I certainly can't speak much for transferring from Physics to comp sci, but if it's worth anything I can vouch for the value of a B.S. in comp sci as well. I have several relatives and friends who obtained a comp sci degree, one of which eventually became the Director of Technology at the Union...
Okay, for financial reasons I am just a tad late to the party on where I will be attending school for my Freshman year in college this fall. I have been accepted to several schools in state (I do live in Alabama though, so nothing special) but I feel like saving an incredible load of money at a...
You know I really believe that is what it all comes down to. Walter Lewin said in what I believe was his last lecture at MIT, that the one thing aspiring Physicists need is to love it. Most people would rather have financial success at the end of the day. Thanks for the insight!
Why do you say it is a terrible idea to begin with? Astrophysics is definitely what I am headed for (I suppose it would have been valuable to have mentioned that earlier) and grad school has always been my plan.
I will not be working toward a B.S. in Mathematics. I am soon to be working toward a B.S. in Physics. I am strong in both Trig and Algebra, but I did not want to have to learn Calculus and Physics side by side.
I have absolutely no doubt this question has been asked many times over, so I apologize in advance for that. This is my first day with the forums. The question is pretty much self explanatory. I need to become very familiar with Calculus over this summer, and I am already looking at the Calculus...
I am graduating from high school soon, in three days actually, and I need just a bit of advice on where I should go to school to be a Physics student. I live in Alabama and I'm in a position where I have to entirely pay for my college education, and because I did not do particularly well on the...
