Amount of Applied Maths module in a Physics module?

    As a percentage, and of course a guesstimate, how much content of a final year Applied Mathematics module would be contained in a final year Physics module?

    Assuming both modules are at the same university.

    For example, would 50% of a final year Applied Mathematics module be contained in a final year Physics module?

    Of course, it'll depend on individual modules, and individual universities. It's really just a ballpark figure I'm after.

    You'd need to be more specific, but in general there would be a lot of applied mathematics.

    I took four courses in my final year. Electromagnetism, Quantum Mechanics, Radiation and Matter research project and Mathematical methods and fluid dynamics. So 1/4 of the year was explicitly applied mathematics. But I encountered the maths in fluid dynamics in electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics to a lesser extent. However I am studying by distance learning, so I couldn't speak for a bricks and mortar university. But usually they have a list of final year modules covered in universities physics courses. Could you not check them out?
