#165138 - 4 years Responding to: ???'s previous message |
...for close to 50 years in the UK, by the time you went up to university, you'd been streamed into "science" or "arts" for the previous 4 years. You could get a degree in "only" three years, because you had been working your nuts off for the previous 4 as well !
Things have changed to the point when many first year students in engineering are barely competent in basic algebra, let alone calculus or ODEs. When I went, if you'd done the further maths A level qualification (three A levels, at high grades are the basis of the offer from the university for you to go - is this like you SAT result for US-ians ?) - then you could basically bunk off the first two years of engineering math, because you'd already done it to either the same or a higher level. Allegedly. Maybe I'm just getting old. Steve |
