/sci/ - Science & Math

Occasional reminder not to work with people who aren't mathematicians or physicists.

> There are no good Math teachers because if you are good at math you either go work for NASA doing research or you go into Finance and make a lot of money. If you stay in Academia you weren't good enough for the Government or Finance

Honestly just want to work with data analysis, machine learning, algorithms and such. Especially interested in the financial markets e.g. algorithmic trading but I also find the theories behind self-driving technology and simulations interesting.

Honestly I find software engineering such as creating operating systems and UI's very boring. Programming in or itself is not attractive only the computer science theories and applications that surround it.

If I do decide to study a Bsc. In CS I will very likely also do a Msc. as it is standard in my country but the area of study is free to pick so I don't have to study a Msc. In CS but can choose computational mathematics or something similar.

Furthermore I plan on taking some math classes on the side as I enjoy it and might even do another Bsc. in mathematical statistics in parallel to CS.

Mods don't delete this is clearly related to science.

I like this guys personality. I have no clue what he did or the implications of it but he talks with a very realistic attitude and knows how to manage what he's got.
