NSE

Okay,

So, I've pretty much had it with math. It's cool and all; defines the physical realm, gives it depth and provides reason to it's seemingly chaotic direction. But, I'm done. Somewhere around finding the direction, velocity, acceleration, speed, spin and curvature of a cylinder, within a ball, within a cone is when it happened. That's when I thought to myself, "wait ... what?" So, I plateaued at absorbing the concepts.

It's 3rd, 4th, 5th, ... nth dimensional mathematics. Try to wrap your head around that for just a moment, fourth dimensional mathematics. You can't even conceive of a 4th dimensional object, let alone plot it's surface. The picture to the right, is a two dimensional rendition of Boy's Surface. It only looks three dimensional because of lines and color. A ball or truck has three dimensions. How can you conceive a fourth? Go ahead, think of a surface that has height, width, depth ... then what?? Hm? How about a fifth dimension, or sixth??

The professor couldn't even give the class an example where this type of math is used in the real world.

I was warned, though. Whenever I mentioned that I wanted to become an Engineer, practically everyone said, "you'll need to like math ... a lot of math." Somehow, I was ignorant to it.

Well, after picking up all the pieces of my skull and peeling my consciousness off the back wall, I decided it was time to change degrees. You're now reading about the next Network Systems Engineer.

What's a Network Systems Engineer you ask? I'll let you know as soon as I find out. I think I'm picking my degrees based on how cool or important they sound.
