CmpFreak88 Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 Well, I'm thinking of pursuing computers when I get older and am in a little rut. I need to pick between Biology and Chemistry and don't know which would help me more. Would it make a difference of which I took? Would either look better going to an IT school.

anthony Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 i dotn htikn biology or chemestry will help you much regarding computers... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderTrax Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 If you take Chemistry, you'll understand what Max Pressure: 3.4mm-H2O means (took that from a list of fan specs on newegg) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy54354 Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 chem also involves thermodynamics so that might help with computer stuff too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newport Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 At least you have that option. At our school, 10th grade you take biology (if you have not tested out for it in 9th) and then in 11th you take chemistry (If you took biology 9th, then chemistry is 10th and physics 11th) lol.

Joost27 Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 well im taking both...but take biology, either one wont help much, but biology is easy well was for me and the concepts are easy to understand too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasterdly Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 At UF, 2 years of chem is required for CS or comp eng. Take chem and go onto chem AP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CmpFreak88 Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 Well, I'm a geek and I'm getting ahead and taking all the advanced classes I took Biology this year and have to either take AP Bio or AP Chem, but I didn't like Biology very much... and looking at the responses I think Chemistry would be the way to go. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split423 Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 I just finished a year of AP Chem it has a lot of hard concepts to grasp and a lot of ideas are thrown around in there it's tough but in most colleges it is required for engineering majors. i had to have it for mechanical engineering (majoring in it this fall at RIT) along with physics (took AP Physics last year). Physics was definitely easier. Take AP Chem! I didnt realize how much i needed it until this year. It's tough but you will need it a lot more than AP Biology. AP courses what are those lol...ive never heard of them..actually we have ap english thats it..i hate small high schools AP=Advanced Placement basically it is like an entry level course in college Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
