Classes Definition and 568 Threads

Hey everyone, I recently went to enroll for classes for my first quarter of college. However, I have a bit of a dilemma (or so I think). When I left high school I assumed the university would see on my final transcript that I took pre-calculus (I got a B+), and that I would be allowed to...

I'm currently a rising High School Junior and I'm wondering if it is worth it to take as many classes as you can during your High School years to find out what you truly enjoy. So far, I've taken Physics and I loved it but I've heard that you need to combine 2 subjects, for example, Physics and...

Hi, I'm a mechanical engineering (technically engineering science) student. It's almost time for me to pick my course electives but I don't know what to pick. I do have some interests but I would also like to take classes that will help me land a job. Although I would like to strictly take...

hey guys, I was just wondering what courses in applied mathematics are needed for physics. Thanks

Wazzapnin'. :cool: I'm 14 and I'm going to be a 10th grader this year. My school doesn't offer post-BC math, so I have to take all of my math classes online. Currently, I am studying Real and Complex Analysis, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, and Topology [W00T for Dover. :biggrin:] on my...

Homework Statement I need to find the congruence classes mod (3 + sqrt(-3))/2 in Q[sqrt(-3)]. Homework Equations None known. The Attempt at a Solution I'm not sure how to go about finding these congruence classes. I know that in the regular integers congruences classes mod x are...

Many high school and college students do not understand Mathematics and/or Physics. Based on the schools I have attended, I have observed that Physics is taught from a textbook perspective, with a lab class full of nifty experiments that do not conclusively prove anything. I believe we have...

Here's the deal: I'm currently a sophomore in high school and I need to choose my classes for junior year. I've made a thread like this, but I'm addressing a newer issue here. I'm taking AP Physics B this year and that is the only AP/Honors class I have taken so far. Here's what I've...

I'm a senior in college that just switched from a Bio major to a Math major. In the fall, I'll be taking: Discrete Math Number Theory Electrodynamics & Kinetic Theory Piano Speech I have a summer to prepare for the two math classes and one physics class. Do you have any tips on things...

would it be a bad idea to take these three math classes together for next fall semester (Fall 'o7) Number Theory Ordinary Differential Equations Introduction to Real Analysis I have heard good things about every one of the teachers, So I cam confident the teaching will be good. My...

Don't take one from this guy. This link has been around for a while, but this may be a good time for a refresher view.

So I have decided to take some electrical engineering classes. I am a physics major and am pretty certain that I want to study physics at graduate school as well. I will be able to finish almost all of the required physics major courses by the end of my sophomore year. I want to take some EE...

Does anybody else here find that their physics classes - while providing an acceptable working understanding of the maths involved, don't treat the mathematics with enough rigorousness for their students to be able to understand other discussions on the subject? I ask because I'm quite often...

I am a double major in EE and physics. I have taken all of the courses required of me (calc 1-3, DiffEQ, advanced engineering math, prob/stats) and I am considering taking 3 more math classes for a mth minor. I am looking at taking linear alg (of course), advanced calculus, and PDE...

Hey everyone. I'm getting ready to register for spring classes, and I'd like to get some opinions on some things. First off, I'm a sophomore in Electrical Engineering, and I plan on going to grad school for a masters. I talked to my advisor the other day, and we discussed projects he's working...

Hi, I'm trying to teach myself QFT, and I'm stuck with one formula in Part I of Weinberg's trilogy. I think I managed to understand how one gets Formula 2.B.7 in the appendix of Chapter 2, thanks to the information provided by Weinberg, but don't get 2.B.10, page 97. Could anyone one give me a...

I am in Aerospace Engineering and I am about ready to schedule for classes next semester. I was thinking about taking Calc 3, Physics 1, Thermodynamics, Auto Cad, and probably something else. As I have been looking at this I am thinking it will be a tough semester. I might think about...

I'm currently attending the University of Minnesota in the evenings, waiting for my wife to finish her Ph.D. I plan on going back for a B.S. in engineering, but I haven't picked a field yet. I'm currently taking Calc II, and have the following classes left to take before I start full time...

Show that the elements in a conujgacy class of a finite group all have the same order cl(a) = {xax^-1|x in G} G is finite G = {e,g1,g2,...,gm} cl(g)={e,c1,c2,c3,...,cn} finite for n =< m Then |e| | n , |c1| | n, |c2| | n, |cn| | n Well C1 =xgix^1 for some gi. any hint?

What is the "organic chemistry" class in math? Is real analysis considered by many to be this type of class? In your opinion, what have been your easiest/most difficult math classes (in ascending order)? Any feedback is appreciated Thanks

Hey everyone, I am a recently declared Physics major which means that this next year is going to be the year I start to really get involved with Physics. I am taking Introduction to Quantum Physics, Introduction to Astrophysics, and Differential Equations and Gen Chem I. I was also...

I was trying to understand how structs differ from classes in c++ and I came across this: http://carcino.gen.nz/tech/cpp/struct_vs_class.php I was wondering.. when would you choose to use a struct in c++ rather than a class?

9th grade teachers: "Kids, write a thesis that specifically states 3 different supporting topics" 10th grade teachers: "Write a thesis that is three-pronged, is factual, and supports the main point of the paper" And, happy new school year, all! What do I get in 11th grade English...

I will be attending Western Washington University this fall and just signed up for my first quarter classes today! Fortunately, I passed the AP Physics exam with a 3 so I was able to get a credit for that, and passed the Advanced Math Placement Test, and so was able to get into Calculus. My...

I am interested in DSP, for the coming semester, I can only take one signal processing class, and I have two choices that I am not exactly sure what they really are: 1) Statistical Signal Processing: Detection theory and hypothesis testing. Introduction to estimation theory. Properties of...

I am just trying to seek opinions from professional simply because my maths advisor said he doesn't know much about that field. I am trying to get into financial maths/financial engineering/computational financial program after my B.S in maths next year. According to my assumed timetable, I...

I have only 1 day to work on my lab. Hope someone could help me as soon as possible. My problem is I don't know how to count how many objects are created in a class. The first assignment is write a Java class, Student, that has the following instance variables: name (String), age (int), gpa...

So it's about time to enroll in classes for the fall semester, and I've finally gotten to the point where I can actually choose my physics classes (instead of falling a specific track of classes). It looks like my choices are: 1) Physical measurements, the advanced laboratory class. I have to...

Hey guys, I'm about to go to college this fall. For my degree, the first math class is Calc 1. I know I'm not ready for it so what classes should I take in the summer? I didn't take a math class my senior year in high school (I didn't take Pre-Calc). So I know I need to catch up. I have 3...

Right now I'm in high school. I want to major in EE and get my BSEE, but I'm not sure what exact classes/minors/concentrations to take to be successful in the workforce. What I really want to do is design circuits for motherboards, cpus, gpus, and basically any microelectronic on a computer, but...

i have talked to at least two people who have said they they have/will retake all the AP/college courses they took in high school at whatever university they are going to. one friend plans on retaking calculus (from 1) because, supposedly, it will be under better teachers. he also says...

Hey guys, I have one more summer left before I graduate with a BSEE. I am about 99.9% certain that I want to go right to graduate school when I graduate. My question is: During the summer, should I take a few electives that I really want to take or should I focus on getting an internship...

hi, i took calc 3 and differential equations. that was about a year ago and i vaguely remember what that's about. I'm thinking about electrical engineering and i heard from many that its math intensive. can someone tell me exactly what math is involved? i've been told to look into classes...

Could anyone help to show that if n is odd then the set of all n-cycles consists of two conjugacy classes of equal size in A_n? Thx

I hope that is the right forum to post to. What follows may seem like it has more to do with economics than engineering but that is not the case: the economics is straightforward but the engineering may not be. In long-range passenger flights there are 3 classes: 1st, business, and economy...

I've been reading ZapperZ's thread "I have so-and-so degree, can I get into Physics?", and I've been thinking what classes I should definitely take so that the qualifier doesn't kick me out of graduate school. I'm in a EE and physics dual degree program, which doesn't require as many physics...

Here is a fun problem, it's hard to write out clearly, but I'll try to do it w/ little confusion. Is it, or is it not true that (2^2^...^2)(n times)=(2^2^...^2)(n-1 times) mod n so for example, when n=2, 2^2=2 -> 4=2 mod 2.

How do you all stay awake through your boring classes? Every year that's my problem. Maybe it's just me but I can't focus too well when I'm falling asleep.:smile: Is that normal? lol.

It's used to remember the order from brightest (hottest) stars to the dimmest (coldest stars). I remember that it starts with Oh,... then in the middle it maybe be: " Be It A Fine..." Boy/Girl, Kiss Me! So the order is like O ... B G K M It's driving me nuts; please help me!

What are GCE A Levels classes? Can anyone tell me what GCE A Levels are? Thank you.

im a sophomore in high school, and am being offered a good number of ap and dc classes (some of which they have waived prerequisets for so they may be alittle trickey) i plan on taking as many as possible, and I am sure youll get questiones about my homework once in a whie... but, how usefull is...

This is my schedule for my Junior year: American History Honors English III Honors Precalculus Honors Probability and Statistics Yearbook Honors Physics Honors AP Psychology I think I'd like to switch out of Yearbook to take Computer Programming, but I'm not sure if that would make me...

I am considering switching from a chem/physics dual to a physics/math dual, and for the math degree I need to take intro to database systems and computer science 1. Are the computer science classes necessary in a math curriculum? This is insane. Maybe they will waive those classes and let me...

I have not been able to find the quantum constant force problem in the various QM texts that I have checked. I am certain it was not covered in any of the classes I took. Why is that? I would think it would be next thing covered after free particles.

Next semester I need to take Math history and Math for Secondary Teachers, which I think will be quite easy. But I am also looking into taking Advanced Calculus, Modern Algebra, and Mathematical Stats/Prob. As math electives and to get into the MS Pure Math program. Descriptions...

I'm having some problems planning the next few semesters. I'll be taking full loads, 18 units of engineering(EE)/computer science (minor) classes. One thing is bugging me, a comp science class that I don't need for the minor but requires 3 pre-requesites: philosophy: symbolic logic, linear...

So, I'm just picking some classes for next semester. What i have so far: Math 300 - Fundemental Concepts of Math (proofs and stuff mostly it seems) Math 421- Complex variables (basically calc with complex variables..) Physics 181- Mechanics Theater 100- intro to theater Comp Lit...

I just want to make sure that I am doing this right or if I am on the right track. To find a map f :R ---> R so that ker f ={(x,y): x^4=y^4} pi_R: (x,y) ---> {(x,y): x^4=y^4} pi_R: x ---> {R(x): x^4 is an element in X} pi_R: Y ---> {R(y): y^4 is an element in Y} Define f: R x R --->...

I would like to go to medschool. but for now, i am interested in being a math major. Also i need to do some research, not this summer, but the next, which would be after my junior year. I'd like to do research in something computational, but related to biology. What could you tell me about...
