Studying both CS and physics at uni

If i study Computer Science at university, is ir realistic to think that I can also buy physics textbooks and study by myself and reach the same level of a student that did physics at uni?

nice. you get two bastardized versions of linear algebra.

Only if you're willing to invest a shit load of time into it.

>math
real analysis
complex analysis
functional analysis
linear algebra
single variable, multi variable calculus
differential equations
vector calculus
statistics
(these usually take half/a whole semester each)

>theoretical physics
newtonian mechanics
analytic mechanics
electrodynamics
quantum mechanics
statistical mechanics (classical & QM) and thermodynamics
(each of these usually take a semester)

>experimental physics (these have a more practical, less theoretic approach)
introduction to experimental physics (mechanics / energy / relativity)
electromagnetism
thermodynamics
optics
quantum physics
atomic & molecular physics
particle & astro physics
condensed matter physics
(these take half or a whole semester)

You'd probably be better off dual majoring if you can take it or just doing a Bsc. after your Bsc. CS (I know people who've done this). But you probably won't anyway.

No. You’re better to study physics and learn CS on your own.

tome is a limiting factor, so no.

Can't wait to see you get completely crushed by the first filter courses

Physics is a full-time subject. And so is Computer Science. I graduated in physics and let me tell you that once you get past the basic stuff and get into electromagnetism, lagrangian/hamiltonian mechanics, quantum mechanics and more specialized fields such as general relativity, particle physics etc it becomes incredibly overwhelming. I don’t see how you could pull it off while also taking computer science. If anyone didn’t spend countless nights sleep deprived cramming for an exam then they went to a shit school with overinflated gradings. I still remember to this day all those ridiculous electric field integrations.

Exactly, there’s a reason why it takes you around 4-5 years to understand these subjects. It’s a lot of information. If you consider one book per subject and each book to be roughly 500 pages long and if you also consider you’d be doing all the practice exercises in every chapter instead of just passively reading throughout then you can see how it adds up. Now, if you’re just passively reading the books and not being subjected to evaluation by an independent party (your teacher) then yeah it’s “easy” and it will all come down to your own will power to fish everything.

Don’t pay for a CS degree unless you’re doing CS-Math at a T-20 and going to grad school for TCS. Everything you need to know you can teach yourself. Your projects and connections matter more than anything else.

Yes it is is.

If you can get through the Feynman lectures on physics series (4 vols) then you have what you need.

You will miss important labs.

But upper level books/course material will be easy for you.

Basic linear algebra is a must.
Abstract algebra a is a plus.

I might consider doing a teaching session for you anons.

This is my first time here on this particular board.
But I like it

You could do this if you had no time restrictions, but if you are already studying CS, you probably don't have time to study physics thoroughly. You could get a decent working knowledge of physics though
