    Can a Math major work in Computer Science?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2018 11:19 AM PST

    Hello, I am currently finishing my third year doing a major in applied math and statistics. I have done classes in PDE's, Linear and none-linear programming, regression, probability, stochastic processes, time series, just to name a few. I only know how to use R(lots) and Python(1 class) because thats all we used. I am finding it harder then I thought to find work as an actuary now so I'm considering doing computer science. Several of my friend in CS and software engineer all found co-ops and jobs right out of uni paying 80k+ yearly, even the ones with bad grades. I could finish a CS degree in an extra year but then I'd be doing a 6 year undergraduate and have 3 majors. I kinda want to avoid that. Can anyone give me some advice on what to do? Is it possible I do 2 or 3 really important classes in Uni, "the ones I couldnt learn outside of school", and do the rest online or on the job? Or is it best I take the extra year? I even considered doing a master in CS but that would also take me an extra semester to get the pre-recs done for it, and then I might as well do the entire major then in 2 semesters. I tried self learning through EdX but I found there wasnt much structure, and without any background its hard to know where to start. Sorry the post is kinda long. I dont know if it matters but I go to the University of British Colubia. Its a pretty decent school and I have about an 80% average.

    Suggestions for dissertation topic in comp sci?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2018 05:51 PM PST

    My friend in comp sci is struggling to come up with anything for his BSC disseration, and he has to propose his idea in a few days. The problem seems to be that every topic that feels "relevant" or "interesting" has already been explored in great detail. I have a lot of programming knowledge myself and I'm lost for ideas too. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated very much, thank you all!

    From IPv4 to IPv6 - what made?

    Posted: 09 Jan 2018 06:36 PM PST

    IPv6 does away with some of the fields in the IPv4 header (version, header length, total length, identification, fragment offset, TTL, protocol and the checksum).

    Can someone explain to me why were they removed in a coherent manner and I'd rather skip on silly observations like "just cause they are redundant" - I want to learn why
