AI Thread Summary
A high school student nearing graduation is seeking advice on choosing a minor to complement a major in mathematics, aiming for a financially rewarding career post-graduation. While considering options, the student expresses skepticism about economics and is interested in the stock market. The discussion highlights that combining math with computer science (CS) is a lucrative path, but emphasizes the importance of a genuine interest in programming. It suggests experimenting with Python to gauge interest in programming before making a decision.

I'm not in university yet but i only need one more semester of high school to get into university. I'm planning on majoring in math but i want to get a minor with it as well. Does anybody know what minor along with math will get me money right out of graduation? I heard economics is bs so i don't really want to go into that. I want to play the stock market a little bit as well.

Math+CS is a lucrative combo, but only if you really love programming. o.O If you have never messed around with programming, perhaps you could play with some Python and see if you like it.

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...

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

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...
