    I have a couple memorized if I see them... I cannot tell them to you... except

    sinx + cosx = 1

    1-cosx=tanx???

    I could look them up, but I have been studying all weekend. This summer course is so fast pasted. I made 109 on my first test and I have to keep up the momentum through this week, I have a quiz Tuesday, Test Thursday and the final is next Thursday. Oh I am only in Trig 1111 right now, I already took Calc 1190 now I have to take another calc because the 1190 does not work for a Bio major.

        LOL, yea, it's Sin^2(x)+cos^2(x) = 1

        I hear ya on summer courses! I'm talkin Calc 3, Tech Com 2 and Physics 2 all this summer! hahahhaaaaa....it sucks. :(

            thanks for the clear up... I am heading to the Math Lab (math not meth, don't get excited) to make sure I know all this.

                Wow-you guys are sure bringing back the memories...I sure don't miss all that homework and tests. I did always find the labs a ton of fun though!
                I wonder how many ME students we have at r3v?

                Btw, it's all about the HP 48g...TI's suck..heh

                    I had to memorize every single one of those damn things. I hated that...but very helpful.

                      Yup, ME at Cal Poly. I should be out of here by June 2010 if all goes smooth. How much math do you guys have to take? They make us take 6 quarters here -- 4 of calculus and 2 diff eq's. Glad I'm done with that shit.

                        I'm taking Calc 3 right now, took Diff a year ago, then Calc II and I before that. After this, I have to take Linear Algebra and I think Intro to Numerical Methods. So after this, only 2 math classes left. :D

                            We have to take six quarters as well. Actually, you just have to go through Calc 3, diff eq's, linear algebra, and a set theory class. If you come in to college not able to take calc, you have to take all of the pre. req's first. I took AP calc in high school, so I was a bit ahead. Your school is ABET accredited I'm sure, and I believe they require a pretty similar math regimen for every school.

                            But I'm a tad bit nerdy, and I've always loved math, it just comes easy to me. I decided that I might as well spend 5 years instead of four and dual major. So I'm almost done with my math degree as well. I have Topology in the fall, and I'm not even sure what the hell that is. Should be interesting.

                              i am so proud of this site.

                              I for once don't feel like a dork for taking all cal. classes and Diff. Eq.

                              YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME

                                There's a lotta engineers on this forum. So, you're definitely not alone. :)
