Can I even be considered human? My university is ranked within the top 150 in the world and it was that shit.

Except you're not a math autist so you're fine. Your job is to design important stuff, not calculate things.
Though I suspect you're a role-playing troll.
I'm in third-year EE. The worst math we had this semester was square roots lol.
what country is that uni in OP?
Correction: I finished third year.
I'll be getting a math minor when I finish the BS, and hopefully I'll never have taken a single proofs class.
UK
The point of an engineering degree isn't really to remember every particular of every numerical method, mathematical trick, or proof; it's to remember 1) the gist of what it is 2) where to apply it and 3) where to find out how to do it again
But that's all baby tier math. That should be almost second nature.
Where did you go and how did you get there?
I want to start in my EE degree, any tips on what to study beforehand?
Take Engineering and Applied Science at a community college. University is trash, too much bureaucracy and mechanization (huge classes and shit procedures). My CC was better in every way, especially cost. I fucked up a LOT of classes at CC, and even managed to get some substitutions that may not have been permitted at uni (Interpersonal Relations for a speech class because lolanxiety). The classes were also a lot more rigorous and the teachers put in a lot more desire for in-class performance and larger assignments over doing chapter after chapter of homework.
CC was free, and I got money back, even after the fuck-ups. I lived with my parents at the time, and they paid most of my food bills, but I worked as a tutor. My tutoring position was also a lot more lax too, as long as I didn't get in trouble I could tutor however I wanted. Environment is a lot better too, older adults, people with problems. Uni is all normalfags and foreigners, literally. Barely any personality to the students.
If you're a normalfag just go to uni, you could fuck stacies and study or party all the time. If you're not a normie go to CC.
Since you probably meant specific subjects, there's really nothing you can study. It hasn't been that hard. Watch or read SICP if anything, that helped a lot of my internal organization.
>know all that stuff and more and able to develop and build cool stuff with it.
>also reasonably knowledgeable in practical computer knowledge and programming
>be too introverted / autistic / socially awkward to find employment.
UK engineering degrees confirmed trash
then create your own "employment".
Will still need to find people willing to trust paying me money to help them. And I don't think I'm a very convincing guy.
>UK shitposting frogs confirmed
Don't engineers just type everything into MATLAB anyway?
>going to unis that are this shit
you only meme'd yourselves lads
There do exist already done stuff in matlab that you can use as tools or you can make your own stuff. Thing is if you aren't able yo build your own stuff you rarely understand what the fuck your doing with premade tools anyway.
> still using MATLAB

If you studied engineering (and supposedly did so because you wanted to be an engineer and nothing else) then why do you care about theorems?
Math major speaking and honestly unless you are going to make new math, you don't need the theorem, you just need the formula sheet derived from that theorem.
You honestly have no idea. Even the most basic primary school type of shit like the area of a fucking triangle needs literally every single axiom of geometry and heck, one of the axioms of area is a fucking cheat (shouldn't be an axiom) just so that the proof of this basic formula is not an absolute 50 page long mess.
You should not care about the theory, just like I could not give two fucks about whatever you apply the math to.
it's only really useful for signal processing/filters and for designing control systems (for which it is undoubtedly based).
As an EE everything else would be done in specialist software for example SPICE for analogue circuit design or VHDL for digital.
It's also not bad as a calculator.
MATLAB is great for prototyping algorithms. You then take the most promising ones and implement them in a faster language or hardware or whatever.
Any more tips?
Thanks for the reply, and by SICP do you mean the MIT classic?
I didn't necessarily mean subjects, especially if none come to your mind as necessary. If it really is that seamless, gonna hit up the counsellor and start my degree again
Yes I did mean the MIT classic.
Go to tutors if you need them. Most places have free tutoring, by open labs or scheduling.
Also, at uni, I've had some really, really terrible classes. Just get through them, usually the curve will be enough or you'll do better than you expect.
Literally just read about it

Line integrals are literally just how much a vector field (think magnetic waves or gravity) is helping or hindering the movement of a particle over a path.
For example, an easy line integral is
W=F*d
For Earth mass, M
Object mass, m
Gravitational constant, G
Starting distance from Earth's center, a
Final distance from Earth's center, b
Force, F=-GMm/r2
(negative because you want to go up and gravity will fight that.)
Work is the definite integral of distance traveled so... W=GMm(1/b-1/a)
Work is positive as long as b>a, which makes sense because it will take work to move an object further from the Earth.

Well, you're sure as hell won't be a design engineer. You probably won't even design anything proper analog and field calculations are totally off limits to you.
Hmm... you can shout at technicians all day though.
