I'm an electrical engineer who, more or less, has moved over to the software-defined side of things while retaining some solid analog fundamentals. Hopefully going to settle on a particular field (i.e. data storage) since I'm somewhat all over the place at the moment.

Also, in my spare time, a language enthusiast (both vocal and programming) and aspiring pro gamer. I can't say the latter has been going that well, but hey, I try for fun :P .

Vand, what is the difference in terms of learning and fields covered between an electrical on job apprenticeship which I done compared to an electrical engineering degree? I am guessing electrical engineering goes far more in depth in certain areas. E.g more into networking from start to finish and designing them etc? Where my studies were more focused on/around stuff I do on job, such as regulations, testing, laws, and everything of course but everything, all assignments and exams has a 60% pass rate, so you could be a qualified electrician not knowing 40% of whats going on lol.

Can you believe it, I was actually paid to compute multivariate derivatives for a day this week. Would've been living the dream if not for the tedious process of transcribing those long equations into code since WolframAlpha doesn't support Mathematica's CForm function.

I assume you're calculating numerical derivatives and not exact ones?

I could do numerical derivatives with my eyes closed, this was for coordinate conversion between two systems so the derivatives are "exact". For example, I might have ground range, altitude, and their velocities/accelerations and need to reformulate those rates in terms of slant range and elevation angle. Nothing complicated but I get the sense my colleagues found the prospect of doing calculus too intimidating so the project languished until it was handed off to me.

I mechanically purify and produce top-quality crystal-clear white sugar for a local refinery company, it's simple yet satisfying. Sometimes one must operate within the
shadows
to serve the
light
. For a man makes no noise over a good deed, but passes on to another as a vine to bear fruits again in season, in order that the world may ever be new.
