Just got back my Advanced Algorithms midterm. As I originally guessed, it did not end well. I got 64%.
The midterm as a whole wasn’t that difficult though. I should have been able to get 76% easy but I didn’t bother to learn how to a specific algorithm. What sucks even more is this midterm [...]
So I wrote my Physics Midterm Friday night and it didn’t go by too great. I answered all the questions but I was unsure about a few of them. Besides that this weekend has been pretty quiet. I wake up, watch an episode of True blood while eating lunch, go to MC with nelson, sit [...]
I have my galois theory midterm tomorrow. I am freaking out. I have a tendency to fail pure math midterms. I hope to god I do well tomorrow. Expect an update around 5:00 with my reaction to the midterm.
After galois theory I need to start doing physics. I have basically fallen asleep through every lecture [...]
So I bought the collectors edition version of playboy starring Marge on the cover. I was pretty surprised at how much a playboy magazine cost. Its $8! I wonder how large their subscription base really is now. I am also curious to see how well this magazine did.
Anyway this issue just had a two page [...]
A while back I think I mentioned I had bought a moleskin notebook on a whim. During that time I wasn’t sure what to do with it but eventually decided I would use it as a dream journal.
Now this sounds pretty lame but I have a horrible memory. I always have pretty random dreams but [...]
So I think I will probably do my depth in physics. After looking through so many different courses I was stuck between physics and philosophy. I can’t make a prerequisite chain of length three in philosophy so that basically just left physics. Also there are some pretty interesting second year physics courses.
Anyways here is my [...]
I really need some input on what courses to take to fulfil my depth requirement.
Basically my depth requirement says I need to take 3 courses outside of math that form a pre-requisite chain of length three. So for ex. Econ 101, 201, 301, satisfies the depth requirement.
Currently I have 3 school terms left so I [...]
I need to find a good theorem to prove here on this blog. I may do the fundamental theorem of arithmetic since I think that is pretty easy to follow along.
These last few days have been pretty chill. I wake up, do some math, cry for a bit, do more math, and come home and [...]
My old rings and fields professor described Galois theory as, “The most beautiful math you will ever see”. That was basically my key motivation for taking this course.
As I go through the assignments I will occasionally have to prove something and the proof is actually pretty cool. I am not sure if this is [...]
Time to make this blog even more geeky. I installed a LaTeX plugin so now I can start making blog posts of proofs and what not from my math courses.
Let’s start things off with a simple math question.
A ring is defined as follows
If and then and . So this basically [...]
