics, or a host of others.
Applied mathematics draws heavily on analysis, differential equations, and linear algebra to solve problems in statics (making sure the beams are strong enough to hold up the bridge), mechanics (describing how a pendulum moves), electricity and magnetism (calculating the magnetic field induced by an electric current), and many other areas.

 Physics 219 Course Information
Certainly it would be useful to have had a previous course on quantum mechanics, though this may not be essential.
It would also be useful to know something about (classical) information theory, (classical) coding theory, and (classical) complexity theory, since a central goal of the course will be generalize these topics to apply to quantum information.
Therefore, since the physical world is fundamentally quantum mechanical, the foundations of information theory and computer science should be sought in quantum physics.

In this text, the author constructs the mathematical apparatus of classical mechanics from the beginning, examining all the basic problems in dynamics, including the theory of oscillations, the theory of rigid body motion, and the Hamiltonian formalism.
Also, the order of the topics is linear and very effective from a didactic point of view.
Furthermore, the electromagnetism and relativity are not even cited, although they can be viewed as the logical completion of classical mechanics (see, for example, Goldstein).

In this chapter we write down the basic experimental facts which lie at the foundation of mechanics: Galileo's principle of relativity and Newton's differential equation.
In contrast, foundations of mechanics (hereafter FOM) is far superior in that it provides all the necessary background beyond calculus and linear algebra to the reader, and is logically consistent so far in my reading.
In particular, it is my humble opinion that once you get to a certain point of knowledgeability of a subject like algebraic topology, you have enough of a taste for it that to learn more of the subject would only help if you were to go into research.

 A MODERN APPROACH TO CLASSICAL MECHANICS
The approach to classical mechanics adopted in this book includes and stresses recent developments in nonlinear dynamical systems.
Besides the conventional topics (such as oscillators, the Kepler problem, spinning tops and the two centers problem) studied in the frame of Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian mechanics, nonintegrable systems (the Hénon—Heiles system, motion in a Coulomb force field together with a homogeneous magnetic field, the restricted three-body problem) are also discussed.
