AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a fourth-year electrical engineering student expressing a strong interest in mathematics, physics, and analytical subjects. The student has identified two potential areas of focus within electrical engineering: Antenna and Propagation, and Image Processing. However, they also acknowledge the possibility of being drawn to other fields in computer engineering. The student seeks guidance on which of the two areas might be a better fit and whether they should explore additional fields. A suggestion is made that Image Processing may align better with the student's interests and skills, particularly given its reliance on mathematical concepts and programming. The conversation also touches on the relevance of engineering science, which involves modeling engineering systems using computers, emphasizing the importance of mathematics, statistics, and programming in engineering disciplines.

I am a student of electrical engineering (Electronics and communication 4th year,to be specific).

Ever since my childhood, I have always had great interest in Mathematics,especially about thinking how to solve a problem and why something is like this and not that.Later on in my intermediate I realized that I like Physics to the same extent.I now think that I like any subject that makes use of Mathematics,logic,reasoning and are analytic in nature.I thought engineering also has some fields that could interest me.

However,I think I'm very bad in lab or in practical aspect of engineering.
At this stage I have found that I have interest in 2 major fields of electrical engineering
1-Antenna and Propagation
2-Image processing

However,I think that I cannot deny that there are other fields in computer engineering that can interest me and even to an extent greater than that of the fields mentioned above.

I'm basically expecting your help for my graduate education.Which one of the above two suits me? or I should not only be confined to above two or there is another field that you can suggest me which you think suits me.

I want suggestion regarding what I should do?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
have you checked out engineering science? most of which in the uni I'm in is about modeling engineering systems with computers.
It would need lots of maths, and some stats and programming (all engineers and physicist should know how to programme anyway...)

as to choosing one of the two fields, image processing seems to suit you better by the sound of it
 
Thank you for the suggetion
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
