Yes but I dont see how that means analytic philosophers want to BE in a STEM field. If you remember, Russell wanted to remove the obscurity of philosophy propagated by Idealists like Bradley so he used tools from Frege and Math to do so. It seems like you're confusing methodology with content. Besides there have been many philosophers who have made contributions to mathematics and many mathematicians who have made contributions to philosophy.

Fuck academia. Especially non-STEM shit. Liberal arts/humanities degrees are fucking worthless. The people that get them now don't even contribute to society or the economy.

Here's some advice for you morons:
Either go STEM or ditch college and learn a trade. And by go STEM I mean stick with Engineering or Computer Science mainly unless your a god tier genius at Math or some shit.

Otherwise you're wasting your time and money. Colleges should just be turned into pure vocational schooling anyway.

But as it stands right now, honestly, get a real degree. You want want a marketable education, not a political indoctrination. You can get the latter online easily enough.

Listen fags, Economics is inherently a science in the way that Leon Walras treats it, and I don't think you could tell me any differently.

It's the best kind of science: the science of how we manage our food, and the means to obtain food. And also, many times economics does not even attempt to explain the human relations and concepts of value, only to observe them. Learn what you're talking about before you talk about things.

That is literally what it boils down to.

Adam Smith literally valued things in corn, instead of monetary units. And he was not misguided to do so. Agriculture is the basis of what we know as economics.

It obviously gets more complex than that, but the best part about economics is that you can literally apply the findings to social relations that have existed previous to the economic findings themselves. I know of no other field like this, where you can apply calculus to exchange relations to determine how marginality governs the exchangeable value of commodities, and you can go back in time and use the charts that Adam Smith gave us and try to apply them to his charts on corn prices, and then gauge them against other goods. In other words, Adam Smith's personal system literally checked a day's work of labor or other things in the value of the corn produced from that day. In many ways, for Smith, corn was the monetary unit.

What excited me the most is being able to take some phenomenon most people will never understand, break it down, and describe it almost perfectly, even predict how it will change later or apply it to other things. That's what classical mechanics is all about. I like relativity too, being able to see how space and time themselves can be manipulated by forces we can barely even comprehend.

It depends on how you're looking at it.

Walras is the only economist I can really think of who extensively obsesses over the definitions like this. I think, in my opinion, people obsess far too much over what IS and IS NOT science, because science is clearly not correct all the time.

But in regards to what Walras said, he asserted that economics was a science as long as it remained descriptive, and was an art as long as it was prescriptive. He understood what his field was composed of.

What Walras did was mathematically adapted economics. You CAN NOT. I repeat CAN NOT read his literature without a working understanding of calculus. It is most certainly a science at that level, trust me.

But don't worry, I see where you're coming from.

My view is that science is a method, not a subject matter. So I definitely agree that science can be applied to the field of economics. The issue I see is many economists seem to believe their pet theories are ironclad and free of any political ideology when that's clearly not the case. Theories with an equivalent level of support in "true" STEM fields would be regarded as fringe.

I was just talking with some asian French guy in omegle about Economics (no surprise he is into mathematics, he is Asian AND French, lol) and he showed me some of his textbook, very heavy work on calculus. Extremely heavy mathematical stuff they do these days in economics.

But even HE said that Austrian economics made some valid points. I had to agree that capital injections into the country, no matter how beneficial the Keynesian Investment multiplier was for employment, it would devalue the monetary unit considerably.

In addition, Carl Menger, as opposed to Jevons who DID use mathematics, is the only economist who actually explained the concept of marginal utility very efficiently using ONLY arithmetical tables, and Walras commended him on this.

Although I agree with you, in order to appreciate the finer elements of economics, it IS always nice to appreciate SOME Austrian economists sometimes. After all, they actually do understand Neoclassicalists or Marginalists who utilize the calculus. They aren't using mathematics for a purely philosophical reason, and it's not completely invalid.

Of course, some fucking retard is going to run away with this idea and think to himself he doesn't need to learn calculus. No retard! You should just read Wikipedia because calculus is important for anything. But Leon Walras and Carl Menger did prove the concept of marginality could be proved with calculus or with only arithmetic, respectively.

>many economists seem to believe their pet theories are ironclad and free of any political ideology
It depends on what you're talking about. I have to concede there is a great deal of glossing over the sociological implications of some things in economics. For example, I find that frequently economists who focus on the mathematical elements too much lose sight of what their equations actually MEAN. But in the long run, I think there are economists who take a balance between understanding the theory AND the equations particularly well, like Keynes.

I wholeheartedly agree though, there is a sort of personal philosophy to economics, in that the system you describe is sometimes MEANT to prescribe things. Like Keynes system. And this is the flaw.

The best economists are the ones that lay the questions out on the table, the objective of the whole affair, much like good philosophers. And then they proceed to delineate the concepts through mathematical or empirical proofs.

A professor I have right now wrote an entire textbook on chaos and non-linear dynamics and put it all online against my university's wishes because he was angry that they told him to monetize it. He's one of the main theorists that turned it into a field in the first place. There are homework assignments you can test yourself with at whatever pace you want (all of them Python coding with an autograder) and a Piazza page you can join to ask him or others questions. It's a graduate class, so a lot of it will probably go over your head (half of it goes over mine), but there are some really interesting concepts in here.

I'm only a third year myself but the more I learn about it the more I realize almost all of it is composed of approximations to varying degrees of accuracy. I don't mind that, really - it just takes a shift in thinking from "these are the laws of all reality" to "this is how the human race makes sense of and explores reality." You're at the point that your courses explode out from general physics to a dozen subjects at once and you'll find some you like and some you don't. Good luck anon.

>In addition, Carl Menger, as opposed to Jevons who DID use mathematics, is the only economist who actually explained the concept of marginal utility very efficiently using ONLY arithmetical tables, and Walras commended him on this.
i thought austrians were against using empirical evidence not mathematics???

Other way around. Whereas most Neoclassicists and Keynesian thinkers use equations and logic to explain concepts, Austrian economists use simple empirical evidence and logic. Their concept of exchange value, some of them, is based wholly on the HISTORICAL EXCHANGE VALUE. I'm NOT even kidding, it is kind of silly.

The best Austrian economist, the one you have to read in order to understand Keynes, is Carl Menger. He is the one whom everyone bases their writings on. Brilliant work, Principles of Economics, that.

People studying medicine usually have high appreciation of cinema, theatre, literature and music, whereas engineering students are a lot like business/economics studens who are often quite conservative and mainly career oriented.

Math/physics/chemistry majors fall somewhere inbetween, depending on the individual, of course.

Study physics for your Bachelors degree and get a grad degree in a specialized area in Engineering.
That's the smartest way to do things, you'll make just as much money and you'll probably be a better engineer that those who did a straight degree

industrial is the correct answer, it exists because of abstractions. it's a field based on emergent phenomena.

other types of engineers solve specific problems and then the properties of implementations get studied by industrial engineers

they call it imaginary engineering

btw im not an industrial engineer

Obviously pure mathematics, it's not even a competition. Can't say I'm too into it myself, as most that are subscribe to some form of so-called 'platonism', which I think is retarded. I treat it as mostly arbitrary human constructions, same as science. I can definitely see the appeal though. It's the most elegant, artistic, boundless, and aimless subject, therefore the most /lit/.
