Its not totally useless, I still use it in Fluid Mechanics and Hyrdaulics... which could lead to a possible career choice for me. So interesting.... Did you know water leaves a hose/nozzle with 0 pressure, but it has such a high velocity as pressure and velocity are complimentary

I loved Calc 1-3, Physics, Statics, Dynamics, DiffEq, and all of the complex and theoretical math classes I took. I still use those equations quite a bit when checking the accuracy of FEA's. Some of the theoretical math courses that I took in graduate school were the most interesting courses I have ever taken. Practical mathematics to describe some of the things you see and experience every day.

One of the worst classes (because of the Ukrainian instructor) was Material Science. That instructor was HORRIBLE. He would always be 10 minutes late for class and always because he had to go to the bathroom before class. And he would always run over by 15 minutes, ALWAYS! He mumbled as well... Brilliant guy, but horrible instructor. Funny thing is I use that class and book very frequently to this day.

Without a doubt, the hardest course I took would be biology. I can't imagine why a rose isn't called a rose, or a shin bone isn't called a shin bone.

Majored in accounting and minored in English. Economics wasn't too bad, but I tend to like the math side of things.

See, if it was just mathematics i'd be fine with it. But its more vocab and wording than anything else.. so it happens

Where do you work? My material science teacher opened a powerpoint that was filled with pr0n and it was titled "too many tens"
