Pre engineering in general/industrial & manufacturing

Ahh...you go to OSU. The combination of your MTH 112 test grade and your stated major lead me to believe that your actual major is pre-business. I'd put money on this.

OMG! Rofl!

I'm not doing too hot in math either though. I'm going into my MATH 2200 (Calc 1) final with a 40 something average. :( I hate math.....maybe I shouldn't be a physics major.



The only people that are more familiar with theoretical math than physics majors are:
math majors
cs majors

you need to be good at it...otherwise you'll be screwed in physics.

Wow, is there really that much math in CS? I declared CS as my major at Ole Miss, and I only had to take through Calc 5.

Uh dur...I was a CS major before I was a physics major and it's gone down hill from there. I love computers but I hate programming more than Calculus.

Maybe try MIS?

I got a 31% on one of my tests. Curved to around a B+. I was happy. This was in the EE dept in case any of you are wondering.

How does the curve work? If the highest grade is a 50%, then that becomes 100%? So a 40% would be an 80?

Its more like the top 30% get A's, middle 30% get B's, the other 30% below that get C's, and the rest of the 10% get D's or fail.

So if someone does extracredit and gets a 125%, your B might become a C?

There is no extra credit in college AFAIK.

Got my Calculus 3 final on Wednesday. Current average 89.8. Gotta get a 92 from my final in order to get an A in the class.

Actually this math isn't in my core calculation. The next class(numbered math 251 here) is going to count so I better not mess up this time.

MAT251? Did you read the rest of this thread you started? There is no universal association with numbers and letters... you may as well have said the next math class is XYZ 234... meaningless. Care to share with us the next math class you're going to struggle in? Pre-Calculus? Calculus I? :)
