/sci/ - Science & Math

Hopefully Calc 2 will go easier since you already had it. Just don't get cocky and quit paying attention since you just learned it.

Are your physics/chem classes for the major? Because the ones "for everyone," as far as I've been able to see, have way lighter courseloads. So, that's a factor.

Next Semester:

analysis 2, algebra 2, pde's, problem solving thing, and a bullshit online gen ed to meet scholarship unit requirements.

>>5271782
Yeah, this is what I'm hoping. I'm going to try actually doing the problem sets this time around and acing it.

>>5271790
They are the major-specific classes, but they are required for transferring (CC-fag here). Are you majoring in something math-related? Some of those all look like upper div courses I'll be taking in a few years.

>>5271811

I'm a math major. If either of those major-specific classes is a weed-out class, be ready to do way more work than should really be necessary. Other than that, it sounds fine.

Not nearly as fun as the semester when you get onto upper div math courses though!

>three sciences
>GE
>chem
lol prepare your anus

if you got a D in calc 2 over the summer your fucked. I got an A in calc 2 no problem and now doing two maths+science is brutal

complex analysis II (independent)
galois theory
some more algebra
asian cities something LOL

yolo

>>5271831
Ohboy. Looking forward to that! I've peeked at a few books for those courses, and they're honestly terrifying.

In the meantime, I'm trying to ramp up the rigor of my classes so it's not as much of a shock when I start taking some more difficult stuff.

>>5271862
Which two maths?

Has anyone here done something like Calc II/III and DE/LA (combined class here) during the same semester? Would that just be asking for terribad grades?

Chem II
Cell biology
Physics for Engineers I
Calc. I
Comp. Methods/Problem solving in Engineering

17 Credit hours of math/sci, my anus is ready

Linear Algebra (first year)
Rings and Fields
Introduction to Real Analysis
Mathematical Statistics
Linear Algebra (third year)

>>5271875
yep. I think calc III/la/de in one semester is okay. A lot of the material is shared through the courses, which you'll start to see a lot of in math. In DE you'll see many of the theorems are proved by using things from LA. In calc III, you're concerned a lot with vectors, which again you'll learn all about in LA.

Genetics
Organism Biology
Organic Chem II
Calculus II

you should be fine if your not working

>>5271775

That's the exact same schedule I had the second semester of my freshmen year.

It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.

You'll survive if you study.

Ordinary Differential Equations

Computational and Analytical Mechanics (Physics)

Intro to Rhetoric (I needed an easy class)


Physics major here, btw

>calc III
>diffeq
>enhanced OChem II
>physics I

People keep saying I'm committing suicide.

Opinions?

Graduate Real Analysis II
Graduate Linear Algebra I(will introduce hilbert space and functional analysis, etc)
Graduate Group Theory.
Set Theory.
Mathematical Logic(maybe, not sure if i want to take it).

I may say fuck the math logic course overall and take a grad-level quant mechanics course. The physics chair over here likes me and he said he'd just let me take it.

grad school is so fucking cool. i can literally go to any department and just sit in classes. shit is unreal. could never do that with undergrad.

Discrete Mathematics
Ordinary Differntiable Equations
Understanding Physics
Analytical Physics I (with review class)
English Comp II

Although I may drop Understanding Physics and start a late social science class or the other required English class. And I may try doing some summer classes as well.

To the OP: Calc II and Physics should be easy. Chemistry, however, can become very tedious and time consuming.

PChem (Thermo)
Advanced Inorganic chem
Cal III
Physics II
diffeq

To OP: One word of advice about CHEM.
ALL CHEMISTRY IS DONE WITH ELECTRONS.
Just remember this. and you will be fine.

My timetable for next semester:
Oh yeah, that's right, it's empty because I don't need to study anymore. Enjoy your pleb life while I make 300k starting. Guess my major if you can; It's so advanced I don't think you've even heard of it.

P.S. this isn't recess. If you throw shit around, you'll get shit thrown back at you. By shit, I mean stuff that isn't discussion regarding science or math. Gossiping over course schedule is not science, even if you happen to take baby's first math/physics course. You could easily have the same conversation with others over what course you're taking as a liberal arts major, hence why this isn't science-related.

>>5271898
definitely go with QM. I can't imagine they introduce anything new to you if you're in grad analysis.

>>5271775
Woo, get to look smart kind of.

Differential Geometry (2 semester course)
Advanced Multivariable Calculus (honestly don't even know what this class is about. Said something about Topology and I'm trying to get into the Geometric part of that field so I'm taking it).
Discrete Math (because I need hours)
Computer Science II (basic c++ intro, 2nd semester. doing it so I can be employable)
Intro to Astronomy (my snooze class that satisfies my last science credit for my BS degree)

I'm looking forward to next semester.

>>5271831
Oh yeah. Upper level math is the shit. No need for calculators any more, no more memorizing bull shit equations or trig identities, fewer idiots (but more aspies). Upper level math is the best.

>>5271892
Calc III and physics I are easy as hell. Dunno about your Diff Eq, mine was way easy as well. O Chem is a bitch, though. Straight fucking awful course, and the labs are awful. That will be what you spend all your time on.

>>5271941
I actually love OChem, that's why I took advanced.
Calc II has been interesting and pretty easy, I hear calc III is easier, my professor said I'd have an easy time with it but diffeq would be hard with science classes, but I think she may just be used to finance majors who don't have to take science classes.

I've actually never taken a physics course but I had never taken calc before college either and I got an easy A in calc I and I'll do it again this semester.

For what it's worth I want to minor in math and my major is chem.

>>5271962
>advanced
I meant enhanced, we don't have advanced OChem here, I'll be starting graduate OChem classes in fall 2013 to keep it going.

organic chem
fluid dynamics
process calculations
mechanics of solids

#engineering

College Writing 2
World Geography
Precalculus
Spanish 1

Baby tier schedule, reporting in. Also, to OP. I'm taking Chem now. There's was a lot of new concepts introduced and a lot of information to memorize. It was like taking my AP highschool Psychology class all over again in regards to passing tests. The core concepts aren't too difficult to understand barring quantum numbers (which are only hard if you go into the Mathematical formula that the quantum numbers come from), just a lot of shit to memorize.

Strengths
Dynamics
Differential equations
Construction Management
Physics II

Does this seem like too much?

>>5271962
Yeah you'll do fine then. Don't worry about the math classes. Calc II is the toughest intro Calc class because of the integrals and memorizing all those stupid rules you probably won't ever see again, but other than that it's not so bad.

Diff Eq at my school was really really easy, but I have a problem now in Differential Geometry because I don't remember jack shit from that class. Luckily it's mostly simple Diff Eq that's needed, though. Just don't slack off. You can take any classes you want really, as long as you put some effort into it.

>>5271892
Most of that you'd be fine with, but OChem in tandem with those is suicide.

>>5271775
>Got a D in Calc II
expect it to be difficult then? If you suck at math...

I'm doing EE and your course load sounds like a breeze

>>5271962
Calc III was definitely the easiest of the 3. You're really just adding an extra dimension.

>>5271984
See
>>5271962

>>5271981
>differential geometry
Sounds like a math major/phyaics/engineering related course, are you a math major? What classes don't have practical application to understanding physics/chem? I love math but I don't have credit hours to waste.

>>5271888
What's your major??

Differential Equations
Number Theory
General Biology II
Evolution
Trying for Computer Science I...
And one more shit course

Trying to graduate in 3 years.

Communication Theory
Wireless Comunnications
Internet protocols / architecture
Economics
Corporate Finance and Financial Markets
Elementary Japanese

Will probably overwork myself

>>5271898
Grad school is where the fun begins.

>>5272002
Math Major yeah. Differential Geometry has practical application but I can't remember what it is right now. I'd say if you are doing physics and chem Diff Eq is pretty much it for chem, physics you're going to want to basically take a math major's load in addition to your physics classes. Vector and Complex Analysis are important, Vector more than Complex. I don't think Abstract Algebra and Discrete Math are to important unless you're into computer science. Some upper level courses that I can't speak for you on because they change from university to university are Partial Differential Equations (most likely to have), Differential Geometry (possible), there are some Topological fields that apply to Physics, but I don't know much about it.

That's all I can think of right now. Be sure to take all the Calculus you can, basically. Most other branches aren't to important to the physical sciences.

>>5272017
God damn I'm waiting for Grad School so impatiently. I just want to fast forward through the next year and a half so I can start already.

>>5272016
Well I have a meeting with my calc II professor tomorrow to start planning for my minor, I need 3 courses past diffeq to get it and there are only 2 advanced calc courses so I need one more, if you had to pick one class that was calc based what would you suggest?

Math majors - any experience taking undergrad statistics? It's the only math class in the department I won't be taking, should I consider it?

Physics II
Calculus II
General Chemistry II
Being a freshman is hella tight!

>>5272034
Statistics is useful for everyone and you should take it, if you don't have anything else on the subject.

Diff Eq
Physics II
Statistics
Word Lit I

Where do calc and stats mesh? Or would I have to take higher level stats for that?

>>5272050

calc should be a pre-req for probability/statistics I think, unless it's a babified class for business majors

Calc III
Intro to Dif Eqs
Physics 2 - Waves, E&M
Physics 2 - Waves E&M and measurement laboratory
Modern Physics

not taking a fifth course cause fuck it

>>5272016
differential geometry lays the foundation for general relativity pretty sure?

>what am I getting into

Pathophysiology II
Biochemistry II
Pharmaceutics II
Practice Management II

Genetics
Symbolic Logic

I wanted to take Pchem but I couldn't fit it in :/

>>5272077
Yeah it has to do with quantum physics I believe, and it definitely relates to General Relativity. We are supposed to go over some of Einstein's things next week or so I believe. I didn't go to class today (first one I've missed :/) but I'm pretty sure that's what he said last week.

>>5272027
For Physics what ever your school calls Advanced Multivariable Calculus. The course description for mine is as follows:
Topology of n-space; continuity, uniform continuity and uniform convergence; extremal problems; Taylor's theorem for multivariate functions; multiple integrals; transformations and their derivatives; implicit functions.

I'm taking that next semester and I'm sure it has applications to physics in Quantum and electromagnetic fields, as well as other parts of physics I'm ignorant of.

Partial Differential Equations is also important for engineering and physics, probably chemistry as well but I'm not sure.

Vector Analysis is a must. Complex Analysis is not. Also be sure you take Linear Algebra. It should be a pre-req for Vector any way.

Possibly an advanced Linear Algebra course, though that might get a little to pure.

What ever tickles your fancy.

>>5272034
Yeah stats is good for everyone. I haven't taken it, but my mom is an AP stats teacher and I help her with stuff so I basically have.

Calc 1. Thats it. Why? Because the registration system Fucking sucks in college. Lol random registration date based on ss #. Who the fuck came up with that? You could have top grades and going to school for years but nope no classes for you! You got a reg date that isnt the first two days, hope you like art appreciation cuz its the only class open! Enjoy that tuition on classes you dont need!

Next term:

Computational Fluid Dynamics
