    University of Illinois–Urbana-Champaign
   Georgia Institute of Technology
    University of Michigan–Ann Arbor

Post by: Diablo on September 08, 2009, 08:08:29 pm: The best combination for A-Level's would be Math, Chemistry & Physics.

Post by: Diablo on September 09, 2009, 08:42:29 pm: Mechanics can be taken at A-Level Math.

Post by: astarmathsandphysics on September 09, 2009, 09:31:21 pm: Also electronics but i dont think cie do it.

Post by: astarmathsandphysics on September 10, 2009, 04:35:47 pm: Not as far as i know. Maths and physics would be at least as good

Post by: gigabyte89 on September 25, 2009, 02:05:15 pm: I'm doing computer science eng. I did Maths, Physics and computing which is the best combination. Doing mechanics in maths is useless because we don't have it. You well get electronics stuffs, not mechanics in CSE. in almost all university. Doing Stats 2 would be much advantageous.
I will also add.. You must be very good at logic and problem solving if u want to succeed! Rote learning doesn't exist in CSE!
