Yeah, I taught myself programming at a young age and have been doing it professionally for about 10 years now.

I was just wondering if the more.. "advanced" areas of life, ie the math and physics, could be done in the same way (although I don't see why they couldn't).

Just wondering how prevalent self-taught physicists/mathematicians are.

Another idea I had was.. whether or not I could get a scholarship, or some type of incentive if I approached a university already possessing this knowledge.
