<p>Don’t do it; it’s a trap.</p>
<p>Haha, i can’t even think about Ackbar anymore without thinking of the Robot Chicken episode with Admiral Ackbar Cereal…</p>

<p>Wow that’s the real clip?</p>
<p>I saw this one in an SA forum and always thought it was the original. </p>

<p>At the time it did confuse and perplex me but I thought it wasn’t completely out of the norm for Robot Chicken.</p>
<p>haha, yeah. I like the real version so much more.</p>
<p>
My point is that you can take the same student have them double major in physics/engineering and it’s quite possibly that they’d have a higher GPA in physics than engineering.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You should measure hardness on the Moh’s scale; that’s where you’re going wrong.</p>
<p>(I am determined to snark this subject towards its ultimate death.)</p>

- Point taken, but what does a higher GPA mean, except that the grading is done differently? Nothing, that’s what.</p>
<p>“You should measure hardness on the Moh’s scale; that’s where you’re going wrong.”
- That’s what she said.</p>
<p>Haha, is it sad that I lol’ed at aibarr’s comment? The Moh’s scale… you’re killin’ me!!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That <em>is</em> what she said.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This could work to our advantage–aibarr should sabotage pointless trends. I nominate any thread based on the following keywords: harder major, better degree and engineering salary VS X.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I shall do my best.</p>
<p>In case you hadn’t noticed, shah, there have been several of us doing that lately frequently. =)</p>
<p>I am a junior at Texas A&M and I am double majoring in physics and mechanical engineering and getting a minor in math.</p>
<p>From this previous experience, I would definitely say that physics is one of, if not the hardest of college majors.
Throughout the classes that I have taken, I have found that the physics classes are always much faster and more difficult that the engineering and math. They also require a great deal of time to actually sit down and understand the material. </p>
<p>Most people don’t realize that in order to successfully complete a physics degree at a respectable college, you will automatically obtain a math minor. This shows that the physics degree is more difficult than the math.</p>
<p>In regards to mechanical engineering (and engineering in general), it takes a lot of time to do the lab reports and projects but for the most part, everything has been fairly straightforward. This also probably has to deal with the fact that engineering is simply applied physics so if one clearly understands the fundamentals principles guiding systems in an engineering problem, the answer often becomes near trivial. However, in physics, classes such as Advanced classical Electricity and Magnetism and Quantum Mechanics involve tricky mathematics that often result in strange phenomena not easily understood. Because of these strange concepts, physics wins the top spot in my book for difficulty. </p>
<p>Another way to look at this is considering the GPA’s from my different areas of study. My mechanical engineering GPA is a 3.92, my math is a 4.0 and my physics GPA is 3.6. It is clear that the physics is definitely the most difficult.</p>
<p>If you don’t quit picking at it, it’s never going to heal.</p>

<p>I know several people from my alma mater that would destroy you based upon this statement. I’m not sure what your exposure to math is, but I assure you that mathematicians would hate your (unintended) definition of math with difficulty defined by its applications. Have you ever taken a pure math class? No. You haven’t.</p>

<p>You forgot to add the 2.0 in epistemology. 
It seems as though you should be a math major rather than a physicist… since you are clearly so much better at it.</p>
<p>Just curious, what math classes have you taken? Everyone at HMC takes:
Diff Eq’s I & II
MultiV I & II
LinAl I & II
ProbStat</p>
<p>We come away with a healthy respect for even the most “basic” math subjects. The thought of what our math majors end up taking gives me nightmares. Everyone must take the following physics classes:</p>
<p>Intro Special Relativity & Quantum Mech
Classical Mechanics & lab
E&M & lab</p>
<p>We just get a “taste” of physics. By taking these (albeit difficult) required courses, I don’t claim to know how difficult it is to solve a quantumelectrodynamic wave function or the like. But I know there is more there than I am proficient in.</p>
<p>My point is that by “minoring” in a subject, you DO NOT get the full feel for a field. This is especially the case when your minor is tailored to be applicable to your major.</p>
<p>At my alma mater, whatever major you make the hardest is the hardest. Some people slave in advanced classes in General Engineering and some just skate by with the minimums. Many of us don’t drop $200,000 to come out just as na</p>
<p>“If you don’t quit picking at it, it’s never going to heal.”</p>
<p>Oops. I just realized this is on page 27. My bad.</p>
<p>1)ECE
2)Rest of engineering
3)Phys/Math
4)Meds School
5)CS</p>
<p>Engineering incorporates Math, Physics, CS on top of engineering classes themselves. When you get into physical/micro level of electronics you can pretty much get burned. Math/Phys are useless without engineering. Seriously what is a dy/dt without engineering applications? And wth is a complex number without engineering? Wth is Laplace? (wth=what the hell)</p>
<p>it’s the real life application that matters as I could care less of what happens in 10th dimension.</p>
<p>Can we please just stop this or something. Sports management is clearly the most difficult because we’re all smart people and we were all too afraid to major in it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>HEY. Stop that. Stop it! No more serious posting in these threads. Talk about something else.</p>
<p>Computational Mathematics is the hardest undergraduate major.</p>
<p>Why?..No reason, I just wanted to post in this thread and it was my undergrad major.</p>
