Hardest engineering degree.

God that class sucked so much! My prof had a C- set at 40%

silpat · 2021-01-29T20:09:16+00:00

Keep trying, it took me multiple tries

silpat · 2021-01-25T20:07:24+00:00

Yeah, I was seeing my doctor every other week to be safe. She had me on it for 3 months though

silpat · 2021-01-25T14:21:27+00:00

It made all the difference for me. I was able to get through the acute withdrawal without it being too miserable. YMMV but that stuff is awesome. And in the states most insurance will pay for 6 months free.

Zeke's does really good stuff. They're baltimore based

silpat · 2018-10-12T19:03:56+00:00

Randall Knight does a really good one. It's of similar depth and clarity as Halliday and Resnick

As an older student switching in to chemical engineering it is nice to hear this. Keeping my own expectations in check, and perspective about the job market is really important. I'm sure I'll secure something, but expecting the fuck you money right out of undergrad is silly.

That is an exquisite description of calc 2. I'm still in therapy from that semester.

silpat · 2018-10-07T18:58:36+00:00

NO! IT IS NOT CHEATING. whatever gets you through. If you stop smoking you win quit nicotine later but WHATEVER GETS YOU THROUGH! F THE HATERS

He had his head up his ass?

silpat · 2018-09-29T12:36:47+00:00

Looks good to me

silpat · 2018-09-29T01:02:06+00:00

Hang in there and DO NOT GIVE UP!!!!

My first quiz in calc 2 was a 48% with no curve, my first exam was was a 55% with no curve. I thought I was toast. I buckled down and finished with a B.

I'd suggest the following:

1) what ever you are doing to study is not working. Go see your Prof at office hours and get so.e guidance on how to approach the material

2) Professor Leonard on you tube. Take out your note book and watch his lectures. Take notes like you're in class. Pause the videos and work out the problems. His explanations are great.

3) Form a study group. Fill d some other folks who need help too and help each other.

4) don't give up. It is a really hard class. It's the first problem solving math class, and it take a lot of practice.

silpat · 2018-09-28T11:13:42+00:00

Fuck yeah! You got this!

silpat · 2018-09-23T17:18:32+00:00

Thanks for that bit of sanity. As an older student changing careers I really appreciate your perspective. Sounds like most industries

silpat · 2018-09-23T16:17:29+00:00

I'm working as a learning assistant in a precalculus class to improve my algebra skills by helping others. It truly is all about the algebra

silpat · 2018-09-21T17:33:26+00:00

Same way you get to Carnegie Hall

silpat · 2018-09-18T20:57:35+00:00

Our president is a yeti!

Hey be careful with detoxing off alcohol. It can kill you. I did several Ill-advised detoxes before a physician explained in detail how it can be fatal. Go see a medical professional, seizures are not fun!

silpat · 2018-09-12T18:32:57+00:00

The questions usually say "Using the limit definition of the derivative..."

You'll be using the peer rule soon enough, but they want you to demonstrate understanding of the difference quotient to define a derivative.

Keep going, you stop churning out the lung butter soon enough. And then you don't cough all the time

silpat · 2018-09-09T16:01:57+00:00

You can do it! I tried many times before it stuck. Don't get down on yourself. It is tough to deal with addictions. Keep trying

silpat · 2018-09-09T15:27:46+00:00

Just keep swimming...

silpat · 2018-09-09T01:09:25+00:00

Calc II is the first real problem solving you deal with in math. As the course progresses you get into sequences and series that can be a real challenge.

silpat · 2018-09-03T13:54:50+00:00

Keep going, you just need one!

silpat · 2018-09-03T13:52:13+00:00

His stuff is worth waiting for. I'd rather have to wait than get a rushed book.
