That would be an improvement over there.

I miss math

edit: dac you may not have to take this part. at my school some of the engineering majors only have to cover the first part of the course. likewise i didn't have to take all of calc III.

I'm taking the only diff EQ class my school offers in about a month, so I'll come back to this thread around then haha.

You should give it a call! It probably misses you too and I'm sure it would love to hear from you.

Math only wants to fuck you. It doesn't care about your feelings, don't let it deceive you.

Yeah, that's true. It can be pretty calculating.

Great thread.

it would be but there are a few people out there that seem to have taken it the wrong way.

I can't do math but I own at Statistics!!

Nah I'm a softeng major but I'm required to do a few computer systems papers. I've heard that the maths in electeng (and comp e) is quite hard and I think it would probably involve a lot of Fourier analysis for signal processing.

Software engineering has very little use for calculus (I pretty much left it behind after my general first year). Instead it relies on pure maths, linear algebra, logic, algorithmics, graph theory and statistics. I'm not really liking the stats I've done so far, but I think it becomes more interesting when mixed with other fields (i.e. combinatorics and stochastics). I am wishing I'd chosen a double major with maths though.
