TL;DR Summary: I am interested in computer science and I want some advice for this amazing field.

I am good at math and logic, and I think programming is a learnable skill. I want to go into AI development/Machine learning, or cybersecurity. I am currently learning Python and by the end of the summer I will have learned a lot of python and some C++

All responses mean a lot! Thank you!

There are some Youtube tutorials that teach programming AI image recognition using Python. IMO, they are a very good way to start self-teaching the subject. Here is a series that uses the Jetson Nano, which is a single-board-computer with some special hardware for neural networks: Learning Artificial Intelligence on the Jetson Nano

I see you are worrying about what to major in. Let me remind you that you will be twice as old as you are now when you graduate. Lots can change in that time - both in the world and in you.

The most important thing is that you do well where you are right now.

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
