Engineering Mechanical Design Engineer vs. Technical Support Engineer
I am a civil engineering student and am about to choose a concentration. I really like both civil and mechanical engineering and it was hard to choose between them at the beginning of college. Therefore, I think structural engineering might be the best choice for me. I have been told that...- tpcgreg

Physics What courses should I take to become a physicst.
I'm in engineering, not physics, but I know you need to take the entire calculus sequence (4 quarters, or 3 semesters) plus linear algebra and differential equations. You probably also need to take up through the highest physics course at your community college, which I believe is both...- tpcgreg

Engineering Civil Engineering vs Nuclear Engineering
I am currently finishing up my freshman year of college and am a civil engineering major. I have been considering switching to nuclear engineering recently. I want to know if nuclear engineering would be a good fit for me. I don't really enjoy chemistry very much, I strongly prefer physics...- tpcgreg

High School Is the Product Rule the Key to Finding h'(2)?
I'm in calculus 1, so this stuff is fairly new to me. Just making sure I wasn't missing something. Thanks! -

High School Is the Product Rule the Key to Finding h'(2)?
Hello,It is given that h(x) = f(x)g(x). It then tells me to write a formula for h'(2). I know that h'(x) = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x), using the product rule. So I assumed that h'(2) = f'(2)g(2) + f(2)g'(2) Is this correct? Does the product rule simply allow me to do this? It seems to simple...
