No me. *points at self*

I started as a CSCI then I found out that you only have to take Cal 3 to
be a Math minor. From there a mjor isn't *that* far away. I choose Physics
as my science, so I only needed 6-9 more hours of physics to get a physics
minor. If you are a physics major, they will pretty much taylor a program
to what you are interested in. The one I will participate in will be
something like 'computational physics.' Of course, anyway I cut it, I'm
going to have to get approx 18 hours a semester and probably have to do
about that much one summer. My g/f is a half-year behind me anyway so I
don't mind staying the extra 1/2 semester.

Anyway, I'm at the University of Arkansas, if you were really insterested.

Prove "We are math":
We are biology, Biology is just chemistry, Chemistry is just Physics,
Physics is just math. We are math! (Prepare to be assimilated.)

I'll check the local library.
