/sci/ - Science & Math

Only with a PhD in triple integrals.

If you get a financial job, it's possible. Obviously after many years of experience, though.

NO GODS OR KINGS ONLY MATHS

Statisticians get paid pretty well. Not 300k well, but around 70-100k

A PhD in triple integrals? Are you serious? You can't get a fucking PhD in triple integrals, idiot, that's undergrad bullshit.
You'll have to study quadruple integrals AT A MINIMUM in order to even qualify for those 300k starting careers, don't kid yourself. If it was easy everyone wold be doing it.

>>5795737
Undergrad? It's more of a Master's thing.

>>5795751
Maybe if you go to a shit tier (<150k starting) school, sure.

>>5795737
Bullshit. Nobody can do quadruple integrals.

Successful engineers can make several thousand a week, as long as they work in a legal establishment with a reputation for keeping their customers clean and disease free.

Freelance engineers can make much more, but obviously there is a much higher risk of catching the buttaids.

>tfw this is in my course and i see this thread

>>5796049
What fucking wizardry is this?

>>5796062
last year undergrad quantum mechanics

>>5796049
>>5796066
how long does that take to solve?

>>5796068
I was going to ask the same thing, basically - do they really expect you to work that by hand, or would you generally pass it over to Matlab or something?

>>5796068
Years. A lot of mathematicians write their doctoral theses on those kinds of problems.

>>5796049
what is that even called?

>>5796084
It's a sextuple integral. They're an area of active research.

>>5796096
Would someone maybe be kind enough to explain to someone who has A-Level (UK) knowledge of integrals just what the duck happens with doubles, triples etc.

Even I very simplified overview would be appreciated.

Also maybe how something In mathematics can be under research? As in what do people who are researching it actually do?

>>5796070
By hand.

Here is further info and the solution for anybody interested

>>5796104
To my (very basic) knowledge, it integrating from the innermost function to the outermost, treating the variable of integration as the only variable and holding everything else constant.

At least, that's generally how double integrals work, I would expect it to be true of n-integrals.

>>5796112
Honestly I can't wait to take these classes, if I ever get to - I'd like to check the prereqs for a class like this, what would it generally be called? Is it just the last in a sequence of QM classes?

I'm trying to find the Taylor series but I can't focus lol,, I hate math
Can someone on /sci/ help me with my calculus hw please? If I don't finish this my teacher is gona fail me nd then I won't have above 3.7 gpa...!

>>5796124
Im in Australia so I don't have a standardised class number or anything that would mean much. Pre-reqs are first year physics which covered most things on a low level based on calculus, and multivariable calculus, an earlier QM class, and differential equations

I thought i would love it too, but im really not at the moment because i hate my lecturer and im too pressed for time to actually go through anything as much as i would like

>>5796039
I want to be a freelance engineer and see the world.

You couldn't find a simple expression that has no other elementary integral to troll with?
Shame on you, see me after class.

Well this seems like a good thread to ask, how much does a chemical engineer make in 'Murrica or Europe? Filthy argentine trying to escape a shitty country here.

>>5796170
<div class="math">\int_0^{\pi^2}\sin\left(\sqrt{x}\right)\mathrm{d}x</div>
That's boring shit... Also can be very easily approximated

>>5796175

Chem Eng fag here (well, still in college). Average starting salary is supposed to be 70k USD. It gradually goes up with experience and probably maxes out around 120k (that's with a Master's degree and decades of experience)

>>5796186
That's so undervalued. My brother is a real estate agent and makes twice that.
It's disgusting he adds nothing to society and is the pure definition of a parasite.

>>5796186
Can't you make a lot more in oil production?

>>5795756
he can

>sci
>still not using multiple integrals effectively
>1909 + 104

>>5796186
Argentine anon here, thanks for the answer!

>>5796199
You can always make more money wheeling and dealing, but that stuff can turn on you in a heartbeat.

Chemical engineering is a solid, steady income you can rely on, right up until the point that somebody writes a program to do your job.

Thinking of changing from accounting/ finance double major to Finance/ Statistics

worth?

>>5795518
Yes, OP. don't listen to these fools. My uncle clears 600k a year (literally) as an actuary working in manhattan. He has only a BS. The tests are hard as hell, but...600k a year. Obviously he didnt start at that but he started at +100k and that was in the eighties. Major money.

>>5796214
either way you are well positioned for good careers. At this point it is more a matter of what kind of work you want to focus on than earning potential.

>>5796206

Yeah, I think chem engineers working on oil rigs make an average of like 30k more, but they have to work on an actual oil rig and nobody wants to do that.

>>5796230
Naw bro, production: downstream work. anyway, they prefer petroengies/geologists on the rigs.

>>5795518
Sure OP, if you major in math and have a good long career, say 45 years or so, you should easily be able to make 300k over that period of time, that's only an average of 6,667/yr and I'm pretty sure that a math major should be able to make that, maybe not when they start but within a few years.
I'd aim higher, though.

We will all die penniless because we are on 4chan.
