The math degree might hurt you. I could definitely see an admissions committee thinking you're too indecisive and not letting you in. They really don't want to see that you've bounced around and collected degrees like easter eggs. They want to see a solid undergraduate background in physics...

If you don't know differential geometry, you'll never be able to make your wife happy.

Differential Geometry

It's all illusions.

Limited by what? Stay as long as you want.

I wouldn't waste time in two left-brained degrees if you have right-brained aptitude. Being a well-balanced individual is far more valuable in life than having a few extra number crunching skills for a job. A friend of mine double majored in Physics and Romance Languages and he's now in grad...

There's nothing weird about that. You take their approved electives to fill in the electives you need for your math degree. Then you tell them you're taking philosophy courses also so that you can fulfill your major requirements for your second degree. Like I said, it would take an extra...

Drop the honors program and do a double major in math and philosophy. Like one other poster said, it may take an extra year, but so what?

Go with the minor for sure.

Do you not have some sort of joint-enrollment plan where you live? Four years of high school is really a waste of time and those AP classes are highly inefficient--it's better to just take courses at the local college if you can; you'll have more options that way.

I went to the library yesterday to search for Zettili (since it was listed as Not Checked Out), but the book wasn't there. I picked up this other book by Scherrer which doesn't seem too bad so far, but I've been unable to find any reviews for it online.

A very good point.

Yes.

Yeah, that's what I said..."there's nothing wrong with speculation"

I wouldn't pay any attention to rankings. There are so many variables in life that it's pointless to base such a big decision on something as arbitrary as rankings. I was hired at one job just because I went to the same school as the hiring manager. Wouldn't it have been ironic to get turned...
