[z-component]

Here's my spring semester schedule:

AERSP 001S - Aerospace Engineering First-Year Seminar (1)
CMPSC 201C - C++ Programming for Engineers (3)
FR 202 - French Grammar and Composition (3)
MATH 141E - Calculus With Analytic Geometry II (4)
MATH 220 - Matricies (2)
PHYS 211 - Mechanics (4)

Total of 17 credits. I start at 10 am and end at around 2-3 pm each day, on average.

 

[Cyrus]

-ENME462 - Vibrations, Controls, & Optimization II
-ENME371 - Product and Process Development
-ENME664 - Dynamics

That's it for me, I'm sick of staying up late because of work. I am going to be part time next semester. Sweeet.

 

[Cyrus]

C++ can be very time consuming. I took a C++ class this semester, to learn some programming-the class took up a great deal more time than I expected, time I would have rather spent on the classes for my major.

Just wait until you get into your upper level courses and have HW that can't be solved by hand. Not being good at C, or Matlab will be the death of you. We had one homework assignment in Vibrations that all had to be done with Matlab. The whole class pulled an all nighter on that HW, sigh...it really should have been a take home test not a HW.

 

[morphism]

CS 241 - Foundations of Sequential Programs (4)
CS 251 - Computer Organization and Design (3)
PMATH 346 - Group Theory (3)
PMATH 354 - Measure Theory and Fourier Analysis (3)

Hahaha i know what you mean, but what about the class projects? it's like every class has a huge project!.

For this semester, i have to design the structural blueprints for a building in wood, another in steel and another in reinforced concrete. I am way behind on this!, and i also have a highway in mountains , i haven't finished designing!. Not to mention 2 budgets i need to finish, one about a building, another about a highway. I got one halfway done, another i haven't even started.

I'll see how i will manage .

those are uwaterloo courses right?

Just wondering.. generally, is it implicitly assumed that students in Pmath come from the advanced sections of the 100 and 200 math courses?

-first year student :tongue:

-first year student :tongue:

Good point. The codes look exactly like courses from UW. Don't ask why I know.

Next term, I have...

Differential Equations
Mathematics Integrated with Computer Applications (something like that)
Abstract Algebra II
Statistics
Topics in Topology and Dynamical Systems

I JUST NOTICED THAT I HAVE FREAKING 8:00 CLASSES EVERY FREAKING DAY NEXT TERM! I HAD FREAKING TWO 9:30 CLASSES THIS TERM AND I DIDN'T EVEN GO TO ANY OF THEM... LITERALLY! I'M DOOMED!

Time to start going to bed early.

 

[Cyrus]

Hey Jason,

In the summer I'm taking PDE's and Complex Variables. How hard are those classes?

I remember most of my Calc 1-3. Not much of my DEQ though, I can manage. A little of Laplace Transforms. It's been two years since my last math course, and I forgot a lot of little stuff. Integration by parts, the integral or derivative of some functions. It's in the back of my memory banks somewhere, but if you don't use it, you lose it.

Not necessarily, although the majority of the students taking them do come from the advanced sections. If you haven't taken the advanced courses, then PMATH 331 is more or less an essential prereq if you want to take the PMATH analysis courses.

I JUST NOTICED THAT I HAVE FREAKING 8:00 CLASSES EVERY FREAKING DAY NEXT TERM!

Yeah, I have an 8:30 class every day next term. It's going to be really tough.

I've never taken PDE's but for Complex Variables, well you don't need to know anything.

For Complex Variables, I would just suggest getting a Schaum's Outline for it. I never did and that was my biggest mistake. I get them from now on.

 

[Cyrus]

I hope so. As for Schaums, never used them. I don't see much value in them. There more like half assed textbooks, and I can't stand that. Though, to each his own.

cool, thanks

my schedule for next term looks like..

Linear Algebra I
Calculus II
CS 136- elementary algorithm design//data abstraction
Probability
Physics 122 - mechanics and waves II

Probability and Physics 122 seems like they should be taken after Calc II. (For probability you need calc III for the double integrals of the Joint probablity Functions; for Physics calc II should be a prereq for physics I). That's not to say you can't do it all at once, but it would be better to have Calc II done before hand.

 

[bomba923]

I am an incoming freshman at University of California at Santa Cruz, which uses the 'quarter'...not the 'semester'...system.

Anyhow,

>What I will enroll in:

Math 105A -Real Analysis I
Phys5B - Physics 5B
Chem108A - Organic Chemistry I
Biol20A - Biology I
Russ5 - Russian V (duh)

>What I will (have to, by 'time constraints') self-study:

Linear Algebra & Differential Equations*
C (the programming language)*

>And if I have time:

Molecular Imaging (for a certain research project w/faculty)

 

[0rthodontist]

CS 377, Operating Systems
Probably starting a 2-semester senior project with neural networks
Assorted other courses

I haven't really made most of my choices yet. There are almost no courses that I'm being forced to take just to get a degree, so I can snoop around for a while before signing up.

(For probability you need calc III for the double integrals of the Joint probablity Functions; for Physics calc II should be a prereq for physics I). That's not to say you can't do it all at once, but it would be better to have Calc II done before hand.

Probability is actually a second year course but I saw that it had a Calc II as a co-req, so I signed up for it thinking that I was safe. The calendar's description of the course:

The laws of probability, discrete and continuous random variables, expectation, central limit theorem.

As for the physics class, the only requirement for it was the previous physics class, which I admit, actually assumed quite a bit of knowledge of calculus during lectures, but had very little of it for assignments and exams.

Seeing as how I still have time to change things up, I might reconsider my options. Thanks a lot for the tip

 

[Cyrus]

You can do it, there's only a small section that will use calc III. Just put a little tab in your sat book to remind yourself to go re-read it after you take calc III.

Other than that, the rest is basic algebra.

continuous random variables

That's where you use calc III.

 

[morphism]

If it's STAT 230/40 then you're safe. There's minimal calc 3 material in there. Personally I would recommend you take MATH 239/49 (combinatorics & graph theory) before taking probability.

 

[ranger]

Differential Equations
Specialized Communications for Technology/Engineering Students
Advanced Electrical Networks (with Lab)
Microcomputer Systems Technology (with Lab)

This might be the most exciting semester for me...

 

[alex caps]

First year Materials Science & Engineering major at UCLA. I too am on the quarter system, so for winter quarter I am taking:

Chem20BH (Chem Energetics and Change) - 4 units
Chem20L (General Chemistry Laboratory) - 3 units
HNRS 101A (Student Research Forum) - 2 units
HNRS 101B (Undergraduate Science Journal) - 2 units
Math31B (Calculus and Analytic Geometry) - 4 units
Physics 1A (Mechanics) - 5 units

 

[mrjeffy321]

I am just getting into the upper division Physics classes.
My classes will be:
- Phys 3325 – Electronics (+ Lab)
- Phys 3353 – Modern Physics
- Phys 3311 – Theoretical Physics [Essentially a math class]
- Math 3310 – Theoretical Concepts of Calculus
- CS 1337 – Computer Science I (Java) [An easy class to round off my semester]
Total 16 hours

I am actually quite pleased with my schedule this semester, even though it did take almost 4 hours of sitting in the waiting room to accomplish this. All my classes start at, or later than, 1:30 pm (except on Wend.) and I do not have class at all on Friday.

Correction:

-AP Chemistry
-English IV

Computer science is a waste of time at my school

Outside of that extremely easy schedule, I'll be working about 50 hours a week.

 

[Archon]

Quarter System...Freshman:

-Intro to Humanities (required)
-Math 52H: Honors Multivariable (Integral) Calculus...in other words...proofs and...proofs :)
Math 143: Differential Geometry
Physics 63: Electricity, Magnetism, and Waves
Physics 64: Advanced Electromagnetism Laboratory

18 Hours. It's going to be a fun quarter. And I say that without any irony at all. Also, I'll probably be re-learning my chem so I can take O-Chem Spring quarter, which promises to be even more fun than this one.

 

[Jacob Chestnut]

My classes are starting in a week or two. Compared to some of you, I'm not taking many courses.

For my third year spring semester, I'm taking:
M 215B Grad. Algebraic Topology 2 (think characteristic classes)
M 274 Algebraic Stacks
M 196 Honors Thesis in Heegaard-Floer homology

 

[scorpa]

I've finished my prerequisite classes for the professional program I am hoping to enter next year, so this semester I am taking a bit of a break and taking only 3 classes that I am interested in.

Microbiology 265
Cell Biology 201
Physical Geology 201

I wanted to get into an analytical chemistry or organic chemistry class but the ones I wanted were only offered last semester when I couldn't fit them in so I'm pretty disappointed about that.
