Good job. Remember that in engineering and physics, Maths it is just ONE WAY to explain the fenomenons that happen. You can bring good at the math of one subject, but if you don't know the physical meaning of that, it is useless of you are a physician or engineer since we study/exploit physical events
I feel like the more you understand math the more you like it. I am not anywhere near your level, but I know that urge you get to solve a math problem just because you know you can and how good it feels to second nature do a math problem to figure out some real world ish. I really want to succeed. I start college in August. Til then im doing pre-algebra, algebra, and algebra 2 on khan academy over the summer to prep. The furthest i ever got in high school was algebra 2 and I dropped out. I had other things I needed to focus on back then, but I'm ready now. Your videos are fun and interesting and they help as do the comments. Thanks
Im kinda surprised that in US you guys take only that amount of math in bachelor’s . We also took numerical analysis , partial differential equations, optimisation , optimal control and classical control and some special classes on mathematical modelling involving multivariate statistics as well as finite element methods
3 degrees in EE here (got my BSEE in 1976). How much math in EE? Lots. 2 classes (semester, not term) in Calculus, 1 class in Differential Equations, 1 class in Multi-Variable Calculus, 1 class in Linear Algebra, 1 class in Discrete Math, 1 class in Boolean Algebra, 1 class in Statistics. That's the standard pure math sequence. Obviously you use math in Physics (3 classes-Classical Physics, Electricity and Magnetism and Nuclear Theory/Quantum Mechanics). You'll also do a lot of programming-I took 4-5 programming languages getting my BSEE. Your Electrical Engineering classes, especially Transmission Line Theory, will use Fourier Transforms and the like. ALL Electrical Engineering classes will require some level of math, some more than others. When you get into MSEE program, the pure math classes will be minimal but by this time your brain will be pretty much attuned to thinking in terms of math concepts. Have fun!
DUDE , first your content is amazing, second i just realised that i study 2 years and a half of your subjects in a year 😂 may god save me . Side note im from Tunisia 😊
In the UK other than A levels / BTEC there’s a one year long level 3 course (level 4 is university / college level in america) where we cover things like calculus 2, graphing, boolean algebra, working with base 2 etc until we can design amplifiers / power supplies and logic circuits. Depending on the grades in this year, you may be able to study an engineering degree in a university or college.
Something really humbling when you go from being a tech/engineer to being promoted to upper senior management, you realise that you had to acquire, know and think complexly and retain vast amounts of information when you are an engineer, then you get paid easily double for having a very simple mind and skillset.
This is why I never wanna get promoted past Senior or Lead Engineer. I might get paid more but when I don't enjoy the work (and I am bad at managerial roles that require communication) its not worth it IMO. I'd rather be stuck at a Lead engineer for decades working on really complex projects with massive technical background.
Im finishing up my first year of electrical engineering in Norway and Im surprised by the subjects you had and when you had them. I have already had everything you said for the first 3 years except Applied Electromagnetics + we have done Embedded systems. You must go way more in depth on each subject I guess.
90% of the useful mathematics that you will actually apply as a working engineer: Trigonometry, Linear Algebra, Statistics, and Numerical Methods. No one actual solves complex solutions using calculus; numerical methods are your best friend in that circumstance.
This is why, with proper planning, many people are able to add a 2nd major in math on top of EE with only 1 extra semester. And this is probably true for mecheng and chemical as well. Depending.
One reason it is possible is because math degrees have less required classes than engineering and engineering already covers alot of the same core courses you need for the math core, so for the math degree whats left for requirements are the math math classes. By "math math" I mean Real Analysis, Abstract algebra, chaotic dynamical systems(this ones an elective probably), discrete math(youll tehcbically learn alot of this in algorithms/discrete structures), and other classes where proofs are common. It even seems to be the case that abstract alegbra helps with chemistry too. It seems likely that plenty of Real and Complex analysis is useful in Signal and Image processing. Are you in the US? Because in the UK it is clear that Bachelors degrees dont have the same gen ed requirements as in the US, so things change there but in the US you will need to apply for the double major. But I dont know that doing a double major will lead to higher initial salaries, but if you were to do a PHD in EE, youll probably take math and physics courses not required by undergrad like Quantum Mechanics.@@NA-xi5hj
Hey, great channel btw. You've really made me deeply interested in EE because of your videos. Thanks for that. I just wanted to ask one thing though, will infinite series be used somewhere in higher EE classes? I'm currently taking Calculus and while I do get where the derivatives and the integrals would be used, I can't really see where and how the infinite series will be used.
the infinite series should help give you a good foundation of understanding things related to approximations, or harmonic analysis -- you will take signals and systems and learn the fourier series which is the foundation of signal processing
i don't even have a foundation at math and im wondering if i can push through the absence of this foundation with a lot of studying or it would just be better to take a gap year to build that foundation.
@@alithedazzling thanks Ali! But it starts to be boring, need to start with more intensive math for it to be curious and interesting, and to be more challenging for me. I=V/R is too simple for me hahaha
Do you recommend, for those of us that haven’t been in school in a decade, to self study Calculus before we get back into it? And what would you say are the most important concepts?
You could watch a few youtube videos, but I wouldn't worry about it too much -- Make sure that once you're actually back in school that you have some free time set aside for doing many excercises, as thats the best way to get better in math subjects like calculus

im on last year of software enginering bachelors now question is should i go back to beginning into EE since ee interests me however im not a math person i never was practicing math (i just practiced (if i even did ) to the point to just barely pass exams and nothing more )

Hey Ali wanted to ask a small doubt I have. I'm in high school and I was taught the phasor method to solve AC circuits (majorly RLC) because my teacher said it's difficult to solve the differential equations. I wanted to know what other methods exist to solve them (I think I've read something about using the Laplace Transform for circuit analysis however I am not sure)
So the reason we use phasor notation is it makes any type of oscillation behavior easier to deal with mathematically -- it gets rid of all the wear exponents and converts them to something much easier we can deal with. Laplace transform also can transform these tough differential equations into algebraic equations, although I would encourage you to get really comfortable with phasors as its the most standard and practical method of dealing with AC circuits and electromagnetic waves in general
@@alithedazzling thanks for the reply, I do find phasors to be quite easier, having used them for evaluating oscillations too, however I will study about the Laplace Transform approach for fun :)
anything more in math should always be a bonus, however the actual problem is that most math departments will not orient their classes toward engineering (practical) use, therefore it could even be harmful to your main studies. That being said, having a properly guided, efficiently designed, as solid as possible real, useful, math education would multiply your electrical engineering experience by orders of magnitude! Electrical engineering makes heavy use of vast majority of mathematical topics. Calculus, Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differental Equations, Probability & Statistics, Coding & Information Theory, and then Analysis, Complex Variables, Generalized Function Theory, Transform Theory, and Harmonic Analysis for Signals and Systems. However, the most important skill is being able to speak *the language of mathematics* as mature and accurate as possible...

Laplace transform also can transform these tough differential equations into algebraic equations, although I would encourage you to get really comfortable with phasors as its the most standard and practical method of dealing with AC circuits and electromagnetic waves in general
@@alithedazzling thanks for the reply, I do find phasors to be quite easier, having used them for evaluating oscillations too, however I will study about the Laplace Transform approach for fun :)
So it is better have a minor in math?
Its not necessary
anything more in math should always be a bonus, however the actual problem is that most math departments will not orient their classes toward engineering (practical) use, therefore it could even be harmful to your main studies. That being said, having a properly guided, efficiently designed, as solid as possible real, useful, math education would multiply your electrical engineering experience by orders of magnitude! Electrical engineering makes heavy use of vast majority of mathematical topics. Calculus, Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra, Differental Equations, Probability & Statistics, Coding & Information Theory, and then Analysis, Complex Variables, Generalized Function Theory, Transform Theory, and Harmonic Analysis for Signals and Systems. However, the most important skill is being able to speak *the language of mathematics* as mature and accurate as possible...
Hey Ali, i sent a message to you, please could reply it?
