Programs Math for Engineering Minors: Diff. Eq. + Difficulty?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the requirements for obtaining a math minor while pursuing an electrical engineering degree at Fenn College of Engineering. The original poster inquires about the additional math courses needed beyond differential equations and the difficulty of that class. Responses highlight that the specific requirements for a math minor vary by institution, with some schools requiring advanced courses (3000 level or higher) that the poster's completed classes do not fulfill. It is advised to consult the college's math minor program coordinator or an academic adviser for personalized guidance. Additionally, the poster seeks clarification on whether they will receive a physical degree upon graduation, which is confirmed to depend on the school's policies.

I am currently an electrical engineering major at Fenn College of Engineering. I passes calculus 1 with b and calculus 2 with b and calculus 3 with a and linear algebra with A. Also took pre calculus if that counts. How much more math I need for minor besides differential equations? Also is that class difficult ?

Thanks
 
Physics news on Phys.org
also forgot to ask, will I physically get a degree like graduates get from college ?
 
It depends on your school. For example, in my school, none of those classes would count towards a math minor. You need 18 hours of 3000 level or higher math classes, and all of the classes you mentioned are 1000 or 2000 level.
 
As Monocles said, it really depends on your school. For example, for my math minor I need to take 5 classes (15 hours) out of my curriculum, which happened to be PDEs, Non-Linear Dynamics, Complex Variables, Probability, and Analysis I. Contact the person at your college who is in charge of the math minor program, or contact your adviser if you don't know what that is, and ask him/her about it.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
