Hi Choppy, I will look into the community colleges and engineering technology nearby. Thanks for the suggestion!

I mean 50k a year or more by decent pay (as far as these types of fields go). You're right, it's subjective though. I think you may misunderstand me, though. I actually intend to go get a degree in engineering eventually, but for now I'm content with working in practically any science job...

Thought I'd better quote you in case you get updated this way.

Hi ModusPwned, Engineering is the field I want to go into, which is why I'm not interested in pursuing a masters/phd at my current university. That's confusing, so let me explain a bit. My current university is the only one I can go to right now for a variety of reasons (the majority being...

Are there any low level (B.S. Physics) jobs out there that pay well? I'm split between Geology and Physics and I just learned that the job prospects for a B.S. in Geology are bad. My goal is to get a job as soon as possible, regardless of my major, and then means I am not interested in spending...

Update: I found out some information on it. Apparently it's just called "Computer Security" and there are a few specializations within it.

Hello, I've heard a bit about "information systems" and "computer security systems technology" but I haven't been able to find anything about this type of study at my college's website. I don't think these terms are correct, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is something similar. The...

Oh, ok. So you can have a negative natural log function (-ln|cscx+cotx| for instance) but you cannot have the natural log of a negative number unless you involve imaginary numbers. I haven't really seen much of imaginary numbers, but I hear they're used a bit in D.E.

Ah, ok. So ln(-#) is the same as -ln(#)... That makes sense, actually. I had forgotten what the graph of the natural log function looks like. Thanks guys. It's the first time I've asked a math question online and actually received a correct answer! -Drc

Hi Tim! Ah... clumsy me. I knew that. I really did. Well, used to... :wink: So if you have ln(-∞), is that essentially ∞ or -∞? I'm finding the solution for a calculus III improper integrals question. I guess it doesn't matter, though, because either way it diverges (a possible solution)...

For instance, say I have -ln(-∞) Does the negative sign on the natural log cancel with the negative sign on the infinity? Is this true? -ln(-∞) = ln(∞) Thank you -Drc

Dang it. CLEP isn't an option anymore, I guess. Well, not I can either retake it and get an A in the next semester or try to make up for my bad test and finish with a B. Hmmm... I have until November 2 (or around there) to withdraw without a grade so if it keeps going badly, I could do it. I...

Hi TheKracken. I'm almost completely sure you can CLEP all 12 credit hours of Calculus, but I'll go find out now to be 100% sure. Update: So far I can't find any information about whether the CLEP applies to calculus 1 or all of them. If anyone has done it or knows about it, I'd appreciate input.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Hello, I think this is my first post here, but I've lurked for quite a while as a silent user and even before then as a non-user. I'm currently enrolled and majoring in pre-engineering at a community college in Mississippi. So far, I've taken Algebra, Trig, and calculus 1, and I'm...
