Dual Masters in Math and Computer science?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the desire to delve deeper into discrete mathematics, particularly combinatorics and graph theory, following initial coursework in programming and an upper division combinatorics class. There is an aspiration to pursue a PhD, although concerns about the current undergraduate GPA affecting admission prospects are noted. Georgia Tech is highlighted as a potential institution with a program in Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization, which aligns with the interests expressed. The conversation emphasizes the importance of finding suitable programs in the U.S. that cater to these mathematical areas.

After taking a couple classes on programming (I know, CS isn't just programming) and an upper division intro to combinatorics, I'd like to get more into the area of discrete mathematics. I hope to pursue a PhD at some point, but I'm not sure how strong of a school I can get into since currently my undergrad GPA isn't the greatest. But combinatorics/graph theory and programming are very interesting, so I was wondering if there were any schools in the U.S. that may have such a program.

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
