Engineering combines maths and science to solve real-world problems, so studying maths, physics, chemistry and computing at school will all be useful when applying for an engineering degree at university. Study social science subjects at school to learn about the human side of engineering challenges.

I started studying chemistry because it seemed like something I would be able to get a job in. I soon realised I was more interested in biology because you can see the systems you are working with, so I switched degrees. I began my career in the technical side of GIS, but I have been wooed to the social sciences.

We know the ones that correspond to “known science”. Solving Equations with AI In traditional mathematical science the typical setup is: here are some equations for a system; solve them to find out how the system behaves. So why does this work? Probably it’s because neural nets capture the architectural essence of actual brains.

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. As a practical matter, thermodynamics in its basic equilibrium form nevertheless became very widely used in engineering and in chemistry.

In 2015 Ed told me a nice story about his time at Caltech: In 1952–53, I was a student in Linus Pauling’s class where he lectured Freshman Chemistry at Caltech. Part of the motivation came from watching Joyce struggle with a Harvard course on Chemistry, where a lot of the homework involved units conversions.
