program?

Thank you very much, going to do what you said.

>>4085597
Hmm, thank you for the answer. High school fag here, very interested in math, if it does not bother you, could you recommend a book for me?

What /sci/ think of "Euclid's Elements"? Should I read it? Should I go to another book?

thank you, I think I've made up my mind for mech eng, this has been really helpful. Genuine thanks to everyone ITT. What did you study?

>>4060626
Imperials ranked higher than both for engineering, but no one seems to have heard of it

>>4060608
but cambridge and oxford?

Is imperial college london known of in the USA/globally?

>>4060560
i asked, but i was only able to talk to students, and none had tried/knew of anyone who wanted too.

>>4060549
I have no idea if such a system exists in the uk, but i suppose there's no harm in asking when i get there, and if i cant, i'll just read online?

>>4060523
We dont have a minor system, thats why i enquired. Occasionally you can couple degree's, like science and philosophy, but instead of recieving 2 degree's its like one where you aren't fully taught about either, like doing two half degree's. and this is rare anyway, i cant do a physics, engineering combined course.

>>4060506
Thank you, its helpful just to talk about it, when i try to think about it on my own my head just gets flooded with different ideas

>>4060488
I'm swinging towards mech eng here, the future prospects and broadness do seem more appealing. This may seem a naive question, but do you think i should study mech eng at uni, and study the aspects of physics i enjoy in my own time? How does the major/minor system in america work>

>>4060461
There's more topics in physics that interest me, but more that extremely bore me too, do you think i should take it as i find it the most interesting, or not risk it, as i enjoy mech eng more. its a interesting vs enjoying thing, i'm mesmerised by stuff i learn in physics, but the hands on aspects are uninteresting, in engineering the stuff i read isn't that interesting, but the practicle side is very enjoyable.

>>4060443
I've tried something similar to this, but my choice changes depending on the day. I apologise for being so difficult, its just my future depends on this.

>>4060422
I know this will sound immature, but quantum, atomic structure, thermodynamics. but relativity and electronics bore me, as do waves.

>>4060409
*little.

>>4060393
I have littel tendancy though, i love them both. Do you regret your choice of degree?

>>4060387
yeah, 6th form is just before uni. The problem is, most of the physics that interests me isn't available as mech eng courses..

>>4060361
i guess i should do more research, i just have the problem of having been taught physics before, but never had the chance to take a mech eng lesson.

>>4060326
the % carbon in pig iron compared to integeral strength stuff, thats what seemed boring to me..

>>4060301
That sounds kinda like me, although i do find phsyics more interesting, i cant see myself being anything other than an engineer. Its mainly the tediousness of some of the stuff you learn in mech eng thats putting me off though

>>4060284
which was most enjoyable/interesting?

>>4060241
oh, sorry, just basically means have you done either at uni? have you taken either course?
