Did your 7 semesters of calculus include any courses that a math major would take?

For example, a single upper-division undergrad level course on probability will expose you to measure theory.

Similarly, harmonic analysis is something that you can take as a reasonably good senior in mathematics.

I think most undergrad level course on probability expose you to measure theory _without_ telling you they are measure theory.

I took multivariate calculus (I to III), differential equations, statistics, discrete math, and linear algebra.

I didn't take those courses you're talking about, but that's my point. I have a top <1% education in math in the nation, maybe top 2-3% of all college grads, and that's not enough to even scratch the surface of the summary.
