1) what branch of science is most interesting to you, personally?

2) does its perceived difficulty by other students affect your interest in it?

[Anonymous No.4408924]

>>4408917
Evolution, energy policy, and fundamental physics.

>2) does its perceived difficulty by other students affect your interest in it?
Sadly, I'm just an amateur. I do the best self education I can.

[Anonymous No.4408944]

geology, specifically geophysics

not in the slightest. I'll have the final laugh when I can call myself a motherfucking volcanologist.

[Anonymous No.4408950]

1) Sociology

2) It's probably the softest science known to man, so no.

[Anonymous No.4408961]

1. High-energy particle physics
2. Not at all. It's more engaging than any boyfriend I could possibly have.

[Anonymous No.4408999]

1. Computer science.
2. No, I just 'get it'. What's really fucking me over is the math requirement at Purdue.

>1) what branch of science is most interesting to you, personally?
I'm highly interested in mathematics, physics and CS.

>2) does its perceived difficulty by other students affect your interest in it?
I am pathetic enough to admit that feeling superior to others is an important aspect for me.

Computational theory

No. Discovering some universal law about how problems can be solved or how intelligence emerges is amazing. Just think, some alien on some other planet a billion light years away must come to the same conclusion because he lives in the same universe.

The only hard science I'm interested in is Biology.
It's pretty hard, but it's fulfilling.

There's nothing to get. CS is almost as bad as biology.

[Anonymous No.4410762]

1) Mechanical engineering - Physics, space, energy, automation

2) No.

[Anonymous No.4410772]

Solid State physics

No, because no matter what they say I know I cant do it, because im struggling with it right now.

I know i can* do it

[Anonymous No.4410782]

I studied mathematics two semester, but I changed to CS, because it seemed more interesting. Now I'm thinking about changing to eletrical engineering, because this stuff is awesome...

btt: I'm interested in all kind of science. If I had to choose, mainly Astronomy, Physics and CS

[Anonymous No.4410788]

1) Mathematics

2) Yes. And that'll be the reason I obtain a PhD (the money too, of course).

I sometimes wish I was a little less narcissistic and superficial, but I guess I was just born that way. Everything I do, I do it to dominate others

Thanks for posting that picture, OP, I'd been looking for it

[Anonymous No.4410796]

>1) what branch of science is most interesting to you, personally?
any area of physics/maths/chem

>2) does its perceived difficulty by other students affect your interest in it?
No, i would still be interested regardless of its perceived difficulty. people piss me off when they say its shit just because its hard though

[Anonymous No.4410797]

1. I like chem at the level that it overlaps with physics. Something about being able to watch a reaction occur and feel its physical properties is pretty cool imo.

2. no, i'm not really sure why so many physicsfags are so obnoxious. my guess a lot of them pursue physics to prove to others how smart they are. lol virgins.

[Anonymous No.4410799]

1) Biology

2) nope

[Anonymous No.4410800]

Computer Science, it started off pretty easy but it's quite challenging now. Other people seem to regard it the way they regard physics, math, or engineering.

[Anonymous No.4410823]

He said branch of science, math is not science. retardsddddadsdadasdas

>implying I give a shit about how plebs like you define science

[Anonymous No.4410834]

1. physics. well, econ, if you count econ as a science, but i dont.
2. nah i have no academic respect for people who cant do math and theyre the only ones who think physics is hard. however the reason i am not just an economics major is it is not a science and i dont want to group myself with fucktarded business majors.

[Anonymous No.4410852]

1) Right now biology, sort of.

2) This is interesting because before visiting 4chan/sci i really didnt care one way or the other, but once i saw retards 1-999 all spamming >biology >hard science etc, it got me thinking that what i was really interested in wasnt so much the study of life, but rather the study of what makes life possible.

So now i am leaning more towards molecular biology and biochemistry.

Also taking courses on ecology/evolution etc that were 120% straight memorization of retarded shit and 999% common sense made me realise that i dont care about courses like that, and that i prefer understanding the theory behind everything, rather than the observation of that theory.

[Anonymous No.4410861]

1. ChemE - thermodynamics, chemical processes, mass transfer, hydraulics, etc.

2. Fuck no

[Anonymous No.4410864]

What started to irritate me with biology courses is that they cover so many interesting things, but they NEVER FUCKING EXPLAIN ANYTHING. Shits like a fucking checklist of things to memorize. I DONT CARE ABOUT MEMORIZING, I WANT TO UNDERSTAND.

i feel like i am in fucking grade school:
HEY GUISE DO U KNO WHY THE SKY IS BLUE?
omg why?????
CUZ RADIATION FROM THE -- *DING DING DING* -- LOL RECESS TIME CYA LATER.
noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

[Anonymous No.4410913]

>>4410864 RECESS TIME

Sucks to be in elementary school doesn't it.

And blue sky because radiation encased in biology? Something is amiss.

1. Chemistry

2. Yes - I feel that physics students look down on me :(
