This question is a variation of my earlier questions.

Okay so in the US, I guess one does not need a master's in math before pursuing a PhD in math since the US apparently usually assumes only a bachelor's.

What about in Europe? Technically, my master's is in mathematical finance not mathematics. So I didn't have research experience in looking through (pure) math books or articles in order to try to prove something theoretical or anything like that except for a few problem sets.

On an answer to one of my previous questions, user deviantfan commented that:

"In many european countries, it´s not even allowed/possible to skip the master degree."

Perhaps my question may be rephrased:


  Is the master's in X PhD requirement in Europe satisfied by a
  master's in Applied X rather than Pure X?



Question: Differences between PS3 and Wii version of Rock Band The Beatles
Answer: The only difference is with DLC. If you wish to download the remainder of Rubber Soul, Sgt Pepper or Abbey Road, you must pay for the tracks individually on the Wii rather than a group bundle.
