    Pursue a Masters in Comp Sci immediately after BS Math?

    What topics are good to self study and with what books/resources? Which are best to wait and learn in a class setting with more guidance?

    Pursue a Masters in Comp Sci immediately after BS Math?

    I was just talking about this with a friend who is in the program I intend to attend. He told me that there are several people in the program who have degrees in other fields, like math, physics, chemistry, and engineering. Apparently this program offers graduate leveling courses. That's why...

    Pursue a Masters in Comp Sci immediately after BS Math?

    I'm finishing my BS in math this spring. I know a little c++ but not much to say I have mastered it. Is it smart to start a MS in comp sci so soon? Should I wait and do some self study and then apply?

    How to determine monthly deposits to reach a financial goal

    Hi everybody. I'm trying to figure out a somewhat confusing problem about savings accounts. I want to save 96,000 over the span of 20 years (or 240 months). At the moment there is no money in the account. My account compounds interest monthly at a rate of .5%. How do I determine the...

    The Mixing Problem: Understanding the Dilution of Brine in a Tank

    I guess my real question isn't "can someone help me solve this?" It's more "can someone explain how the rate of fresh water coming in affects the solution inside the tank?"

    The Mixing Problem: Understanding the Dilution of Brine in a Tank

    Well for #1 I got a) x=30e^(-.03t), x(10)= 22.2 lb. b) 23.1 minutes For number I've tried finding the integrating factor but that still leaves me with the question of whether the rate of fresh water in changing from 3gal/min to just 2gal/min has anything to do with the amount of solution in...

    The Mixing Problem: Understanding the Dilution of Brine in a Tank

    Hi all. I'm trying to help a friend work a differential equation problem since I've already taken this course and gotten an A in it, but this other problem has me a little confused. The book is ODE's by Tenenbaum and Pollard, chapter 3 lesson 15a number 2. #1) Tank initially holds 100...

    Is an Undergraduate in Applied Math with a Masters in Engineering good

    I would like to bump this. I am in virtually the same boat as the OP. I'll be graduating next fall and am very interested in going to grad school for mechanical. And just like the op my fear is that IF I do attend ill end up with a degree with little prospects. For this reason I keep juggling...

    Take Analysis concurrently with Proofs Course? Smart or Stupid Idea?

    Great. I've started working on "Mathematical Logic" by Stephen Cole Kleene. I saw it was recommended on here by several people so I thought I'd give it a shot. Any other recommendations?

    Take Analysis concurrently with Proofs Course? Smart or Stupid Idea?

    Awesome! This is why I love coming here; straight up answers... even if they hurt a little! :blushing: Honestly, no. I don't know how to do these things. I guess I will be taking this class in the fall of next year. From what my friends have told me, the proofs course is very rigorous and...

    Take Analysis concurrently with Proofs Course? Smart or Stupid Idea?

    Hi all. This is my first post on here. I come here to read what others ask/answer so this was the first place I thought of when this dilemma came up for me. I am a Math Major and I am for sure taking a proofs course this fall. I have been allowed to take Analysis concurrently with the proofs...

    Mechanical vs. Electrical engineering vs. Bioengineering

    I'm like the OP, minus biology. I have a very big interest in both electrical and mechanical. My biggest concern though is that I keep reading that EE is much harder than ME. What makes it so? Obviously the core curriculum for both paths are identical, but what in EE makes it more...
