You guys want to know why EE is the /sci/ major? Well here's why -
Math is the language of science. As Electrical engineers, we learn to describe and model the physical world using mathematical equations. This is a very useful way of describing and thinking with intuition about nature. Math is also a standard language to connect and communicate with other engineers and scientists in our field, not just scientists of our time but also the future generations. We also use the same mathematical equations to simulate our circuits in software and facilitate our understanding of much more complex systems with the aim of computers processing power.
-Linear Algebra, ODEs (ordinary differential equations) and complex analysis
In circuit theory you will face circuits involving capacitive and inductive loads. You use your knowledge of linear algebra and ODEs to solve these circuit.
You later on learn to use complex numbers to describe RCL behaviors with the aim of phasors.
-Partial Differential Equations (PDEs)
You will learn in quantum physics about uncertainty principle and Schrodinger Equation. This is where you use your knowledge of PDEs to solve Schrodinger equation for a potential well.
You will also see an extensive usage of PDEs in finding the potentials around sufraces and points in electromagnetism. (In 2D and 3D space)
-Vector Analysis
Vector analysis is an important part of electromagnetism. You will learn about vectors fields, vector products and vector analysis in scalar, cylindrical and spherical systems and learn to convert from one system to the other. You will learn about vector fields and their integration. In electromagnetism you learn about Stokes and Divergence theorems and how they are used in describing fundamentals of static electricity.
