Griffiths taught me all of undergrad EM in 3 hours during an open-book final.

For that I am forever grateful.

that is pretty good

I admit that I have never attempted that, so have no clue if wangness can do similiarly

Kitty,

Am serious about looking for an EM stud. Any ideas?

JM, I got banned for the usual GP activities.

Maybe we should have a mathematics for biologists thread to balance this one

It would start with "Anyone else having problems with their multiplication tables?" My wife has a BS in Animal Science. I use to wait for her outside of one of her classes, and for like a week the prof continued to lecture on the same thing; causes of blood pressure. He kept telling them that the pressure will increase in contracted arteries and decrease in relaxed arteries. I asked her why he kept telling everyone that, and she said that it was a difficult concept and got into more than just that. I told her everyone knows Pressure is inversly proportional to Volume. She asked why I would say that. I told her PV=nRT... The class was a lot easier for her after that.

I remember taking PDEs, and found rather difficult to grasp. While I got a decent grade in it, it wasn't until I had practicle applications (fluid dynamics) for them in other classes that I actually began to understand them. Yet, once I understood it made a lot of the classes easier (especially Thermodynamics, since you can just derive all the equations they want you to learn from 2 or 3 core equations)

One thing I found from my college experience is that many ppl never bother to "understand" the material because they feel it is too "hard" or that they do understand when actually all the did is memorize it. Take the time to actually learn the material as it will make everything so much easier.

Through our courses we were required to take Vector Analysis, Linear Algebra, and PDEs after Calc and before core course. One of the first courses is Heat Transfer, the professor wrote the first equation to learn on the board. To my amazement, half the class was confussed about what a dot product was... I about crapped my pants.

How would I go about buying tutoring? Is someone on this site a good tutor? I would pay a nice price for outstanding coaching.

	Full PM-box? Change here!

Ask your prof.

I used to tutor this stuff at Oxford, but I think the distances would be prohibitive.

when I was an upperclassman I use to tutor E&M and vector calc/PDE stuff

and I think I did a decent job

but I am a fairly lousy TA

so I must be no good for a lot of people

I figure maybe by correspondance? Or should I just hire someone here. I guess I want someone fairly sharp. I can do a lot of the self-teaching. What I want is someone to ask questions of (some may be pernisickety, some obvious) and someone to test my knowledge. (Written tests). I would buy a book for them if needed.
