Look at how they are saying mech(eng) can't repair his own car.Mathematics students that has been taugh maths,not self taught like isaac newton and the more that do exploit,can't even add a pinch to the field of maths.All they know is to look for money(teaching,banking etc) after graduating.Your eye is filled with sand,and u want to laugh your neighbour that kick stone.

I am a graduate of one of the Engineering discipline and I also, had NCE in computer/mathematics to be sincere Engineering student are not mathematician. Engineers just know calculations like other calculation courses I.e Economics, computer science. Mathematics is beyond solving, I could remember real analysis. No engineering student can solve it except you once had background in Mathematics. Therefore, Engineering students aren't mathematician

I wanted to pass up this statement but decided to respond in order to enlighten the younger people who might be reading this.

Yes, your submission used to be very true at least 10 years ago, but things are changing. The number of people choosing to study Mathematics at undergraduate level has risen astronomically over the last 10 years. This partly is responsible for the increase in cut-off marks for gaining admissions into Maths. It's also responsible for the improved performances of Maths undergraduates nowadays as more and more intelligent people are choosing to study Mathematics as their first choice. Previously, it was 'they gave me Maths because I couldn't enter Engineering or Computer Science. Now, it's becoming ' I'm doing Maths because I chose it while filling my JAMB form. The result - a sharp increase in 1st class, 2:1 and 2:2 Maths graduates.

When I did Mathematics some years ago, nobody wanted me to do it because they thought the only option I had was to become a teacher. The thing is that the awareness of the relevance of Mathematics has grown in leaps and bounds over the years, and many people are making a more informed decision to study Maths because they, at least, have a clue of where it's likely to land them.

The notion of people reading Maths because they couldn't get into Engineering is fading, and we need to be aware of this. It is however not untrue that some people still accept Maths because they couldn't get into not only Engineering but also Computer Science.

If you genuinely have access to JAMB/Post-UME data, you'll agree that my somewhat contrarian opinion is plausible.

I totally agree with you Tani. I studied mathematics and even though it wasn't what I filled as my preferred course of study, I have NEVER regretted my decision to do the switch. We had only about 21 persons in my final year class some 7-8 years ago (with just 8 graduating eventually), but as at today there are nearly 50 persons in final year mathematics class at my alma matter.

Times have changed and mathematicians are highly sought after in various industries and institutions, if you pass with good grades. I have in the past couple of years mentored a couple of bright teenagers into studying mathematics. They have since been very thankful for the kind gesture.

Lol....You know more mathematics than the people who creates it.Engineers saying they know mathematics more than a mathematician is as ludicrous as a bricklayer saying he knows civil engineering more than the civil engineer,afterall he is the one laying the bricks undecided.You think Mathematics is about performing some mindless rote calculations,something a chimpanzee could be trained to do.I could bet the people commenting have never heard of the word "proof" before.

MOST ENGINEERING STUDENTS WILL MAKE FIRST CLASS IN MATHEMATICS BUT ONLY FEW MATHEMATICS STUDENTS CAN MAKE FIRST CLASS IN ENGINEERING... ENGINEERING STUDENTS ARE FAR MORE INTELLIGENT THAN MATHEMATICS STUDENTS... TEACH ENGINEERING STUDENT ANY MATHS AND HE/SHE WILL DO WELL IN THAT MATHS... CHECK THE GENERAL MATHEMATICS RESULT OF 100 LEVEL ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS STUDENTS AND YOU WILL SURE SEE THE DIFFERENCE... REAL ENGINEERS LOVE AND ADORES MATHEMATICS.

do you even know what mathematics is? everything an Engineering(and physics $ statistics) student does is application of mathematics not mathematics itself, mathematics is abstract Algebra, real analysis, complex analysis(and pls i don't mean complex numbers) and combinatorics, this is where you find theories upon theories, no single calculation just ANALYSIS, you have to know every single definition and theory you've been taught, which are in hundreds, if you don't, then you wont understand anything, so to understand, you have to memorize first.

As a mathematics student, if real analysis and abstract algebra have not profoundly shocked you, then youve not understood them.

but you might never understand until you are there.

Mathematics and engineering ....arguing. ...this is child's play.....all this is for year one students. .I remembered when I was in year one ...when civil ,mech,insurance, mass Comm etc.living the same room will be arguing one another. ..buh for me I respect every course, because if a course is not important is won't be created . ..every one needs there other..

Lol, I'm one, in fact I understand mathematics best on my own, I could spend a whole night just studying one topic to make sure I gain full comprehension of a topic.
you understand mathematics like that and you still get extra year on top your third class?
