>Those physics classes will teach you to think about problems abstractly
So do the classes on computer science and algorithms. The reason universities choose to teach those things using physics classes instead of logic class or algorithms class are just historical accidents.

You can get that for almost free at a bookstore or a library.
- brodawg 11y agoYes, the traditional courses do teach you that as well - to some extent - but the point is it's important to see how different fields do it. I think my classes in algorithms are as useful to my research in physics as my classes in physics are to my research in algorithms.
