Cool. Right now I'm just throwing ideas all over the place and asking lots of questions.
I'm feeling certain I don't want academia, and certain I wish to start my own AI/Robotics company. Now I just have to figure out how to get there :biggrin:
In some ways it seems natural to do the...
I'm not sure, "what a big way" means. But if it means academia, then that's not even a concern anymore of mine. That game is better left to someone else. As far as being confident in starting my own robotics company, I feel pretty good.
I've been told with my past I'm quite abnormal and...
I have got 4 years experience with troubleshooting electronics from radar, to Signal data converters to mechanics like the missile launcher. And prior to that 2 years (23 months and 1 week) of electronics. I was an FC2 in the Navy.
Maybe that will fly for some hands on experience? There...
My EE is definitely further along than my comp sci. I have not even taken data structs yet.
I have two years of training from the Navy in electronics also. I could go into junior level EE classes.
Currently I'm pondering the AI/Robotics path. I'm thinking maybe a masters in AI and a...
How realistic is it to apply to a masters in EE or Comp Sci from pure math?
I do have basic physics, chemistry, applied math, and EE classes. But not beyond really the freshman/sophomore year of those - the exception may be junior and senior classes in applied math if I choose to take them...
Is it possible and/or likely to pursue a ph.d in applied mathematics and at the same time pick up a bachelors in EE? What about a masters in EE after that 2nd bachelors while still in a applied math ph.d program?
Learning Chinese is a great idea! So is an Asian language, Japanese, Thai, Indian, etc., etc.
It's insanely advantageous! Chinese is the worlds most spoken language. And it will remain so with its 1 billion plus people. Note, in 30 years there is roughly 1 billion seconds.
China puts...
私は日本語好きですね。日本はとてもすごいですよ！
edit: My wife reminds me most of you probably can't read this. You'll have to add the Japanese language to your systems. On Windows and Mac I'm not sure how to do this, but for Linux you need to add the library for Japanese for Firefox.
Fizix, Mathwonk has just generously given you some of the most profound advice I have ever heard given to another person. Indeed, if it was a theorem, it would produce 1,000 more theorems.
Please let this post and its length serve to you as an abstract template of how mathematics/ physics is...
I'm going to assume Ice was asking what makes a person marketable if they do not get into academia. I.e., what the heck do you do to secure a job after a PH.d / Masters where you are not going into Academic Physics.
Tid Bits:
I was reading the other day what makes a mathematician employable...
I agree with Jason on that too. I read last year via a IEEE notice I received (I think it was a notice) that learning a foreign language was the number 1 extra sought after thing for future engineers.
To that end, the Asian languages are sought after big time. Any dialect of Chinese is...
1) Biotechnology for designer gentic drugs
2) Nanotechnology for materials - energy
3) Robotics
Those are from Ray Kurzweil.
I say in addition
4) Web 3.0 and 4.0 technologies
5) Private Space Industry
Note, even Bill Gates agrees with Robotics.
Honestly, at this moment I am reviewing my options for when I am applying to graduate school next semester. I will most likely go mathematical physics. But I have a deep curiosity with Robotics/AI.
I'm hoping someday that there is an official field of Mathematical Robotics and Mathematical...
Actually, I have been phishing a little. I already know, and I'll show you where, Robotics intersects mathematics. I'm phishing for schools. I even already know a few.
Mathematics intersects Robotics in many areas. One primary area, is motion planning. We call it Computational Geometry...
