<p>What is the engineering that most depends on pure mathematics to be successful at? i realise they all need some form of calculus and mechanics but i really am only an average mechanics physics student and the only reason why i dont transfer into eng right now because im not sure if im good enough at physics. but people tell me that physics eventually relies on so much calculus that if youre good at calc you should be fine.</p>
<p>if you work hard and make the commitment you will do great in engineering, </p>
<p>classical physics is not an easy cookie to crack, in my opinion you don’t learn a lot from any one class but rather a collective body of coursework; you will see topics again and again and understand them more and more each time; so don’t fret too much when you don’t understand something 100% off the bat</p>
<p>This doesn’t really answer ur question but hopefully it’s of some use</p>
<p>the first sentence ive heard a ton. im in sciences right now and i know i have the work ethic. just dunno if i can handle 6-7 classes a semester and theyre all hard</p>
<p>Modern (state-space) control theory, perhaps the most analytic form of engineering to date. Intersection of differential calculus, linear algebra/eigenvectors, Laplace transforms, and stability (root locus pole-zero) analysis.</p>
<p>Fluids and E&M have, by far, the toughest math but only the simplest problems are attempted by hand. Supercomputing was driven by a need to computationally approximate these solutions. Div grad curl all the way.</p>
<p>" just dunno if i can handle 6-7 classes a semester and theyre all hard"</p>
<p>Don’t take 6 or 7, no one else is. Most are taking 2 or 3 engineering classes and then 1 or 2 other easy classes.</p>
<p>Just a minor point: calculus isn’t pure mathematics. Analysis is pure mathematics, and it’s like calculus, but still.</p>

<p>Analysis, Algebra, Geometry, and Number Theory. Look for these in engineering if you’re interested in pure math. If you’re interested in calculus… then, offhand, I would say aerospace does a ****load of cal-3 stuff. If you’re actually interested in pure math and want to do engineering, you might be out of luck… CS would be the closest thing pure math that might also be considered engineering at your school.</p>
