Topic: Applied vs. Pure Mathematics major ... If you plan on researching and taking it to a higher level, then it'd be good to go pure. Applied mathematics is probably more for the person who wants to develop the ability to problem solve, but not for someone who wants to lets say, get a PhD in mathematics.

She has a strong case: it is impossible to go on to do significant work and research in applied mathematics, computer science, probability or physics, without mastering a fair amount of pure mathematics.

It has been described as "that part of mathematical activity that is done without explicit or immediate consideration of direct application," although what is "pure" in one era often becomes applied later. Finance and cryptography are current examples of areas to which pure mathematics is applied in significant ways.

As a mathematical discipline travels far from its empirical source, or still more, if it is a second or third generation only indirectly inspired by ideas coming from "reality", ... It becomes more and more purely aestheticizing, But there is a grave danger that the subject will develop along the line of least resistance,

The 3n+1 conjecture is an example of pure mathematics. It has no known application. There may well be an application out there waiting to be discovered but that is not the reason mathematicians pursue such problems.
