Probably
Thing is, top schools have demand and capability to offer higher level classes than many other places
upbeat shore
The biggest difference will be the quality of the professors you'd be exposed to, the quality of the advanced classes, and peer effects. I don't think the work is substantially harder except in a couple of weed-out courses like math 55 at harvard or honors analysis at uchicago
There is, for instance, a lot of grade inflation at princeton.
velvet dagger
For instance, the math major at many universities will have a progression of calc 1/2/3, linear algebra, differential equations, discrete math/intro to proofs as the first 2-3 years
How many classes will there be beyond those?
Hopefully some subset of real analysis, complex analysis, point-set topology, abstract algebra, partial differential equations, probability, numerical
Perhaps depending on whether the school leans pure vs applied math
Maybe some of these are gonna be considered graduate level
I've heard there are schools were Baby Rudin is considered a master's level course
Oh I wasn't talking about that as a sticking point so much as saying like
Maybe among schools literally ranked 200, you might find one school is mostly applied math
So they are more likely to offer shit like numerical analysis compared to point-set topology
But, say at Chicago
The Rudin-level course is typically done in second year
But now you have undergrad electives such as stochastic processes, representation theory, functional analysis, etc that are offered consistently
And grad courses start much higher
Anyway that was my general spiel to give a self-contained answer to your first question. Lower ranked schools, esp in lower priority majors like math, may not have the demand or resources to offer many advanced classes, so there is a risk that you'll be restrained somewhat. At least one student in this server I know is struggling with that
As for quant, are you looking to do quant trading or quant research?
"not going for a phd" okay so you're more quant trading then
Quant jobs are competitive and the name of your school can help
I mean if you're asking, presumably you have an offer at one of these top schools?
If so is there any reason for you not to go for it?
torn willow
Well sometimes you need to be in a certain school to get in
Otherwise they won't even look at your resume(for like Jane Street)
velvet dagger
Like if you don't have a choice you don't have a choice, at that point you make do with what you've got
But unless finances are gonna fuck you up at a top school, which is if anything less likely since aid is pretty good
I don't see the reason why not to go with the best place you can get into
Yes but master is tricky because it can be very expensive, and not as easy to get financial aid for as undergrad
I mean what's stopping you from applying to those sorts of places right now?
If you're applying to the states, financial aid can even cover that
In my undergrad, my total cost averaged 8k/year (because they determined we could afford that)

Undergrad = bachelor's degree
So my 4 year bachelor's degree costed me on average 8000 USD/year for living expenses. Full cost of living expenses is more like 15000-20000USD/year, but my financial aid covered a part of it too
I'd say apply to the places which give aid just to see. If it's too expensive you don't go
But don't deny yourself opportunities before it's necessary
wooden flax
You don't even need to be top 200 for a decent undergrad program, a college near me is literally unknown/unranked yet officers some courses in eg basic representation theory/algebraic geometry
velvet dagger
Invictus to be fair I think that's a matter of luck
wooden flax
obviously theres some correlation/causation
but there are t200 programs that probably do not have a decent program and non t-200 that do
wooden flax
yeah this seems to be mostly applied
velvet dagger
The other thing is, there's no grad program
But yeah I'll say it depends on whether you mean top n overall vs in math
wooden flax
velvet dagger
I'm saying in pure
wooden flax
oh ok
velvet dagger
Like, you have these options for pure and it's not like oh I'll just do grad topology....

that dosent mean anything, right
georgetown is 22 overall
velvet dagger
Yeah the correlation is definitely on the loose end to a degree
Though I figured there aren't gonna be many places that are, say, top 50 in math but not top 100 in the country. I'm not really familiar with many such schools so don't hold me to that
But it does feel like a school's overall quality/reputation is gonna be correlated with its likelihood of having stronger students, and thus a demand for more advanced coursework, as well as the resources to meet that demand
Especially in math, since that's gonna be a bit lower priority

By some careful inspection, a pattern may be found.
velvet dagger
I mean the pattern I notice right away is
First row of first matrix is abb
Second row of second matrix adds one letter to that, so applying a->b->c->a
First row of third does that again
Similarly, cac->aba->bcb is taking the sequence cac and just applying c->a->b->c
So the last one would be the first but with first and second rows swapped

table of contents from notes long ago
an absolutely fucking inordinate amount of time spent on sheaves
each section is one lecture, either one or two hours long

yeah I mean this is all important stuff, it's just like

honestly every AG course should require registering for two separate sections
where one lecture series is this bullshit
and the other lecture series is like

thanks for the offer i'll ask u with questions i have as i go along

lol yeah
everybody says its great but im looking at this and it seems kind of boring to be honest
maybe if i sit down to read it

I wanted to learn alg nt specifically
okay one question
what the hell is ant supposed to accomplish
like cutting through the abstraction what does this approach tell u about numbers that other approaches dont
hardy zealot
hey peeps

like cutting through the abstraction <:hmmCat:831508801646755850> what does this...
it encodes the information about numbers in ways that numbers themselves don't have trivially
A very dumb and not related example is how Galois theory tells you that x^5 - x -1 has roots that cannot be expressed by radicals, although there's no way to read that info purely from the coefficients. Algebraic objects have more symmetries and thus behave in a more constrainted way
reef elm
ahh i see
neat lintel
hello @hollow quest
hollow quest
Grüß dich
neat lintel
i actually got kinda
stumped
for some reason
because i didnt know how to account for the extra angle
that is phi
hollow quest
I see
Well
What you wanna do is resolve the velocity and acceleration vectors into components along and perpendicular to the incline
Then it's just a case of applying the equations of motions
Can we have that diagram here again
neat lintel
mental stratus
for inclined plane problems energy conservation makes life easier most of the times
hollow quest
Wait what are you meant to find again
neat lintel
the time it hits
hollow quest
ah
I don't think energy conservation would help us there would it
Anyways
Grab your incline
And rotate it
Until it's a flat surface
neat lintel
yeah
i knew it was like probably
just
making the incline be the x axis basically
hollow quest
A shift in perspective
neat lintel
OH WAIT
hollow quest
That's the best way to go about these if you're new to them
hollow quest
There is also retardation in the x direction this time
neat lintel
but wait, you have to still account for the gravity change
hollow quest
Yes
Can you tell me the component of gravity acting along the incline
In terms of phi
neat lintel
gcos(phi)
hollow quest
alright
neat lintel
Hmmm so I guess now it's easy
neat lintel
Is there anything else we have to take into account
neat lintel
Just equations of motions now
Yep plug and chug
hollow quest
not really
Unless they do something fun
Like explode the projectile
And break it into two pieces
neat lintel
Darn that was an easy question, should've made the rotation thing
neat lintel
And break it into two pieces
Oh god I solved a question about that
It was
Fucking wild
It was more about conservation of energy and stuff though
neat lintel
Yeah
I'll
Restudy all of mechanics in my second summer break
For now
It's MATH TIMD

hm question, how is ur guys' mileage with ebooks
i personally find they totally don't work for me, but what do you guys think

I prefer physical books but book expensive and I'm not a millionaire
reading pdfs for long makes me dizzy
at least I have access to cheap Indian edition books
molten ibex
why chatGPT can not do elementary math ?
neat lintel
i personally find they totally don't work for me, but what do you guys think
same, ebooks just frustrate me. they're clumsy, immaterial, and make me wanna throw my laptop aside
you can buy second hand books really cheap
I bought around 8 college books in the last 2 years, total maybe 200 euro
neat lintel
Same, buy used books
Saves you a lot of money
You could always use some pirated copy or something on the internet, but I prefer physical books
Not that I have much money, but I can at least sell those books again if anyone is interested in them.
young quartz
there are some websites which print and bind books
all you need to do is upload the pdf to their website and pay
after that they will mail the book to your address

where instead of 3x+1 we get x+y,
x=your number
y= an odd number that will be added to x
z= the number of steps from your number to 1
could anyone make this?

i dont think so
though @tacit tulip if you dont even want to share your proof, this is the wrong place
so this is more a general discussion rule
if you make an outrageous claim without backing it up, thats not a good basis for discussion
if someone genuinely believes they proved [big thing] and posts their proof, discussing that is fine imo
just posting an outrageous claim is (close to) trolling
vast surge
i dont think so
I just wanted to double check. Most collatz cranks seem to wind up being banned so I wasn't sure.
