/sci/ - Science & Math

We have this thread everyday.
Besides, true STEM master race is double majoring in math and a natsci/compsci of your choice. Self study whatever else you’re interested in. Take a GRE subject test in it someday to show it was more than just passing interest. I wanna study the intersection of physics and theoretical computer science. Your major is not your identity.

t. math and CS double major

When did this board become self-loathing /r9k/ power hour. I don’t care about your attitude on women and dating. This is the math and science board. The bitchboy board is a few doors up.

>another “so this test told me I might be good at thinking this, am I good enough for these fields?”

If you have to defer to /sci/ for validation, then no, you are not. Just study what you want to study.

Why the fuck does this board have such a hard on for arguing over the legitimacy of CS? Undergrads are generally dumb, but that’s usually the case with STEM dorks in majors that lead to high paying fields.

Every PhD (math, cs, and physics) I’ve talked to has told me that once you get your doctorate, you can study whatever you please as long as you can spin it into your qualifications or make yourself qualified to study it. You guys really need to take an ego check.

On that note: if you consider mathematics a formal science (rather than a natural one), then computer science can be a formal science. This is ironic since computer science is an inherently intuitionist view of mathematics and processes.
