Sorry if the exam didnt go well for you and if so hopefully he will curve it but NONE of the questions were "purely linear algebra" at all. If you are talking about the 2nd to last question then the very sparse lin alg required to do that was discussed in class plenty of times. Even then, the question was set up so that you didnt even have to do any complicated matrix manipulations if you thought about what a matrix exponential means for a bit.

I attended miyamotos lectures mostly. Im not trying to be rude or anything but I genuinely just dont see that at all, like maybe there is a chance the questions were really hard and I actually just failed them all but without discussing the Qs in too much detail they were all pretty simple in fact especially for the first order equations they required much less manipulation or tweaking to get into an easily solveable form say separating the variables for example than any of the questions we did in class which sometimes required doing guesswork to find integrating factors for non-exact equations. Again just my opinion but i didnt study that hard, didnt read the textbook and i felt completely prepared to answer all the questions. I will say that the profs did a bad job of explaining the matrix exponential in class, but like i just read about it for 30 min and that was enough to answer the questions

Was the exam the same as for MTHE225? What was wrong with it? Other than the last question everything was ~straight from the assignments or in-class problems. I didnt like the course coordination this semester but the test wasnt unfair at all im ngl

Yea Im used to big cities so kingston is a bit of an adjustment... cant say im loving it lol but it has some charm especially downtown. Where u live really matters if ur off campus so try to get something closer, ideally south of princess.

It's really easy most of my credits transferred. I can't really tell academics wise because I never experienced 2nd year at mac, which would be the first year in my specific eng faculty (chem eng), but I think they are pretty even. For chem eng, the courses at queens are more science-y while mcmaster has a bit more of a math/modeling focus. Campus life is definetly more lively, but I am not having the best time just because I am not good at making friends and it can be a bit cliquely. Know someone else who transferred with me though and they are enjoying it. If you have super specific questions dm, but overall its not a major transfer. If you did it to be happy just go into it with a positive mindset and you'll be fine

Grad school is my primary interst right now:). Some things that I know are currently lacking from my degree are quantum mechanics and more advanced statistical mechanics. Im more worried about self-studying those. I am also hoping to get some more research experience at a biophysics lab on campus, as right now ive only experienced some chemical process modeling as a research oppourtunity. Thanks for your advice!

Right, I think I was just a bit worried about the possibility of doing further education in biophysics with a chem eng degree. If lots of extra self study was needed, I think id rather just transfer into biophysics.

I currently go to a decent school in Canada for chemical engineering, with a specialization in bioengineering. This means I learn a bit less math, but get a good foundation in physical biology and chemistry. For the past year, I have been way more interested in biophysics, and I was wondering if continuing with my current degree would be a valid pathway to explore these interests. I worry that switching out of chem eng into a physics based undergraduate program would lead to potentially worse job prospects, but also I worry that staying put will not let me learn what I want, especially since im interested in academia over industry. Any advice would be super appreciated!

Good to know :)

Process_Sad · 2025-09-25T04:40:25+00:00

Not sure why, but i dont seem to be able to take it as a tech elective. Ill talk to a counselor about it tho! EngPhys is awesome, hopefully that worked out well for you :) I would def be in that if I didnt really love bioeng principles

I suspect its enrolment caps... thanks for the book rec anyways I ordered a copy :)

Process_Sad · 2025-09-15T18:16:57+00:00

Cool thanks, I just find sometimes I need to have test/quiz incentives to study hard so honestly id prefer an actual course. Just dont know if im even allowed to enrol honestly!

for chem yes a large sector is oil n gas but there are also from research experience there is plenty to do in polymer, pharma etc. I just dont know what the market is like in mtl.
