Techniques of Integration

[manny78]

euhhh sorry but I didnt have any class math since high school....

trapezoid method

It never occured to me that there might be a few more math majors here.

I'm currently taking 1)complex analysis,2)probability with martingales,3)abstract algebra,4)finite fields & error-correcting codes and 5)fluid mechannics.

How about the rest of you?

 

[Max Power]

Yeah, there are some smart fokkers on these (all bb) boards.

I'm an engineer... taking numerical analysis, thermo, eng design, and deformable solids

Oo... this thread is... still alive....

the easiest/favorite integration technique is by far... the Computer method? Aa... Mathematica/Maple....?

bighead:

nn... yes... only when you take the complex analysis course do they finally reveal to you the easiest way to evaluate the most convoluted integrals... contour integration!... if they just taught you that to start out with... it would have saved so much time... integration without actually evaluating any integrals...

ps. aa... no... I am not a math major...

 

[bighead]

great to see you guys here!

definitely. i was so fuckin happy after last semester was over, and i was done with math. granted i still have to do math in my engineering courses, but it's way better than just math alone.

Hey...watch it buddy - I was a math major...

Blue Sky,
Big fan of Maple (looking at your avatar)? I have all sorts of problems with it so it isn't the easiest for me Love my TI thought

You're not a math major? Why all the math knowledge?

 

[Enrico]

I'm a biology major

Max Power:

Hmm... yes... I am indeed quite a big fan of Maple!! (but others tell me to stop using it because it is a Canadian creation ... they tell me to shift to Mathematica but Maple simplifies expressions much better...)... And as for my TI... I used to rely on it but I gave up on it quite a while ago... it can't solve the weird differential equs...

Um... I was an Applied Physics major during my undergraduate years... and I was required to take 2 math courses and 2 mathematical physics courses... and now that I am a grad student they made me take yet another course in mathematical physics... and... now I have astrayed from the path of applied physics and... have fallen victim to the temptations of theoretical physics so...? All I do is... math...

(I did take several engineering courses too during the undergrad years but... it is definitely the dark side! )
