Hey, /sci/. I'm a math major currently in my first semester

Analysis, abstract algebra, topology, and possibly others depending on the branches you study. Look up Cauchy sequences. That's a first step in your first real analysis course.

>>8640359
Likewise, look up groups. That's a first step in Abstract Algebra.

Thanks man

>>8640334
math major?

prolly matrix theory, linear alg, advanced theory, prolly some wave analysis, and some MATLAB classes obv

>greens theorem
>stokes theorem

Can someone explain to me the practical applications of these?
I remember taking calc 3 (it's been almost 8 years ago) and failing to see why it's necessary. I think the only benefit I received was being able to conceptualize abstract problems

I never went to college. I knew a dude that had a degree in mathematics and somehow he graduated without even know that groups,rings,fields even existed. I'm not even sure what they are but at least I know they exist. I guess their basically the stuff the rest of arithmetic and algebra is build on top of and where things like commutative, associative, etc properties come from.

Dont know much. But Aerodynamicist use (now you have all fancy types of software) them for flows and what not.

So fluid dynamics.

Just because *you* don't use something doesn't mean it's useless it may mean you're a monkey

That's not what he's implying, brainlet. He's asking people who do know the amswer for information

Are you serious? Aside from being key theoretical building blocks for pretty much all of Physics and Engineering they're used directly to solve problems (analytically and numerically) in fluid dynamics, electromagnetism, materials science, atomic and nuclear dynamics.

Indirectly they're used in the study of partial differential equations and finite element methods which are used by all branches of engineering.

You can google applications of any area of math you want yet this ape hasn't been able to find an application of Stokes in 8 years.

>>8641478
Analytic solution methods for any flux based problem. Also used in numerical methods for BEM conceptualization and other related methods

yo better solve those shreky line integrals really fast before big ogre finds out and get ur little tight anus into a sore green one

>>8640334
Analysis, topology, group theory, PDEs, differential geometry, optimization, etc
