I'm mainly interested with mathematics, but physics is closely linked with it. I'm only getting a minor in physics (with a major in Math & Computer Science) while an undergraduate. I may go back later to get a degree in physics.

But, to answer the question, I mainly got so interested because of my very, very quirky high school physics teacher. Plus, I love to know why things act the way they do, not just that they act the way they do.

I'd always been good at math and science in high school, so with some family pressure I started my undergrad in chemical engineering. Near the end of my first semester, I realized it wasn't for me. Second semester I took my first college physics course, changed majors, and never looked back.
