I did University of Illinois for computer engineering, which I recommend (they make it a good mix of circuits, programming, and computer theory).

If you're asking about physics specifically, I have to say that the intro physics classes (mechanics and E&M) at Illinois were some of the best-taught and best-run classes I've ever had. From what I've heard, they have auditions among the physics professors for who gets to teach the class. From talking to other engineers, intro physics at other good schools is not as well-taught. I know nothing about the more advanced physics though.

Fair point. I used to be like that too. But a lot of pure math results eventually get applied to physics. It actually makes your job a lot easier. You never have to worry about mathematical issues, but rather just physical issues (which is, of course, what you study). But imagine if all the mathematical tools you used were not well understood. That's why we study pure math, to develop tools that other people use.

A good example is Fourier Series. They are very well understood in a pure mathematics standpoint, so it can be applied carefully.

I wasn't telling it to myself; I was telling it to you. You come off as kind of an asshole. Often times math is discovered before it has an application.

Euler's proved the totient theorem in 1789 when prime number theory had no practical applications. In 1978 RSA was invented. The totient theorem is the basis for RSA which is used in almost every secure transfer of information in the modern world.

Honestly I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in Missouri (I live in-state). It's a pretty small town with not much to do besides drink, study, or do regular cool engineering shit, but that's not so bad from my point of view. We're also famous for our lack of women but I suppose that's to be expected with any engineering school.

You think Missouri is warm? Easily over half of the school year is wet, windy, and cold (<50 F, I'd say). The other half is nice.

Overall, yeah, I like it, but I'm the kind of asocial guy who stays in his room all day anyway.
