Programs Scientific Computing / Simulation and Modeling Degrees?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on pursuing degrees in scientific computing, high-performance computing, and computational simulation and modeling, with specific mention of programs like Georgia Tech's Computational Science and Engineering and Stanford's Computational and Mathematical Engineering. Participants express interest in the career paths available for graduates, questioning which job markets are most suitable. Potential industries highlighted include finance (Wall Street), oil and defense, aerospace engineering, and biotechnology, suggesting that graduates' versatility may enhance their employability. Additionally, traditional software engineering roles are noted as a fallback option for those with these degrees. Various programs offering specializations in computational science are also referenced, indicating a broad interest in the field's educational opportunities.

I just was wondering if anyone here has pursued a degree in scientific computing / high performance computing / computational simulation and modeling, type of degree. For example Georgia Tech's Computational Science and Engineering degree or Computational and Mathematical Engineering degree, or something like a Masters of Engineering in Simulation and Modeling? What did you end up doing? What job markets they'd be best suited for?

I am wondering about this too (and I was specifically looking at GT's program). I'd be interested in knowing if these people would be suited for any jobs that actually require some science or engineering to them.

I can imagine that Wall St. wouldn't mind at all to hire these people. Oil and defense probably also? Maybe if you had a concentration in fluids or aerospace engineering, you could do software at an aerospace firm? Perhaps biotech might find these people useful as well. I wonder if their versatility helps them in getting jobs (my guess is that it would). These are all guesses really. Then of course, there's always your typical software engineering job as a fallback.
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
