At my university there are only a handful of people studying mathematics (literally). I now do not consider other courses containing a few math modules, I mean majoring in it.
So now I ask myself why? Are people scared, afraid? Do they have other plans? (That’s a good solid reason). Do they think they’re to dumb? (That’s just plain dumb, no pun intended.)
I always get the “WOW”-effect. Some people immediately place you outside the ‘normal’ students. Now what I want to know is where exactly are we put? And why?
An elite, not to-be-touched-and-get-into-conversation-with group?
Or an outcast, not to-be-touched-and-get-into-conversation-with group?
Neither sounds any good.
Why is different wrong in some people’s minds?
Go with the flow? I don’t think so.
Upstream is where all the gold is.
Now don’t get me wrong here, I don’t judge anyone by what they’re studying or by their career, all I’m asking is why I, as Applied Mathematics student, are often seen in a different light than others?
