Hello /sci/.
I am currently studying mathematics and at my university (I think at all universities in Germany) a subsidary subject is mandatory. So far I noticed that I am highly untalented in physics and computer science (the 'classical' ones).
Now to my question: How important are these subjects to mathematicians working at uni (i.e. the academic staff)?

How important are computer science and physics to mathematics? Well they aren't, at the most abstract edge of physics there's some interesting interplay, likewise (but to a lesser degree) with comp sci. But neither are important to mathematics.
>>
Maybe I formulated my question in a bad way:
If my personal goal would be to become a researcher in mathematics, then how important is the choice of the subsidary subject? I mean surely the mathematical faculty works together with physicists and computer scientists, right?
>>

CS, not at all. Combinatorics and Graph Theory appear in so many different problems that you can ignore the CS applications.
Physics, somewhat as a lot of math has been motivated by physics and knowing the basics will help you understand where it's coming from.

In terms of physics I dont think it will matter much. As far as I'm concerned mathematicians hate physicists.

How can you be shit at physics and still think you have a chance at being a mathematician? Did you also fail microeconomics? Physics is fucking babby-tier. Git gud.

comp sci is a good choice because an enormous amount of the research going on (in all STEM fields) involves programming
physics is a good choice because a lot of physics researchers require mathematicians to do their work for them

the comp sci path would be the easier one and also more general purpose

Yeah that's why we have higher IQs than you guys

Mathematicians are the brainlets

i have almost no intuition and i despise the way the professor uses mathematics.

Stop being autistic.

It is not autistic to be annoyed if a professor isn't rigorous
