Weak in math but dream of becoming an aerospace engineer - where do I start??
I’m currently an AS Level student who wants to pursue aerospace engineering. I never took math seriously until I realized this year that I wanted to enter the field. Since then, I’ve started learning everything I can that’s relevant — reading books on aerospace engineering (such as Introduction to Flight), studying essential programming languages (MATLAB, Python, C++), and experimenting with Arduino projects. I’m doing well in my other STEM subjects (Physics, Biology, and Chemistry), but my weak foundation in mathematics has been a constant concern. I understand that aerospace engineering involves a lot of advanced math, and I want to strengthen this area to prepare for the future.
What is the best way to prepare for the transition into proof based mathematics in college following high school. #Spring25
I've taken Calc I-III, Linear Algebra, and I'm currently studying a bit of Real Analysis, but I just want to make sure that I'm fully prepared. ?
