i always laugh when non-math majors who take these lower level classes think they're really buffing up their math skills because they know how to take an integral or find the inverse of a matrix. at best they somewhat learned the vague outlines of the real mathematical theories that underlie this shit, if they went to a good school and had a prof who cared. but mostly they just learned how to follow directions and plug in numbers/equations into rote prescriptive formulas that tell them exactly what to do. |

Date: October 3rd, 2013 8:46 PM Author: talented shrine mental disorder It's pretty easy to differentiate between hard math classes and easy math classes. In the hard ones, pretty much every homework problem and exam problem starts with the word "Prove" or "Show." (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2377805&forum_id=2#24164390) |

Date: October 3rd, 2013 8:22 PM Author: talented shrine mental disorder Reminds me of when engineers try to explain how they had to do more math than cs majors when really all they did was spend more time plugging and chugging through algorithms.

|
Date: October 3rd, 2013 8:24 PM Author: Chestnut Selfie the funny thing is that the comp sci major actually had to learn how fairly complex algorithms work, and how to implement them in new languages to solve novel problems. engineers just have to recognize when a situation involves X formula and then plug plug plug.

Date: October 3rd, 2013 8:24 PM Author: bronze sound barrier Wasn't a math major. took up through diffy equations at the local TTT in high school. Got A's with no studying. Took linear algebra, real and complex analysis freshman year, and got 100s on every test, while not thinkign about school at all, and partying and fucking mad bitches. LOL at these mickey mouse classes. 130 IQ dullards think they are smart cuz they can crack a C in them, but they don't realize how elementary this shit really is.
