Mat 402 Partial differential equation.. Thats how Prof Adeniyi asked us to derive D'alemberts wave equation. Eyes con dey red for inside exam hall.

When I saw the thread heading, I knew Pythagoras would be the #1. That eqn birthed the geometry aspect of mathematics.

Let me tell you a story.

When I was in js2, I left the school hostel and travelled home. Unfortunately, I met no one at home as my parents travelled (there was no handset then). I had to return to school the next morning after sleeping in my neighbours place. I didn't have a dime left on me as I had hoped to get some cash from home. On getting to the bus stop, I pleaded with a passenger to allow me sit on his laps so i wont have to pay transport fare. It was a small car, owned by young lad who wanted to make quick cash. When the car got moving, he insisted that i pay inasmuch as i wasnt occupying any seat. The passengers were furious at him.

After few minutes of arguing, he said that if only his passengers were science students, they will understand that irrespective of the fact that I wasn't occupying a seat, I still need to pay. That was the last thing he said, he didn't collect money from me but that statement stuck to my mind.

It wasn't until ss2 when I studied Newton's laws of motion that I understood perfectly what the young driver meant. Especially the mathematical derivatives of Newton's 2nd law where F = ma. It became clear that for the moving car under constatn acceleration, more force (fuel) would be needed if the mass increases. I was increasing the sum total of mass,m in his car and as such, he would need to burn more fuel to maintain acceleration.

Mathematic eqns become more interesting when it is applied; that is why engineering is the best course to study. Application of mathematical and science principles become alive when you design your first plant

SirWere:
Those are formulas from physicists, not mathematicans.

kaymart:
how about HESEINBERG UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE

ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE, HOOKE's law and The LAWS OF MAGNETISM?

ToriBlue:
These are elementary mathematics.
You have not mentioned
Differentiation
integration etc.

Vicben:
E=MC^2 is not on the list. that's another powerful (Physics) Maths equation.

I keep wondering why those math courses have simply-silly names: partial differential equations: you go think say the course go easy as na 'partial' and not complete. Na so we do one mat201 course wey dem call 'ordinary differential equations'. O'boy, there's nothing ordinary in that course. Na so so 2nd, 3rd and 4th derivatives full that course. Person never finish first derivative, na to dey struggle with 2nd, 3rd and 4th; that wan na die.

Have you noticed that the final solutions to those differential equations are more complex than the original problem? How then is that a solution? You solve a simple linear differential eqn and your answer becomes quotients of complex numbers, how is that a solution?

Na waoh!

After you don cracked your brain and pass all this yeye calculations. You will find work taya without getting one.

One illiterate might finally give a job and dictate a ridiculous amount as your salary.


Tell Dangote to solve Quadratic Equation now, na F9 straight

mercyville:
Did you attend Unilag?The man who teaches mechanics?

OgundeleT:

u mean R.B Adeniyi of BBF?

UniQuegrACE:
lol, OK oooo. how are you doing?

0955eb027:
You even call the name finish, Nawa for you o. What set are you?

NevetsIbot:
Me doing great! How you doing?

Oluwaremythe:

You're right to an extent bro,bt we dnt judge knowledge like dat
Yh dangote may av all dos wealth,bt yu(with knowledge)are literally powerful and more useful to d world at large dan dangote
Dangote hires expertise kos of knowledge,I hope yu understand my points tho

Op, looks to me like the world hasn't changed very much.

shinarambo1:

In those days just like till present, its really difficult to seperate maths from physics. Einstein himself acknowledged that he would have discovered the theory of relativity much earlier if he had a better understanding of mathematics.

Schrodinger also said he would have made his equation more elegant if he had a better understanding of maths.

Sir Isaac Newton, the greatest Physicist in my opinion shares the discovery of calculus with Lebnitz abi na Euler.

Maths and Physics are so interwoven that its difficult to seperate them. Maths is the language that Physicists and Engineers use. Infact...if your maths is sound. Engineering and Physics becomes a walk in the park.

I struggled in my physics degree becuase my maths foundation was weak, but by the time I returned for a 2nd degree Electrical Engineering...I was easily topping the class cos my maths skills had greatly improved by that time. The hardest course in engineering depts and physics are still the ones with heavy mathematical contents. Mathematicians...i bow for una ooo...lol

TonySpike:



That's a Fallacy!

ALL Physicists are Mathematicians but not all Mathematicians are Physicists!
