>>8 Thank you for responding. I should clarify that I am currently in my 2nd year at a very small university. I'm sort of afraid of the horror stories that all I could graduate with is calc series, linear algebra, and random math classes not taught in depth to be useful. I just hope that I don't fall badly behind in terms of math stuff because there isn't really a general itinerary for classes across undergrads. I've done/currently doing the Calc series, linear algebra, a statistics class, and numerical and complex analysis. The file is the stupid project I did for a linear algebra class. Didn't know what else to post. My mathematics degree at my university is strange (they call it BsC in mathematics (general)), and I'm considering switching to something their other mathematics degree (Computational Mathematics), but I'm afraid I'd end up fragging myself with the workload of mathematics, CS, and physics. >numerical methods/CS I currently am taking a numerical analysis class. I enjoy the various methods introduced, bisection, newton's, secant, etc. It's fun and one of my favorite classes so far. I am also taking an intro CS class and it's pretty easy since I had to do a lot of while loops/simulations in my physics labs I took before. >computational statistics/ machine learning I had a regular good ol' statistics class, but those aren't offered. We don't really get to choose classes due to how small the school is. >I am not sure what "analyism" is. Honestly, neither am I. I just see that term thrown around when I'm looking for internships. Data analysts, mostly. >Talk to your professors. Talk to any postdocs at your uni. Talk to your advisor. All pretty much dead ends. Both mathematics professors at our uni are tenured, and one is even the dean. They don't really offer anything. >cold emailing the people who do things even just vaguely related to that Does that seriously work? I've considered it but I have no idea how something like that would work. Seems like a long shot. >some serious physics/ engineering/ computer science I'm doing a very small, inconsequential physics project for my physics class about muon lifetime, but it doesn't seem important or very advanced in my opinion. I'm probably going to use it as a writing sample. >You're doing this for literally anything you apply to btw. Well, I should have actually gone to one instead of staying in my hometown. Oh well, mistakes were made. >apply for software engineering I'd think that a CS major would beat me in everything related to this, even if I had a little bit of CS under my belt. I don't have any major projects that are CS-related, nor do I have much experience with actual scripting outside of basic programs.
