What can you do with your math degree that I as an engineer can't learn to do within a few days?

Unfortunately you don't get paid to learn shit.
A job is per definition being paid for a skill you already own.

Undoubtedly you can learn whatever a mathematician has learned, and a mathematician can learn whatever you where taught as an engineer.

But why on earth would a employer pay an mathematician to do engineering work and vice versa?

So to answer your question. Math. And if you wanted to do math in stead of engineering you should've gotten a math degree.

because OP is an engie student trying to feel big like the math students who like feeling big. it's a dick waving contest where all the contestants have baby dicks.

both of those things are incredibly simple and you could train a high school kid to help "engineer" them.

they are just expensive

My signal analysis professor said "while mathematician and physicists are busy circle jerking each other over formalities and utterly unnecessary abstractions, the engineer do the job, get paid and go home"

being smart and not being a fag

>fag
Why the homophobia?

Engineer here. It takes more than a few days to learn category theory. If you're a mechanical engineer, you should start learning category theory RIGHT NOW! It's going to be very important in the future.

>The entirety of mathematics and statistics?
Nobody knows the entirety of mathematics.
>Data science, actuarial work, quantitative finance, etc.
Many engineers work in those fields.

>There's a reason nobody trained in engineering has ever made a meaningful advancement in higher mathematics

But they did. See Heaviside or Rudolf Kalman. Although most of the work an engineer does is applied math, they do invent the math they need if it hasn't been invented yet. Heaviside invented an equivalent to Laplace transform and he was a self-taught EE.

Same thing with physics: Dirac, Bardeen. Even Feynman had engineering aptitude from a young age.

Keep living the dream that a specialized meat calculator degree is needed to learn how to think and that it can even remotely compete with a diverse interdisciplinary field such as most engineering disciplines.

Most engineers are retarded though and they only go for a BSc to get some average mundane job. Not that someone with a BSc in Math is any better. Considering that there is no excuse to not to learn the math you need on your own, you will need it anyway, and if you can't then probably you aren't that smart or determined enough.
Engineering is still a better choice if you have an interdisciplinary or practical attitude.
You can probably still do your MSc in Math or even in Applied Physics unless schools in the US degraded this much over the past 80 years compared to Europe.

Except all the crews are bitching about the engineer circle jerking over designing impractical garbage that doesn't work in the real world. Engineers are the last to call math majors circle jerkers. Both fields are filled with them

lmao this reminds me of when I encountered a spergy math major at a house party. He started going off on how studying engineering was pointless because engineers use math to solve problems, meaning that he, a math major, could solve any engineering problem. A bunch of engineering students at the party started trolling him with engineering questions that aren't straightforward mathematical problems (what material would you use for X, how should you process crude feed to prevent catalyst poisoning, etc). It got to the point where the guy was literally screaming "JUST GIVE ME THE EQUATIONS" over and over again in response to every question. Looking back I feel sorry for the guy.

"Many engineers work in these fields"

Lol how's the first year of your mech eng degree going user? Join any cool campus clubs?

>Data science, actuarial work, quantitative finance, etc.
Many engineers work in those fields.

HAHAHAHAAHAAHAHhAHHAHhahhahaHAHAHAHAHAHhahahaAA you are so retarded it breaks my brain.

>why the homophobia?
Why the faggotry?

Well, I think it's about specialisation. Instead of learning wider area of maths, physics and chemistry, you just have (probably) advanced calculus and statistics, classical mechanics, thermodynamics and circles, building materials and bunch of CAD
There is no need for you to learn about complex dimensions, Riemanns functions, relativity, astrophysics, quantum mechanics, chemical bonds and atomic chemistry etc, you just need general knowledge about Earthlings reality. Pure mathematicians/physicists/chemistry people are supplementing yours mind and knowledge, and you have to transform theirs abstract concepts into real thing. It's symbiotic system.

Kek

my dude, some will think it's a joke, but it's precisely the most accurate answer to OP's question.

people fail to realize that math is only about numbers and doing calculations. that's only a small fraction, that's usually left to applied math.
not because you've learnt calculus you're a mathematical genius.
I like to explain to my undergrad students like that:
"calculus" is equivalent "masterchef"
while "analysis" is equivalent to "masterchef the professionals"

>But they did...
We're talking about higher mathematics.

>Dirac, Bardeen. Even Feynman had engineering aptitude from a young age.
So you're saying all it takes to be an engineer is having engineering aptitude?

The fact you don't know the level of math that engineers take or the fact that mechanical engineers at the bare minimum need 2 chemistry classes shows why Veeky Forums is so inept about engineering.

Are you retarded?

this

>There's a reason nobody trained in engineering has ever made a meaningful advancement in higher mathematics
Maybe not in higher math, but in physics, definitely.

This, the majority of people here are circle jerking muh science average retards who will never do any worthwhile actual science.
They can't even properly educate themselves or learn skills outside of their little I'm a nerd bubble.

op meant something useful.

Tradies > all

Sure. Let me just open up my Mathlab and put the equation right there. Only one variable? Only two terms? Both terms have a dominating exponent? Bah, this is too easy.

But of course this equation is USELESS as it isnt image of anything natural.

but he was right though about the topic though. although finding the real equation could be interpreted as the "work" of the engineer.

he was wrong socially though. because you cant just be negative and say bad things about other people at a party

What actually interests high school graduates to study engineering? Like what is interesting about it when one could be studying quantum mechanics or astrophysics?

How many engineers do you know that can do any form of analysis, except maybe basic signal and fourier analysis. Engineers doing analysis are like monkeys painting, you both know they have no idea what they're doing

lol what an asperger

high schoolers go to where
i) their parents command them to
ii) where their teacher recommends them to after they get a good grade in something
iii) what their friends think are cool and will bring money

engineers are specialized to be productive and progressive members of the society. sure mathematics has many areas that are not useful, for example, every theory/model that works in non-euclidean non-3d space.

>I can do data analysis within a few days
No, you can't.

>that I as an engineer can't learn to do within a few days?
A few days is pushing it, but within a few months? Absolutely nothing.

And what about the opposite

What can you do with your engineering degree that I as an mathematicians can't learn to do within a few days?

So do it and post the solution.

besides find a job?

Where does this even come from?

As STEM fields, they cover similar topics in school but very different skills. Either one will be able to move into the other field given time. I personally believe a mathematician would have an easier time given that they study theory most of the time which suggests that they will do just fine given that most engineering only requires knowledge up to differential equations (as an engineering student myself I find this to be quite insulting).
Whenever I graduated high school, I actually wanted to do Condensed Matter Physics or Computational Physics or anything with physics and a lot of quantum. I then decided, after a couple hours of considering paths after BSc and PhDs and not wanting to be in research my entire life, that Materials Science and Engineering was a good fit for the bill. It has a lot of physical chemistry and quantum mechanics which is satisfying, can lead me into Condensed Matter if I still wanna go that way, and leaves plenty of room open for other jobs be it in engineering or whatever. Sucks that there isn't nearly as much math though so I decided to double major.

It's more like a dick waving contest where one has a 7in*5in penis, while the other one has a 5in*7in penis. The former dick is longer and thus seems better, while the latter is short, but has the thing that actually matters - girth.

This is categorically false. Try to get a math/stats job with an engineering or science degree and see how well it goes. If you showed up to a data science or quant position opening with a biology, chemistry, or MechE degree, they'd frame your resume and throw it on the wall in the lobby so that everybody can laugh at it every time they entered the building. ""STEM"" degrees are not even close to being similar or somehow on equal footing to employers. I'm curious about what field you study and what field you work in if you think anything else is the case

Engineers with Masters in Engineering can become Math professors just to let you know honey.

Not once did I claim the degrees to be equal or give equal footing for jobs. I'm saying it would be easier for an engineer to segue into math or stats than say someone who got their degree in hospitality. Plus, it wouldn't be too bad for that said engineer or scientist if they had somehow obtained experience in that field; for example, a physicist with considerable experience in statistical mechanics applying for that job.

>being the instructor for a calc II course makes you a professor of mathematics

Because they want to build things. Real physical things. In order to design, model, and optimize a real physical object you need material science, physics, and calculus. Swap material science for computer science if you're not Mechanical/Structural/Aero.

Nothing says an engineer can't be interested in astrophysics or biology in his own time. It's just not inherently related to his primary passion that he's making a potential career out of.

It's really not difficult to understand.
>Minimum cross sectional area required for a 6061 Aluminum rod with a stroke of 2" and a maximum rpm of 6,000 with a 400 gram piston to last 20,000 miles before risk of failure.
These are the types of curiosities that interest an engineer.

if mathematicians put their mind too it, they could probably solve almost all of mechanical engineering in like a month so that computers could design real physical objects for us. This would make mechanical engineers obsolete.

Ah, the delusions.
It sure feels good to be a competent engineer and not a loser mathfag.

Not true at all, in fact is the opposite. Anyone can force himself to study math, be a good goy and pass tests to be a good mathematician.

Engineering takes empirical experience, you have to tinker around and develop that intuition, a mathfag thinking he would be a better engineer just because he knows more math is as ridiculous as a physicist thinking he could be an elite soccer player just because he knows how the ball moves.

>being a professor in math makes you a professor
Yes. Are you piss drunk or just going through an autismo period?

The idiots here do not represent the math and physics majors IRL. My engineering Professor is basically a physics weeb, he loves Einstein as his idol (inb4 /pol/).

Engineers are a grown version of kids playing with blocks, anyone can do what you retards do.
