Hi everyone,
I'm thinking about doing a computer science/physics double major. I'm interested in computational physics, so I think it'd be a good match.
So I guess I have two questions...
1. If I wanted to do computational physics, would a computer science/math double major be a good foundation to get into grad school for computational physics? Or would it be better to have a stronger physics background?
2. What are the normal courses in a good physics program? The school I'm going to requires these courses:
Engineering Physics I & II
Modern Physics
Applied Mathematics
Analytical Mechanics
Microcomputer Interfacing
Electromagnetic Theory
Advanced Laboratory
Thermodynamics & Statistical Mechanics
Quantum Mechanics
Is there anything missing from this that a physics undergrad should normally take?
Thanks!
