About Me!!

Hi javacodeman, and welcome to the forum! Feel free to start a thread about yourself in "Introductions"

Okay:

I stumbled onto this site while I was bored one day and looking for a good game of connect four.  I stayed around (now I'm addicted to Proximity) and checked some of the puzzles and games out.

Re: About Me!!

Nice. What led you to pursue an MS in CS rather than mathematics?

Also in my opinion Proximity is the best game here... although I haven't really played any others since Proximity is addictive enough. Maybe someday I'll post my high score strategies.

That question has a multifaceted answer.  I'll try to be brief.

*   I had to take a CS class for my Math degree and really liked it.
*   I took some graduate level math classes and didn't enjoy them nearly enough to keep pursuing that type of Math.
*   An MS in CS is a very profitable degree in my line of work while an MS in Mathematics isn't.

Re: About Me!!

I kind of had the same issue with physics. I liked physics as a "practical" way to use math. But a lot of the math you do is totally not my thing... nasty integrals, numerical methods, etc. When you do get to the level where there's some nice mathematics, the applicability goes down... string theory class consists of talking about some aspect of the theory then explaining why it's trash. So at this point I don't know what I'm going to do about physics. I'm in heaven with pure math though. I guess I'm content without having immediate application to the real world. Anyway, I understand your second point about getting to an advanced level with something and realizing it's not as enjoyable as you expected.
