The main topics include signals, controls, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and circuits but imaginary numbers do have more applications. #complexNumbers #mostbeautifulequation ►My Setup: Space Pictures: https://amzn.to/2CC4Kqj Camera: https://amzn.to/2RivYu5 Mic: https://amzn.to/2BLBkEj Tripod: https://amzn.to/2RgMTNL Equilibrium Tube: https://amzn.to/2SowDrh ►Check out my Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/zachstar

This will differ from person to person but regardless of your major just note that there will likely be some classes you struggle with more than others. ►Check out the MajorPrep Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/zachstar

As someone who enjoys math I was curious how much I would see in engineering during college as well as in my career and I hope this video clears up some of those answers.

In terms of their definition computer science is more math and theory based, while software engineering is more applied. However, in university most students in these 2 majors will learn about 90% of the same information, it really comes down to subtle differences. The good news though is that regardless of what major you pick, it won't drastically affect your future job outlook. ►Check out my Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/zachstar

Note that I really didn't 'count' some of the intro classes as "major classes" cause they are just the very basics. You'll also notice that all these majors take most of the same support courses which is why I only went over those briefly.
