^^ ha. yeah. luckily i'm done with all my calc. I only have one "real" math class left, although it's so tempting to switch to IE just so i don't have to take linear2. But the ME degree will definitely be worth it.

 

No, you aren't! You're in engineering! XD Have you already taken Calculus III (which, for me, is vector calculus)? And if your Linear Analysis is just differential equations, that's still considered calculus. "Analysis" is just a fancy way of saying "Calculus".

 

Fuk Calculus!! hahaha That chose my marjor as environmental engineering less math, but more science!

 

I LOVE PLAYING THE PIANO! It is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooo awesome. The only real problem is that there are like 30 kids in the class with only 18 pianos (there was a problem with the admin office and two classes got morphed together when they didn't have to).

HA! Fine report card you say! That was probably the worst report car I've ever gotten. My parents were questioning me left and right about math and science and even the B's aswell. Last year it was all A's and maybe one or two B's. As for the math, the only thing that inhibited me from getting that B was we only had one test, and it was a chapter test that spanned over 125 pages. Hard as hell. Similar to the one I took yesterday, which was like 110 pages. Still hard as hell. As for me getting a tutor, no. It isn't hard it is just too many theorems and the teacher is too demanding; he thinks that we are math geniuses when half of the kids are eatting you know what in the back (not me, obviously). As for english, I put an angry face because I made some dumb mistakes and the teacher is really cool, but sometimes can be mean and annoying. He is fun because he pokes fun at us, but he really, really likes to see us fail (I know he doesn't but he gets a kick out of it). As for me writing, I love it. One of my friends is an awesome writer, so I can't really compare to him, but if I could, I would want to be an automotive journalist (I still have no idea on what I want to be when I get older).

Jeez that was loooooooonnnnggggg.

 

holy long post batman!

 

Calc III for me was infinite series and stuff. Calc IV was Multivariable stuff, like double and triple integrals and so on.

Linear 1 was diff eqs, and i heard linear 2 had some more Taylor series in it.

but yeah its all calc i guess.

I don't mind math, as long as its applied. That's why statics is actually kinda fun for me.

 

Weird, seems so mixed up compared to how my math "lineage" is set up.

Calculus I and II (a semester each)
Limits and Continuity
Differentiation (trig. diff., implicit diff., inverse trig. diff., mean value theorem)
Applications of Differentiation (linear approximations, Newton's method, L'Hopital's Rule, max/min, incr/decr, concavity)
Integration
Applications of the Definite Integral (area between curves, volumes, surface area, arc lengths)
Integration Techniques (int. by parts, trig. techniques, partial fractions)
Infinite Series (infinite series, integral tests, alternating series, absolute convergence, ratio test, power series, taylor series)

Differential Equations (one semester)
nothing but diff. eq.

Calculus III (one semester, currently enrolled)
Vectors and the Geometry of Space (dot product, cross product)
Vector-valued Functions
Functions of Several Variables and Partial Differentiation
Multiple Integrals
Vector Calculus

Then again, it's luck that my school uses the same book for Calculus I, II and III! We could have used the book for Diff. Eq., but my Diff. Eq. teacher wrote his own books (almost 500 pages!) and we just used that one in Diff. Eq. instead of the other textbook. =]

My Statics teacher was so blahhhhh. Southern Indian, no one could understand what he was saying, even some of my classmates who are from India! :O

 

You make me proud, son.

Do you know, I actually told my "real" son, "You are bringing shame to our family." And we aren't even Asian!

 

ours sounds pretty similar. we just have calc III and IV split into 2 classes, whereas you just have III.

 

Oh man, there goes my want to become an engineer.

I'm not Asian either. I'm hispanic. Wait, I don't get it. Anyways, thanks for the compliment. Oh, and can your "real" son solve a Rubix Cube? Haha! Even more shame!

 

One can, one can't. I have 2 sons who live with me, not counting you, not living with me!

Don't give up on being an engineer. One class at a time. You'll get there if that is what God calls you to do.

 

yeah. don't give up that easily. the classes aren't as bad as they sound...(usually), and there's plenty of people who will help you. my school's engineering dept offers free tutoring.

 

This weekend I'm paying good money to see a piano player in Las Vegas!

 

And who would that be??? Pray, tell!

 

Elton...something.

I hear he was quite popular in the early seventies!

 

Yeah, he was!! He still does a good show, I hear. But he's pretty well past it now...

 

This will actually be the second time I've seen his "Red Piano" show, for a total of 12 or 13 of his shows I've seen since October 1975.

Apologies to the OP for the brief digression!

 

me and my best friend were on the way to a soccer game at our school and rocket man came on the radio as we were pullin into the parking lot and we sat and waited for the song to end before gettin out....people were just staring at us like wtf????

 

Update;

Sixth row seats, great view of keyboard, yet another awesome show (including Rocket Man)!

 

YES!!! BOOYAH (why doesn't anyone say that anymore?)!!!!! I got a C on that test and an A on a project!!!!!! WOOT-WOOT!!
