Test: check whether Computational Mathematics is the right major for you!

1. Do you enjoy solving abstract mathematical problems and then implementing solutions in code?

2. Are you comfortable working with algorithms and analyzing their performance or accuracy?

3. Do you enjoy numerical methods—approximating solutions when exact answers are impossible?

4. Are you interested in modeling real-world systems (physics, finance, biology) with mathematical tools and simulations?

5. Do you enjoy debugging both mathematical derivations and their software implementations?

6. Are you curious about optimization—finding best or near-best solutions under constraints?

7. Do you enjoy learning new computational tools, libraries, or programming languages to support mathematical work?

8. Are you comfortable interpreting complex results and explaining their implications to others?

9. Do you enjoy problems that require both rigorous proof-style thinking and empirical experimentation?

10. Are you willing to revise models or proofs when new insights or counterexamples appear?

Definitions and quotes

Mathematics
Mathematics (from Greek μάθημα máthēma, "knowledge, study, learning") is the study of such topics as quantity, structure, space, and change. It has no generally accepted definition.
Mathematics
Archimedes will be remembered when Aeschylus is forgotten, because languages die and mathematical ideas do not. "Immortality" may be a silly word, but probably a mathematician has the best chance of whatever it may mean.

Mathematics
A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.

Mathematics
Mathematics is a versatile art; it can be applied to widely different purposes. Math has no morality; it does not care what it counts or what it proves.
