Hi! I am signing up to take a second course in linear algebra this upcoming semester at my university. Among the professors with whom I would like to take the class, one is using one book and the rest another. The one is using Linear Algebra & It's Applications 4th edition by Gilbert Strang...

Hi, I will be starting my third year as an engineering science major at UCSD. Fall quarter starts in a few months so I need to know my course electives so I can take necessary preqrequisites. I would like to know what areas in applied mechanics/mechanical engineering/engineering science is...

Institute to course?? This is my situation.(I am making it very general). I am in the process of taking admission in my First Year Engineering(undergraduate). I sat for one of the examinations down here(BITSAT) and scored a 339/450. When this score is compared to last years cut-off's i...

Hello, I need to build a toy car, that will perform the following task: Go in a staight line for 5 meters, then follow a semi-circunference (or just turn 180 degrees, but not a about-turn) and go back another 5meters, the turning is around a cone: _____________________________________ --->...

Have any of you heard of this online Linear Algebra course offered at BYU? Has anyone here taken it? I believe it's called Math 343 - Elementary Linear Algebra. I'm thinking about it taking it alongside my other classes next semester.

ok I am planning on taking a calculus and Anaylytic Gemometry 1 course at a community college during the summer and its 31 days long, 4 days a week, eah day being 4 hours in the classroom learning the material so do you guys think the professor might teach the course real fast and how...

Greetings everyone. I’m interested in spending some of my free time this summer trying to teach myself Calculus in preparation for college this fall. I spent a great deal of time searching for used textbooks on amazon.com and decided to go with “Calculus” 7th edition by Larson Hostetler and...

Hello all, I am taking a linear algebra course at my university this fall. This course is used as a transition to more proof-orientated courses. From what I hear, this course is one where students generally do poorly if they lack the ability to construct proofs. I don't have much experience...

i was reading about pulse jets and ram jets as part of my course on jet propulsion. all i was told was that they are aero-thermo-dynamic-ducts. couldn't understand what they mean. checked google, but the articles i got were vague. could someone explain what aero-thermo-dynamic-ducts are?

I'm in a bit of a dilemma. Should I withdraw from my proofs course or risk failure of the course by doing terrible in the final exam. It's a pass/fail course. Does withdrawing look bad?

My school district has finally opened up the option to us of taking a summer course (not remedial) in order to get ahead a level, and if you take a math class over the summer, you will be given a math placement test at the end to see if you will stay on track with the rest of the peopl who...

the course is for high school upperclassmen, it is a design of experiments/ statistics class. i am a biologist with a math minor, so i need to brush up on my stats, specifically statistics with respect to testing, i am interested in anyone with any kind of advice for helping me to hit the ground...

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions. Well I should be graduating this spring if every went to plan. But of course it didn't. I started going to school in 2003 as a Software Engineering major, got hurt took a year off for recovery, went back to school as a computer...

Is it possible to take calculus II online for college credit over the summer? If possible, could you you suggest some programs.

Ok thhe follwoing questio is extremely silly. everything else that I've read in the book makes sense but this part doesn't. i just can't seem to udnerstand it because of a combination of stupidity and notation. Near the end of page 69 an identity is derived to show how the components of the...

I am currently taking an introductory QM course...well, first...I find my prof is of no help at all...he's really bad at explaining concepts...and can't even speak English. So...I am basically learning on my own. I understand the stuffs he talk in his lectures, but when the assignments come...

I was wondering what book would be useful in learning special relativity and basic general relativity. I know vector calculus, multivariable calculus, and a bit of variational calculus. I'm looking for something that takes an informal approach to the underlying mathematics(but still rigorous)...

How difficult is a College Level General Chemistry I class? I took Honors Chem in 10th grade under a very good teacher (30+ years in Chemistry field) but don't have that fond of a memory of the field. My little brother is currently taking a Chemistry class so I have his notes/book to go over...

I want to eventually do quantum physics (or some aspect of theoretical physics), so naturally I will be doing linear algebra after I finish my calc sequence, however, my school offers a course called 'College Matrix Algebra' and the only pre-req is Intermediate Algebra. Would this benefit me at...

Last week, I went to register myself for an additional course (graduate) in one of my free slots. I was given a form which required the consent of the professor teaching that course and my faculty advisor. Both of them had no objections with me attending the class. When I went to return the...

hey, guys! im thinking of taking aerospace (or aeronautical) engineering as my course. but..can someone help me? need some info on the course.. mayB info about aerospace would be helpful jz to make sure i take the right course:biggrin:

We recently had a study group to look over some problems we were given in preparation for our upcoming exam. There were two problems that gave us a little bit of difficulty. There's a lot of stuff here, but I tried to trim it up as much as possible so as not to scare off any help. If I need...

What is covered in a typical first year undergrad calculus course? Is it just an in depth study of basic limits/integrals/derivatives? Or do they get into multiple integrals/vector calculus and stuff? Thanks.

a nuclear engineering course as a substitute for nuclear physics?? I am a dual major in electrical engineering and physics and I missed my shot at taking nuclear physics, and likely will never get the chance to take it again. It isn't required for my degree but I still want to know something...

I thought that these courses notes and problem assingments (midterm also) might be useful for anyone looking for extra material. I'm still a first-year student so I'm getting these as we go, and I'll update this post when we cover new material. Lecture Set 0: Introduction To Physics Lecture Set...

Would it make more sense to take multivariable calculus before linear algebra and differential equations? Or would it be okay to take linear algebra and differential equations before multivariable calculus?

Bush claims it has never been "stay the course" You could have fooled me.:rolleyes:

I never thought this day would happen. I'm writing the exam in about an hour and I'm clearly going to fail. If I pass, it's clearly a miracle. I don't deserve to pass either. I don't know anything literally. I worked on it over and over again, but the professor just flat out didn't teach...

Hello, I am a high school senior headed off to university in just 4 months or so. I am going to have to select my courses for my first year in the up and coming months, and was hoping to get some advice. I am pretty dead set on majoring in pure math (consequences be damned :rolleyes: ). Just...
