Hi,
Well as an engineering student, wolfram has helped me through numerous assignments, the most useful feature being the step-by-step guide through that tough differential equation. This feature is limited to non-paying users, so this might be worth a look. For students, its $2 per month including the extra 3 months.
The basic service is free, the Pro subscription costs money.
Lol step by step solving of differential equations. Love it, too bad (or maybe not?) the hardest calculus in civil is simplified to either rectangles or triangles anyway. Maybe for the mech or elec people.
Haha yeah, transient analysis in electrical =.=
Sounds like something to look forward to… oO
But even civil do differential equations in first year right? We did up to second order ODEs.
Yea you do ODEs but only the maths subjects, but the actual civil/struc subjects completely avoid ANY calculus (maybe finding the TP - but there's probs an approx for that as well). I did a maths major as well and I can tell you, most useless subjects I've ever done if you want to go into civil/struc. Only maths needed is high school maths.
Maybe depends on where you study (lec notes from other international unis seem more maths intensive). Sure some topics involve ODE and PDEs (derivations) but its always just the one slide with "You do not need to know this".
Interesting. I am sure my civil eng class mates would love that :-)

You might want to change the title to "3 Months Free with Annual Subscription $49.95"
Done, thanks for the heads up.
This is like google on steroids. The free site is sufficient for me though.
I got the offer in the mail too, but as a student on summer break the extra 3 months get totally wasted so didn't bother.
Thought wolfram was free?
