Yes I'm an arts student .
Oya kill yourself

jesmond3945:
you should have done ICT or Information managemet tech. were you will not do much math. but you can never do computer science without math infact you will not go far.

Khd95:
I hate maths irrespective of the topic

Class example/queatuon - a man is twice the age of his brother, last year his brother was 9 years, how old is the man...

Examination- if a man 5"7 tall weights 56 kg lean on a wall 7ft high and 12 inches thick , perpendicular to a stationary pole, calculate the man's age

I didnt really understand set theory in secondary school, and you cant do wuruwuru to the answer .

That was the only problem I had with maths all through my educational years, not a maths major though so I did basic maths at uni.

I still dont get the set stuff despite my love for maths.there is a secret to unlock that...


If you know you know

Whats the secret

courna:


i just don't know the usefulness of the course....

you'll read read and read.... but then again it's not something you'll read and understand

LordAdam16:


The same can be said about most branches of advanced pure science.

But it doesn't mean the poster you quoted is wrong per se. Advanced pure sciences are not for people with average intelligence. However, the basics of science which practically everyone needs in this current civilization is not above the pay grade of anyone with even slightly below average intelligence.

Matrix, Permutation and Combination are not difficult. Introductory probability isn't. For example, almost everyone knows you shouldn't use put a fork in a wall outlet. How many in Nigeria know the physics behind it? If most of the population had good teachers, that wouldn't be a question.

GrabHisBalls:
Permutation and combination.
Matrix.
Probability.

Are all easy maths.

KayceeBanks:
Partial Differential Equation, Laplace transforms, Fourier series and transforms and Power series. Very easy ............... To die

Fourwinds:
in set, sections of the set diagram have names and the sum is universal set... So if you diligently follow this principle, it will always unlock your answers....


Example, n(AnB), n(AnB'), n(A'nB), n(AuB)' etc sum them to n(£)... and easy it goes

salford1:

Engineering Maths is easy. The real maths are in Maths courses in Mathematics and Physics departments. I have 2 degrees (Physics and Electrical Engineering) and a masters (Engineering) and the difference in difficulty of maths between science faculty and engineering faculty is clear like 7up.

I had class mates in my electrical engineering degree program that graduated, but won't survive 3rd year in my physics degree program.

I love mathematics but REAL ANALYSIS is a no no to me.
I hated that MTH201 those days in Uniben.
We call it Kolo-Maths

Maximum Respect Mr Salford !
I once inquire from a guy what he is studying in Unilorin , he said M.sc Physics .... I feel like prostrating for him .... There are a lot of new new things I have seen on this thread that I have never heard about before ....
I studied Accounting in school Bsc n MSC.

Real Analysis
Ordinary Differential Equation
Lebesgue Equation

While here, me think Polynomial and Binomial is my real deal .... Cycle geometry , Trigonometry .....
I hate the two .... I hate anything involving shapes unless it's Organogram of a company of course

Maximum respect to you all doing the rocket science .... I wish to be like you and I know the future of accounting/finance will also be saturated in some of these theorem/concepts !!

salford1:

In as much as Physics and Mathematics overlap, we still give utmost respect to guys studing Pure or Theoretical Maths. No Physical Scientist or Engineer comes close. If you want to do damage to your gpa, just go to maths dept to take an elective.

One of the greatest Physicist to ever grace the earth i.e Einstein even caved in and enlisted the help of his Mathematician friend Marcel Grossman to nail down the math used in his derivation of General Relativity. This same Einstein had mastered calculus at the age of 13, but still left the maths for the experts.

Schrodinger also lamented in his latter years that he was seriously hindered by his limited knowledge of maths, else he would have been able to formulate a more beautiful and easier solution to one of his quantum mechanics problems. This does not mean he wasn't good in maths as one of his solutions to a problem was only demystified and rediscovered 40 years later. That means he was 40 years ahead of his mates.

Picture below: Schrodinger equation as part of a monument in front of Warsaw University's Centre of New Technologies.

Tamarapetty:
I hated my maths teacher! Now wey person dey do economics, na solving all the way. Calculation upadan.

fernandoc:
You didnt mention topology. Why? Lol

Bawofss:
Maths no hard, but further mathematics nah die....
We used to jump tru d window weneva our further maths teacher is coming is to class.

Dirkcoyt:


Are you serious? If you actually did logic in year 1 or 2 you won’t have this logic cause your premise is flawed.

I’m tell you these aforementioned topics were done at undergraduate level you’re talking masters!

Dirkcoyt:
Clearly most of you are not maths or computer science or statistics undergraduate/graduate

Engineering students can’t really do much mathematics compared to the above departments.

Mathematical method 1 and 2
Ordinary differential equation
Groups and rings
Abstract algebra
Complex analysis
Real and numerical analysis
Then come to the Laplace,Fibonacci and many other theorem I can’t remember.

Not to talk of some statiscal topics.

I can’t even remember any of this topics agains cause it’s been years have finished and man really never paid attention in class or love it.

But I can tell you maths is hard regardless of teacher who taught you. Some part you need brilliance, some genius, some smart , some just cram to finish.

Bunday textbook was a friend and host of all other textbooks I can’t remember.

Done that left that! Na money be my calculus now!
