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...

I camed up with...

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...
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!
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...
