I'm an undergraduate majoring in cognitive science (combining the study of artificial intelligence, psychology, and philosophy), focusing on the computational mind, and minoring in game programming--and have transitioned through four previous majors: physics, computer science (and business), mathematics (and economics), and then computational neuroscience. Post-graduation, I'd like to begin my career as a software engineer before eventually transitioning back into academia, setting off on the long road to getting my Ph.D.
I'm very interested in the nature of randomness in the universe and anticipate attaining masters degrees in mathematical finance/financial engineering, studying stochastic processes as they relate to financial markets, and perhaps also electrical engineering, studying the physical basis for the computational technologies that I have been engineering with since the age of 13.
In high school, I took two years of AP Physics along with BC Calculus, self-studied AP Computer Science A, and also thoroughly enjoyed both levels of AP English. My highest SAT category was writing--nearly perfect at a 780--though I applied to all of my colleges as a physics major--I remember those foregone times fondly).
After these masters degrees, after I've taken the time to understand this more qualitative side of things, I'd like to finally get my Ph.D. in some sort of Physics or Applied Science--something huge on abstraction and computation and quantum theory.
Steven Weinberg once said that there were two types of physicists--the sage and the magician:
- The authors of physics textbooks are usually compelled to redo the work of the magicians so that they seem like sages; otherwise no reader would understand the physics. Planck was a magician in inventing his 1900 theory of heat radiation, and Einstein was playing the part of a magician when he proposed the idea of the photon in 1905. It is usually not difficult to understand the papers of the sage-physicists, but papers of magician-physicists are often incomprehensible. In this sense, Heisenberg’s 1925 paper was pure magic.
There is also, however commonly neglected, a third category of physicist that often goes unmentioned--namely, the poet-physicist, as the good Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, Dr. Wolfgang Pauli, Dr. Albert Einstein. And especially Dr. Erwin Schrodinger.
Now, are you a Wu Li Master?
