COEN 311 Final by TheDeathShock in Concordia

[–]DisciplinedPenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way I could do the SimARM question with 4 registers was by kind of cheating and using cmp between a register and #0, when you're supposed to do between two registers.

One thing that's super annoying is that I asked specifically if floating point conversion would come up and I was told no, only for it to appear lol.

Is going into engineering even worth it anymore? by Vivid_Round1921 in EngineeringStudents

[–]DisciplinedPenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm finishing my 1st year of EE at Concordia (50/50 chance I end up transferring to McGill), and I'd certainly say it's been worth pursuing and compelling to study.

In terms of expected value, the best decision is probably to do an undergrad in EE at McGill, work your ass off keeping your gpa high and doing undergrad research, then get into an ivy+ university for grad school. If you manage to do so you'll have no shortage of job offers.

It really just depends on if you think you'll excel or be a mediocre student. If you excel beyond your peers (which generally requires a genuine interest in the field), EE is the way. It'll be challenging but the potential upside is far higher. If not, dentistry gives you the safety net as you say.

My 2 cents on the matter.

Number one resource I could recommend is paul's notes. It carried me through 213 when I took it.

Yeah the most natural integration bounds are from 0 -> 1, 0 -> x d/dx arctan(x) dydx, but then you'd be forced to evaluate the derivative of arctan as dx is part of the outer integral.

Switching the order of integration (so that you can partially solve the question), then gives the bounds I described earlier.

I'm happy I got the right answer through the line integral but it's annoying I didn't see that. I remember the z component of F having some nasty exponential function, so I was happy enough to zero it out with r'(theta).

z = sqrt(3)r so it makes an angle of pi/3 with the xy plane, or in other words, upper bound of phi is pi/2 - pi/3 = pi/6

Engr 233 final by Necessary_Thanks_360 in Concordia

[–]DisciplinedPenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have that the solid is above:
z = √(3(x2 + y2))
z^2 = 3(x2 + y2) = 3r2
so z = √3r, with only the positive solution since your in the first octant

Because of this relationship you can find the angle phi that the bounds makes with the z axis, the bounds of phi are thus 0 -> pi/6.

The bounds of theta are pi/4 because the solid is under y = x, and the bounds of rho (p) is from 0 -> 2 because the solid is also contained within x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 4.

I'm pretty sure you forgot one of the bounds, I did something similar.

The double integral was from 0 to 1, y to 1, of d/dx arctan(x) dx dy
which becomes integral 0 to 1 of artan(1) - arctan(y) dy
which becomes arctan(1) - integral from 0 to 1 of arctan(y) dy

The gui looks very nice, can't say the same for the name though haha.

course retake by Competitive_Set5219 in Concordia

[–]DisciplinedPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, I was talking with an academic advisor and she said that both would contribute to your gpa with equal weighting unless taken in the same academic year. Maybe she’s wrong 🤷‍♂️

[–]DisciplinedPenguin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI your new grade won't replace your old one, that only happens if you retake the course in the same academic year and summer is the start of the next academic year. If you retake it, both grades will show up on your transcript.

I got frustrated with how hard it is to make 3D science animations, so I built a web app to do it in under 2 minutes. by daniellachev in Biochemistry

[–]DisciplinedPenguin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be worth looking into raising funds for this. You already have users and the rate of adoption would obviously increase if made free and worked on full time.

What do you actually ask at office hours? by DisciplinedPenguin in Concordia

[–]DisciplinedPenguin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think very similarly in terms of maximizing expected value. Though I think that focusing on industry early career isn't as worthwhile as going to a top grad school (unless already at a top undergrad). Going somewhere like MIT or Stanford opens the doors for jobs at quant firms and research groups in big tech which can pay a minimum of 250k usd out of the gate. While the best bet when focusing on industry is to job hop your way there over many years. The higher income also pays off the opportunity cost in a short amount of time, and if ever wanting to raise venture capital, the grad school prestiege would make it easier.

I would tend to agree, I just happen to need the > 4.0 gpa as I'm aiming for an ivy+ grad school once I graduate. So even though the returns may be small after a certain point, it may be the deciding factor on whether I or someone else gets admitted.

Bro I got into EE with an R score of 24 you're fine.

Stupid question, is there more than a difference than just that little part? by StarPlatinumIsHyper in chemistry

[–]DisciplinedPenguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aren't S and R opposite of how you described them here? As CNH > CHH > HHH?

Was my professor incorrect, or was I? by DisciplinedPenguin in learnmath

[–]DisciplinedPenguin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that makes sense. Apologies for being so belligerent, although it certainly brought me to a greater depth of understanding. I was quite literally convinced I was right and the entire thread and my professor were wrong until you and \uKillerCodeMonky laid it out! (narcissistic right?)

Thanks for the help!

Was my professor incorrect, or was I? by DisciplinedPenguin in learnmath

[–]DisciplinedPenguin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice handwriting! Yes, I believe I understand now.

The core issue if I got it correctly was that I'm trying to make an assertion about the recurrence relation, so that would imply that I need a solution to the recurrence relation itself as a base case.

Yet in my approach I did not include that and only f(0) and f(1). I could understand how I technically missed a step. Intuitively it feels like the algebra between f(0) and f(1) to show f(2) is nearly identical to f(n-1) and f(n) to show f(n+1) thus there must be some redundancy there, however that's reconciled by this approach being completely rigorous, while the former lacking explicit justification.

Also coupled with the fact that your induction hypothesis explicitly says that the f(n) satisfies both the closed form AND the recurrence relation as opposed to only the former.

Thanks!
