    In your opinion, will a CompSci double degree make me more employable in ElecEng?

    Please post opinions. I'm in first year second semester, and I'm on the co-op so adding CompSci to my Elec Eng degree will probably mean overloading by one course each semester. If you answered yes, do you think it's worth it? Thanks!

    Algebraic Manipulation

    This seems ridiculously simple and I feel like an idiot for asking it. I may have done this at some point but I can't remember... How do you solve simultaneously: y = x^2 + 1 y = 2^x I can find (0,1) and (1,2) on inspection, but envisioning the graph I'm fairly sure there's a third...
