<p>I was just wondering if there’s a consensus on which major is harder/more quantitative? How much math is in physics? Is it like economics, where advanced economics is basically math?</p>
<p>Speaking as someone who has never gone to the U or ever been within 1000 miles of Chicago (which means I’m an internet expert), it depends…</p>
<p>Hows that for ambiguous? Anyways, I would suggest opening up a copy of Spivak’s Calculus. No, not chapter 10; the introduction, chapter 1. Where he reviews addition with you. Now try the first problem…</p>
<p>You will see that math, at the level that University of Chicago teaches it at, is profoundly difficult and challenging, and nothing like what most see in high school.</p>
<p>I haven’t tried any of the textbooks from the Chicago physics curriculum but at the University of Washington, which has a great physics education program, physics is pretty darn hard too.</p>
<p>I think it depends on the person.</p>
