When will this meme die? At my university we have two introductory physics classes, one called General Physics ( Algebra based for the pre-med students and such) and one called University Physics which is actually calculus based. Why do we allow fuckery?
top kek. My uni allowed engineers to take algebra based physics.
Suck it you autistic physics fags. I bet you're virgins too.

What do they do? Learn the formulas as they are without knowing how to integrate and derivative them?
Jacob Kelly
Obviously we're talking about basic algebra here, bucko. Not "real" algebra.
Evan Collins
>one called General Physics ( Algebra based for the pre-med students and such)
Yeah, those dumbass medical students would never understand something like calculus or physics.
Actually, it's required for pre-med students at my university.
Carter Phillips
I believe they do things like constant acceleration equations and don't learn vectors and such. I don't exactly know to be honest, because I hate most pre-med biology students. They're all "Grey's Anatomy, House hurr durr people will respect me now hurr"
Jaxson Brooks
I don't understand why they make computer engineers take physics. It's not an engineering discipline in the traditional sense. You don't fucking need to know physics. It's bullshit.
Tyler Cruz
I suppose it's for those who choose to go onto graduate school.
John Powell
>don't learn vectors and such. I don't see why not, to be honest. If they're not going to use calculus, what harm is a little trigonometry going to do?

Christian Peterson
I was a grader for this course at a major Uni, and the academic level of the students seemed about second-year High School.

God forbid you learn something fundamental about the way the world works that won't be directly used in your career.

When will this meme die? At my university we have two introductory physics classes, one called General Physics ( 10+1 dimensional for the engineering students and such) and one called University Physics which is actually N-Dimensional. Why do we allow fuckery?

my Professor liked it, but he didn't even look at most of the work his students turned in

I should never have bought this stupid book. Why did I do that? Bcz it's "the best book on algebraic topology. You won't need much of prerequisite of algebra (this was alright), and boy, that guy surely knows what he's talking about ".
>Lack of real motivation >Proofs are so simplified that I fucking hate them, and rather take things for granted. >His examples are either too trivial or rather un-creative.
To be honest, i much more enjoyed in that little part of algebraic topology in Munkres book "Topology" than this shit. Are there some alternative books? Someone mentioned Rotman and Munkres's book Algebraic Topology. Peace out

So we don't have to deal with annoying premeds in our physics classes.
>My uni allowed engineers to take algebra based physics
Your engineering program isn't ABET accredited.

Even high school kids can get jobs as software """Engineers""".

Because universities are for profit.
They can offer a high school class and make money off it because algebra is less scary than calc.

>God forbid you don't take [random class that has nothing to do with your major] I'm all for being generally educated, but college should be a time to focus on your specialization. I can learn about other things well enough on my own.
David Roberts
computer engineers need full physics
software engineers if they want to be worth a damn (program robots, simulators, etc.) should as well
Brayden Richardson
I see where you're coming from, and I could never argue that that is incorrect. On the other hand, I feel differently about the early part of university. For one thing, many kids coming out of high school don't know anything. It's good to let them experience a broad range of things they've never seen before. Also, one never knows from where an insight or analogy will spring. I think this makes a case for having a sound basis in at least other technical areas. I think this is what Caltech does, but I'm not sure.

Brody Cruz
heh heh got ya this time!
Colton Brooks
Ideally, high school students should be going into college already having that broad knowledge. That way they have at least some basic amount of insight before deciding which career path they want to take for the rest of their lives. Instead, high school education is usually abysmal and they have to waste time in college getting up to speed. Oh well.

with algebra-based physics you mean based on Lie algebras and quantum groups? and algebraic methods for differential geometry?
or like, high school physics? if you mean high school physics then fuck off you retarded fucking child
Blake Gray
>introductory physics classes >Algebra based >for the pre-med students and such
Last time I checked, pre-med students don't have that much mathematical background.
Thomas Stewart
Because CpE is EE dumbass. Of course you need physics
