    Programs Engineering or Maths&Physics degree?

    Engineering or Maths&Physics degree?? OK so currently I am a first year student studying a Bachelor in Science in Mathematics and Physics. I am enjoying it quite a lot, i love problem solving and the satisfaction you get once you manage a question. However i am feeling doubtful about what type...

    Is a Bachelor's in Maths Worthwhile for Job Opportunities?

    Yes in fact in the first semester we have a small study unit of programming, however its only Pascal, nothing major and we didnt learn much besides the basics: like loops, procedures functions etc. I don't know about other years but I am not so sure well do much more programming. Probably you...

    Is a Bachelor's in Maths Worthwhile for Job Opportunities?

    Actually I am living and studying in Malta. Yes, yes i am aware of the fact that every job has its advantages and disadvantages, that you may find some things boring, whilst others interesting, but that's life I suppose. What worries me is if I can find a job with a BSc maths and physics...

    Is a Bachelor's in Maths Worthwhile for Job Opportunities?

    Im currently a first year student in a bachelors in Maths and in Physics and I am wondering if this course is worth it. Can i get a good, well-paid job after this course? However, I am not interested in teaching or becoming a professor. Would i be able to work in the financial sector? Or would i...

    Math Can i work in the financial sector after Bsc maths and physics?

    Just watched the trailer, very good, ill look out for it in theaters. Should give me a good idea about what I might be doing later on, unless i find Physics very appealing. In fact this winter ill be going to CERN as an educational trip, and ill see how that goes too.

    Math Can i work in the financial sector after Bsc maths and physics?

    Intereseting. So I guess what I should do at this point is just focus on what I like, and then deal with finding a job after I graduate, who knows what would happen until then. I'm sure that I won't be unemployed with a bachelors in maths and physics. If need be, next year I'll repeat first...

    Math Can i work in the financial sector after Bsc maths and physics?

    Well, I am 18 right now, and i can't imagine myself moving to a different country with no friends or family and starting afresh. Even the thought of it frightens me. Maybe when I am older, ill realize that its not such a bad thing. But until then, i'd prefer working in Malta

    Math Can i work in the financial sector after Bsc maths and physics?

    Ye but the thing is, i live in Malta and there arent many job opportunities for physicists, even more so for astrophysicists! This is why I am a bit worried about my future. I also think that if I am this sure that I'm going to work in the financial sector, that I am wasting my time studying a...

    How Long Does It Take a Train to Reach Twice Its Threshold Speed?

    Yes, i realized that i needed to use Newtons 2nd Law. What i did was split it up in two, from 0 to V and then from V to 2V. the first part i managed to find the time and distance easily using equations of motion. However for the second part i didn't know what the resultant force was. It gives...

    How Long Does It Take a Train to Reach Twice Its Threshold Speed?

    Homework Statement The resultant force acting on a train of mass m starting from rest on a level track is a constant P for speeds less than V . For speeds greater than V the power exerted by the resultant force has a constant value PV . Find the time taken to reach a speed 2V from rest, and...

    Structural engineering from engineering or architecture?

    At the moment, I am a first year at BS maths & Physics student. I chose this because i really like Maths and Physics however recently I've been thinking about where i can go with this course. There arent many job prospects, and the jobs do not rly include very high salary. So it looks like I am...
