There are two free programs out there that pretty dam good: Octave and Scilab. Octave's syntax is very similar to Matlabs and I recommend it if you need a tool for matrices and it can plot as well, however I haven't used it for this. :wave:

Yeh, you're most probally right. I guess our course substitutes electronics for dynamics so we get a taste of electrical fields and civil fields.

Hi mate.. Engineering at UWS is good, despite alot of people's snide remarks and opinions towards the uni. The student body isn't comprised of mostly foreign exchange students like engineering degrees at some other unis and everyone's friendly. Most of the lecturers are friendly etc. The only...

pshhh you'll easily get in mate :) For a hsc delinquent like myself it will not be so easy :( I hate it how the uai haunts you even when you're in uni :bomb:

Sweet! What stream of engineering are you wanting to get into? What uni are you transfering from?

Awesome. Thanks mate. Hopefully either computer or electronics engineering, maby photonics. However my interest lies mainly in computer engineering. I'm from UWS so would'nt they have to take my piss weak uai into consideration since its an external transfer?

Yeh but it's a new course, there's no uai.. will it be supply and demand?

Uhh so half uai half gpa? I just spoke to someone from mac and they said they dont really look at your uai.. :confused:

I'm going to try and transfer into one of the new macquarie engineering degrees starting in 2008. They say the gpa required is 2.25, which is apparently a credit average in macquarie gpa standards, however my gpa is below 5 which is a credit average at uws. It's somewhere between 4 and 5 with a...

Yeh its not easy either, well at least not for myself. You're doing a bachelor of science in maths at uni, so I'm sure its a piece of piss to you. And you're second year.

Here's a post about engineering mathematics: http://community.boredofstudies.org/585/science-engineering/154212/example-1st-year-engineering-maths-attached.html

How's the maths down at UOW? does it follow a pretty similar regime?

Nope theres no yr 12 content in second semester. Of course you need to remember the calculus you did in highschool and first semester, but apart from that it's new content using techniques you learn in semester one, and purely new content you learn in semester two.

This is just an example of some of the maths involved in engineering. The lecture attached is a first year UWS lecture from week four of semester two regarding 'High order linear differential equations'. I'm pretty sure the maths content of first year engineering degrees is the same across most...
