Any Students??

As far as I know a double major isn't a double honours. I'd do all the work for CS since that's the main degree, and all the spare credits I have would go into maths courses.
Someone could clarify that for me if I'm wrong, but that's how I think it is.
Both subjects mesh well together so it shouldn't be too bad.

on my second year studying Artificial intelligence and cybernetics at reading university.
now that ive got a half decent base of programming, and have slept through the completely unneccessary maths lectures i'm getting into interesting stuff like neural networks.
to whoever said their biology exam was in a few days, the biggest tip i can give you is to include the words enzyme substrate complex in every question to do with enzymes (unless its impossible). 99% of the time you will get a mark for it

Yeah, you have to pick something to fill the gaps at Aberdeen anyway. I figured I might as well as make it something worthwhile like Maths instead of Philosophy, since I'll assume companies will still see the double major as a great thing, and won't just look only at the honours.
My other choice, engineering, would be just as hard anyway.
I'm doing a HND in Manufacturing Engineering, and finish in June. I hope to get degree sponsorship from my employer somewhen in the not too distant future after completing it.
I'm studying at Central Sussex College, Crawley.

Hopefully banking or similar financial mathematics
It's more of a challenge for me than calculus, as I have to think a lot harder! I don't think I could do a job for my whole life that was easy.
What engineering would you consider? You should really find out what you like, theory or applied theory. That is really the biggest difference between maths/physics and engineering.

BA in political science
When did you move there? Sounds like quite a change!
I've always thought picking other modules would be pretty cool, we've had them set almost in stone since the very beginning, I've only had one choice and that was this year
Or you know, take extra credits like I do
did about 90/60 maths first year, 70/80 last year. This year I'm doing 36 maths 15 CS, 12 BS, 82.5 physics Hopefully banking or similar financial mathematics

I've given up on the banking route, my friends who interned during the summers made it sound like one of the most boring jobs around. One even turned down a full time position at deutsche...
Unless you have a masters/phd in financial maths, you won't be doing anything remotely complicated .
Probably EE or Mech.
Honestly, I probably prefer theory. I'm always reading up on physics theory and the like and can kill hours on wikipedia doing so. I just don't think I have the mettle for doing it as a full course at uni.

Haha, I just figured I might as well as pick something worthwhile, even if it's not as fun.
