There is a common misconception that Applied Maths is a harder and more advanced version of regular Maths. This is not the case. Applied maths, or “mathematical physics” as it is sometimes known, is all about applying mathematics to physics problems. Applied Maths is about problem solving and appeals to people who enjoy applying their knowledge to specific tasks.
Anyone taking the course does need to have a strong grasp of maths and would need to be studying Higher Level Mathematics. It is how the mathematical knowledge is used that makes applied maths different. As well as having a very good mathematical ability, you will also need to be good at solving logic problems. Spotting clues in a question and working out how to use the clue to solve the problem. The maths only comes in, once you have worked out what logical approach you will need to take. If you enjoy maths and have a good logical brain, then this is the subject for you!
