Let me tell you something, which is probably the most important quote created by man kind. "You Can Be What Ever You Want". I tell you this because i I'm living it. Six months ago i came to this forum for the the exact same question. I was frustrated that i wasn't good at math at all but i...

Hey guys I'm doing an project on the three main CIvil Engineers that help in the constructiion of the canal. I camed up with... Philippe-Jean Bunau-Varilla John Frank Stevens George Washington Goethals This last 2 have a really intensive involment on the canal construction, but...

How necesary is Programing C for a civil engineer or all engineers? Why do colleges require some programing for engineers. Also for a civil engineer, how important is GENERAL CHEMESTRY 2, since is not mandatory at the University i'll be transfering, but it is a transferable course along with...

Prove that S1, S2, S3 are true statements 1+3+5+...+(2n-1)=n^2 S1=1= (2(1)-1) = 1^2 True S2=1+3 = (2(3)-1) = 5 which cannot= to the sum of our first 2 integers, which will make it false! S3=1+3+5 = (2(5)-1) = 3^2 True The problem is with S2 the book gave me an answer of 4=4 which is...

I agree, grammar isn't my strong point in composition. For now on i'll focus on eveerything 100% since everything is important. Just to be good at everything since very often i hear people say, "just focus on your upper level courses you won't need much of that and that"

Thanx for your responses I'm taking PRECALCULUS in a phew days for the summer term: Should hours spend studying during full term, be double during summer since is shorter? I'm taking the Express summer since is the only way precalculus is available, but i chosed 1 hour and 30 minutes classes...

Whats your point?

Agree yeah i have a strong background in english or i understande it easier then math so yeah just because i want to do better in math i shouldn't drop the the guard in the other subjects. Thanx and good advice!

Smart advise my professor told me. "Do what you love regardless of how much money is in between, and do it well, and money will follow u"

THanxxxxxxx Steve...But how did you jump from algebra to calculus in less than a year?

Thanx MATHMANIAC, I'AM in a very similar case and is great to know someone went through what i went and now loves math. Hope your case goes to the ears of those in similar situations so others won't feel dissapointed. I really don't care what people say i know that i can do it, its just that...

OHHHH my mistake poweriso i didn't make my self clear! Thanx what you have said is very true, and yes I'm trying to polish my math skills. Now I'm on the point that i don't fear calculus at all and feel confident about my math. And how i learne it. I learn math pretty easy now all i need is to...

all I'm saying is that is possible to turn someone with a poor math background into someone with a rich math background. I was a 3 in math now I'm a solid 7. You can take it as you want it. All i ask is encouragement for students like me who want to meet a goal and that poor math background...

Thanx poweriso. But i really don't understand your answer "No it is not possible for someone who has an extremely poor math background to be a successful engineer." Of course no one will make it even to calculus with a poor math background. What I'm saying is that it is possible to be an...
