/sci/ - Science & Math

CS because I love computation and also I want to develop intelligent robots to exterminate mankind.

Physics because I want to answer metaphysical questions, about life and the universe, etc.
doesnt look like those questions are going to be answered before i die though

Engineering because I don't want to starve or be a teacher or other poorfag.

Russian history, because you need to pursue what you love and money will follow.

Engineering because I like applied science.

Also because I love dick.

Physics/Electrical Engineering because I have a learning addiction

What should one study if one wants to learn how the human body works and research ways to improve it?

Economics.

Because I am a hippy communist man who hates money and banks and I wanted to add credibility to my stupid ideas.

Just kidding. Thats everybody but me.

>>2943666
human physiology

Electrical Engineering

VLSI design mite b cool

>>2943666
Some sort of robotics geared towards prosthetics or implants or something with a minor in kinesiology?

Have no major but i wrote a ~40 pages long work about quantum physics...

Btw: I'm 17 and really enjoyed it =D

Electrical Engineering.

I want to design a phased array radar system that can fry a seagull at 1000m.

Actuarial Science..because I like money, and math.

Mechanical Engineering because I love everything to do with engineering and I would like to work in the defense industry.

Air conditioner repair because I'm cool like that.

Philosophy. I chose it because I get to use information from every single field, from the mundane to the cutting-edge, and write about anything I want.

Also, a degree in philosophy is basically a degree in troling

EE because i can literally go into almost any field i want

probably going to do patent work and eventually become a patent attorney and make bank

>>2943740
>patent attorney

The enemy of technological progression eh?

>>2943686
link or you are making shit up and have no understanding of what you wrote about

>>2943554
Aerospace engineering, because landing on the moon was the greatest achievement in the history of mankind.

Aerospace engineering, because space is awesome and I like being able to solve problems that require a shitton of other disciplines working together.

Aerospace engineering, because everyone was doing it and i wanted to be cool.

aerospace engineering, because i'm a faggot

Aerospace, because it was the first on the alphabetical list

EE is for fags.

People exaggerate their job opportunities so much

aerospace engineering, because 300k starting

EE because aerospace engineering was full.

Astronomy because you are NAWTHING. But seriously I want to play my part of explaining and exploring the universe.

>>2943989
well first you have to get there so you should have picked aerospace engineering

>>2943994
I'd rather sit in a comfy chair, tyvm.

Pharmacy because loadsa money.

>>2944052
This

>>2944052
>mfw when pharmacists are eliminated by robots in 15 years

I'm double majoring in math and physics.
Math because I like it,
Physics because I like it and it goes into a lot of things for graduate school.

>>2943669
>Economics
>most people are hippy communist men

Shit, my respect for the field of economics just went up but a fuckton.

>>2944103

I dont know why I lied so much. I was like double joking.

I dont think there are a bunch of hippy communists in economics. My peers arent a bunch of bankers or anything. Its pretty in the middle, with people mostly feeling that free markets are good, except when they dont work. How often they fail is kind of a matter of opinion.

Im a bit of a hippy myself.

Anyway, sorry for misleading you. But I do think your response was funny.

>>2943669

>implying communism hates money

>>2944124

Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge fan of the free market where it works (e.g. Silicon Valley). I was just always under the impression that economists were spoiled kids of rich right-winged politicians and that economic classes were a circle jerk of Randian bullshit.

neuro major math minor

I like the brain? and math?

>>2944131

I wasnt really implying that. But among my peers growing up there are definitely an amount of people who could be heard uttering something along the lines of...

"Man... I dont know... like... money is just bad... man.. I dont want the money"

>>2944149

Ive only known one randian economist at my university, and he was a cynical old man.

I think there are an amount of business students who are just rich kids who have no soul and got into business just because its an easy choice to. Of the economists who are like that, I dont think they are paying attention enough to even refer to themselves as randian or anything.

But, I dont think they are the majority. I have seen some of the opposite. People who arent really communists, but very good natured, gandhi-like and just want to work to serve society.

>>2944241
>I wasnt really implying that.
>"Man... I dont know... like... money is just bad... man.. I dont want the money"

Pick one.

Art.

>>2944259

Maybe I need to reiterate myself:

I am not saying communists are universally against money. I am saying... among my stupid foolish high school hippy communist stereotype, they are universally against money. I was just hoping that you would acknowledge there stereotype as I have.

CS+CpE double major + Japanese minor
CS because it's what I'm good at.
CpE because it goes well with CS and at my school has enough courses in common where it's easy enough to achieve
Japanese minor because I'm a weeaboo as shit and what Japanese I learned already makes every Japanese class I took so far some of the easiest A's I ever earned. Might as well get another academic credential for stuff I would be learning and doing on my own time anyway. Also it fools some idiots into thinking I'm well-rounded or something.

>>2944275

Where'd you study Econ?

>>2944282

I am still in school.

I study at Arizona State University WP Carey school of business

Mech E with a minor in EE.

I chose it because my school doesn't offer aerospace and I found chemical and civil to be boring. Mechanical is broad enough to where I can do grad school for aerospace and the EE minor covers the most important parts of the major (circuit design).

Plus, I'm far too stupid to do a pure science major.

Doublemajor in maths and physics
Minor in latin and classic greek

>>2944293

I study at UMass Amherst. Im not sure about your school in particular, but a lot of school's Econ programs have been Hijacked into following conservative tenets. IE: Supplyside (Reaganomics) is an actual/valid economy booster/Reduction in civil programs to maintain the efficiency of the working class/Balanced taxes on all members regardless of pay. This kind of shit makes me puke, Im not sure if your school fits into that jargon but I know Columbia and a few others have delineated heavily from what Economics used to be to a corporate tool for scumbag rich people.

Communism doesn't hate money, In fact it embraces it in many ways as it is the primary motivator to WORK, not tell others to work and get paid more for it.

>>2944311

What do you study?

Something I feel weird about is the discrepency between my studies and my personal conversations about economics like on 4chan.

People like to argue, and criticize using terms like neoclassical, or new trade theory, or supply side, or austrian, or keynesian. In none of my classes have we ever used those terms. People might take that as an opportunity to say my education is crap or I go to a stupid school, but I dont. My school is pretty respected.

I mean, Im sure as I progress in my education we will start talking about these things. But I get the impression people ascribe to schools of economic thought, only when they dont actually understand the real fundamental science of economics to begin with.

So, when you say stuff like, economics has been "hijacked" I cant really agree or disagree, because I dont really feel like opinion has entered into my education at all.

>>2944302

Wow, thats cool. Any overlap between your majors and minors?

>>2944336

You really didnt go over the different principles of thought in Macro econ 103? or whatever number... Im an econ major dude.... sorry to cut our conversation though I have to run. Maybe you will sophomore year... perhaps your school is a little diff. Unless you are a res econ major... which is a different philosophy. Anyways gluck.

They are armchair economists and stormfags who pick and choose that kind of terminology to support their view that all blacks and jews should be incinerated or whatever.

>I get the impression people ascribe to schools of economic thought, only when they dont actually understand the real fundamental science of economics to begin with.
Yep.

Economics because I fucking love this shit.

and it pays pretty well.

>>2944362

I am a sophomore now, but in terms of macro economics I havent taken more than the intro class. I am taking the intermediate macro class next semester.

We had a lot of formulas, but we didnt talk about any schools of thought.

Biology. Just find it interesting, no plan in perusing a career in it cuz I'm a pilot.

Math and econ, because econ, history and physics are the subjects that interest me and I'd like to get a job that isn't doing research forever, and my school's econ program is shitty and requires Calc I so to get into a financial engineering program or a PhD program I feel like I need more of a math background. Would add a CS major if I had time.

>>2944406
CS minor*

mechanical engineering. i have no idea why because i don't like it all that much... some aspects are awesome but most seem pretty lame. but... i'm pretty good at it and i've got a good job, so eh.

>>>>2944302

Maths and physics because maths are awesome.
Latin and classic Greek because that's really interesting.

>>2944454

Where do you work / pay / do?

operations research and information engineering. a lot smarter than the average business major, not quite up there with physicists though

Biology/geology double major.
Paleontology, bitches.
