Majoring an mathematics was never a consideration, however, so my hat's of to you there, Jon! What I liked best about chemistry is its mix of the quantitative (mass, density, gas laws, melting and freezing points, physical and electrochemistry, analytical chemistry) and the qualitative (synthesis, properties of compounds, predicting chemical reactions). BOTH are necessary. Also IMHO a far better preparation for medicine than Biology - Medicine in actual practice bears very little relationship to general biology, odd as that may seem!Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-24614954134779010352015-11-13T10:19:46.374-05:002015-11-13T10:19:46.374-05:00Well, I considered physics too but settled for mat...Well, I considered physics too but settled for math!Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-46794042935208342452015-11-13T07:04:49.598-05:002015-11-13T07:04:49.598-05:00Well, I did seriously consider majoring in Physics...Well, I did seriously consider majoring in Physics, but settled for Chemistry instead.
