Which math modules to specialize in as a mathematics undergraduate if I want to study theoretical physics at masters?

Physics Asked by Fnechz on July 27, 2021

I am currently studying Mathematics as third year student, which is the last year in our french based system in Algeria. But I would like to pursue a masters degree in theoretical physics. The main courses I have completed so far are linear algebra, measure theory, introduction to topology, real analysis and complex analysis(introduction), geometry, prob and stats, optimization without constrains and equations used in mathematical physics.

As part of the last semester my university allows us to chose specialities (I think it’s not a good idea to chose them early enough) which are divided into four with the respective modules taught in brackets; Abstract algebra (Field theory and Group theory), Analysis ( Introduction to the theory of linear operators and Partial differential equations), Probability and Stats ( Inferential statistics and Introduction to random processes) and finally Operational research (Optimization with constrains and linear programming).

I think the choice of specializing remains on Analysis and Abstract algebra which are more used in theoretical physics other than the rest, but between the two I do not know which one will give me a better advantage.
