Hi,

I am currently a freshman at college, and planning to take all of the courses belong to these fields: Computer (coding), Mathematics, and Physics. My intended list comprises of following core courses:

Calculus I, II, and III, Differential Equation, Biology-I, Chemistry I, Physics I and II

Along with that, should I take Computer courses like: C++, JAVA, Visual Basic, Computer Graphics, and other networking courses like CCNA?

I am planning my career for HelioPhysics.

Thank you!

Regards,
Noman Rasheed
