/sci/ - Science & Math

Precalc? Are you in your first or second semester OP?

>>6209801

I had to do remedial Math because I hadn't taken Math in years. I'm 25. Yes, I know it's a long shot, but I'd rather try and fail then never try and always wonder.

>>6209801
>>6209804

I'm entering my 5th semester.

>>6209808

Damn, dude. You still need Calculus I, II, III, and Linear Algebra. I'm guessing CC's are full semesters, so you will be taking them longer. If you pass Pre-Calculus, try and see if you can transfer to a university on a quarter system. It will be quicker, but a university will also be harder.

>>6209819

Most universities in California are impacted for the major I want. I'd have a better chance of getting into the university if I were to pass those classes in a CC. I doubt they'll accept me anyway.

MWF 12-12;50 Ordinary Differential Equations
MWF 1-1;50 Five British Authors
MWF 2-2;50 The Art of Fiction

MW 5;30-6;45 Introduction to Java Computer Programming
M 7-8;15 Computer Programming Laboratory

Maths major, picking up a physics minor semester after next

>>6209804
Well that sucks but good luck I guess OP. I'm finishing up Calc III at my CC this semester. I will hopefully be taking diff eq next semester if they get enough people to run the course. It seems like they will cancel it if they can't get 10 people to sign up. I might do their electronic engineering technology program. I've heard people have gotten decent jobs from it and some of the employers have paid for people to complete their bachelor's degree.

I plan to transfer to some local university I haven't determined yet to do Electrical Engineering. I thought about Physics but I think I'll like EE just as much and it is a lot more employable. I'd like to do Physics for specialization in materials science and nanotechnology but I can do it later. Or double maybe.

Couldn't get into any of my Computer Science classes...

>Intro to Higher Math (fucking required at my school)
What even is that?

>>6209927
some retarded bullshit class where you learn how to read, write, derive proofs, as well as learn a little bit about set theory.


It's required for Linear Algebra, and any of the 4000+ level math courses.


It's definitely something you need to know, I just don't know why we can't learn it on our own as we take the real courses.

>>6209938
See I have an Intro to Proofs course that's required, but at least that one's straightforward,

I learned a little bit of set theory DURING Linear Algebra, that's kind of ridiculous

>>6209975
I don't know what credit hours are. Britbong here. I didn't take any optional modules last term so I kind of screwed myself over but I can still drop one module if I can't cope.

>>6209982
that's basically how many hours of class you attend a week, and most schools recommend 2 hours of studying per credit hour.


It just looks like you have a rediculous amount of classes

>>6209991
Yeah, 31 hours of classes (including supervisions) I really haven't thought this through.

>>6209973
Interesting choice of double major lol

>>6209994
welll good fucking luck, man.

Here in clapistan we usually only take 15-20 hours

Biology Major. Gonna be graduating in Spring.

>>6210001
It's hilarious seeing the looks I get when I tell people that.

I just have a passion for both Chemistry and Theatre so I figured why the hell not do both? I only need 8 classes for the Theatre major and since I got to a school that makes you take a stupid amount of gen eds, I can easily fit in the Theatre major along side my Chemistry classes.

I plan on going to med school anyways, so my choice of major doesn't mean shit. In fact, my choice makes me stand out pretty well. Which is great for me.

>>6210050
I'm getting my math and physics and harder weed out chemistry classes out of the way now and saving most of my theatre classes for my junior year when I planned on studying for the MCAT.

Still need one more class. Comp sci major here.

How in the world do you guys get a Chemistry class? Seriously, I've been trying to get into Chemistry 101, but it's already filled up, waitlist full, and closed by the time my registration appointment activates.

I have been studying mathematics but they wont be offering a set of classes i need next year so it would take another 2 years to get that degree if i stayed here. So i am switching over to physics. Gonna get this degree then finish up the math degree somewhere. Aiming for grad school so not worried about it.
My schedule:

Physics 3 intro to modern physics
Physics 4 classical mechanics
Chaos
Thermodynamics
Partial differential equations

>>6210118
How big of a college do you go to?

Our chemistry lectures through orgo have about 500 people each in a particular section. You can just show up the first day of lecture and just ask the professor to put you in their class. Just be sure to email them first though.

>>6210100
ummm....what school is that?

I am currently doing a Bio major, and I plan to try to go to med school. I heard some people saying biochem was more useful as a degree because you can do more than just med school with it. Should I try to go for biochem? Problem is that I would be behind in courses since I was originally going for a straight Bio major and would have to take both Bio and Chem next semester and would be up to 19ish credits in total.

What a fucking shit schedule. I don't even live on fucking campus. The good news is I'll have plenty of time and no excuse to not do my work on time for once.

>>6210507
I don't know enough about physics to know quite what I want to specialize in yet (and my physics classes have been pretty babby level thus far) but I'm hoping I'll get a better feel for what I'm interested in when I transfer to a school with an actual physics department.

>>6210509
Diff EQ ain't bad at all. Lots of basic calculus and a touch of Linear Algebra but it's pretty easy.

>>6210509
Yup. I'll be shaking with caffeine come finals week next semester.

I took ODEs & Linear Algebra over the summer, and Waves & Optics this past semester. In my opinion, ODEs was really fucking cool, and it might be helpful for Waves since you're taking them concurrently. If you're taking PDEs even better, because it'd be Fourier series, which is exactly what you do in waves. Linear Algebra is boring but useful. Waves I thought was relatively easy. I don't know about the other ones.

Hey /sci/, this guy here.

As you can see from the above post, my schedule is packed on Monday and Wednesday. This was done to a]void rush hours of traffic, because I commute, and need to save as much gas as possible. However, I've just learned that I can move my Prob an CS classes to Tuesday and Thursday from 12;30 to 5;15, which would make the daily work much easier at the risk of throwing my TuTh commute home a right bitch. Have any /sci/ people commuted to school for long? Is a shorter schedule worth a harder commute, and going more days a week?

Thinking about the end goal

If I mess up on something, I'll keep trying at it until I get it right. If I feel defeated, I just have to keep thinking of why I'm taking these classes in the first place (to get a job in a field I'm interested in).

>>6212741
The fuck? You can minor in an engineering discipline at your school?

And what does "Quantum Physics" even mean? Baby's first wave mechanics course, or three dimensional time dependent Schrodinger equation?

>>6212753
I'm >>6212750

I really care about my major, even if I ever choose to leave the education field I think science education is really important when it comes to having perspective on the world.

Find ways to care about what you are learning, study on the quiet parts of your library if you can, just keep yourself working.

Look into metacognitive studying techniques. If you discipline yourself into following a certain routine it can pay off. I take the time to schedule myself the time to sit down and study for at least a few hours every day, and I try my best to always at least preview the next section in class.

>>6212753
I failed / dropped out of school.

Working a shit, but highly specialized, job 50-60 hours a week and not having enough to make rent in the bad part of town will provide you with all the motivation you need.

Also, make sure you are studying something fun. For me, this means hard. I started to really love physics because of that and because it informs me of how the universe works in a way that only a tiny percentage of people understand (and how cool is that?).

>>6212763
Yea, I >>6212762
took a year off to get settled down in my universities town. Making myself a slave to my job was a bitch, but I had to to keep getting full time hours. Working manual or untrained labor is the biggest reality check you can have.

>>6212753
I'm doing this because I know that in the end I will be able to support my family and my mother will no longer have to worry about rent. Poor-fag over here. I cannot fail. Failure is not an option for me. I tell myself that every morning. Fear of failure is what keeps me motivated to be the best that I can possibly be.
