Maths, maths, and maths :)

I'd already finished a maths major by last semester...

I won't have any until semester 1 3rd year :P

My old post should be ignored because since then I read the handbook and it said level 2/3 units can only count towards one major sequence.

However the lovely faculty of science people told me today I can have 3 majors provided I meet the requirements for them because I am special :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

So yeah, 3 majors and 0 minors for me :P Physics astro maths.

Except maths is dodgy and in order to fit units in I might have to split a year up into 5 units/3 units because everyone loves semester one too much.

how can you do three majors? is this uni melb? they told me you can only do one major :(

I think it's because she did the Science Scholars Program at Monash.

Philosophy with Economics  :smitten:. Although, I had a long conversation with a careers councilor, who said that she didn't think commerce was for me. She thought that I would be more suited to physics and philosophy despite never having done physics before, which I though was rather strange. I'm keen to look into it - anyone have any materials (such as articles/books etc) or ways in which I can determine if I would really enjoy physics? Perhaps there are a few ideas I can read up on which would give me an idea if physics is for me? The extent of my physics reading was a few hours reading about relativity and time dilation which I found fascinating.

If you can get 48 points on a subject you get a major in it. Science Scholars isn't as restrictive as normal Science which means you can fit that much subjects.

She thought that I would be more suited to physics and philosophy despite never having done physics before, which I though was rather strange. I'm keen to look into it - anyone have any materials (such as articles/books etc) or ways in which I can determine if I would really enjoy physics?

For the grand concepts, check out 'The Elegant Universe'  on youtube

A good casual read of cosmology (so I've heard) is 'A brief history of time' by Stephen Hawking, and its sequel, 'The Universe in a Nutshell'

If you want to get into hardcore physics, check out 'Fundamentals of Physics' by Halliday & Resnick, it is a great introduction to undergraduate physics, covering a massive range of physics topics.

Books by Feynman are also an interesting read:
'The Feynman Lectures' - a more advanced 'Fundamentals of Physics', more for reading than studying; probably the quintessential physics book, which you could find in most physicist's bookshelves
'Six Easy Pieces' - a selection of interesting topics from his lectures

There are also some other quite philosophical books like 'Parallel Worlds' and 'Hyperspace' by Michio Kaku, and 'The Holographic Universe' by Michael Talbot
