Read "introduction to flight" by John Anderson to get a sense of what aerospace engineering is about.

You should try your hardest to push for getting in to calculus. See if the college accepts CLEP or AP credit for precalc and if so, use it to place out of precalc. Otherwise, take the CLEP exam once you've self studied calc 1 and use it to place into calc 2. What do you plan to use to study...

If the classes for aerospace and physics are the same, then you shouldn't feel the need to decide now. Which grades of highschool are you in now? What level are you at with math, and what level are you at with physics? Which state are you in?

Let me know what you think of this video

I wonder if Go will become the new strategy game of choice - even post-AI, top Go play is not as memorization intensive as Chess

Well this makes sense to me since the government is largely responsible for and leading the way on these issues. If I wanted a better iPhone, for example, naturally that would require more money and power to Apple.

This linked paper is very interesting: https://kirkmcd.princeton.edu/examples/lewin.pdf

This video revisits the classic debate with some good physics and simulations in SPICE You can skip to 42:34 to skip the physics review.

What's disturbing? I'm not surprised that CS enrollment is declining. Even before the AI boom, the CS new grad market was overcorrecting from the 2019-2021 era of CS grads easily being able to get jobs.

I don't think the UI allows me to tell if a thread is new to me, either. AFAICT it just shows a few words from the title of the most recent thread.

On mobile, when looking at the forum categories on the homepage (e.g. stem advising), I can't see when the most recent post was made, which I could before. This is important to me because it allows me to tell at a glance if there's a new thread I should check out. (Is the most recent thread a...

There are definitely companies where robustness and correctness is a priority (e.g. defense, trading). It seems like you might enjoy working as a developer at a quantitative trading company - the jobs are hard to get, but the focus (low level code (usually c++) with an emphasis on avoiding...

What is the cost of setting up your bills to auto-deduct from your account?

Do you mean any CS/math problems that are challenging (e.g. this: https://www.janestreet.com/puzzles/current-puzzle/ ) or stuff like automata theory / P=NP? Can you expand on why you feel that software engineering isn't in line with your interests? There are places that prefer students with a...

Try speaking with faculty at your institution working in computational physics/chem/bio or applying ML to physical/chemical/biological phenomena (often termed "scientific ML"), and see if you can join their lab more on the CS side while you transition to physics/chem/bio. Your background in...
