Why do physicists make fun of engineers?
There are a few reasons why- although engineers make fun of physicists to the same extent! The physics belief is that they are studying how the universe actually works, and engineering is just applications of the stuff physicists study. One of my professors actually described it as “approximation of applied physics”.
What has more math physics or engineering?
Engineering is the union between physics & technology. Therefore, there is more physics than maths in engineering.
Why do scientists look down on engineers?
One reason why physicists look down on engineers is that their two disciplines are often artificially divided. In fact, physicists suffer more than engineers from this estrangement.
Can a mathematician become a physicist?
Yes. There are many good books in physics which are geared towards mathematicians, although these usually assume very good command over mathematics. Another piece of advice – if you want to become a professional theoretical physicist, you’ll need a great deal of depth of thought in certain areas of physics.
Why do engineers use j instead of I?
The imaginary unit or unit imaginary number (i) is a solution to the quadratic equation x2 + 1 = 0. For example, in electrical engineering and control systems engineering, the imaginary unit is normally denoted by j instead of i, because i is commonly used to denote electric current.
Are physicists smarter than engineers?
Average physicists are smarter than average engineers. But top engineers are smarter than top physicists. What about math? If these top engineers find any value in learning vector geometry, they will learn them faster than your top physicists.
What is harder physics or engineering?
Originally Answered: What is harder between physics and engineering? Physics is more maths intensive and finding out about why things happen the way they do whereas engineering focuses on mechanics, materials and forces and uses the knowledge and laws from physics to apply them to the real world.
Can a person weak in maths do engineering?
“I personally believe maths is important for every discipline, but some students are weak in maths and good in chemistry. They should not be deprived. They can go in chemical engineering,” Gupta said. “We should not allow students without mathematical skills in those engineering branches where the subject is required.
Are engineers physicists?
While the difference is subtle, it is important to not confuse the two. Simply put, a physicist studies the way the universe works, while an engineer applies the information gathered from these studies to solve problems and improve life for others.
Are engineers looked down upon?
No. With the exception of a few, nobody really does that. We do recognize that physics and engineering are different sorts of disciplines, and so a physicist expects that an engineer will typically be lacking in some area where the physicist isn’t, and vice versa.
Which is more difficult math or physics?
If you clearly understand the concepts of maths and physics, both are easier. Especially physics is based on concept application(imagination and visualization included) based subject so it can be much more difficult for the bookworms and those who dont understand the concepts.
