    Simply cannot remember int/diff formulas

    If I can't memorize all of the integration and differentiation formulas for trigs, hyperbolics, all the inverses, etc...is that going to be a big problem in my academic career? Or as long as I know what I'm looking for, is that sufficient?

    Simply cannot remember int/diff formulas

    I'm currently reviewing calculus that I learned 10 years ago, because I will be resuming an electrical engineering program in the fall. I am simply having a heck of a time remembering all of the formulas. Basically, I'm having to look at the problem, look at the list of elementary...

    Reviewing math for electrical engineering classes

    I have been out of school for the past 10 years, and have returned to resume my coursework in electrical engineering (I changed majors from engineering physics). I have not taken ANY electrical engineering core classes yet, so I am starting from the beginning with the major classes. I have...

    Solving Integrals with U-Substitution

    Does the +1 simply get absorbed into the constant, C?

    Solving Integrals with U-Substitution

    I set u = 1 + \sqrt{2x}, so then u-1 = \sqrt{2x}, so 2x = (u -1)^{2} so then x = 1/2(u - 1)^{2} then dx = (u - 1)du so I could set it up as \int (u - 1)du / u split that up into \int 1du - \int du/u that leaves me with u - ln|u| + c making it 1 + \sqrt{2x} - ln|1+\sqrt{2x}| + c...

    Solving Integrals with U-Substitution

    I'm trying to re-study the calculus I learned years ago to resume my degree this fall, so I don't have access to an instructor right now. I'm stuck on a problem that I can't figure out, and it's just bugging me. Homework Statement \int 1/(1 + \sqrt{2x}) dxHomework Equations I'm trying to use...

    What should I do with my incomplete undergraduate degree and personal struggles?

    And I don't feel like I need to "catch up" to anything, in terms of money, success, or prestige. I had a very successful technology business years ago and had no worries about money, but I was absolutely miserable inside. I would simply love to have a job that provides enough to pay for my...

    What should I do with my incomplete undergraduate degree and personal struggles?

    In Florida, you cannot have a felony sealed or expunged if you were convicted with a plea of guilty. So I will just have to accept that and try to keep pushing forward as best as I can. I LOVED Embry-Riddle. It was small enough where I could get lots of face-time with faculty. The campus had...

    What should I do with my incomplete undergraduate degree and personal struggles?

    The other odd thing is that I have to take physics 1 and 2 over again. At Embry-Riddle, I took physics 1 (kinematics,forces, etc) and physics 2(waves, optics, modern, work-energy)...if I had taken physics 3, it would have included e&m, electrostatics, etc. At Wichita, they use a 2 semester...

    What should I do with my incomplete undergraduate degree and personal struggles?

    It's Wichita State University. They are accepting more of my previous CS and math courses as electives. And the program is only 128 credits vs 135 for the other engineering majors.

    What should I do with my incomplete undergraduate degree and personal struggles?

    I just did a degree evaluation for their electrical engineering degree (and it would be the same if I chose computer engineering, just different core classes), and I would only need 67 more credits to complete it. It's still quite a bit, but at least it seems reasonable. I have no idea what...

    What should I do with my incomplete undergraduate degree and personal struggles?

    I guess another 2.5-3 years, making me 40-41, will only add that much more distance between myself and those felonies. The school I'm enrolled in only offers engineering programs in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, and Computer Science. Is it insane to think that I can work in Aerospace with...

    What should I do with my incomplete undergraduate degree and personal struggles?

    I started my undergrad in 1999 in Engineering Physics. I was also working on a minor in computer science. I earned about 90 credits with a 3.93 gpa. I had some personal problems and I left school. Now I am enrolled in school again, but not sure what to do. The school that is local to me...

    Programs Question for comp sci majors or grads

    Do your core comp sci courses require strong working knowledge of mathematics and physics? I am transferring some undergrad credits from a physics program into a comp sci program, but my math and physics classes were about 10 years ago. I got A's in physics 1 and 2, calc 1, 2, 3, and...

    Engineering Physics major wanting to get into software engineering

    Ya, I have tailored my physics program to include 5 CS classes (2 lower level, 3 upper level)...I realize that I'll still have to take some undergrad courses when I enter the masters program to catch up, but at least my school isn't even requiring a GRE for admission to the CS masters. I...
