So yeah I was going to apply to this uni until I stumbled at their EE curriculum which is as follow: I'm not very expert, but you know wish to know the expert opinion in this regard Calculus I Calculus II Calculus III Linear Algebra Differential Equations Numerical Methods...

Hey everyone, Last summer I had realized that my interest in science had spiked dramatically, and more specifically, the cosmos and physics, so I decided to research the available colleges around me and decided to start off at a community college to take the entry level courses to see if my...

Hi! I'm a bit stumped on this computer-science-related statistics (I think that's what it would fall under) problem. It's over here: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/796517/correlation-between-the-degree-of-two-vertices-in-an-undirected-graph/796526?noredirect=1#796526 It would be...

Hi! I am from Pakistan and recently came to the United States. A short history, I did my high school in 2007 in Computer Science and the joined a flying school and got my pilot license. But due to the crisis in an Aviation industry in my country I couldn't continue my career and had to wait...

I am an international student. I had applied to some colleges in the States and got accepted in a few. I have paid my enrollment deposit to a selective liberal arts college because it offered be a very good financial aid (and the others weren't affordable for me at all). But I want to be an...

The thing is I love computers, and I think a degree in Computer science can amplify that passion. However, just this time, I began to have interest in Physics to which I have no idea that I have. I am sincerely considering taking a double degree in both of these areas. Unfortunately, I don't...

I'm double majoring in Chemistry / Materials Science & Engineering undergrad and I'm wandering yes it has engineering in the title but it also has Science as well. Is this engineering say more theory based than others? I read descriptions saying it designs metal alloys and everything like...

Hi, currently my job doesn't satisfy my interests as it doesn't especially utilise the skills or knowledge obtained from my PhD. Not only that, but I feel my PhD research itself was very systems based and top level (since it was industrially sponsored) and since then I've been hoping to enter a...

Hi, I'm an international student from Malaysia and I recently got accepted to UMass Amherst majoring in Physics for my Bachelors Degree. Should I: 1. Accept the offer and transfer to a better school (if I get the chance). or 2. Major in Computer Science in a local university that has...

I'm considering doing a computer science degree (in the UK) but recently I've been put off from reading what other people have to say about it. It seems most people think a degree in maths, physics or engineering is much better because with those degrees you can do everything you could do with a...

Howdy All! I have been lurking in the shadows of physicsforums for a few months now, but this is my first official post here. A bit of background about me. I'm technically in my second year of university, but I say "technically" because I more or less squandered away my first year. I'm...

Hi all, For those in software, computer science, or a related field, how much of a math background really comes in handy? And specifically, what are some topics you've learned in college math classes, and found yourself successfully applying? I've really enjoyed what math I've taken so far...
