AI Thread Summary
Focus on trigonometry, algebra, and geometry for pre-calculus tutoring, as these are essential for aspiring electrical engineers. Emphasize trigonometric concepts, including identities and Pythagorean theorem applications. Include rudimentary matrix algebra, particularly for solving simultaneous equations. Ensure the student gains fluency in converting polar to rectangular coordinates. Mastery of these topics will provide a solid foundation for further studies in electrical engineering.

Hey all, I'm a part time math tutor, and have an aspiring EE as one of my clients. What kind of things should I focus on at the (pre-)calc level?
thanks!

Trigonometry, algebra, geometry. Particular trig.
 
thanks! any more suggestions?
specifics?
 
rudimentary matrix algebra , esp as applied to solving simultaneous equations

and i second the vote for trigonometry, pythagoras, trig identities
he'll need fluency in polar to rectangular conversion.. (which in my day was by slide-rule)

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
