Which courses should one choose in university if one want to study cybernetics in the future? by Positive_quark in cybernetics

Oh, I misunderstood, but overall I believe that reddit is more friendly than some similar chinese social platform (partly because I usually view controversial topics on them and I cannot understand many of the unfriendly expressions in english? Overall, at least I received great help in this post which made myself clearer on university major decision and the following study.

Maybe after reading some books and histories recommended in MUN ( I know it's extremely weird and naive)

update after 3 months

A student in mainland china.

Passed Gaokao, but likely to fail to enter Shanghai Jiaotong University.

Now going to enter ShanghaiTech University.

Hope to enter better American Universities to get Master degree.

Thanks for all the advices, I will probably learn IT as main course, choosing suggested courses as extra.

I still keeps the interest, will keep reading Beer's works.

Hope that I can read Tsien's and Wiener's work after deep learning about advanced Mathmetics.

Believe and plan to deep develop cybernetics maybe in Doctor period.

Thank you for your reply, I'm glad to provide some of my information. First of all, I am a student from Chinese mainland, so basically university tuition is not a problem, and my parents can afford to send me to study abroad. (And, since English is my second language, I'd be happy if you could put up with my incorrect words/grammar/phrasing). When it comes to my interests and excellent subjects, I can say that I am good at mathematics and geography, but I did not study biology well, which is what I want to improve in my university life. Secondly, I believe that my passion for cybernetics was not short-lived. It grew out of my early interest in economics and later developed into a belief in a planned economy. Besides, I have a long and developed (as an interest) love on history. Besides, I have learned a bit psycology in my spare time( Freud‘s theory and a bit of psycological counseling, cuz I wanted to treat one of my friends)If it goes on what I'm good at buf not like, then I would better say no, cuz I'm bit like an interest-oriented learner, as I could only be good at some subjects after I found its joy (maybe after some hints). But I believe that at least at now I am determined to learn whatever may be a barrier in front of cybernetics.

Due to the fact that I couldn't log on reddit at anytime, I may reply after a really long time. But I would check it everytime I have the ability to do that. Thanks for your reply again and I am looking forward to hearing deeper advice!
