It seems as if every single statics problem in the textbooks I've seen has so far amounted to proving for the billionth time that you have the pythagorean theorem memorized. It's absolutely mind numbing. At what point do we get to do fun and interesting stuff, like derive the heat equation or whatever? I'm getting worried that all mechanical engineers do is draw free body diagrams and ask their TI-84:s for the sin of 52 all day.
I guess what I'm really asking is: Is it okay for a mechanical engineer to get incredibly bored by solving trigonometry word problems, or is it time for me to switch programs? I'm truly worried I'm heading down a path I simply won't find interesting. Someone please cheer me up :(
