Where should a programmer go: Mehmat vs Faculty of Physics?

Question

IT education

I want to get a fundamental education, but I don't know which one.
According to the idea, I'm going to the fur-mat - I know pure mathematics. I go to the physics department - I know both mathematics and physics.
I lean more towards the physics department, because I want to do hardware programming.

Answer 1

I lean more towards the physics department, because I want to do hardware programming.

Go to biochem since iron is a chemical element

Answer 2

What you will work with is weakly related to the choice of a particular faculty.

Answer 3

IMHO, based on my own experience (3 courses at a technical university behind me and the opinions of friends, including in IT-related specialties) - in all specialties you will be taught everything except what you really need, well, and, at the same time, give disgust to this line of activity.
Let me explain. Programs and training plans outdated and overflowing with useless subjects, disorganization, senile teachers and teachers who simply sit out their hours and do not try to give at least some information useful in cognitive terms, tons of rubbish learned uselessly in a session that has nothing to do with activity at all, for which HOW this direction should prepare.
That is, IMHO, GOING TO THE UNIVERSITY in order to learn programming is not worth it, only self-education. It is quite possible that everything is different in the country's top universities, but I am sure that in cities other than MSC and St. Petersburg everything is approximately the same. And so, in the case of a certain ideal university, if you are not going to go into any IT areas, as a fundamental development, you can go either to Mekhmat, since mathematics develops analytical thinking well, or to some specialty at the Physics Department like "Electronics and Nanoelectronics " for more practical information on your desired line of business.
I do not pretend to be completely objective, I am a student :) and I judge by what I see myself.

Answer 4

I think that after all, mathematics will be more related to programming than physics, although in my opinion physics is more interesting and physical mathematics will be closer to life. The final decision is always yours.
