I would like to invite all members of this group also to join group "Math Lovers" on link http://www.chess.com/groups/view/math-lovers. Feel free to join any open match and vote game in this group. Good luck...

It's the whitebox/blackbox principle

A good rule is to only use a CAS to do things you (in principle) could do by hand.

I think computational tools are great once you really understand something well. If used before you understand something well, they can even be a barrier to understanding. And mathematics is so much about understanding rather than mere knowledge.

I think it is really annoying to teach a group of university students who can't even isolate x in an equation, by hand... It makes it really hard to make any real progress with them in terms of them solving problems by themselves not to say making proofs by themselves..

what do everyone think about the use of powerful Cas such as Mathematica,Maple, etc and their impact on mathematical research and mathematical education

would someone be willing to help me out with solving polynomial equations for my Honors Algebra 10 class?

sgtmaro, well partial diff eq!? .. Or DDE and SDE as I mentioned. Also a grasp of statistics is definitely a bonus. But an understanding of topology is also beneficial, and should make some of the results from applied maths more readily comprehensible. But also as chrka said, differential geometry is also applicable.. I guess it depends what you want to do..

chrka, yes SDE=stochastic diff eq, and DDE = delay diff. eq ... If you introduce delay delay effects into a model you can cause otherwise stable solutions to become unstable and vice versa. A basic example is the logistic diff eq with delay..

what are some of the great subjects in applied mathematics that are beyond odes

After differential equations and linear algebra, might it not be fun to look at some differential geometry? Summum_malum, what are SDE:s and DDE:s? SDE = Stochastic Differential Equation?

Phelon, like Elroch and chrka (how do you pronounce that?) said/wrote, give us some more background.. Assuming it was ODEs, you might want to look at PDEs or SDEs.. or DDEs for that matter.. they may be more tangible if you only know basic ODE stuff, and they too have some nice and interesting features.. but analysis is also fun and so is topology

Can you describe your background, Phelon? Of course people normally study many modules of mathematics at tertiary level, each of which is important in its own right. From what you have not mentioned, I would point out the subject of topology, and the more specialised topics that build on it. Also number theory. Lots of fascinating things there. But I am shooting in the dark without more information!

Guys any good math book recommendations to study after introduction to differential equations and intro to linear algebra? Like if you message me a link for some books I'd appreciate it.
