Hey all. So I'm at a point in my life where I have to make some serious decisions about what I want to do. Here's a quick sum up: Graduated from high school with mediocre grades, 72% average. Bad home situation. Graduated from university with a 3 year B.Sc Biology degree in 2005 with a B...

I'm planning to major in physics at my university. However, this will be a second degree. My first was a 3 year biology degree 7 years ago. I'm interested in the job prospects of the various physics degrees and since my university is a small undergraduate school, they offer multiple...

This, this, and more of this. I'm pretty much in the same boat excelsior. If you're thinking of doing a physics undergrad, try to master each of the things micromass said above. It can be hugely intimidating going back to school, especially in something that you need a refresher on, but it...

Hey all. I was hoping that Mathwonk might be able to comment on these. I found these SMSG preliminary texts via Google Scholar. There's a link below but if you want to check for yourself, enter "intermediate mathematics frank allen smsg" into Google Scholar. Should come up as the first two...

Hey all. I just wanted some advice on what supplementary materials to pick up. I start uni in a week but I'd like to have decent support material available in case I run into trouble. Here are the courses I will be taking over the next two years to three years: Precalculus Introduction to...

Then again, I suppose the program does get pretty heavy in years 3 and 4. 6 courses in the first semester of year 3 and then 7 for the rest of the program. Good God that's a lot of school.

If someone could take a quick look at this program, I'd appreciate it. I found out today that one of my other options is no longer available, so the above program is now a stronger possibility. My main concern with the Lakehead program is that the B. Eng is a weaker engineering program because...

This is one of the only programs offered in Canada that's structured this way. The first two years are towards a Mechanical Technology diploma, the last two are for a B.ENG in Mech. Engineering. I'm curious what you guys think of this program in terms of A) a standalone Technology Diploma and...

Hey guys, so the second half of my first year comp sci course is winding down, and the exam is fast approaching. The problem is that our "text" for Comp Sci 102 (second half of first year comp sci) is a collection of notes by one of the professors in the department. After comparing his section...

Hi everyone, I guess I'm coming to that point of realization that I'm not going to pass my calc course. I don't really know why I'm writing this, maybe in the hope that someone on this forum may have been in a similar spot and could advise me about their experience. I've never really failed...

Homework Statement I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Homework Equations f(t) = t/(t+1)2 find f(1/t) The Attempt at a Solution f(1/t) = 1/(t/(t+1)2) = ((t+1)2)/t = (t2 + 2t +1)/t The answer in my book says it's t/(t+1)2...

Homework Statement Could someone please explain, in very simple words, the horizontal shift of a graph? I've used the search button, textbooks, and google and I'm just not comprehending this. Why does the graph f(x-1) shift f(x) 1 unit to the right and not left? Homework Equations...

Does anyone know of a good Precalculus Tutorial Dvd, or maybe a course that streams the classes on the Internet, like MIT does with OpenCourseWare? Thanks

Hey guys, I was just wondering what the difference between these two statements are: V¯(x) = ± 4 V¯(x) = - 4 ---> does not exist. This is the quote from my text, "...we remind you of a very important agreement in mathematics. The square root sign V¯ always means take the positive...

Hey everyone. I've just gone back to university after a number of years off, and I'm looking to take Calculus in the fall of 2008. My problem is that it's been 9 years since I did Precalculus, so I was thinking of self studying through the summer. I've picked up Precalculus by James Stewart...
