Computer Science vs Other Categories of Science


Protein

Recommended Posts

I know that I'm definitely interested in science but I don't can't narrow it down to an exact category of science that I want to study. I've been interested in computer science and astronomy my whole life. I've got good math and science skills so I'm not really limited to what I would want to study. I know that astronomy is a wide field that can encompass computer science majors but that's not really the part of astronomy I'm interested in.

 

Do computer science majors/jobs use a lot of advanced math such as physics and calculus used in astronomy? There's also dilemmas such as which one does the world need more right now? Astronomers or computer scientists?

 

I don't really know where I'm going with this post. I'm just looking for advice I guess.

I feel like the best use of your time would be study the quantitative or computation tools to which you can apply to solve problems in "real" areas. You can always pick up the details in non-major elective classes or research papers when you trying to solve these problems.

 

I didn't take this advice in undergrad and now i'm kicking myself.
