First Order, Seperable, Linear, Exact, And Bernoulli Equations FTL
 

Differential Equations sucks. It's making me have to remember a bunch of Cal 2 shit I never learned. Hard to remember shit when you never learned it in the first place. The D.E isn't really that bad though.

All you engineering folks better pay attention in Cal 2. Shit will come back and whoop your ass.

I got a C in college algebra and haven't taken a math class since. Wooo!! :D

derivitive equations was calculus I, got an A. integral equations was calculus II got a B. and then differential equations was calc III, got a C :( I've heard thats usually how it goes

ooo goodie i cant wait for that class lol

I liked Diff E.Q. it was applicable and made the most sense. For engineering majors don't worry you will never need it again at least no in any field that will make you money.

If engineers don't use D.E.'s, who does?

And the only thing I remembered from thermodynamics was that everything tends towards disorder (entropy). Shit, I didn't need a college course to teach me that. Any man who's ever dated a woman, or who has raised teenagers, knows that.

I beg to differ, unless my paychecks have been coming in the form of buttons. I better look into that ;)

Calc 2 blows balls.

I have a stats course this term that uses all of that shit.

Gay.

differential equations are everywhere. laws of motion, economics, boost controllers...

Aren't you a phd?

aye

Agreed. Nobody wants to pay anyone to optimize things to the accuracy available from calculating, unless product is massproduced and there will be returns for the time invested. Even then, the persons determining which things to calculate makes more money than the person doing the calculating.

hrk

Hmm; I'm glad the same mentality isn't followed by those who design nuclear plants and the like. It's not always about money.

I laugh as my only math prereq was finite math (Venn diagrams, methods of apportionment) and liberal arts math (simple interest, pie charts, and logic).


If am in Florida, then I do not love math and I am not an engineering major.

T --->( T ^ ~T)

T ---> F

F

See my math taught me that the statement I just said is false, even though I know it to be true.

Venn diagrams are more logic than math.

and your statement doesn't make sense.

perhaps if you said:
1. all floridians hate math.
2. liking math is required to be an engineer.
3. I live in florida and therefore cannot be an engineer

it might make more sense. but still be "invalid" because not all the premises are true.

It was a joke. I barely remember any of that. Point is, for liberal studies they don't give a shit what kind of math you do.

Naarleven, what's the significance of 42 in your avatar?

where have you been for the last 30 years!?

It's the answer to the meaning of life.
