Cs is a meme degree lmao cs brainlets

It's just undergrad banter/retardation. Most people here haven't even graduated.

Dropped.

I have a BSc in physics and I know most of this stuff just by fucking around with computers. I don't see how anyone should waste their time with doing a degree learning what anyone could do in their spare time. Literal code monkey degree, kek. The only reason why CS has become popular in recent years is because companies want more people to choose from so they can lower wages. Don't even get me started on the whole deluded silicon valley startup meme.

Kinda funny how physicists are better mathematicians than the mathematicians

This is true in so many ways.

> Working in the industry
I'd rather make way less and do research. Nobody will be shoving java down my throat, while I remake shitty accounting software for winblows.

If you're a computer literature math/physics major you'll already know most of the math and possibly the basics of a programming language. The only thing they would need to focus on is the CS stuff. Algo/DS wouldn't be difficult coming from a mathematical background. And from there they could pretty much go straight to AI.

> Better at elementary algebra and a bit of geometry
I Didn't know that using the quadratic equation made you a mathematician.

Go read how Pierre Deligne accepts that physicists are better that him at math in his abel's prize interview

Site is down. What did he say?

In yet another direction, physicists regularly come up with unexpected conjectures, most often using completely illegal tools. But, so far, whenever they have made a prediction, for instance a numerical prediction on the number of curves with certain properties on some surface—and these are big numbers, in the millions perhaps—they were right! Sometimes previous computations by mathematicians were not in accordance with what the physicists were predicting, but the physicists were right. They have put their fingers on something really interesting, but we are, so far, unable to capture their intuition. Sometimes they make a prediction, and we work out a very clumsy proof without real understanding. That is not how it should be. In one of the seminar programs that we had with the physicists at IAS, my wish was not to have to rely on Ed Witten but instead to be able to make conjectures myself. I failed! I did not understand enough of their picture to be able to do that, so I still have to rely on Witten to tell me what should be interesting.

I bet physicists have a better intuition for mathematics, especially geometry. For instance, they can say why some gauss-bonnet theorem is correct much better than mathematicians from so many points of view, but mathematicians could only shrug and use unintuitive / uncertain arguments.

>tfw this is true

>I bet physicists have a better intuition for mathematics, especially geometry

I've never seen a physics course include anything about euclidean geometry. The actual rigorous proof based geometry. At my university they do take analytic geometry but that barely counts. It is basically elementary algebra.

That being said, how can someone have intuition for something they don't even know?
