Question: As a Computer Science Major Should I do Math or Physics as a Second Major?

- I am doing a science/computer science bachelors degree and I have completed the computer science component of the degree as well as a minor in mathematics and (after this semester) a minor in physics. I have enough credit points to complete a major in either math or physics.
I love various areas of computer science, but mostly I love things that are challenging. I love cryptography, algorithm analysis and compiler design (which makes me lean toward math), but I am also very interested in quantum computing (which is more on the physics side) - and which my university has a whole research department.
I don't have much real world experience so I guess I am asking (overall) which will be more helpful in the world of CS.

this video is very helpful. Im in a computer science program now and my university and im also working on a Math degree part time at another university (one class a term) and your advice on knowing the advanced Mathematics is spot on. Its truly helping me understand things and with my internship.
2 majors and 1 minor, that guy is a beast!
Your comment matches with your profile picture.
@@haidarmujib haha true 😅
I want a deep understanding of everything I learn
pagina por favor Exactly! I completely agree with you!
Ok
That's a problem with me too!
And I am using the word problem here because I think this kind of mindset stops me from doing *anything*.
I mean not that I don't do anything but it's just that if I have a book on a topic and looking at the index (or somehow) I feel its not diving into great details I just don't read it.
Keeps me away from so much information.
using namespace std
you don't know how much you helped me.
well, you said a sentence that is kind of out of the topic, which is "if you've done computer eng I would go for physics " which I exactly wanted THANK YOU !!
Honestly, majoring in physics to learn quantum physics is a huge waste. Quantum physics is heavily mathematical, you would only need like 2 physics classes worth of background (electromagnetism on a high level) and the rest is just mathematics. Literally!
Great video. Thanks for the knowledge
Mathematics in low-level programming is essential in dealing
with basic fundamentals such as memory allocation
which is a primary cause of inefficiency.
Hi
I am making computer science major and I want to make a double major with biology or medical analysis is it worth?
What about Computer science and engineering (CSE)?
thank you for the information!
I hope 🥺 please to answer.
What sould i take with computer science? Minor mathematics or major mathematics
I completely agree with you!
The high frequency trading that you are speaking about comes more from a statistical background. I have talked to my GSI who has completed their doctorate in mathematics and told me that after linear algebra, there is really no solid application for the theory that is provided. I completely agree that math is important since you are taught to prove theorems and solidify your logic, but it doesn't seem applicable after a certain threshold.
Harmonic analysis can be used im digital signal processing but that isnt really CS.
how did you do it can you share with me , thank you
Hey what you think about computer science major with a minor in finance?
17 people double majored in Computer Science and Physics
what do you mean
@@bobjones5869 number of people who disliked the video
nice, well done
Why can't you combine physics and computer science to code different kinds of numerical simulations of nature processes?
+Upyrev Vladimir You can, in fact it's practically required.
It called Computational Physics, its a whole field in Physics
i just need a degree so I figured it may as well be something i like to do which is computer science.
What if I went for an integrated computer science/engineering program? What should I go for?
minor in business and major in computer science thats the answer or if you suck at math just get a Art major
101therealest I suck at math and I'm minoring in physics with my CS degree, anyone be good at math because it takes practice
I am surprised this exist!
Like really accurate
I love cryptography, and algorithm structures like you
I also want to learn theoretical physics and quantum physics and astrophysics as it is fascinating
Also quantum computers and quantum physics as well as particle physics is soo interesting
Yo bro I’m in the same boat what did you do
What's the best way to study bio-related major after completing Computer science degree ? Is it worthy to do so ? And is it better to study a bio-related major as a new degree or to study masters after the cs degree.

It’s been 5 years since ur comment. What’s ur job now what do u work at
The simple fact is that no matter if you do math or physics, you are going to do a ton of math. Physics does get into statistical analysis and other fun mathy goodness. Math degree will get into proofs which is interesting but not as much stats (at least that I know of), physics will get into statistical analysis. the stuff he talks about as physics is engineering specific not physics. Think of physics(mathematically) as taking some phenomenon and trying to describe it with math. Physics is often important to game and modeling. It's a way of thinking that can be useful. I don't think this video answered the question accurately so I just felt that should be clarified.
sounds interesting..what about programming?
Wrong, physics gets into calculus and lineair algebra mostly, whereas math also goes into things like complexity, analysis, graph theory and group theory which can be very important in computer science.
@@unh0lys0da16 I'm not sure about everywhere, but from where I am from, you don't really have enough space in a minor to branch too far out of calculus and linear algebra, as those are prerequisite to the rest. I have to take 4 courses in algebra and calculus to even think about doing anything else. That gives me maybe 1 or 2 other courses if I don't want to overload and still graduate on time.
@@unh0lys0da16 as someone who has done a physics degree we covered complex analysis, graph theory, group theory and statistical data analysis in very very high amounts of detail.
@@edz8659 Right, I didn't mean to say physics doesn't go deep into maths, but I do think there's a difference. With analysis I meant the study of the fundamentals of calculus, like proving things about infinite series and how they converge to real numbers and the fundamentals of differentiation and integration on various number systems plus defining and proving things about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on a very fundamental level. Physics also goes very deep into mathematics, but this is only to then be able to apply the mathematics properly, while having a good understanding of / intuition for the mathematics. mathematics is a lot less about the application of maths.
C.S. And Finance dual degree a good idea ?
C.S. with Math is a license to print money. Because you know statistics and programming. I think finance might be useful
wow I'm not alone.... there are tons of ppl wanting to do physics or math and computer science... maybe I'll do bio lol jk... do I want to engineer or math? I'm finishing calc 3 and differential equations before I start community college so I could transfer to a university with my major requirements for computer science or engineering quickly. I always felt like math would be the backbone to my future education :D. so maybe just be a math major, but sounds dry too conceptual and I want to make physical stuff with math or make programs... feel like programs helps engineers make designs and calculations faster. idk but computer science seems very versatile. I haven't even started programming yet. I have to take a summer class to expedite the speed of my learning... chem because I wanted to be engineer before I thought about computer science... hopefully I could still transfer to a UC after one year of community college as a CS major, but I am now thinking adding a second major. Maybe ill stick with majoring in engineering and minor in computer science.... too many options!!!
Ooof dis comment is really old.. bro or sis if you're still there please update on what happened afterwards
Update?
I have done computer engineering from India.But I am more intrested in Physics and mathematics.Is there any chance that I apply for MS in physics or mathematics?
+sarah marshal depend on what you want to do, I wound go for physics because it will relate more to CE than mathematics. If you want to do mathematics, go for applied math.
No
in my university (it's american), physics and math grad schools do accept electrical and computer engineering students ; however they require you to take shitton of undergrad courses and then you can start math graduate courses.
Math is related to every STEM field tbh. Even biology.
How about if I want to play in the NFL? what degree should I get ?
Neuroscience
Finger painting.
Comms?
What's the purpose of having a minor ?
Blood1397violet Generally to provide some more knowledge in a field a student is more interested in besides their major. For example, I may want to get a job as a Mechanical Engineer, but I also want to study literature. I'd major in mechanical engineering and minor in literature.
Don't do that.
Hydrogen Atom what’s wrong with it?
I think this guy goes to UMD, just a guess
what makes this guy an expert?
Word
I'm just gonna major in compsci and get an MBA that way I can basically do anything
i want to make ai and simulations. My role model is rick from rick and morty and i am 18 headed to college in a week. I am going to be a comp engineer but i know jus taking classes will NEVER get me where i want to be.
You should become a physicist and learn how to make an interdimensional portal gun.
You do realize that Rick is a fictional character from an American cartoon?
