Which Engineering Sub-sector has the most math's?

[abd123]

What sort of major or stream in Engineering have a lot of mathematics's in? I'm just interested in the theoretical work in Engineering , i want
to know which engineering sector that has the most math's units to satisfy my desire in mathematics, and solving distinctive problems.

Helps Appreciated

Theoretical engineering is physics.............

He's right though... The theory behind engineering is mainly physics for most streams =x

Engineers really only learn maths for it's physical application as far as I see it.

As for your question, probably Electrical has the most maths? Might have to wait for someone who's in the latter stages of their degree.

If you love maths, just do maths.  If you want "engineering", applied maths might be able to satisfy your hunger somewhat.

Pretty much. Engineering maths (well for Chem anyway) is majorly dumbed down and simplified with a lot of assumptions. It's not pure maths at all.

Thanks for the replies , VN > BOS all the way

which stream contains a lot of pure maths in?

A Bachelor of Science with a Pure Maths major

You can't take pure maths within an engineering degree unfortunately.

I was just fiddling around with the Bachelor of Science credits and timetables, and I managed to fit a Pure Maths major as well as the subjects required for Chemical Systems in the 3 years (using breadth allocations etc.). Is there anything wrong with that?

At UoM, yes because you can't officially have two majors listed on your transcript if you're doing a B.Sci unfortunately.

You might have done enough subjects to satisfy for two majors, but only one will be "official".

Im doing pure maths major (though im doing a double degree)

^^^^ whatta sikkent, xZero what subs are you doing next sem? considering taking up the number theory and algebra units?

[xZero]

think im doing Algebra and number theory and Real analysis, the problem is that i have to take 1 of them in 3xxx instead of 2xxx and idk which 1 to choose lol. Might do algebra and number theory II or topology in the year after

[TrueTears]

oh nice, lol algebra and number theory is a good unit if you read beyond what they teach u i reckon lol, but i guess having daniel as a lecturer again makes u fall asleep...

[xZero]

daniel as in...mth1112 daniel? if it is then that sucks :S

[TrueTears]

yeah lol there's 2 daniels in mth2121, daniel (from mth1112) takes the number theory and daniel horsley takes the algebra part. i actually can't comment on how either of them takes the lectures as i havent been to a single lecture lol, but i heard it was similar to mth1112 and sleep-worthy
