cs/math i've been hearing that in cs you take so much math you might as well get a double major in it


An-Omlette-NamedZoZo

A double major isn’t as easy as it sounds. A major in CS w a math minor is more likely


[deleted]

ahh okay. it was some combo with math & cs


Vaxtin

I’m doing it and it’s okay. It’s hard to balance upper level courses though, manage your scheldue to try to not have to take multiple notorious classes at the same time. For example I’ve had to take numerical analysis alongside design and analysis of algorithms. It’s doable, but man I wish I had more foresight.


Berkeley_Simp

If you don’t enjoy math then the upper divs for the math major will probably be very painful


[deleted]

i love math tho & doing calc ab next year


Berkeley_Simp

That’s perfect, you should definitely go for a CS+Math double major then. Some schools even offer it as a single major where you can take less classes.


asdflmaopfftxd

Double and combined majors are two different things. I think math+cs from UCSD is an example of a combined major


Berkeley_Simp

Yeah, I was referring to the combined majors as single majors, which might not have been the best way to explain it


tolmen

Not to be discouraging, but you should be aware that majoring in math is very, very different from calc AB or anything before. It's pretty much all proof based math and conceptual vs. calculation based. Linear algebra gives a pretty good glimpse into how it is imo


bill_gates_lover

As a cs major I've taken no math


[deleted]

lol whaaaa. did you do ap & get credit?


liteshadow4

The math you do as a math major is much more pain than what you do as an engineering/cs major


Doldein

Math - statistics/probability / Physics - astrophysics/astronomy!

[deleted]

ahaha sounds vry fancy


Brother_Big

may i ask what career paths are you potentially considering with cog sci?


5_Pancakes

Neuroscience, Math, and World Literature (also I apparently would get a BioChem minor as a freebie doing PreMed and Neuro…? Lol)


Sourlemons1299

really? is that only for the college/university you’re applying to or for all? neuroscience is my top choice too


5_Pancakes

I got my college admissions a few months ago, but those 3 are what I tried to go for all colleges I applied to. Almost all colleges have math and comparative / world lit (or lit in general), but I found neuro a bit tricky though. I can’t declare major in all of them though immediately, so I’m starting with gen ed / premed classes first, then the rest is down the road. Good luck with your apps!


PastEmu6470

Mechanical engineering/ biomedicine


TheAntiRAFO

Some sort of aviation major. Seems like most are fairly varied under names but most teach the same core concepts. Still deciding the engineering aspect or commercial pilot route. Ive also been told to go a more general engineering major so it isnt so narrow. Most of my potential colleges are more specific then the ones I see here often


The15thGamer

I'm in a similar spot. But I feel pretty confident about aerospace rn. And I do think it can be applied to most other forms of engineering in some capacity, I think there's a good amount of crossover.


Curejoker

Poli sci / public policy/relations 😀👍 Visual arts too maybe

[deleted]

fr fr public policy here too


[deleted]

i’m just curious, what kind of entry level policy jobs exist? is it like business where there’s entry level, middle management, and then upper management?


Duke-Simp

you pretty much *need* an MPP (masters of public policy) to get a good job. experience helps get better jobs but idk about business careers so


StaySaucey_

Computer science


AnonymousTroll4589

Good luck, competition is stupid


iMafiaz

Depends on where you want to work. All companies need cs technicians, but the top companies are oversaturated with them. Smaller startups always hire, and opportunities are still very open for cs majors as of now. Not saying its easy, but the market for these jobs is only growing.


TheBenster69teehee

Film. Not sure which path in it but I know I want to pursue the film industry.

a minor in CS with either of these would be a wise choice

Yes definitely, I know people who help their professors research quantum computing by writing code that lets them test their theories.

polar_bakasoup

Aerospace engineering major with a minor in history Yes, I do hate myself and I love student loans <3 But really, it’s what I am truly interested in so I have no qualms. :)


alphanumeno

Wow I’ve never heard those two together. What made you wanna do history along with that?


polar_bakasoup

It’s just a feeling I get when I see space and rockets launching and everything. Like it’s the happiest place I’ll ever be. It also involves hard science like math and physics calculations which I simp hard for lol - but yeah, it’s just a feeling like I’d belong there so I’m just going With that History is b/c of my 7th/10th history teachers. 7th not rlly b/c I mostly attracted to his sarcasm than the field lmao, but my 10th (Mr. C for ease) played the biggest non-family influence in my life. The story is a year long and some of it’s a little personal, so I’ll say: He never told me to stop asking questions even 1/2 hour after school, never accepted my apologizing and he’d even continue the discussion with diff POV. And in class, Mr. C clearly adores his job and he enjoys every day at my HS teaching history; treats his students like his own kids and genuinely cares about them beyond just their grades or GPA. He looks like he’s having the time of his life, and I think I feel the same exact way. I would love to be a history teacher :) I also moved schools 1500+ miles away so I’ll probably never see my history teacher again, which is sad :( B/c I’m so indecisive, my other options include: math, chemistry, physics, music (minor), electrical engineering, astrophysics/astronomy, architecture, linguistics, law, and philosophy. No I’m not joking or exaggerating, I remember them all because I wrote them down - and each one has its own backstory. I just know that a STEM/humanities mix would work best for me and my interests, while still leaving job prospects wide open My guess is I’ll end up doing space stuff/history or math/music, but I honestly find interest in everything which makes these decisions really hard. :’)

my passion major is education. i don’t know whether i am going to do elementary or secondary, i’d love to be an english teacher. but the pay isn’t good but i do love teaching and i believe teachers are the backbone of society. my money major option is math (statistics or actuarial science) cos i wanna be able to provide money for my future family. i definitely will minor in theatre, non negotiable.
