/sci/ - Science & Math

Physics is the best undergraduate degree.

In what order do you learn mathematics?
>Arithmetic
>Algebra
>Geometry
>Trigonometry
>Single Variable Calculus
>Multi-Variable Calculus
>Linear Algebra
>Ordinary Differential Equations
>Partial Differential Equations
>Analysis
>Abstract Algebra
Is this optimal? After Ordinary Differential Equations, you could easily study Physics as well, correct?

Any other pre-calc brainlets on here trucking along, or am I the only one?

To supplement this, here is then the average graduate school exam scores by intended graduate program. Physics, classics, philosophy, and math seem to dominate the highest scores for their respective sections.

How useful is this? I'm not sure. These scores could be explained by how competitive certain majors/programs are, and people who think they will not score adequately might not bother choosing the more competitive programs, so these certain majors stand out when it could be artificial.

I guarantee none of you would have an easy time in philosophy.

This thread is for analyzing findings in statistics related to college undergraduate/graduate programs, especially to find anomalies.

So, this chart is showing that people who intend to attend graduate school for physics and philosophy/classical language are the HIGHEST scoring on the GRE overall.
Why is this? Is it because they majored in physics or philosophy? Do these majors make you smarter or do smart people gravitate to physics and philosophy and if so then why?

It also shows that Engineering is mildly lower than Physics quantatatively(why?) but verbally, Engineering scores significantly lower, even below average across almost all engineering graduate programs. Why is this?

Mathematics seems to be almost entire comparable to physics scores but not quite.

Chemistry and Biology seem to be undeniably earning lower scores. Do they not have what it. takes for math/physics/philosophy etc?

The image is from another thread and I don't condone any of what was added to it.

All of these charts show what people who are already smart choose to major in. You aren't going to become smart because you majored in physics, math, philosophy etc..

I sincerely hope you pass the blue intelligence barrier. You probably don't though.
