    Computer Science profession - what's it like?

    It's not a bad thing. You can choose what you like, and you don't have to decide now.

    Theoretical Physics vs Math: Regrets of Scientists

    Why not do both? I think they have a lot of things in common. Or take both math and physics courses and see which one you like more before you decide which one you want to stick with.

    Girls in Engineering: Will I Be Surrounded by Guys?

    If girls in other degree programs require a calculus class, I think its a different calculus course than the ones engineering ones have. Or at least in my university. Like, I'm doing maths, physics, cs but I don't take any common classes with engineering people. If there are girls in other...

    Computer Science profession - what's it like?

    In your senior years of CS, some universities offer project courses, where you work on various projects like - creating games, or designing something that is of practical use - let's say creating something for another department in the university that they need. Once you get into CS, see what...

    High School Degree & Classification of Polynomials | Easy Problem

    Reading the ^ signs and other stuff makes me woozy. Thank God for Latex. Hey HallsofIvy, how did you write all the exponents in a nice way that's readable?

    Using mathematics to escape the disconsolation of reality?

    My Bad. I didn't know how else to put it - in words. It feels that way because i feel that in math, you can always have many different approaches to it, and when you reach the end - you still get the same answer. It's fun. What you then, need to do is find the path that will get you to the...

    Computer Science profession - what's it like?

    Eek, I'm not a sir. I'm a newbie at CompSci myself. I'm trying to get into the field myself. Right now, I've taken some beginner level CompSci courses. I think there are a lot of options once you get into CompSci. There are things like software engineering (I think this is one of the big...

    Would It Be Appropriate to Ask a Professor for a Summer Assignment?

    I think researching in math would be quite hard. But that's just me. I'm just planning (actually more like hoping to)to read up on some topics myself over the summer too. I often get led astray. =( But I think talking to your prof about it should be a good idea. :P

    Using mathematics to escape the disconsolation of reality?

    I think you have been doing too much math. :) But I agree with you. I think it's nice because of its structure. There's almost* always a set structure to it. There's one right answer, not many.

    Programs Considering doing physics as 2nd major

    That seems like a common combination. Computer science and physics. I was at the computer science career fair a couple of months ago, and found they were looking for a lot of physics people as well in addition to their computer science degree. I'd say, go for it. Frankly, I think it might even...
