one of instructers in CC in adv algbebra class decided everyone should learn up to partial differentials, when they barely touched on adv alg subject. terrible teacher, did he forgot the class he was teacher, or he was using subterfuge to get rid of large part of the class to make it easier on himself.
The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

mathematical insight is a bit like hyperbolic space. the further out you go, there more stuff there just is.
or in other words, if it’s a tree datastructure, the only special point is the point right at the origin. that’s why, if you want to be special, you gotta stay there: don’t learn mathematics at all.

Cryptography is a weird include. Everything else is general knowledge but cryptography is a branch off of math.

There’s “for engineers” listed on there. This isn’t someone taking intellectually challenging and rigorous math courses. It’s training for trademanship. So, it makes sense that it wouldn’t make sense.

Stuck at thermodynamics and can’t even see statistical mechanics at the top of the hill…

That hill is way too straight. It’s definitely an increasing slope for a bit there. Starting about where they are, electricity and magnetism

Electricity and magnetism got me to change my major from physics to mechanical engineering. I thought I loved physics. Turns out when it’s a bunch of pixie bullshit that I can’t feel or see, I don’t like it so much. Vibrations is the E&M of Newtonian mechanics though. Had to take that one twice.

Fucking magnets, how do they work!

You’re gonna wanna zoom out a lot, this is like undergrad up to junior year

Al this to work later in the job with an Excel accountant table.

This feels like a Computer Engineer course outline

I was about to say, looks like my CS courses, apart from Thermo and Topology.
jaybone@lemmy.zip 19 hours ago
My CS didn’t have to do physics, or calculus III, or multivar. iirc.

it’s kind of funny how many of the soft sciences are learning all these same mathematics.

It’s true because the moment you disengage from math you are back at a level of a middle schooler.

It might be better to do PDE’s before thermo and electromagnetism
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 hours ago
wait, is the fact i hadn’t studied linear algebra and multivariate calculus in high school why i wasn’t understanding electromagnetism, and when i understood them enough to teach them in college suddenly electromagnetism clicked?
it was really stupid. I kept forgetting which finger went where on the right hand rule (i have it now, thanks) and then i couldn’t make the math work. every other godsdamned thing in the physics text made intuitive sense but that.

Thermodynamics and partial diferentials fucked me up so bad I gave up studying physics. I just could not pass

I was happy until Fourier and Laplace Transforms showed up…

Also fine to stop if you know everything you need to know 😀

I am not good at maths, the only one here I recognjse is discrete maths. A term I have not heard of since I dropped out of the course that had it as a module in semester one.
hirihit640@sh.itjust.works 1 hour ago
You can learn discrete at the very beginning. That’s the beauty of it. It’s so simple yet so difficult at the same time. Same with number theory.
