Thank you for your understanding.
/r/interdisciplinary is intended to be a place for those involved in or curious about interdisciplinary areas to share and discuss their studies/work, and for inquisitive minds to learn about areas outside standard rigid curriculums/specializations.
So ask away and answer away. Let your curiosity be satisfied on the intrinsic and extrinsic values of interdisciplinary training.

Background
The 20th century was host to the seeming demise of polymaths in the face of the need for specialization due to explosive growth, in the sciences and otherwise. Recent years, however, have seem a surge in interdisciplinary enrichment, from students taking multiple majors to astrophysicists working for hedge funds and pure mathematicians modeling the brain.

Major that combine Math,Physics,Biology,Computer Science,Computational modelling together.
I have interest in Computational Biology, Mathematical Biology, Computational Physics, Mathematical Physics, Computational Math, Structural Biology, Computational Structural Biology. All of the major is completely different but are there any major that have all that major crunched down? Perhaps specialized one. Or should i focus on one major in university and self learn with book investment? Thanks. :/

Applied straightedge and compass in ancient or medieval engineering?
Not sure if this is a questions community, but here goes nothing.
I know that straightedge and compass constructions were central to ancient geometry, and I have also been left with the impression that ancient geometry was in fact central to ancient technology and engineering. How much do we know about practical, hands-on applications in engineering of the kinds of things one can do with a straightedge and compass? I expect such information would be in the domain of the history of mathematics and/or engineering and particularly the ancient and/or medieval period, but I seem to hit a wall finding anything by simple googling. Thanks in advance for your help :)

Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Universities
How is an interdisciplinary university/college (UC Berkeley, University of Washington, etc) different from a regular university/college? What are the benefits and the downsides of attending one? Would you recommend a Business and Computer Science double major to go down this path for their undergraduate degree?
Thank you!
