I wonder how many differential equations dave jones has studied in his career as a EE after college |

LOL so from what all of you guys are saying is that algebra 1 and algebra 2 is enough for this electronics technician course. Also instead of me doing all these extra math searches and more math books spendings, all I had to do is just continue with my electronics course and just pick up more info while going deeper into electronics...hmmmmm ??? If that's the case then thanks guys for lifting a big weight of my shoulders :-+ |

just enough to pass the exams. once you exit school you will NEVER use any of that stuff again. In real life the 'heavy math' ( anything beyond + - * / square root and logs ) is done by simulators or software like Matlab. There is not a person in his right mind that will integrate or derive by hand. Most of the time you don't even need the equations. the computers know them. Plug in numbers and off you go. Calculation is for machines. |

Nobody who is a chemical anything is ever in his right mind. Ever. (Not necessarily in a bad way - there's a good kind of insanity :D ) |
