<p>Also, you probably shouldn’t include the period</p>
<p>…?</p>
<p>To prevent stalking?</p>
<p>…yea, where you’re going to be at different times on a daily basis shouldn’t be made public</p>
<p>Okay. Understandable. I thought maybe there was some weird university rule regarding the periods not being set in stone or something.</p>
<p>Declared Major: Computer Engineering - Software Emphasis (CEN)
Planned Second Major: Mathematics</p>
<p>Summer B:
Lakeside

<p>I had some trouble with my schedule during preview because my staff member said she wasn’t allowed to sign off on my draft (which had biology thrown in for good measure, as well as honors chemistry and regular physics instead of regular chemistry and honors physics) because one wasn’t supposed to take more than two of those “tough courses” like calculus or chemistry in one semester. Eventually the adviser compromised with me after I told her I was willing to drop either the chem or the bio, but the physics was staying, and she told me to drop the honors chemistry idea because that was for kids who had taken ap chem in high school and gotten 5’s (I had only taken honors chemistry). I’m gonna see if I can’t sneak some bio in during drop/add…</p>

<p>I was an EE major and got a math minor. I am EXTREMELY glad I only got a minor 
. Upper division math is nothing like calculus, and as an engineering major you will find a huge discrepancy between engineering and pure math in terms of rigor that will probably start to annoy you one way or the other.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I know nothing beyond Linear Algebra is probably going to be of any use for my engineering major, but I still want to study higher mathematics and become proficient in proofs and things like that ^.^</p>
<p>But I am curious about your last statement. What do you mean there is a huge difference in terms of rigor?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What I mean is that engineering classes typically mean you are relegated to sitting in class taking down as many notes as possible and hoping you can make sense of it for the exam. There’s very little derivation, and if there is it’s mostly hand-waiving that leaves you with some questions usually, but the catch is the professor probably will not have time to adequately address your concerns. For some people, the answer is important, so this would not bother them.</p>
<p>Math is different. Math professors are extremely meticulous in how they teach and will proceed generally without skipping steps in proofs such that you are practically forced to understand the derivation. This has its drawbacks too, as sometimes you wish more was taught.</p>
<p>As part of my minor, I took things like abstract algebra and topology. They were a lot more difficult than any engineering class because I didn’t have any formal exposure to proofs, so I would often spend days doing a handful of problems. They were interesting classes, I guess, but ultimately useless for what I am doing now (though group theory shows up some). My advice is to stick to a minor if anything; You’re going to UF for engineering to get a degree and go out into the workforce, and math is one of those subjects that you can self study with a textbook.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, the preview people are trained to give the easiest schedule possible. I personally think the schedules some people come out with are way too easy. Do what you feel comfortable with. After preview, it doesnt matter what’s on your schedule. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree. Stick with the engineering major. Your schedule will be busy enough finishing that. Also remember, if you take up a math major, you have to talk classes to satisfy CLAS reqs. Such as 2 semesters of a lang, which engineering dept doesnt require.</p>
<p>Major: Mechanical Engineering
Apartment: Greenwich Green
Fall: Calculus 2
Chemistry 1 with lab
English 1
Intro to Music Literature</p>
<p>Major: Computer Science (Engineering)
2nd Major (if choose to do so instead): Computer Engineering (Software)
Summer B: Murphree

Summer B: Intro to Engineering, ENC 1101, AMH2020
Fall: Calculus 1 & Analytic Geometry, General Chemistry 1 and Lab, ENC3254 (Professional Writing for Engineers), ECO2013 (Macroeconomics, online).</p>
<p>I am coming in with a lot of AP credit, but still need 2 general ed requirments & because I had issues getting those at Preview, I had put Macroeconomics (even thou I dont need it because everything was full…) </p>
<p>I should be coming in with AP Calc AB credit, but decided it’s better to not kill myself first year in Calc 2 and end up with an easy A vs a “P” that doesn’t count towards the UF GPA, as with any AP credit.</p>

CHM 1025 Intro to Chemistry
ECO 2023 Principles of Microeconomics [online]
MAC 2233 Survey of Calculus 1
