Advice on what to study Anonymous Mon Dec 10 23:41:46 2018 No.10206181 [DELETED]

How much math would you need to succeed in physics and engineering?
I graduated my german grammar school last summer but don't have the slightest clue what to do with my life.
Physics would be one of the easiest subjects to get in to here germany, but it also has a ludicrous drop out rate. At the nearest uni the numbers were that ~647 students start each year a three year B.S. in physics but only ~68 graduate each year.
The other subjects I have been interested in studying potentially are material science, aerospace engineering, chemistry, environmental engineering, mining engineering, petroleum engineering, chemical engineering, but I don't even know remotely enough about each subject to know settle down on one and hope /sci/ could give me some advice beyond that old chart.

I have also considered medicine, but getting admitted to study medicine here in germany is nearly impossible with a average of even slightly below 4.0, due to way too few places each year considering the amount of applicants unless you want to be put on the waiting list and wait easily mutiple years to get a spot, so the only choice for me left would be to move abroad but I don't even have remotely enough cash to do that unless I want to go to Ukraine or some other shithole in Eastern Europe.

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 11 00:10:41 2018 No.10206223 I'm doing a double major in chemE and math. At least for engineering it isn't too difficult, I'm literally retarded and have a 3.8 gpa

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 11 12:50:58 2018 No.10207108 >>10206223 is your maths major a lot harder than your physics major?

>>	Anonymous Tue Dec 11 14:31:28 2018 No.10207319 >>10206204 This is a good list. At my undergrad we were only required to take diff eq and linear and then everything else was covered in this "math methods in physics" course
