Question: What kind of math does a civil engineer use in his/her career?

>> No.1428772

idk what?

>> No.1428771

The hard kind

>> No.1428778

statics

>> No.1428790

Calculus = double integrals for calculating the heat expansion of asphalt at varying temperatures.

Sum of the Forces = 0.

interesting you would say that since engineering majors at all serious schools all take differentials, multivariable and linear algebra.

>> No.1428847

>>1428778
statics, which is just alot of algebra and trig
calculus
probably differential equations too

>> No.1428858

>>1428829
Ok maybe they take up tp Cal 4 + some matrix shit

The Linear Algebra an engineer takes is fucking laughable (it is just matrix algebra), it is not the real linear algebra a mathenatican or physicist would take.

In any case all the math an engineer takes is still shit tier (plug and chug, procedural shit)

>> No.1428863

ODE, some partial diff, cal 1,2,3, matrices up the ASS

>> No.1428883

>>1428858
To an engineer, math is a tool, not his field of study. What the hell is wrong with learning only what's needed, and not bothering with anything else? Engineers aren't scientists.

>> No.1428885

wut do with god-tier mathematics??

>> No.1428892

>>1428858
that's because engineers use math to analyze and model shit
We let the mathematicians make the proofs for everything.

>> No.1428901

Engineers aren't scientists, scientists aren't mathematicians, mathematicians aren't engineers, and so on. Study your field, and study others for fun or some insight.
Also, if you're going CivE OP, get used to math programs.
FUCK YOU MATLAB, MATHCAD IS THE SHIT

I never said anything was wrong with it.
I am just stating facts. I have nothing aganist the gays.

Engineering math is shit teir, it is all plug and chug baby shit, that any dumbass can be trained to do. Engineering math requires little or no intellegence, what so ever (just like engineering).

Like you said, engineers are just tools, nothing more. They do the grunt work that no intellegence person would want to do!

Engineers take men to the moon, blow shit up, and have crazy sex. Meanwhile, mathematicians fap to math. You suck.

Ironically, the recession will help you get a job, as more public works projects are started. Go into an internship, for connections, mostly.

Like... architectural modeling.. or.. Mathematical modeling...

Cause if you meant mathematical modeling I'll fucking LOL.

Civi Engineering is low grade Math. Not being an ass. It just is.

You'll use Calc up and down. That's really about it.

>> No.1429462

Umm, Scientists are the constantly curious people on the front line. They are the explorers of learning. Imagine them as the first colonists to a place. Engineers are the people who build on the Ideas of scientists to make them of use. Sure a scientist can develop a theory to travel just under the speed of light. But an engineer makes it possible. That's why I want to be both.

Fuck off, My relative has PHD in physics and chemistry. He is 86 and he said the best he got was developing weapons and he quit after 2 weeks because he hated it. And all he got was 150k pounds. He is also a lecturer at massey university NZ. My father is an electrical engineer with masters running a power plant and gets 200k NZD per year. Fag
