Tl;dr power systems prof had a problem with her thesis, the best EEs in the nation couldn't solve it for a month, mathematian solves it in 10 minutes.

Ffs Im seriously thinking about switching majors after hearing that, wtf is the use of an EE if a fucking mathematitian can take a shit whilst solving our hardest problems?
Im very fucking seriously considering dropping EE and starting over with math. Not even memeing

It's actually really easy anon, I had finals earlier this week.

I could have shitposted before finals, but here I am shitposting after. It's that easy, go do your fucking homework or you will end up as a technician.

Nice response, clearly you don't have any you fucking brainlet.

Depends on why you want to study math. If you are asking if it is too late to take a serious dive into mathematics out of a desire to understand mathematics. Then I would say it is most certainly not too late. While your situation is certainly not the norm, there exist many examples of mathematicians who started their dive late into life. Here's a link to a website which has a post that is just a long list of different mathematicians who started very late in life and still went on to produce mathematical works and/or study math to an advanced level.

If I had to say what should be the number one factor in deciding whether or not you want to pursue math, it would probably be your ability to understand abstract concepts as well as your determination and persistence in learning them. Both of these qualities are, more likely than not, going to be what determines whether you stay within math or drop it. Questions over whether or not you have an arbitrarily high enough IQ to study math (as it, at most, should only tell you the amount of work you are gonna have to put into it) shouldn't really be what deters you from studying mathematics.

Not a "career path" thread is swear, but is going to some shitty state school for a bachelors in pure math (a meme degree I know I know) and THEN going to a respected and prestigious school for Master's and Doctorate smart, or brainlet-tier? This school I'm in right now is kinda shit (It takes 4 fucking semesters before you even touch linear algebra, instead you are forced for the first 3 to go through the calc sequence) but I think it's worth it over going 50,000 in debt just for a bachelors from a good school in what is already known as a meme degree.

>tfw taking calc II a second time
>At the start of the year the teacher said he had to retake it

If you have never taken a course where you have done your best and still failed you have never pushed your intellectual limits.

If Einstein had been a "premed" or "prelaw" faggot cuck padding his GPA with soft courses instead of taking physics, we would all be poorer, and some of us would not have even been born.

Challenge yourself you fucking faggot.

brainlet detected

If it was possible to modify your body (brain) so that you're stronger and more intelligent, what's wrong with that?

Surely other people would do it and get ahead of you, won't they?

Could someone explain why American universities teach first year content that would usually be taught in European secondary education.

Would I be stupid to take a full time class load in the summer? I'm finishing my "second" year of college (chose mechanical engineering this year) and I'm pretty behind course-wise

The classes would last for 2 months, each one 5 days a week.

The courses I may take are
Calculus III
Mechanics of materials
Thermofluids
Electromechanical systems


How feasible would it be to take all of these and pass with good grades? I won't be working if I do it

Any tips?
