/class schedule/ thread

How's your class schedule looking this year? Pic related my next 2 years of classes (mechE and physics double major master race)

> bothering with mechanical engineering.

pleb.

I have 3 lab courses.
I don't know how to feel about this. Last semester I had a """""lab""""" for my intro to programming course, no one attended and it was just a place to ask TAs about homework. so I don't know how physical science labs will stack up.

Pretty easy. Not even taking a full load.

Real analysis
Intro to computer programming
SAS programming

Maybe you some if you can help me with this: I don't really have any experience programming. I started learning C last week, and have nearly made it through the first chapter (which is pretty much just a tutorial). How fucked am I taking the SAS class? Since I'm not taking a full load I'm hoping the extra time will help remedy my lack of experience coding.

Wow. First sentence should read: Maybe some of you can help me with this:

Aeronautical Engineering

The classes I'm taking are commercial aircraft structures, finite element method, control theory and Japanese.

Partially doing Japanese because weeb, but also very helpful for a career in aerospace. The japs make all the aircraft skins, ribs, tooling etc.

Probably gonna fuck it up this semester. I have three sciences with labs stacked together somehow.

>need to get an advisor before they let me sign up for classes
>put it off til now
>professor won't respond
>classes start in a little over a week
Welp

>tfw aerospace is heading into a massive slump
Feel bad for you son

Thermo 1
Intro engineering
Statics
Intro materials
Computer science

Does anyone else think CS is a weird class to make a MechE major take?

no. learn programming. every engineer should know at least 2 programming languages before they graduate.

for Mech E i recommend Visual Basic and FORTRAN.

you will thank me later when you take heat transfer and have to write your own Crank-Nicholson algorithms.

Senior Design
Controls
Refrigeration Lab
Thermo II
Manufacturing Processes
Machine Design

>Intro Computer Organization
>Discrete Mathematics
>Physics I
>Japanese Society
>American Government
>Medical Ethics

CS Major. The bottom one is something I need to do for Honors credits (and Honors doesn't help w/ anything even remotely relevant to my major until the last year) ; and Japanese society is my last social sciences requirement, which I took because I'm obsessed w/ Japan (and Germany).

stopped reading after the first 6 words

If intro to programming wasn't a pre-req probably it's barely a class

Replace fortran with python and you're good. Who the hell uses fortran anymore?

Better yet, just learn one language and spend the extra time on learning to not be a shitty engineer

Spanish
Theory of Computation
Machine Learning
Advanced Topics in AI

>Who the hell uses fortran anymore?
literally everyone doing CFD or FEA.

Spanish is so boring...why couldn't you take a language that's actually challenging & pleasant to read?

Algebraic Number Theory
Modular Forms

I know QBASIC, is that enough?

>what is a pre/post-processor
t. aerospace engineer

Because I placed out of two sems of Spanish. It's a requirement I have to fulfill not one I care about.

fall 16
calc II
intro to linear algebra
intro to programming
elementary Latin

Spring 17
calc III
intro to proofs
intro to ODE I
(something else, not sure yet. I am scared of this semester)

>intro to proofs
What the fuck?
Do you just learn about proofs? Is there no other math?

>QBASIC
no. i said VB because everyone, from the smallest startups to the biggest conglomerates, has Excel on their workstations, and its easy as shit to bust out little apps here and there.

python is bretty gud for stuff only you are going to use.

i'm fucking serious about this programming shit. learn it or be prepared to be that unemployed guy who whines on Veeky Forums about falling for the engineering meme.

>Calc II
Be very scared. Series will kick you in the balls & punch you while you're down.

fucking weak

What? Series is the most interesting part in Calc II and is no harder than the rest.

you can literally bash your head against practice problems and understand it eventually

This semester, like the last, is pretty straightforward. The meat of my degree (mathematics) really starts coming next year.

Calculus II
Geometry II
Fundaments II (Modern algebra, set theory and logic all bundled up in one class)
Scientific english
Report writing

>be engineering student
>yfw you see that Taylor expansion ass pull in both Navier-Stokes AND the heat diffusion equation

i get why mathematicians consider engineering to be non rigorous.

I found integration far more interesting, and easier.

Same can be said for Integration, and Calc I shit like Limits and Derivatives.

Where do you go to school that you're not having core crap crammed down your throat?

To be fair, proofs are kinda their own meta mathematical topic and do have a lot of theory. Hell, I know that somewhere in my notebook I have written down the rigorous definition of a logical argument.

That said, his list kinda looks like CS so maybe I am being too hopeful about what 'intro to proofs' actually is.

>Where do you go to school

A little country known as panama. 'University of Panama' would be one valid translation of the name which is in spanish.

If you ask me I would say that scientific english and report writing is core crap being crammed down my throat because I signed up for mathematics but it is not as bad as the guy having to take fucking latin.

I mean, fucking Latin. For fucks sake. 'Taking it up the ass from a big black man 101' sounds like a better class.

Series are fucking easy, you brainlet. All you have to do is memorize a bunch of rules; you don't even have to think.

I think you got Series & Derivatives mixed up there, pal.

>'Taking it up the ass from a big black man 101'

That is a really long way of saying intro to engineering.

Calc III
Java Programming
Logic Design
Data Structures
Physics II """"Lab""""
Chemistry """"""""""""""""""""Lab"""""""""""""""""""""""'''

Labs are absolutely garbage. Not like we're learning how to do experiments with any amount of precision. It's just step-by-step baby shit. At least I get to chill out with my fellow engineer brainlets.

>Japanese Society

Kek. You know that classroom is going to be filled with skinny, smelly beta nerds, right?

those labs are an introduction to technical documentation. nothing more.

nope, I am a math major. But I can't say much as to what our proofs class will be like. I am just near the beginning/I have a weird jumble of credits from years ago when I fucked around and quit college like 4 separate times. I am trying to graduate in '18 and it looks like there are going to be some really tough semesters ahead. We will see how it goes.

Comp sci "labs" are not the same thing as actual labs. The term has a much different meaning in that context. Physics/chem labs are pretty time intensive and usually pretty cool provided you aren't in babby teir

cool thanks.

you fucking paedophile degenerate child-rapist wannabe

I don't have to take Latin, I just need some credits to stay full time and they aren't offering ancient Greek this fall. Languages are cool.

Well, to really figure out what is going on then there is just one question you need to answer.

Is propositional logic a prerequisite for that class or is it at least going to be a big part of that class?

If yes then get ready for the ride of your life and getting your mind blown at least twice per week.

If not then prepare yourself for some kind of discrete math course where you prove that the sum of the naturals from 1 to n is n(n+1)/2

Linear Algebra and Waves & Optics will rape me in a fun good way.

everything else shouldn't be too bad.
i think

>implying there's anything wrong with pedophilia

I am fine with this being a blue board because obviously sexual depictions of children are not actually porn (because that would be illegal!) so we can safely post them here as they are not porn and I can safely, legally, masturbate to them.

Fuck am I hard. GOD DAMN.

The only required class was regression analysis

What are you using for your flowchart? I ended up having to grapple with Microsoft Project to sort out my courses.

Fall term:
>intro to mec e
>mechanics 2
>deformable bodies 1
>intro to stats
>calculus 3

I appreciate it, thanks user!

You need to test if it converges or diverges, and if it converges, sometimes you have to know what it converges to.

It is the beast we know that "weeds the plebs" from the programs.

Washer method is harder imho, and thats only because i knew double integrals made it pleb tier.

That actually sounds fun, how many of those have labs?

The first two have seminars, the other three have labs. Normally students have six courses per semester but I'm taking a bit of extra time and doing summer classes so I'll be down to four per semester after this one.

Me too, im taking 4 in fall, 5 in spring and 2 in summer.

Good luck, your program sounds great

Mathematical physics
Quantum I
Particles and fields 1
Advanced Seminar (Condensed matter)
Colloquium

I'm a first semester grad student so I think i'm going to get fucked.

Just think about the girls in the freshman class you're going to TA for.

That would be nice, but it's possible I get stuck in the group of Grad students who just grade for the general courses, which means I get to sit in a room with other sad people and die on the inside.

Jesus Christ. God speed, user. You're going to fucking need it.

2nd year grad

ind study research
probability (lol)
somethin else wutev

also teaching a course

Think about them anyway. It'll help you get through.

Whatever

Fall 2016

For a board that talks so much shit about engineers, there sure do seem to be a lot of engineers here...

calc 2
discrete math
physics 1

kind of cucked myself desu

The stuff you do with series in calc 2 is very mechanical and on the same realm as doing derivatives albeit it was my favourite part of calc 2.

Mathematical Proofs: A Transition to Advanced Mathematics is the text. No clue if I will be getting my mind blown twice per week. That sounds awesome. Calculus is a bit tedious and superficial right now (not that it is too easy for me or something, it definitely doesn't come easy for me. I need lots and lots of work to get anywhere). I am looking forward to getting a glimpse of some other aspects of mathematics.

>Fall
Topology
Regression Analysis
Theoretical Classical Physics
Intermediate Microeconomics

>Winter
Intro. Functional Analysis
Statistical Analysis (Time Series)
Symbolic Computation
Differential Geometry

Also doing a thesis and going to be TAing a shitload of classes.

No thats a good worload, its not a fuck up

Let's see if I can remember this off the top of my head, since my school's site is down at the moment

Fall:
Calc 2
Physics (calculus) 1
Engineering 101

Winter:
Calc 3
Digital logic design 1
Electrical circuits 1

Spring:
Vector calc
Digital logic design 2
Electrical circuits 2

Summer
Differential equations
Calc physics 2
Electrical circuits 3

Fall
Linear algebra
Calc physics 3
Computer science 2

Regardless of what type of proof class you get, you will see many different aspects of mathematics. That is just a given. The difference will be in how rigorous it is.

For example, the proof of the sum of naturals from 1 to n being (n+1)/2 is usually done in an unrigorous manner. This proof looks like it only needs highschool algebra but if you examine the argument, where is everything coming from?

The first good question to ask is why is this induction valid? Nobody really knows... until you see that actually induction is an axiom of our arithmethic but not in a direct way. This induction doesn't talk about random numbers and if it works for n and n+1 then it must work every number. It talks about the sets of numbers and what are the conditions to prove that a subset of a set is actually the set itself.

In a rigorous course you would see these axioms and work directly with them. In a non-rigorous course you would see this proof in a more high school algebra way, simply assuming that what you are doing can be done because your professor says so.

Nah its gonna be okay. I already have a job lined up, and even with the slump, a ridiculous amount of old people are retiring atm.

Whyyyyy
>hey user i dont get it how come you cant just add the denominators xP
>this is haaaaarrrrddd
>when will we ever need this?

Now this is a schedule my lad!

kek

good luck, user

All of this plus an internship all year at JPL

>internship at JPL
>hasn't taken any mechanics yet
are you ok m8?

what the fuck is calc 3 if not vector calc?

I'm taking an algebra exam to test my knowledge to skip the class. If I fail:

>Quantum mechanics and particle theory
>relativistic electrodynamics and quantum theory
>Dynamical systems
>Differential geometry
>Mathematical biology
>Some other I can't remember

If I pass:
>Diff Geo
>Qm and pt (can't skip this one, would like to do RE and QT)
>Geometry (circular, projective, etc, bit of hyperbolic)
>Number theory
>Topology
>Galois theory or dynamical systems

Rate my schedule Veeky Forums

I dunno, I haven't taken it yet.

Diff Eq
Numerical Methods
Algebraic Structures
Cloud Computing
Network Security

that is a retardedly heavy course load for a single semester

It's a program made by a student at my school for the purpose of planning your schedule to make sure it meets graduation requirements

nice

what the hell?

Math - Linear Algebra
Physics - Electricity & Magnetism + Lab
Engineering - Circuit Analysis
Communications class

This is in UK and it's the standard. Also all of those are year long courses

I would imagine it's probably got to do with the fact that my school does 10-week quarterly terms. Might have divvied up the calc a little differently than a school with semesters or trimesters.

According to Le Catalogue:

Calc 2:
>Includes antiderivatives, the definite integral, topics of integration, improper integrals, and applications of differentiation and integration.

Calc 3:
>Includes infinite sequences and series (emphasis on Taylor series), an introduction to differential equations, and vectors in three space.

Vector Calc:
>Includes multivariate and vector-valued functions from a graphical, numerical, and symbolic perspective. Applies integration and differentiation of both types of functions to solve real world problems.

>Solve real world problems
Literally disgusting

Someone's not an engineer...

wtf man Latin is fucking cool.

Theory of Elasticity
Finite Element Analysis I

>wanting to stay useless
lol Americans....

Thermodynamics, circuits, linear system dynamics, and materials science

That work load looks easy. You lucked out

I got my schedule today

I'm a teacher though.

Freshman at OP's school here

Fall '16:
>Calculus I with Theory
>Principles of Chemical Science
>Introductory Biology
>Writing with Shakespeare

Spring '17
>Calculus II with Theory
>Real Analysis
>Physics II (Electricity & Magnetism)
>Intro to Microeconomics

I'm taking calculus and it's online only.

I'll probably fail because I'm a retard.
