I'm a maths/chem/physics type of person as well, and so doing Chem Eng was a pretty logical choice, since it fuses all these disciplines together.



 and maths never ceases to make me wonder how a simple set of rules can produce such complicated outcomes.

The common facet of my thirst for these fields (including physics) is an appreciation of understanding how fundamental forces can build the world.


hmm my weather lecturer was telling us how they put alot of complicated physical and maths equations into some super computer that then runs for like 12 hours and simulates for like the next week and it comes with a weather forecast... pretty cool i reckon...lolz  that is maths equation= weather forecast.....

Good to also see someone interested in the weather :). I was going to do a major in atmospheric science as part of my science degree, but changed majors to maths after realising the 2nd year weather and climate subject was being taught in a pretty crap way. But I still might consider doing an honours year in this field once I finish my double degree.



 My sister was planning to major in enviro sci and chemistry, but is now doing maths, physics, chem and philosophy for breadth. She changed her mind after an Ahmad-like eulogy from my Dad about how good maths was ;)

 edit: sorry, I meant Ahmad_iepiplusone

I like mine. Lets me do less icky first year subjects and more proper 2nd/3rd year subjects :smitten:. Like next semester I have
    * ASP2062: Introduction to astrophysics
    * MTH2010: Multivariable calculus
    * MTH2032: Differential equations with modelling
    * PHS1022: Physics

where the first digit corresponds to first/2nd/3rd year. Silly physics being prereq/sleeping subject

Although I assume by 3rd year I'm going to be like 'borrrrrrrrrrrrringggggggggggggggggggg' again. I don't know. I can't see into the future very well at all.
(You should ignore the fact I stuffed up my 2nd year subject exam this semester)
wow, my friend who's a second year dean's scholar student at monash did pretty much exactly the same subjects. i think he did an algebra/number theory course instead of physics though - he's a maths major like me.
