AI Thread Summary
Taking AI as an elective is highly recommended for computer science students, especially those who enjoy discrete mathematics. The connection between AI and algorithms underscores the importance of mathematical foundations in understanding AI concepts. Engaging in theory and math-heavy courses enhances overall knowledge and provides a well-rounded education in computer science. This breadth of knowledge is crucial for effectively grasping complex AI topics and algorithms.

i am be computer science third year. i love discrete mathematics and am being told that ai is pretty much algorithms as maths. so should i take it as an elective?

Yes.

(Since one word replies probably aren't allowed, it's good to branch into the theory/math heavy comp sci courses so you have decent breadth. )
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
