Which applied physics concentration to pick?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenges faced by a freshman applied physics major in selecting a concentration and potential career paths. Key areas of interest include dual majoring in applied physics and applied math, with specific concentrations like biophysics and optical science and engineering being considered. The individual expresses a strong passion for physics and a desire to participate in initiatives similar to the Google X Lunar Prize, while also indicating a reluctance to switch majors to fields like aerospace or electrical engineering. The possibility of pursuing a master's in engineering after completing a degree in applied physics and math is mentioned as a potential pathway to align with future career goals.

sorry i already made a similar topic before but i didnt get any response so i decided to be more specific. i am an applied physics major freshman. i have to pick a concentration of studies but i don't know what to pick.

what are some possible career paths for dual majoring in applied physics/applied math?

concentration in biophysics?

optical science and engineering?

the reason i picked applied physics is because i love physics and couldn't decide which engineering i want to major in.

on random note,i want to participate in something like google x lunar prize in the future.but i don't want to change my major or dual major in computer science or study atrophysics..

Well, most likely not astro physics for that, you would need something like an aerospace engineer, electrical engineer etc. I do not really see how astro would be useful at all for landing a vehicle on the moon...

well, i did say i don't want to study atro so..thats no problem. but i do not want to change my major so EE and AE is out of the question. unless i study applied physics and math then get masters in engineering...
 
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.
