I'm EE. We didn't do Real Analysis or Abstract Algebra. Why not just go EE? It's more fun and practical. I will say I took a Math Minor (it was only two or three more math classes than we normally needed lol). Applied Math and "Theory of Games".
>>10218664Maybe you just have a shit institution. In our Signal Analysis class, we covered Fourier transforms, and the assumption that we're only pretending our signal is infinitely continuous, including the case where edges don't line up, so by "math" we use the point halfway between the disjunction.
My uni was trash with regards to the material and curriculum, and in one class, more than half the class was caught cheating and they swept it under the rug. Same as when GRADUATE students were cheating on a midterm. CC had much better teachers and rigorous curriculums, and students weren't entitled little shits that cheated to get ahead.
As to the papers, you could just be ignorant and poor at understanding why they present information a certain way. I've only encountered once where the presentation of material was obfuscated by historical shorthand, the area or volume produced by revolving a sequence of lines/curves around an axis. In 2D they used some weird formula, using 3D integration was much easier.
>>10218854I remember our "Stats for Electrical Engineers". It was poor, and I have a feeling they assumed people didn't know more accurate statistics, because in homework there were some odd problems where the true answer was a recursive calculation (I think it was something like an unbalanced probability of getting such bits out of a sequence correct, which would involve any combination of correct bits). Not exactly that, but it was a problem with a weird answer, and in general, not many students had good grades in that class. That was a consistent thing in my uni, the teachers and material were really, really bad, and only cheaters got high grades.
