Hi everyone, I graduate with a degree in Physics years back here in our country. My thesis involved developing support software for a LIDAR facility in our university. I've been working as a programmer ever since, mostly using Delphi and Java. I'm really interested in Physics (that's why I...

Hello, I'm a sophomore majoring in Computer Science, and have become more and more drawn to physics after taking "calc based physics 1&2". I'm just wondering if double majoring in Computer Science and Physics is normal. Thanks!

I'm an undergraduate majoring in physics and computer science. I plan to go to graduate school, assuming I can get accepted...somewhere. But, let's say, right after graduation, what are some immediate careerss one could have? I already have an idea of some of the various careers of course, but...

I'm thinking of taking a computer science course this year at school. In order to take it, I need to take either C++ or Java as a co-requisite. Which one would help out with the ap computer science course the most? Also I'm pretty sure that the computer science course would help me out in...

I want to be in a position where I can design hardware, then write low level codes on chips (firmware) to make the hardware adaptable to software. Let's take a dvd player for example, I am thinking that if I have to write firmware so that the hardware and software can interact, I think that I...

From a few university webpages I see the recommended computer science course for science majors utilizes Java. Is there any particular reason for this? I thought Fortran (and others like C/C++) was the main programming language of science... Edit: Oops, I didn't mean to post this in academic...

I'm planning for the fall semester in which I'll start taking classes that'll count for a CS minor. The thing is, I'm not sure if I need it or not. I'm an Electrical Engineer. I heard people tell me to take more programming classes than the usual EE program the school offers. Many people double...

Computer Science Java Programming Help! Determine whether or not an integer given by the user is a prime number. You may assume that the number is greater than or equal to 2. You may conditions that are in the form “if x is divisible by y” when writing your algorithm. HINT: One way of...

I believe that computer science is very important to EE because of firmware and so on. I was wondering, the firmware of a dvd player can be upgraded (i did that to mine to gain extra features) however that is limited by the chipset. But it seems like dvd manufacturers prefer to release a new...

I have recently switched employers to one provides educational assistance. This means they will cover the cost of tuition and books at an accredited university. It seems foolish to waste such an opportunity however I have a slight problem in selecting a major for a master's degree...

OK i have this question that i do not understand at all. please help if you can. The hexadecimal dump from part of a computer's memory is as follows: 0000: 4265 6769 6EFA 47FE B087 0086 3253 7A29 0010: C800 E000 0000 The dump is made up of rows of groups of four hexadecimal...

Idea ? Hello all! I'm back again...sorry to say...I'm busy these days with my exams...and lots of club works... Ok...I've problem...I want to take research on Computer Science subject...but problem is as we are in South Aisa...we don't get much upto date news about technology...I...

Hello all I need help with java. On Tuesday we will be having a test on superclasses and subclasses. There will be basic questions such as: Can a subclass inherit from a superclass's private instance variables? The answer is no. However, I really need to work on the free response section my...

I'm a freshman in college majoring in computer science.. but I'm thinking about changing my major to Engineering Physics. It's bascially Physics, but requires you to do one of a few things, such as minoring in computer science. One of the reasons I'd switch my major is because I've heard the job...

Do you know any good computer sites/forums like this ? I intend to go learn computer sciences. Thank you so sososo much

I'm currently in college and majoring in physics. After speaking with my physics advisor (head of department) today, him and I believe that I can make myself more employable if I become a double-major with my other major being focused on something within the technology sector. The school I am...

Hello all I will be taking an AP Computer Science class this year. We will be learning Java. Can anyone give me a quick understanding of Java? What are its uses? Is it similar to C? Thanks

I know, I know, I am irritating. I am between physics and CS. So, does anyone know if UAH has a good undergraduate computer science program?

New Programmers Start Here I thought I'd start this thread about useful sites programmers could go to if they needed general help or information about programming. This forum gets a lot of, "What programming language should I start off with?" or "How do I get started on PHP?" type questions...

For visual basic I need to write a term paper on any topic in computer science that is in depth enough to last four pages. Any interesting ideas?

I'm a computer science major and I was talking to a senior and he was doing a program for a presentation and he was explaining it to me. He went on about third and fourth dimensional arrays and he said that I will understand it better when I take physics. I didn't realize that physics had a lot...

I will creat a web-based training course with animation for a physics course including mechanics as agraduate project from computer science college.So, I need someone to help me about the softwares available which they deal with the animation graphics which depended on the entry value. OR any...
