whats the best choice in engineering for a person good at maths?

Simply choose what field in engineering interests you the most. You will get a better feel for this as you start taking college courses. Most college curiculum is set up that you take engineering basic courses first, and then gradually expand into your field of specialty as you advance through the program. Find what interests you most and stick with that.\n\nI personally chose the a "Power" engineering specialty within the Electrical Engineering field because I found the power classes that I took in school to be the most interesting. I subsequently took a job working for an electic utility.\n\nI would not have guessed that I would have chosen that field when I entered college, but as I took classes I found it to be the most interesting subject.\n\nGood luck in whatever you choose ...

If you're good in the social sciences and may have some little math prowess, better take up economics. But I tell you, it would be best if you make a checklist of all your strengths and weaknesses and ask someone, maybe your guidance counselor to assess what probable career option to choose.

Engineering.( just get another degree )

Anything in the science industry. Mechanical engineering (hopefully you like math as well) and other kinds of engineering. Astronomy. Definitely astronomy. Or just stick to the pure physics and apply to grad school for it.

You'll need a shitload of math - heavy on calculus,\ncomplex variables with electricity and special\nengineering math.

Hi there, I am an engineering student from India. My calculus was not so good too, but then I found this awesome book and boy oh boy, it did work!\nYou will find "Calculus and Analytic Geometry" by "Thomas/Finney"  really amazing!\nIf you have a graphing calculator (not neccessary though) you will live calculus with this book, believe me!\nBut just in case you are a bit more experienced, i mean have learnt calculus a lil more in detail then I would suggest you prefer "Calculus" by Binmore Davies.\nGood Luck and all the best!\nIn case you've got some doubts on any other electronic engineering subjects, PPPPPlllleaaaaaaaaaaaaase feel free to ask, especially regarding the choice of textbooks.

why? can't do math? talk to your tutor, and help is there to overcome if there is any issue that puts you of it. if there is none (and you ought to know it pays well later!) switch to something else like biology or physics or law. tutors have all your marks and know where you go wrong and why you are disappointed. if they ask you to switch and you sure dont like engineering please switch.

No, you can be confident that the information you are learning will be totally useless when you graduate and get a job.  Instead you will be required to use common sense, a course that cannot be taught.  The secret to being a good Engineer, is knowing what is important info, and what is clutter dream up by academics (this especially applies to Engineering Math - all you will actually have to use is simple operators, percentages and other stuff every 17 year old will know - all Engineers I have spoken to have done no calculus since graduation).

Most colleges use advanced math to "weed out" people that may not be suitable for computer science or engineering.  It's not that you will use the math abilities so much, but the ability to pass an advanced math course shows that you have an aptitude for highly structured thinking.\n\nSometimes that is not the best logic.  Creative thinkers don't like structure and prefer to think about things differently.\n\nDon't forget - Einstein flunked math in school!\n\nPossible careers in science/biotechnology\nhttp://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/cgi/career/?PAGEID=3&SUBID=136

Most first year engineering mathematics courses are set out by the school, so you really dont have much of a choice of classes I assume.  I would also assume that you will be taking pre-Calculus and Calculus courses.  I found that actually reading the book was helpful for studying, but I know the situation you're in, you want examples that are damn close to the real thing so you can rest assured you're doing them right.  As a short cut, some books came out toward the end of my schooling called REA Problem Solvers.  These books are all examples of math problems, and Im sure there are ones that focus exaclty on the problems you do for class.  These books are probably the type of short cut you are looking for to save time.  Also, I would extremely heavily recommend buying a TI 89.  You can use that calculator to solve problems with both numbers and symbols.  You can literally solve almost all of the problems you will be given in first year engineering courses.  If you cant use that calculator on a test, then also buy one you can.  But definitely buy the TI 89, it is well worth the money.

mechanical engineering.....the best answer for your request....

You should know what type of engineering career you want in order to find the best enginnering school for you; it may not necessarily be the "Best School."\nThings may have changed but long ago I was told that MIT was the best but in their undergraduate school you did all the work and the Profs merely guided you.  In other universities you may be almost spoon fed but will receive a standard marketable engineering education.  One Prof said that MIT was so competitive that you must have all A's to get in; but there may be students there who are ten times smarter and willing to work ten times harder and are one hundred time more effective (probably an exageration but you get the point).  Many students dropped out I was told because they were not used to not being at the top.\n\nThen certain excellent schools such as Brown may be more theoretical than practical (probably by emphasis) than are other schools.  For example a Brown student might be more interested in what is happening to the molecules within a loaded beam to make a better beam; while a more practical applications school might emphasize how to load the beam and will it fail design specs.\n\nI studied mechanical engineering at NU in Boston and had a Co-Op job at a shipyard, where they had almost everything mechanical you could wish to have in mechanical engineering heaven and more.  That included sea trials on conventional and nuclear surface ships and work with the designers.  I paid my entire tuition once based on only two weeks of overtime (14 days/ 12hr per day) and graduated with money in the bank rasther than debt.  My highly satisfying career included almost 30 years as a Test Engineer (plus Design and Site engineering supervision) working on marine steam plants).\n\nHope you find what is best for you.  Good luck.

Math was one of my best subjects

Thats sounds like a good idea as you will def need physics at a very good level to do engineering!...;

How suitable, in your opinion, is my academic background for maths?

mathematics, chemistry and physics are the usual three and if you have the option take biology and computing options too.\n\nAs for university it depends on exactly what you wanted to do, there are lots of people working nano-scale systems in various fields. So pick one of the sciences or perhaps an engineering degree.

presuming you have to do English, Math and Science, can you also do AdMaths? \nor separate science?\nit depends what your school offers. \nbut D and T, ICT, engineering (if offered) would be good choices.
