   Which is basically what I'm hearing.   
      
   I'm doing mechanical engineering, and this would be my first year.   
   Although I'm an adult student.  What I do like about the math in   
   ME is, I see its application better than say I would with electronics -   
   essentially I can see things moving and can calculate with some   
   intuition. Kinda.... :)

   I have to study D'Alembert's principle - not sure how useful that will   
   be either.

   Yeah, did think about it, even did a bit of C programming.  My math was   
   never quite good enough to really take it too seriously.

   I actually did something like that once - long time ago now though.
