Computer Science & Physics Double Majoring

Click For Summary
Double majoring in Computer Science and Physics is a common path for students who develop an interest in both fields, particularly after taking calculus-based physics courses. Many students have successfully combined these disciplines, with examples including Computer Science/Physics, Physics/Engineering, and Physics/Math majors. The discussion highlights that pursuing a double major can be beneficial, especially for those who enjoy the analytical and problem-solving aspects of both subjects. Additionally, some individuals have transitioned from undergraduate studies in Computer Science to graduate programs in Physics, indicating a fluidity between these fields in academic pursuits.

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 not sure if it's normall, I would think it is. Plus, what's it to you whether it's normal or not?
 
Yes I have known a few Computer Science/Physics majors also
some Physics/Engineering(Electrical), Physics/Math and Physics/Chemistry.

I myself got my undergraduate degree in Computer Science/Mathematics and took a lot of physics classes before picking Graduate Physics over mathematics.
 

Thread 'Interested in Astronomy as a Freshman'

TL;DR: How can I begin to gain an understanding of astronomy? Hello there, and thank you in advance to anyone that might answer this. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post a question like this, as I am new to this website and also very nervous about making a post that others might see/reply to. I am a freshman in high school and I am interested in astronomy. I want to learn about space, but I am not quite sure where to begin. Is there anything that I can do to seriously expand my...
