It's hard to beat computer science. I worked an internship for a couple of years, and I found that my CS and statistics experience, acquired through classes, was instrumental in both getting the job and performing its duties. They're called REUs, research experiences for undergraduates, and...

Interstate relations are anarchic. Resources are finite; IMO, we don't have the wherewithal to correct every injustice in the world (occasionally hypocritically), and generally speaking, a better policy is to realistically recognize the governments which exist, provided that said governments...

Consider computer science.

If you've just completed the intro sequence, then the 3.8-9 doesn't mean much. Take the quantum, electrodynamics, and classical mechanics sequences and maintain your GPA.

Hello: I'm wondering if anyone here (especially any current students) has heard anything about the University of Kentucky math department, particularly about the environment (supportive/nonsupportive, etc).

I'm usually cursing at the linker by that point.

We can't foresee everything. If the power went out, you have an excuse (especially if other people missed the exam). Use it! Talk to the professor - if that doesn't work, talk to the department chair - if that doesn't work, talk to the dean. At worst, they can tell you no. If they each say...

No. She has a base that doesn't care how badly she messes things up, McCain doesn't.

If you want to be an engineer, why not study engineering? I know several people with majors in both math and a field of engineering. Your personal statement will be more meaningful, your application will be competitive, and you can easily find well paying work should you not go on to grad school.

Not really. Data structures is fundamentally about how algorithms reflect the underlying data structure, Languages is fundamentally about the capacity of programming languages to express computation.

Computer graphics.

Hoffman and Kunze

To be frank, if a large nuclear war happened, that's exactly where I'd want to be. Let's get it over with ASAP!

In that case, CS would probably be the best way to go. You can always take a few SE classes on the side. FYI, as a math/CS dual major, I hated the pair of hardware classes I took.

Note that a search of posts made by kyleb with the term 'gates' turns up two posts: the above, along with another post in which he states a preference for Cohen. In neither of these posts does he profer reasons for his statement - so are we to assume kyleb's statement on faith? Otherwise, I...
