Please your candid advice are needed

yes as long as its not in Nigeria else you may be studying backwards

it will take a miracle. and miracles don't Happen

Hmm... Brotherly

No Sir
To study engineering in general, you must be good in mathematics.

You need to understand your Calculus very well because it's the basics...

Electrical Engineering and Electronics needs much of mathematics and if you get confused while solving mathematics, please don't study it except you're ready to spend your whole time studying.

Yes and No.
If you think you can then you can.
If you think you can't then you can't.
Either way you're right in your assessment.

But I'd advice you invest your time and work on your maths weakness if you really want to study Electrical/ Electronics. Nigeria is full of young people who would rather look for the easy way out of things. Dare to be different and when tomorrow comes you'll be glad you faced your maths problem head on. See you at the top.

I used to have maths phobia but my desire to study engineering was stronger, so I did what I advised in the paragraph above and today after two solid engineering degrees (1st and 2nd) I can tell you authoritatively that facing my maths problem early on as a jambito was the best decision I ever made.

Yes. That person would just need to do some serious above average study since mathematics is learnt through hard long practise.

even those who are good in mathematics find it very hard to cope with the course. but if the op can devote more time to study he will definitely improve but it's unlikely

It is not unlikely. You do not know the extent of the powers and abilities of the op nor how hard the op has or can devote to the study of learning maths, which is a skill and not knowledge or an ability one is born with.

Truth is, every class you attend would be like the tutor is doing magic. You will be expecting a miracle after every exam and in 200level at most, the department itself will withdraw you. That will be the beginning of a 10-year journey for a five years course. School is meant to be fun and predicated upon interest and competence. Don't gamble on Maths... Your Waec experience should let you know better if you did it yourself..

I was average too and I did great, so you can too.

Don't try it. In fact maths is not enough, you need a little bit of further maths to scale through the likes of math103, ENG 221, 321

Most of your course will be based on calculations... If you not sure about your ability... Kindly find a soft course..


Your destiny will never pass you

School is all about study and have fun

you can bro, with determination, commitment, mixing with right people, getting of relevant materials and prayer for wisdom, knowledge and understanding.

I'm a testimony to this. I could remember I didn't know accounting in my secondary school days and I wanted to study accounting and with the help of all those mentioned above, I knew accounting that I I was the 8th best candidate out of around 260+ in my poly days.

I'm now a finalist in public university with good academic standing and I'm done with ICAN. Glory be to God.

IF you believe you can, you're half way there.

O.P can you ride a car without fuel ?

Don't ever listen to those telling you that you can do it. to save yourself time, don't even think about going for engineering if your background in maths isn't top notch. like you have to be good in it and be sure of your mathematical skills to graduate with 1st, or 2.1. not for the faint hearted.

had similar experience where I was given maths/stats to study instead of Agric that I applied for and I thought I could handle it just like you. it ended in tears for me at 400L as I couldn't cope, no thanks to my bad first year results.

Now I'm running another simpler course and doing well academically. Save yourself the inevitable and go for a course you can handle.

had a friend in engineering department then who was also like you. long story short, he had to repeat a level while changing department to Science education and results are still not good enough at the point of graduation due to his bastardized journey in engineering department.

the ball is in your court tho.

I am good at calculations but not excellent

with determination you would do well. had a friend in bch who moved to elect elect in 200 level he was average in maths but finished in record time. just buy shroud and advanced engineering maths and start studying when you encounter difficulty look for someone to put you tru. most elect students I know of work in group, they help each other

With the God Elijah, miracles does happen.

Are you willing to improve

Ermmm. Technically you'll really run into some problems along the line. When you encounter things like vector calculus, laplace transform and other other shits like that, no lecturer will have the time to start explaining the basics to you. Well, long story short; you can buy you will run into problems.

Wow, interesting topic O.P.
I have similar problem, though na mech eng I dey because my papa want mk I go mech and my math (na only God know how I go take do that 1 for engineering).

But originally na Computer science I wan do(I know say math dey there) I dey think boya mk I resit for jamb, and apply for the course wey I get passion for. Or mk I just dey do so help me God for engineering ( especially those engineering maths-na die).

Note: I am very sound when it comes to physics and chemistry but that maths(na average).

Wetin una think.

I feel teach you math, if you are willing to learn

If you are willing to learn, l can teach you the basics.

I am ready to learn sir. How do we go about it?

Yes! You can study Electrical and Electronics Engineering, you just need to put in extra efforts in your studies knowing your weaknesses.
