At first I’m like no problem.

Then I turn the page and am like fuuuuccckkk. Going to have to MSExcel this math.

“well there’s the problem with your math, you have letters instead of numbers!”

There is no calculus so that’s a plus.

You say that like calculus is a bad thing.

Someone wrote down alphabet soup instead of eating it. That’s the problem.

Ummmm

I’ve been drinking pretty hard during the Donalds speech. Please, don’t make my brain explode.

Mathcad. I haven’t looked but there may be a trial version if you don’t already have access.

I think using logrythems is the most advance math I’ve used since graduating from college. When I do cross sectional area, flow rate, or chemical feed calcs I get so excited.

I have access to it, it might even be on my computer. But I’m old school, I like to do it by hand at least once then program a spreadsheet to do it.

I haven’t used any advanced math since college. That was 4+ years ago now, I am using my college computer right now, at least that still works.

Needs more differential equations, I’ll take solace in the fact that I will be melting my student’s brains tomorrow morning with magnetic field questions.

I don’t know who uses it In engineering, maybe in finite element analysis and other more advanced structural engineering. I have tables for most everything!

Maybe if you’re doing differential flows or something, idk.

Just be honest with them: this is the first and last time you will ever have to do this for the rest of your life. Unless you go on to teaching or research.

I passed an engineering degree without seeing math that crazy...

Or should you decide to pursue a specific field of Physics/Applied Physics/Engineering that actually deals with this stuff daily, in which case have fun?

Yes this would be the desired approach for continuing very creative math. My dream would be to work for JPL figuring out how to put robots on Mars. But most of those folks are the extreme experts in their respective professions, I’m very average.

The math teacher across the hall from me is a retired Boeing Fellow he tells stories of engineers doing landing gear suspension load calculations essentially in their heads as that is all they have done their entire career. I can only imagine the look on some new guys face when the old guy just looks at it and goes you are wrong, you made a mistake here.
