| Nov 29, 2018 at 18:25 | comment | added | Our | @BryanKrause I didn't said I was planning to work in applied math. For example, I 'm currency interested with quantum mechanics; so consider the question as if I were to pursue a career on quantum mechanical system, would this have a negative impact on my career ? | |
| Nov 29, 2018 at 18:20 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | Does your question roughly boil down to "Can I do applied math related to physics with a degree in math and a bunch of additional coursework in physics?" - that's kind of how it comes across to me. | |

You'd probably be treated the same as someone who had never declared a physics major at all, but happened to take some physics courses along with their math major. | |

Also I did add the courses I took there to my math major etc., just by looking in to my CV / transcript, anyone would figure out that I dropped my physics major. | |
