I'm about to take the GMATs and was a marketing minor (international affairs major) and I'm looking at those stats like :leon:

I've taken many practice tests and done fine but still those stats, while interesting, didn't make me feel better

nikka please. In the real world we have microsoft excel for this shyt. Youre proving my point but go on. Bring out the pen and paper and start cracking down on them integrals and differential equations.

I bet you really think Tim Cook turned Apple into the most valuable company ever using his engineering degree more than his MBA huh. :rudy:

The models are important, but it takes the business mindset to be able to apply them. Cause point blank, if youre honestly trying to tell me that the most prominent CEO's worldwide could tell you the integral of y = 1 / (square root) of (1-x^2).... off the top of the dome or better yet bring out the pen and provide proof...youre kidding yourself

you proving my point that you clearly aint taken calculus :cheff:

lol @ business mindset to apply a model

its always the stupid people who try to discredit math

and how is that. :russ:
Nobody is discrediting Calculus, its especially important in economics. Math is the most important thing in this world and my favourite subject. I have no clue what youre talking about.

Math 1M03,
Math 2L03

are two classes Ive taken @ McMaster University. Any finance or accounting major has no choice but to take calculus :what:. Google em. i wanted to minor in math but the way they teach it is just by throwing up a bunch of shyt without showing its importance. No problem solving or nothing. You can easily teach somebody how to find the integral or derivative of anything. But if they dont know the application of it or about what it is theyre applying the knowledge too then whats the point??? It's just letters and numbers on paper at that point but I'm the idiot?

Youre telling me that somebody who knows nothing about financial risk, can somehow make a mathematical model that is supposed to deal with financial risk? How can an Actuary be an actuary if all he knows is math, yet nothing about finance ? ::rudy:

shyt when I took that 2L03 Class I actually expected it to be more business related...come to find out the prof was on some engineering math shyt.

This is true for most business programs but, luckily, not for mine.

Wouldn't fukk with business at most undergrads, though.

@MMSex, please (and I'm being sincere) do something my professors wouldnt, and tell me how one can apply calculus involving inverse trigonometric functions to business/making money

youre obsession with trigonometry shows that you clearly dont understand calculus

Im a CHEM E major and i know simple mathematical business models

the fact you point to trig first, tells me all i need to know :whew: please dont speak on this subject again when its clear you havent taken the class

Just so you can stop with the trolling tactics and hit me with real facts, you know...educate me...here's a screen of my grades in the last two years @ McMaster which is a credible, top 100 University apparently
.
Math 2LO3, B (I got a 66% on the first test :bryan:)
Now explain yourself. :leostare:
11m8av8.gif

In the calculus I've taken:

Partial derivatives
Differential Equations
Integrals
Ordinary derivatives

have all shown their worth to me.

But taking Math 2LO3, a class that was titled, "Mathematical Methods For Business and Social Sciences"

and described as:


Selected topics from: linear programming, Markov chains, game theory, differential equations, and the calculus of several variables.

then seeing the proff do none of what was in the description made me :snoop:. I didnt even do poor in the class, but I have a bone to pick with the professor misleading us. I would really like to know, yet here you are acting all pretentious and arrogant.

I believe you. This is absolutely true.

That's why the world is fukked up.

We have dumb business majors, lawyers and PR people running the world.

Barry Obama is dumb?

:usure:

And I love how every conservative white guy you know of either wants to be a cop or a business major

"Nah tanner bro im telling you go into business because thats where all the $ is. haven't u ever seen the apprentice"

:bryan: at the work youre doing to try and convince me, the fact youre an accounting major all but seals the deal

my best friend is in Accounting at Rutgers and took "business calculus" which i tutored him in

he had a C in college algebra in his CC and pulled a B

i know exactly what both of yall do, but its not true calculus

and you dont learn or understand how to setup or solve equations dealing with business models.

like i said, dont speak on calculus like you understand it. You dont. You probably never will(thus the "how does this effect me, how is this important" nonsense)

lol @ psychology

good luck in getting your CPA breh

You really aint saying shyt. If you say it is not "real calculus" then say what is real calculus. Cause i remember going to my engineer friends and they said the same shyt I learned in that sophomore year class is shyt they covered in their freshman year.

Youre dissing psychology for what? It has applications for behaviour finance which is what I ultimately want to get into (Investment Mgmt).

But forget it cause I aint one to go back and forth on forums. :manny:

Here you have a youngn actually tryna catch some knowledge and what do you do? Spew out bullshyt and try to condescend? For what?
No wonder everyone makes fun of engineers on campus. Ol chip on the shoulder ass nikka :rudy:
I always thought you were a decent poster b (based on your help in the gym threads)

why would you expect me to teach you calculus when you yourself said that it doesnt matter :vince:

check yourself first

even in the gym, im willing to help folks that want to be helped

but truth be told, you dont need calculus for accounting

I didnt say that it didnt matter. I probably coulda worded my post better earlier but meh. Calculus is especially important for Finance and Economics (not accounting at all). I have said at least three times that I sincerely wanted to know...and you got all malicious :merchant:.

Did I diss engineers or math anywhere in this thread? :beli:
Alan Mullaly, Tim Cook, Stephen ELop (went to my school) are all engineers with their MBAs and now they are CEOs. 1 of them has turned Ford around during the Automotive Crisis. One of them turned a company into the most valuable corporation ever. And another...well we wont talk about him :mjpls:.

All I was trying to say is that you can be the smartest dude, know more math than anyone...but ultimately you can still end up on the outside looking in (kinda like my dad who wishes he went to Law or Business school). Or end up working for someone who's much less competent than you.

An Engineer with an MBA to me >>>>>>>>>> anyone. And as far as undergrad...an Engineer >>>>>. I wish I was an engineer during my undergrad but in highschool I just wasnt and still aint into science like that (although I was good in physics). As far as the "real" calculus shyt goes, I was learning what Engineers learnt in their first year of school like I said in the earlier post so :yeshrug:. All youre doing is spewing out foolishness. I say I see how Partial derivatives, differential equations etc affects me but according to you, I say none of it affects me. :snoop:
