hi I am still at high school, next year I am yr13 and I am taking calculas but not the other maths option 'modelling and stats' is this a good idea or do i need to take it to be a ME or structual engineer? thanks
NTUENG said:That's right. I haven't done any linear regressions before.
But for my course in mechanical engineering, it's more important to know mechanics, dynamics and statics.
The common maths options for engineering include calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, probability and statistics, and numerical methods.
Maths is important for engineering because it provides the necessary tools and techniques to solve complex problems, analyze data, and design and optimize systems. It also helps engineers to think critically and logically.
While a strong math background is not a prerequisite for engineering, it is highly recommended. Engineering courses are heavily math-based, and having a good foundation in math can greatly aid in understanding and applying engineering principles.
Most engineering programs have a set of required math courses that students must take. It is important to consult with your academic advisor to determine which maths options are best suited for your specific engineering major and career goals.
Yes, there are several online resources and tools that can help with maths in engineering, such as online calculators, video tutorials, and practice problems. Your university may also have a tutoring center or academic support services that offer assistance with maths courses.
