Shouldn't you marry him before letting his academic interests influence your own?
My first love is physics, and that's because of my own interests. If it were my boyfriend's choice, I would become a mathematician just like him. However, I'm not interested in doing that. I think majoring in...
You make a good point. In my experience, a lot of people have prepared for some of the college introductory courses in high school or on their own. I suppose I could alter my plans a bit by only covering Calculus I and II on my own, studying a first year physics text, and taking AP tests to see...
That's an interesting thought. Perhaps I could major in Physics with a minor in mathematics. At the university my boyfriend is attending, you only need two more courses to create a math minor, and Real Analysis is a requirement in the minor. I haven't decided what university I'd go to, though...
You edited out the part where I blamed myself for my overinquisitive mind. I didn't intend to blame the teachers for me asking too many questions that distract the class. I had some very good teachers in high school and college. If anything, I need to recall and accept the axioms better.
Here's an example that popped right out of my head: Why does 1 + 1 = 2? Apparently that question wasn't answered until the early 20th century by Bertrand Russell, IIRC. Questions like that bother me.
I personally know two math graduate students, but neither of them are local, but I can still contact them with questions. I also know a couple of locals that are undergraduate math majors, so I can reach them as well. As a last resort, there's always the local math tutor for $20 an hour. But...
Long story short: In college, I tried to major in the sciences, but couldn't cut it because of my weak math/logic background. I graduated with a liberal arts degree, but I promised myself that I would teach myself enough math and science to succeed in attaining a bachelor's degree in the...
