I did most of a physics degree and applied mathematics, as well as some elec engineering subjects, and doing my honours in computer science now, <BR/>Physics is fun.<BR/>What holds above for a physics degree holds for a E&E engineering degree too. Both similar in the limit. <BR/><BR/>That genetic algorithm link you provided looks like some work that's done in a 3rd year applied mathematics course (http://dip.sun.ac.za).<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952876501331659855.post-2206304133339648312007-08-30T18:25:00.000+02:002007-08-30T18:25:00.000+02:00Convincing is acceptable when one is completely in...Convincing is acceptable when one is completely informed of all decisions.

I will probably end up with a career in computers anyway, since it looks more appealing than what Physics has to offer. But I personally find studying Physics is much more fun.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, what is wrong with propaganda? Convincing people to do honours can't be a bad thing, can it?Migaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08709855192148400862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952876501331659855.post-4468242513866550372007-08-27T10:25:00.000+02:002007-08-27T10:25:00.000+02:00How to respond on a public site?

Yes, you do get other modules which also require silly essays. I dodged them for the most part, but the curiosity of Facebook and Hussein lecturing and knowing I could drop it at any time made me go for it.<BR/><BR/>Don't take it as propaganda. Just wanted to clear that up for anyone else that you can dodge the crap. I've done it fairly well by taking almost all the modules and dropping the ones that look ugly. Just look at the bottom of <A HREF="http://people.cs.uct.ac.za/~mgallott/studies/" REL="nofollow">this page</A> to see the list I started, but later dropped.<BR/><BR/>I must stop this now. It's probably sounding like propaganda, which was not my idea. Go with your gut feeling. That splur above was for others passing by.<BR/><BR/>Since such a small effort has convinced you one way, I'm wondering whether I should do this for other modules? Depends on if there's a response here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09634973425351931784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952876501331659855.post-39260248531179773512007-08-26T22:56:00.000+02:002007-08-26T22:56:00.000+02:00I would like to thank you.

I have known for a while now that I do not want to do honours in Computer Science, but looking at your essay has reassured me that I am making the right decision by choosing Physics.Migaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08709855192148400862noreply@blogger.com
