Post #145,585 by hnick 3/11/04 11:43:41 AM Reply	Sure, I suppose that's why they offer it I'm an engineer, so my default viewpoint tends to value applied math. I do tend to be suspicious of people with no engineering or scientific background fitting themselves in an engineering envirionment as a peer of engineers. That's just me.
Post #145,591 by ben_tilly 3/11/04 11:50:33 AM Reply	Understandable I can understand why your default viewpoint values applied math. But the fact that you know more of the math that you value doesn't mean that you know more math than the other person that you're dealing with. The areas of math that you know is a much smaller part of math than you likely realize. OTOH I definitely hear your doubt of non-engineers in engineering positions. But Andrew Grygus has some things to say on that topic that I hope you hear some day...

This isn't a knock of math education. I would say, go back and get the engineering MS, but guess what? You'd join the growing list of unemployed American engineers. Check out the stats for unemployment among EEs, the cream of the crop. EE is as hard as physics as a degree program - maybe harder because of labs. -drl

B.A. in math - (hnick) - (9) - March 11, 2004, 06:59:52 AM EST

Ah yes. That's a "teaching" degree. - (mmoffitt) - (3) - March 11, 2004, 08:46:51 AM EST

That position seems like uninformed BS to me -NT - (ben_tilly) - (2) - March 11, 2004, 11:10:23 AM EST

That's the second time that I've been accused of that today - (ben_tilly) - March 11, 2004, 11:45:39 AM EST

What is any math degree good for? - (ben_tilly) - (4) - March 11, 2004, 11:09:00 AM EST
