Study Notes
Civil Engineering
- The primary focus of civil engineering is designing, building, and maintaining physical infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, canals, and buildings.
- Civil engineering is typically associated with public works, but NOT with military equipment, such as tanks and missiles.
Distinction from Military Engineering
- Civil engineering is distinguished from military engineering by its focus on non-military infrastructure and projects.
Where Civil Engineering Takes Place
- Civil engineering can take place in various locations, including urban and rural areas, and even in remote or disaster-stricken regions.
Engineering Disciplines
- Civil engineering is considered the oldest engineering discipline, and the second-oldest is mechanical engineering.
Compound Interest
- Compound interest is the interest earned on both the principal amount and any accrued interest over time.
- Compound interest differs from simple interest, which is only calculated on the principal amount.
- The simple annual interest rate is the rate of interest applied to the principal amount over a year.
- The compounding frequency is the number of times interest is compounded per year, such as monthly or quarterly.
- Reinvesting interest in compound interest results in exponential growth, as interest earns interest over time.
