Hello /sci/
I'm a new master's student in computer science, it's only been a month since I joined the program. My initial idea of research was on approximative algorithms and metaheuristics, and got an advisor assigned to me that specializes in that subject, as usual.
The thing is: I read some of the material he pointed out as being basic to the matter of metaheuristics and I'm surprised how statistics-based it is. Being a guy who has also studied mathematics as an undergrad I can surely say I can't stand the field of statistics, it feels really boring to me, specially because I'm more attracted to the whole "proving theorems" kind of theory, as in graph theory, for example. Now I'm having second thoughts if it really is what I want to research in the next couple years. Is approximative algorithms also heavily leaning on statistics? If it is, how should I approach my advisor to let him now that's not really what I would like to get into. Is a month in already too late to switch my research subject?
Enlighten me with your graduate knowledge, /sci/, please

It's too late for you now. You must deal with the ramifications of your actions.
