What Math does an engineer need?

Faggot, no one wants to help a piece of shit engineer. Go major in math so you know all the math and can do what an engineer does. Faggot.

I guess algebra for formulas? Honestly a computer can do your job.

You need a constructive topos in which univalence holds. In fact, we all do.

Pretty much

Stfu you little faggot, don't help that oompa loompa.

I see the new generation of big bang theory watching, redditor frequenting fuckwits have arrived.

Elementary algebra and calculus. Maybe some analytic geometry and elementary linear algebra.

If you're a ChemE, differential equations are pretty important.

Serious answer:
It depends on what type of engineer. A strong understanding of applied multivar calculus will be helpful in any field. ODEs will be useful for pretty much anything you do as well. Beyond that, linear algebra comes up quite a bit and for certain fields (e.g. Aero) you will find PDEs very useful.

Aside from those broader categories, you might take some more specialized classes depending on your focus. E.g. discrete is generally recommended for CompE; a course in optimization for others.

I'm in mechanical, I took calc 1-3, linear algebra 1 and 2, differential eqns and an advanced boundary value problems class. differential geometry and functions of a complex variable.

Didn't have to take the differential geometry class but they had it as an elective option in my program.

Unless youre going for a PHD all you need is familiarity with ODEs/PDEs. A lot of engineering is based on calculus/diffeq but in real life (and most classes) the most you do is double check a machine's algebra, the diffeqs and calc are long solved and easy to look up.

You can cruise through Software Engineering with minimal algebra knowledge, but the more you have the better/easier you/it get/gets

No but here's another

Haha I love how everyone here likes to shit talk reddit but /r/physics is 100x better than this piece of shit board. Literally 90% of the post are retarded memes/highschool homework/Im so smart/general retardation.

You just need to know how to read values from the chart and put them into Matlab

Mfw i was gonna post this

I would say linear algebra

all you need is free online calculators

I'm not an engineer. But I do have to hire engineers to certify my work. They never change anything I draw. My shit is always good so they just stamp it off.

Calc, Ordinary and Partial Diff Eqs, Linear Algebra, and Probability.

>>7759815
this covers it all.

>>7757816
Very little. You only need to understand the idea of greater than, less than and basic values. I mean you don't even need to know numbers, although they do help in communicating your ideas to others.
