Do I just forget everything I've learned?
My degree program requires that I do a "science sequence"; essentially classes 1 and 2 of general chemistry, physics, or biology. I'll be finishing chemistry 2 this semester, which will be the last chemistry class I will ever take with my current degree plan.
I feel quite conflicted about this though. On one hand, it's not a subject I particularly enjoyed, and I'm happy that I am now able to invest the time I once dedicated to chemistry into computer science. On the other hand, I am quite good at chemistry and don't want to just forget everything I learned (even if it's only limited to gen chem 1 and 2).
I feel as if I don't have a reason to know chemistry other than for the sake of knowing it. It might be interesting to code up some projects related to what I've learned, but that's likely the most I will ever be able to engage with chemistry outside of a university. Perhaps getting a minor in chemistry would allow me to do more interesting projects.
Am I just going to have to accept that I'm going to forget a lot of what I learned?
It might be relevant to say that I currently work with interactive theorem provers (ITPs) at a formal methods lab. I'd be especially interested in how formal methods could be useful in chemistry, though that doesn't seem to be the case at first glance.
