This is what I was going to say.
Many people say that the book "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs" by Gerald Jay Sussman and Hal Abelson revolutionized the way CS is taught. Instead of spending all the time learning specifics about some programming language, you spend more time...
I am currently studying a double major in EE and CS, just finished first year, going into second year. As you said, there is some QM in EE but what I am worried about is whether QM will become a more important part of EE in the future or not. It is difficult to predict the future, but in this...
The redesign was not made to explicitly incorporate more QM, I think my wording is a bit confusing, but what they did is that they reduced core EECS requirements from 4 down to 2 so that students can have more flexibility to go into more depth in a particular area. They also introduced 6 QM...
What I found to be most useful is having a positive attitude towards the subject and being interested in it.
Sleep is vital. Everyone says this but that is only because it is true and important. Ever since I started getting enough sleep, everything changed. If you have an exam in the morning...
Hello,
I recently read that MIT redesigned its EECS program. It redesigned it about 30 years ago to include more mathematics and solid-state physics but this time they are adding more QM.
At my university, we study basic QM in freshman year physics and then again in third year in an EE subject...
I did general chemistry (covers organic chemistry, physical chemistry and inorganic chemistry) as a science elective (I am a CS + maths double major) and I didn't like organic chemistry at all because it was basically naming things and memorising new vocabulary. I didn't like physical chemistry...
Programming is constantly evolving and its evolution is linked to development in technology and to be a good programmer, you need to be always up to date with new programming technologies so I would way yes.
Edit: the kind of technology you need to be interested in is not what new iPhone came...
I personally think the amount of work you need to do in medical school to become a surgeon is hard work. If you apply that kind of hard work to any field (be it engineering, physics, mathematics, CS, business etc.) the probability of success becomes very high.
Why do you want to double major? Why not do a single major in physics (if you are certain you want to be a physicist) and take whatever classes you think are useful to you as a physicist? i.e. take a mixture of maths and CS classes.
Edit: I just need to point out that CS != programming...
In terms of CS employment, I think there are no benefits of having a physics minor. I.e. employers will not prefer you over someone with a straight CS major.
If you are interested in physics, then there is nothing wrong with doing a minor in physics.
Do you do discrete maths, probability...
Good luck man.
For my AP physics exam, I remember watching the movie Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle the night before. I ended up doing extremely well.
For my AP chemistry exam, I remember studying very hard the days leading to the exam, revising everything and practicing heaps of...
