| Topic | What is the highest math class you ever got up to? |

Engineering and Physics students get exposed to PDEs. I mean you have to learn some of the basics in order to do EM or QM because the Maxwell Equations and the Schrodinger equation are obviously PDEs. Usually they will also take a few semesters of something called Applied Mathematics for Engineers/Physicists or Mathematical Physics where you probably learn some more linear algebra, fourier analysis and PDEs. That's not really the same as a math PhD student taking a graduate level PDE class so as to prepare for their qualifying exams on the subject. Just like there are different levels of difficulty for a subject like Electromagnetism. Undergrad students typically learn from David Griffiths text "Introduction to Electrodynamics" and graduate students will use "Classical Electrodynamics" by Jackson. The later is a significantly more difficult book. Cuticrusader09 posted... I took abstract algebra undergrad. It is taught at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. --- "The soul in the darkness sins, but the real sinner is he who caused the darkness." - Victor Hugo ... Copied to Clipboard! |
