No, Nigeria. I should think every federal university of technology does that.
oh I see cool.

I don't know about other schools but in my 5 year BTech program in Math & Computer Science I found that by the end of 200L we'd just about completed everything in Advanced Engineering Math by KS Stroud. I know this because I had both eng math and advanced eng math.
For those of you asking what mathematicians produce take a look at this page:
jeremykun.com/main-content/
In particular, Google, a multi billion dollar company, came about as a result of a mathematical thesis as you can see at the following link:
jeremykun.com/2011/06/18/googles-pagerank-a-first-attempt/
hafa u ,so u guys finished advanced and ordinary engine maths in 2 yrs
that a lie jare
u guys don't do another thing abi undecided

Here is the deal, Mathematicians engage in roughly as much maths as engineers, but engineers get to "actively" apply them in practical real world problems.

So, comparatively speaking, Engineers are alitlle more ahead


Double kudos to You...you have said it all...

@ op.....You dont have to be mean has every courses and career has its own aspect and role to play in d world so....keep doing what u love doing and you will never regret doing it at d end

An engineering students don't know it all in maths just as a literature student can't claim proficiency in English language. cox I remember teaching one engineering student maths back then upon say am in tourism dept

YOU ARE CORRECT BRO. Youare d first engr dat i've seen accepting engineering needs mathematicians, we math students arejst too under-rated. I kno engineers need math nd phy. But why wud they brag to be mathematicians?? An engineering std is an engineering std, they shud stop trying to replace mathematicians. Funny enof our country gv mathematicians jobs to engineers.




Dats d true...dis is caused by our so called leaders in nigeria.....nevertheless .....noboody should even be sidelined not to talk of underating but all d same We all need ourselves............enginering has its own role too play likewise mathematics has its oown role to play......

Haha. This guy is ignorant AF. No problem tho. I used to think the same way some years back till I realized mathematics is the basis of everything. In computing that is. All those tech companies you buy their products hire a lot of Maths PhDs. You know nothing sir.
if u guys read my earlier post u know I was talking abt this country
and for the record, how many tech companies are in this country

Let me put an end to this;Physics students actually will do better,they just dont brag. Most of those topics you guys have been mentioning were actually developed by physicists;from calculus(Newton),to ode(euler)..so on.so they win in this case. To all those elect/elect,and mech eng feeling superior,do you know that every form of your course is actually a renamed physics course,from thermodynamics to digital electronics,to engines,to vacuum techniques to tunneling,electricity and magnetism,communications and so on. Physics students are taught 'Quantum electronics':the future of electronics,which unfortunately,their engine counterparts lack. Also solar energy and other forms of energy,are mainly for the physicists. So ''dont try to feel superior,because the enlightened ones focus and dont brag about beign superior''-darkhorizon

My brother;large number of equally qualified? No no. Its actually this way.. ... .due to large number of applicants, the best qualified got it n d others(though brilliant as well) were transfered to other depts.
No beefs bro. Respect
as long we all made the cut-off mark for the course,I was right to say we were equally qualified. Every school has a maximum number of students to be admitted into a particular course. If the sch exceed such number,it will have NUC to contend with. Even our VC those days attested to the fact. He even apologised!!!

engineering Maths is a discipline on it own, a good engineer must no how to calculate, mathematician are learnin from engineers bcus they must checked engineering maths for miscallineos illustration & solution,but nigeria Engineers are poor in mathematics,not all o,.

Well, firstly engineers are not all bothered about the derivation of formulas, but jes d application of formula to solve engineering & practical problems so I respect the mathematicians.

However, most guys I have seen studying mathematics wanted to study engineering but were not all lucky making engineers feel superior.

am a industrial physicist
I was having issues with a particular topic in mathematics I actually went to math department to see a friend to help put me tru while there another friend 400l computer engineering came and like na this one you cross from ur department dey come mth for no worry I go teach you na 300L engineering maths una even dey do for final year although embarrassed I gave him one question from a past question to solve before we can start my tutorial he spent up to 4hours trying to fix the question but couldn't
he ended telling me that the topic was different from the one they did but with the same name
this happened 5yrRs ago in uniben

still not equally qualified. If the cut off mark is 60.would u say sm1 who scores 65 and sm1 who scores 79 are equally qualified? A big no. The best qualified get it n d others-despite scoring above d cut off - get other depts

Lol i cant seem to wrap dis idea how Engineering students think or act lik they do/know mathematics aspect more dan those who spend all their freaking lecture hours solving grin am Pure Mathematics student nd an engineering student came to me today saying "am wastin my time doin pure maths that dey (engineering) are equal to mathematicians plus dey hav added engineering knowledge. grin I was lik wtf, suite urself, i kno why i chose mathematics over engineering during JAMB. Am not a foool.
Engineering students brag to be all rounder but i refuse to accept an engineer can replace a mathematican except in a useless country lik nigeria angry

What engineering students are good at is Calculus,ODE...buh mathematics is more than Calculus...when they go into functional analysis...complex analysis...algebra...then they know that khaki no be leather

what is functional analysis if not advanced differentiation which ends with a primary word "calculus"

It is not true that engineering students know maths more than mathematics students. Have been opportune to supervise maths exams with mathematics/Engineering students, it was surprising that d engineering students didn't do better than d mathematics students, Infact some of them were copying from the maths students. There r good guys in Engineering and good guys in mathematics dept also. So engineering students should not claim superiority that they know maths more than mathematics students.
God Bless Nigeria

I don't still agree with u. The previous year,I made 256 in jamb while some one I knew made 214. She got admission while I still stayed another year at home all because I wasn't financially bouyant enough to "runs" admission at that time. Sometimes it isn't about qualification. It is who u know and your pocket!!!
