<p>Applied and pure math are both made of many branches.
Not all applied math is statistics. If you like calculus you may like optimization. Applied math is modeling through math, essentially, statistics is very useful but there is other applied math than that. However, many of it does utilize computers so I am sorry to say but if you want to go into an applied math route you ought to be more savy with computers than the average Joe.
Pure math is beautiful and has fruitful branches but I don’t see you using anything you use in pure math disciplines in your career route. Obviously you’ll be able to utilize the fundamental theorems that you learn every day but unless your doing research I can’t think of benefit you’ll get out of pure math besides pure enjoyment. I love pure math.
If you’re an applied math major you will get some theory classes,don’t worry. Its just the end product will be different and more useful. Also more computery</p>
