Most valuable Math class you took?

Another thing to keep in mind is that a vast majority of the math you learn in the engineering degree will rarely be used in the real world. There are typically commercial grade software or charts that you use to circumvent conventional calculations.

However, I found an increasing trend of professors to simply gloss over the mathematics during equation deriving for the sake of brevity and divert the student to a textbook to see the proof. In lower level classes this might be okay but in upper divison classes where the professors “dummy” down subjects such as bessel functions, I find it harder to simply accept the formula and plug and chug.

Graduate school on the other hand, is VERY math intensive.
