what's ee, cpe and csc?

as gr said and cpe is computer engineering.

like they make you learn it no doubt but you won't really use it except maybe once a year.

I did not mean it is low-level math at all, just low-level calculus.

yeah but a lot of people do not even have to take calculus! I actually posted a while back that I was surprised people graduated college with no calculus and then I looked into it and a lot of fields top out at pre-calc which includes really REALLY basic integration but a lot don't even have that. it's not something people learn in high school regularly!

was it? I took a few EE classes I don't remember this! oh well. what did you have to use calc for anyways, I remember more logic stuff than calc.

also csc programming, cpe building computers, ee building circuits. a really simplified way to put it.

yah dead lars. you fucked with the Jerkcity Crew, you're gonna get jerked.

yeah umm I only did calculus cause it was part of my technician training, you never do it in high school education as far as I know and you don't have to take Maths in sixth form and up. therefore it's quite feasible that a lot of people don't know calculus. this is in the UK btw

adeline use your imagination.

an eight?

or some sideways titties?

calculus is used heavily in engineering actually (fluid dynamics comes immediately to mind), but because computers do a huge amount of our work for us now most of it isn't explicitly seen

actually in any scenario where you're trying to find out the rate at which anything changes even if you don't do the specific operations you're doing some very elementary calculus

environmental science

This sounds like a pretty math-heavy study to me?? At least the ones who take it here (although it's called Energy & Environmental Science) have to take a shitload of physics and mathematics.

Not really a shitload, I ended up having to do the calculus 1,2, and 3 thing, statistics, and Bio, chem, and Physics 1,2, and 3 because I kept changing my mind over what I wanted to do.
I never went past the general course series in of the big sciences except for chemistry and biology

man steel i am dissappointed, you are that dumb highschool kid that says heh math is worthless....

what the fuck man. i do think calculus should be optional not like in mexican highschool where they drill that shit to you and it makes a shitton of people dropout. but saying is worthless for anyone except engineers is being a dumb philistine along the lines of how some engineers say literature is worthless. it teaches you to think analytically and most important of all, to make a crystal clear argument. simply because my career is based on rigurorous proofs i can see what is a muddled pseudoargument (debord......) and what is a real argument. the skills learned in rigorous mathematical derivations are pretty universal and can be applied to most arguments. (wittgenstein was a mathematician lol)

"calculus is worthless gonna do something more worthwile" *goes and plays videogames*

how does calculus teach you to think analytically? i only covered the real basics but i wish i covered more! it's actually pretty sweet once you know how it relates to everything else, but outside of maths you don't need it! i have found myself in want of calculus maybe 3 times in the last year and all three times were for maths (i wasn't filling a pond)

its an entirely different mental approach than humanities! i mean, reading fuckin ulysses wont prolly "help" you in practical ways but it makes your verbal and intuitive skills probably better. studying math make your logical skills better because it is based almost purely on deducting things from basic axioms.
