How wise is it to double major in Computer Engineering and Applied Mathematics?
>>
>>8150299
I am of the school of thought that double majoring is stupid in general. If you have the extra energy then use it for non-academic but constructive purposes, even if the double majoring only implies doing 1 or 2 more classes per semester.

But assuming that I am wrong then your combo is not good enough. You will likely get all the applied math you need from CE so if you really want to expand your knowledge you would be better off doing CE and pure mathematics.

Applied math degrees that I've seen are...

Double majoring is fucking stupid. You can probably pick up some classes in either field to fill up some general electives, but double majoring prevents you from getting in depth with anything at all.

Yes, absolutely

>is there a practical way
No, not really. I mean you COULD go out of your way to breathe only from scuba tanks whose contents were collected in Cambodia, but...Why would you when the alternative (Just, y'know, breathing like humans normally do) is not only moral and ethical, but less costly and more effective?

>>8153884
No. Only if you apply the same ethnical standards to animals that you have for humans. This is something most vegans seem to randomly do.

You are an omnivore and shouldnt ignore your nature

Males tend to have more testosterone, while females have more estrogen. It all comes down to what's between your legs.

On social media:

> E.g. Some science page on Facebook says that there are plans to mine the moon in an article.

> Middle aged admin assistant from Tennessee: "What if the moon falls out the sky? Why don't scientist think of that, huh?"

> Some smug guy (for some reason usually Indian): "Maybe humans should stop destroying this planet before going mining others"
> Someone points out that no life grows on the moon

Depends on how much do you want to learn. Sometimes he introduces concepts that are not explained in the chapter.
