jesus... im still at this crap... 
quiz tomorrow.
even though im still pretty confused, atleast im getting somewhere though, lets just hope i can pass. 
I am enjoying my juvenile forensic psychology course 
sucks about your linear algebra... my math skills end with statistics.

all that lifelong learning bullshit that comes along with engineering... but oh well.
Oh man. All I remember from linear algebra was Gauss-Jordan, or row-reduced echelon form (rref). It's basically useful for solving a system of (linear) equations by stuffing the coefficients into a matrix and performing rref on it.
As far as EE goes, the only thing I managed to apply it to was linear circuit analysis and solving all the things at once. It also comes in handy after you Laplace everything and transform complex stuff into simple, simple algebra problems.
But I guess they want one to have an understanding of the theory before they teach you the tools to make things easier and faster (Matlab). I remember turning in homework that were pages and pages of matrix calculations.

Matrix "stuff" is very useful, in fact its the only thing that i find useful in various tasks. THe last time i bothered with vector spaces was when i was taking the exam, they never came up again in anything after that

Chemistry has ALWAYS been my absolute worst subject, although I find it endlessly fascinating. At the end of the class year, everyone had an F Minus. The instructor decided to erase half the test scores, multiply the score of the Final by 3, and grade on a curve. Lucky me, I had the highest failing grade. Unlucky me, the entire class was called in for a day during the summer vacation for an investigation+audit. |

atleast i was able to answer everything unlike the quiz last week. not 100% i did everything right, but my grade will def be better than last weeks. i guess staying up until 3am two nights ago and 4am last night did pay off.
Linear Algebra, I like

| Originally posted by AnomalyConcept That's probably why it's the only thing I remember from it. And the other stuff you will probably not use ever again, but you should still try to learn it to the best of your ability. It is frustrating having to do the silly proofs (like 0 + 0 = 0) which aren't all that important except to career mathematicians. |

| Originally posted by Meat187 Now that's really simple. You just need an imaginary apple, square it, and voil� you have -1 apple! |

use induction u fools!!
W0000000000T!!!
got a fuckin B+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i dont think ive ever been so happy about a B... usually i get mad if i get a B. lol 
Linear algebra was probably the easiest of the 123412341235161346 math courses i had to take for my engineering degree, and i have used none of it since i graduated. I found discrete and finite element much more of a bitch than linear algebra, perhaps it was because i learned how to get maple to work on my ti-83....
i also found a version of minitab that ran on the TI-83.... which made stats a walk in the park, infact im pretty sure i was still drunk from the night before when i wrote my stats final and i got an A on it.
just a quick question, you said you were taking electrical engineering? are you per chance of east indian or asian decent? just currious if the trend holds true at FSU as it does at any major engineering shcool in canada.

| Originally posted by Meat187 There's some truth to that. An exceptionally high percentage of engineering students in Germany are foreigners. I remember some prof explaining that along the lines of: Engineering is amongst the most difficult subjects to study, and most Germans are just not willing to work hard for success anymore. They become lazy and useless bastards and can usually have a decent life without working too hard. Foreigners, on the other hand, can only establish themselves in our society by hard work and a good graduation in a science where there are lots of well paid jobs. I remember a lot of guys quitting in the first year because they suddenly realized that you don't get a diploma for partying and hanging around for 5 years. |
