Engineering Can I be a Video Game Designer with a Degree in Electrical Engineering
As someone who has done game programming (non professionally for indie games), I am not sure electrical engineering will be enough. It is usually more focused on hardware, and while much of game programming needs to be done at a low level to optimize performance. This is usually achieved though...- MathWarrior

Java Java Multiple Constructors Question
It initializes the object, but does not set the internal members to anything. You could add setter functions to set them to specific values. I am pretty sure you don't need a default constructor, if you don't want one. I believe a default constructor will only be automatically generated by...- MathWarrior

Java Java Multiple Constructors Question
Consider the code you provided: public Note() { // These are arguments, are currently undefined. this(id, name, description, date, sTime, eTime, list); } How is this code going to call the other constructor namely: public Note(int, String, String, Date, Time, Time, List )...- MathWarrior

Programming Advice: Learn Java for Fast Results
How well do you know java? I would assume if you know it well enough you should easily be able to transfer the skills you have there to any other programming language. Consider learning another language C# perhaps? There is no single method for becoming a great programmer, it requires hard...- MathWarrior

Java Java Multiple Constructors Question
I think the problem is that you don't understand what static actually does to your code. When using static only one instance of a static field exists. I am unsure of exactly what you are trying to accomplish with your code, other then what the class does, but I would say its probably best to not...- MathWarrior

Vector equation for a line segment in 3 dimensions
What is the formula the book threw in ? Your solution appears to be in the vector form of a line. Namely: $$<x_0, y_0, z_0>+t < a, b, c>$$- MathWarrior

Programs Getting a Physics Degree While Working in the US
You will need a PhD to do any sort of constant research, as a general rule of course.. I suspect there might be jobs for people with a masters in it.- MathWarrior

Took too many short cuts, suffering as a result
Laziness and shortcuts seem correlated, I suggest you stop both of these and focus. How you do that is more up to you though. I would recommend going back and studying all the text-books you previously did and cover the topics you are feeling there are gaps in.- MathWarrior

Binary Language or Alternatives
Artificial Intelligence usually revolves around modern programming languages, not binary. Example: C++, C, C#, Java, Python, Lisp, Prolog, etc. These are all names of modern day programming languages hardly anyone writes directly in binary now of days. It does however come up in assembly...- MathWarrior

Why physics and chemistry for computer science?
That is why they offer degrees in software engineering, and computer information systems. People who do not want to take math intensive studies and hard sciences probably should not study computer science. Most people have no idea what is meant by computer science, it is not simply programming...- MathWarrior

Random Number Generator in C# Using System.Random
Change the access modifier: static public void NoBoundsRandoms(int seed) by default it would set the access modifier to private which is what your current code does.- MathWarrior

Schools Question about Calculus 1 in university.
To be blunt, Stewart Calculus is bad, at least that is the general feeling I get from people I know who have used it. It looks like Morris Klien's book goes up to Calculus 3.- MathWarrior

Why physics and chemistry for computer science?
Physics actually has some direct uses in computer science, I am not as sure about chemistry though. Some uses I can think of for physics are collision detection, physics, etc. in graphics programming and game development. In fact graphics theory uses a lot of physics, especially optics.- MathWarrior
