/sci/ - Science & Math

>>9801321
I doubt those courses have any real substance after they went through content culling for CS brainlets.

>>9801326
They're not tailored to CS students, fucktard

>>9801329
Then prepare to fail

>>9801339
Already passed.

>>9801321
Are you an Aussie? Down under they call CS "CpE" and CpE "CS".

>>9801321
Because it apart of any good program.

>>9801321
>Calling Physics 1, Mechanics
>Calling Physics 2, Electromagnetism

I hate it when plebs do this.

>>9801329
Tailored for premeds and geoscience majors. Still the brainlet version.

>>9801379
>Physics 1 and Physics 2 are universally the same courses
>t. brainlet

>>9801321
To design own wifi and fans.

>>9801374
>that's not shit
>bio

>>9801374
>personal grooming and hygiene

> tfw engineer (industrial)
> had to take physics I and calc I and II

For what fucking purpose

>>9801382
Premeds and bio students take general physics, CS take calc based physics dumbass.

>>9801706
>calc based physics

If you call your physics course "calc based bro", then you're a fucking retard anyway.

CS was a mistake.

>>9801697
> tfw gender studies (feminist dance therapy)
> had to take real analysis and algebraic topology

For what fucking purpose

>>9801341
if youre good enoigh tp pass, then why not change to an equally employable but more challenging subject? are you just lazy?

>>9801692
Here's the textbook.

>>9801401
They are, at 80% of the schools they use
>1st semester: Young and Freedman' University Physics Vol 1 or Halliday, Resnick, and Krane Physics Vol 1
>2nd semester: Young and Freedman' University Physics Vol 2 or Halliday, Resnick, and Krane Physics Vol 2

>>9801321
In case you are dropped off in an island somewhere and you need to build a calculator out of coconuts.

>>9801321
Same reason engineers and scientists are required to take a CS class. The idea is that they can all speak each other's lingo well enough to communicate and work together. In the case of CS, the engineers and scientists learn to talk slower, louder, and use enthusiastic and expressive hand gestures to convey what they need from the CS major.

>>9801321
>implying computers function without mechanics or electromagnetism

>>9801743
I fucking write code I don’t build the computer dumbass that’s like saying I need to take chemistry as well because computer chips are made out of advanced materials with special properties

>>9801754
*mechanically pats your head*

>>9801758
Please don't excite the monkeys.

>>9801710
That's literally what it's calles at my school but I'll make sure to talk to them to change the name cause some triggeres autistic math/physics major on an anime boars said so.

Inb4 "hurr durr you must go to a brainlet school" just shut up and get me fries with that drink

>>9801717
>are you just lazy?
Yes
I studied to pass, not to actually learn physics

>>9801321
It’s so you’re fucking literate in the basics of a natural science. Why would you object to obtaining more knowledge?

College isn’t your vocational school. CS only has value as a degree with a lot of math. You learn how to write good code by yourself. You learn how to solve hard problems in class. The science is more background knowledge.

t. CS and math double major

>>9801780
Holy shit are you me? Literally every argument you've made is exactly my same thoughts.

>>9801785
Cause fuck you that's why.

>>9801797
You’re the people they make fun of on this board. I love writing good code for interesting problems and all that, but cmon dude, don’t object to knowing more math and science. It always comes in handy.

>>9801798
I object to listening to your dumbass, and the only thing that comes in handy is the one your mom gives me.

>>9801729
How do you know this? Do you just go around asking people?

I was a Computer Engineering major and I had to take the same classes OP did, and also some extra EE classes. I'm so happy. Even if I'm a useless brainlet, at least I know enough statistics, ODE, calculus, and statistics to learn modern physics without having to constantly regress to a simple math or physics lesson. Thank you University. I'm well rounded! I'm not a code monkey!

>>9801772
You must go to a brainlet school then, brainlet.

>>9801809
Lmao have fun getting confused with your graphics manuals

Your shitposting isn’t very good

>>9801831
So what do you actually do if you're not just a code monkey?

>>9801833
Oh dude you got me! Really though, how about those fries?

>>9801838
I'll have fun with your mom, and don't worry it gets pretty graphic in bed.

>>9801710
>being this brainlet
There are 2 physics, the one for non-STEM majors which is algebra based and the one for STEM majors which is calc based.

>>9801851
Right now I'm doing code monkey stuff part time, but I'm starting a job in August where I'll be doing security research. I'm also going through some physics books on my own until then. I know quantum mechanics isn't the cutting edge it used to be and it's cliche, but I've been having fun learning it. I wouldn't be able to understand most of it if it wasn't for statistics and ODE classes.

>>9801885
Where do I get a part-time code monkey job? I've never heard of such a thing. Is it an internship?

>>9801898
My school got a grant to run some kind of security lab. A friend of mine works there, got asked by his boss if he knew anyone good, and recommended me. It's a summer job.

I've also gotten a job on campus just replying to something on a notice board.

I assume most labs are desperate for people who can actually program instead of just poke at Matlab or Java a bit.

>>9801898
>Where do I get a job?
Ask your professors about undergraduate research.
Check notice boards.
Ask your friends for connections.
Go to relevant events.

>>9801814

The syllabuses are all online for most schools.

>>9801919
Right, but why do you check?

>>9801915
>go outside and talk to people

>>9801717
disgusting. Is all of /sci/ like this poster?

I took cs because I love it, fucktard. Not every one is an empty soul like you.

also OP, I had electromagnetism too and it was an easy A. Also had 4 calculus courses, but calculus is actually usefull is CS. electromagnetism, not so much.

>>9801960
before i picked a school to go to i checked researched all my most probable options and decided on the school that had curricula that i thought suited me the most. do people actually blindly pick a school lol?

>>9801976
What does this have to do with my post?

>>9801922

To satisfy my "is the grass greener" curiosity after graduating.

>>9801980
whoops
>>9801922

>>9801976
The choice of school probably doesn't matter that much unless you're a grad student trying to do specific research.

>>9801981
Any other interesting things you noticed?

>>9801374
What about this one?

>>9801374
>The incel program

>>9801321
so you can pretend you are an engineer or something

>>9801717
>more challenging subject

Can you guys just shut the fuck up with your unjustifiable, illogical CS hate? It's literally no less challenging than any other STEM field. Most of us would argue that CS is close to pure math.

But sure, let's hate CS because "durr hurr code monkeys!!!!one"

See you in 5 years when I'm doing machine learning research and you're working at Starbucks because your physics BS isn't marketable, you fucking retard.
