That program would indicate that Dave's degree requires at least:
General Chemistry I and Laboratory
Calculus Analytic Geometry I
Calculus Analytic Geometry II
Calculus Analytic Geometry III
Differential Equations
Mechanics (Physics)
Problems in Mechanics (Physics)
Electricity and Magnetism
Problems in Electricity and Magnetism
Waves, Light, Modern Physics
Problems in Light and Modern Physics
That looks impressive. Lord Valve just flubbed a very simple question
in high school-level Calculus, so I wonder about his chops in D.E.
Lord Valve:
If that's the case, I'm an "engineer" too.
So where do you want to start... Differential Equations? Or DSP
algorithms? Your call. (Dave, no helping him til the end)
Or would you rather try to change the subject now that this has
backfired?

Good one! Keep 'em laughing!
In the early 80's, I took an AA degree in computer technology at the
local Jr. college in Pasadena. I thought it would be easier than a
university. Turns out the head of the department was a retired Army
computer guy and took the U of Houston course and pared it down to two
years. Boy, I could design logic circuits after the first semester!
The education was there! but it was all pointed at the 8085 processor
and after the seventh semister I quit - my VA education assistance ran
out -the IBM PC hit the market. I then had to learn the PC all on my
own. Many nights of being up till 3am and then getting up and going
pipefitting on the ship channel for the union. But that education made
way for me to survive in the computer realm for a long time...Don't
knock AAS or AA education.
Not me. I'm not sure how that started. The courses listed above look
tough now that I've forgotten most of it. <g> Hats off to Dave if he
took just a couple of 'em.
BTW, your background in the 8085 still relates to modern computer
architecture in many ways. Some schools even adopted early versions of
C and Pascal compilers that ran on 8085/Z80. Much of Hal Chamberlin's
early music work was done on 6502.
Better than most of the old tube guys ever
had.J.P.
You may be surprised at some of the hard core stuff that was around in
the pre-digital era, JP. Radiotron was transparent compared to the
pages of dense math and physics in the heavy thermionics texts. Of
course you can also get deep into quantum physics in solid state
analysis if you choose.
imagine doing it on the stuff out now...The old Motorola chips were
cool though.And the 8085 was cool to work with. At least I got a lot
of electronic teaching also. My electives were in industrial
electronics - like gas chromatograph repair etc.
