Awesome for you. Im down to my last two semesters. It goes pretty quick to be honest. Best part about having a shitty job while in school is the shitty job helps motivate you to write that bullshit 12 page paper on the history of underwater basket weaving. How many of your previous credits are they going to let you keep?
Such a bullshit class.. you forget that shit as soon as you leave that class, trust me. Matlab can do mega-order diff eq's in a matter of seconds, so what's the point.
5 semesters of calc plus diffeq was the reason I abandoned CS as a career path. Do you ever actually use advanced calc when writing code?
Maybe if you're doing some serious think tank programming or something, but even then I think they would hire mathematicians to do that for you. I've been writing code professionally for about 1.5 years and I haven't done more than add/sub/mult/div. I am almost positive they make you take calculus to weed out people that can't handle that stuff, which is unfortunate in some regards but I guess it keeps out the stupids. I'm not CS, but the comp engineering BS is a very almost identical class path with the exception of a lot more hardware/hardware programming class load.
Fixed it to make it more general and sum up 90% of college education. I hate all the "well-rounded" bullshit you have to deal with and take shitty classes like sociology and gender studies when you're not remotely interested in those fields.
