Math rant

[Le Pirate]

Simple. 45 mins, 16 questions.

Physics II is a requirement only for engineers, physics, and math majors. 67 students in our section. avg is ~45 first test, 30 second test, and 60 third test(only the good people stayed). He says he only passes about 5-10 people a semester.

Hea terrible professor. Says the test will be like home work questions, but they become some crazy combination of integration to get the numbers just to apply the physics. He has never picked up a piece of chalk. EVER. he does everything by word pad and MS paint.

I passed physics I with an A and skipped the final. It was on the same difficulty as this class, but the prof graded us on the application of physics, not trying to trick us. We had 1:30 to do 4 questions.

The final is departmental, so hopefully it is MUCH easier.....

Do you guys think its possible to do both Diffy-Q and Linear Algebra  in 1 semester?

Physics II is a requirement for a Bio or Chem degree at the school I went to. It just about kicked my ass, but I got a couple good punches in in the last round and took that bastard down

Lin Alg is pretty easy-much easier than what you're doing, so yes.


Diffy-screws is also not bad. Go for it.

good to hear, for the EEs at my school, they are scheduled to take it both in 1 semester. Thats 15 credits 5 classes next semester. Ill leave Physics II for summer (ill just take it at the community college thats part of the NY city school system. :p)

as for his review. Anything i say aint gonna do a damn thing. The last Physics II class had a petition to have him stop teaching, even though it had over 300+ signatures, it didnt do a damn thing.....mostly cause hes head of the dept.

The EEs probably aren't going to delve into it as far. We often had "Bolts for dolts" and "Volts for dolts" for the times when MEs had to take an intro to EE class, and for when the EEs had to take an intro to ME class.



You may be better off taking their version, if the credit is the same. Asking the professor about it may give you a hint.

Schrodinger's = very impressive.

Even if you're not a p-chemist, it's a bit generic... I'd be truly in awe if you used Dirac notation. The Bras and Kets would totally get you chicks!

This is how I roll 

Jesus titty make the beast with two backsing Christ, is that math?

Great. Just great. Can't wait to start college.

HEY where did those faces come from? i demand that they be part of the stock set!!!

For the record...


I am happy to help anyone with the higher level math/physics should they need it. Just PM me.

Got 'em from the ADV smiley page. Kind of a PITA to use 'em. Gotta copy image address and them paste it into an img tag. Well worth the effort, imo.
