he wont use them at all most likely
but those aren't usually considered advanced, especially the the level they will be using them if they did use them.

pdes could kinda be considered advanced in some sense? people still actively research them

if u understand the concepts the numbers rarely need crunching

>>11710642
Pdes are probably advanced if youre researching them how they work and all. If just using them in practice, well, I was using pdes for things for like 2 years before I realized pdes are what they are. Also I do shader code which is basically just creating a pde which when solved makes the intended graphics on screen

>>11710566
That's intermediate level math. And rarely you'll even need that.

I meant advance math for an engineer
Sure there are things like algebraic topology but it's never used in applied level

yeah working in real life is much less than what you learn

Engineers employed by municipalities don´t design railroad tracks.

When I was working at this company and were were making this remote thing we needed to do some DSP. The shit simlulink generated was too bloated. So we hand wrote DSP code which required quite “advance” math.
