I have PTSD from learning Smith charts in school.
My prof even said to me "If you'd pay attention, you'd understand this!". I was the only one who was brave enough to ask questions about it!
- OldSchool 1y agoHeh, this reminds me, don't worry: One of my extremely intelligent roommates in the 80s switched from EE to CS, seemingly due to Smith charts and Electromagnetics coursework. He went on to make a large fortune in software.
- gg82 1y agoSounds like it was the right decision then.
- thraxil 1y agoI switched from EE to CS (well, "Computer Engineering" technically) in the late 90s. Not specifically due to Smith charts, but that's relatable. For me it was just realizing that I was procrastinating on doing my EE problem sets, which just started to seem like endless grinding of differential equations, by playing around with whatever we were doing in the couple CS classes I had. I wouldn't say I've made "a large fortune" in software, but it's kept me gainfully employed for a few decades so I think it worked out.
