The Math I Used In My First Year as a Full Time Engineer

In my first year as an engineer I used more math than most engineers probably do to begin, but it was also much less than I was doing in school. As someone who enjoys math I was curious how much I would see in engineering during college as well as in my career and I hope this video clears up some of those answers. However this is just my experience and does not represent all engineering jobs.

Me in college: using formulas and solving for x
Me now at work: Sorry sir, our milkshake machine is down right now.

Bruh the only thing I understood in this video was pythagoras theroem😂

Great video, I’m enrolled in civil engineering for the fall! So excited

Thank you for this video. I'd like to ask 2 questions. This may not be as simple as I'd like it to be. I'm currently watching a basic electronics course online, it's about 26 hours all together. I was able to purchase the textbook, to the course, I found that the
instructor on the video preferred using engineering notation and the book uses scientific its confusing cross referencing both I understand both but not with speed and confidence, as I'm a novice in mathematics, I'm almost done with pre algebra, I'm doing algebra 1 and geometry along with studying electrochemistry as of now, I've also acquired some very advanced knowledge ahead of my learning. I purchased a book by Henry Jacobowitz, basic electronics. Where should my focus be mathematically? I know I have a long, long, long long way to go. I'm going to purchase a lab/ breadboard etc... my job has a huge automation area I can access for hands on.
I study about 3 to 4 hours a day 5 to 6 days a week. I have a full time job. I'm grasping almost everything I'm learning. Where do you see me realistically going?

Anyone else is bothered by him moving his arms frantically while we cannot see his arms?

[InfernoBlade]

Interesting but not surprising since I see my dad use Matlab for his engineering job

My first thought after reading the title was "what the hell is a time engineer"

[PetraKann]

The math that I used in my first year as a chemical engineer essentially had to do with my bank account

[JJONTHEBEAT]

misread this as "The Meth I Used In My First Year as a Full Time Engineer"

Meanwhile other people graduate with a Civil Engineering degree find themselves standing on the side of the road in the rain and count cars that make a left turn.

[praisethebees]

oh my god i understand the math you’re talking about

[biggusmaximus]

Me : First time year in Electrical engineering

*CHUCKLES IM IN DANGER*

[esarare]

Uni: multivariable inter dimensional integral factorial equations.
Work: wats 2+2 again?

[lukastimpson]

I still remember this legend back when he had 200 subs I've been around since his third vid! Keep up the good work!

[StEvUgnIn]

This video is a perfect example that mindset is very important in life. You had the mindset to see theory in your job and you applied it. Some other engineers don't have this mindset and those Mr. Calculator fellows will subcounciously choose not to see any algebra, calculus or physics

20 years after getting my masters in electrical engineering, the most complicated operations I use are additions and subtractions! :) Unless you go to academia or R&D career, this is what will happen

I got my BS in chemical engineering in 1972. I used algebra extensively and constantly did spreadsheet math. When computers arrived in the workplace I began using specialized programs for designing pumps and piping systems and for doing process energy and material balances. When I started using Excel in 1992 I phased out of using a calculator. Around 1996 I was using dynamic simulation software to model industrial processes. With dynamic simulation an engineer can simulate details like optimum equipment and valve sizing and control loop tuning. Once or twice I used the differential equation of mixing. It would have been helpful to have had a statistics course because I had to analyze lots of data.

This is similar to what i hear from friends that are engineers, and frankly it makes sense.
You will not need to do complex calculations by hand in any job other than teaching, but having a good understanding of the math will help you be better at whatever your job is.

I study engineering in finland. here engineering math and physics are two whole different things. basicly engineers math is a matter of faith and physics is real deal

[BoldOne]

But here's the major question




Is π=3=e?
