If you're going to be that moto you self study

Motivated

What's your endgame

Why are you doing it?

Why take linear at all?

Your plan is nuts btw

[neat lintel]

#1 You can do all of that in a single year

[little vine]

I didn't read it close but you can't take calc without alg 2 and precalc

Alg and geo you def can and should

[neat lintel]

i am wondering if i should skip math for the rest of hs (for 4 years). should i??
#2 It depends on what you want to do after high school.
Most people do not need math past basic multiplication and division.

[solid snow]

none of this plan really makes any sense

alg 2, precalc and calc ab at the same time
calc bc and multivariable at the same time

[neat lintel]

Just assume they meant in the same year

4.0 GPA and I've learnt nothing!

[main otter]

I got a question. How often do you guys rereview old material. Like I learn something do all the problems but it will come back in future probles then I'm stuck I needa rereview things more
Or do you guys just learn it and remember it forever lol

[main otter]

I just self study math all day just wish I could remeber things more

[neat lintel]

In the past, when I had a need to remember things I used a program called "Anki". It's a spaced repetition software that uses flashcards to test and improve your memory of concepts you are most likely to forget

[main otter]

I have a hypothesis to improve memory actually what I try to do is reduce all forms of emotional stimuli as much as possible, so more emotional responses get naturally released onto mathamatics. This is why things like SOH CAH TOA and stuff work or why remeberming a song or movie is extremely easy. You have to apply emotion to your math and restrict emotion from things that are taking up your memory because the brain is constantly trying to rid its self of unnesseary things.

Math may be hard to remember because it is more of an objective matter than most aspects of an individuals life, therefore its important to apply the subjective perspective onto math. AKA make it personal And take a more objective view on more trivial aspects of life

[last creek]

good luck, but it seems like a bad idea

[neat lintel]

or you can just remeber sin = y cos = x and tan = slope

You can shaunt energy into math and it will feel good and exciting but in my experience it's not good for you and over the long run your memory improves by mindfulness more

Try and see what works for you 💪

[bronze sun]

I'm thinking of trying spaced repetition for maths. Has anyone tried it as well? If yes, how was the experience?

[leaden torrent]

spaced repetition is meant to be a system for memorizing things

the difficult part of mathematics is very rarely memorization

if youre struggling with remembering definitions then maybe itll be helpful?

but i think youd get much more mileage for your effort out of just doing practice problems

Hate LaTeX so much comparet to beloved Typst xD

[surreal sapphire]

no

too bad

[burnt ledge]

what the heck is typst

[surreal sapphire]

typesetting language

[burnt ledge]

Looked at thw wedsite for about 3 seconds, looks like markdwon

[surreal sapphire]

yes, its written more closely to markdown

but there is a reason why tex has been used in pretty much unchanged way for decades

[burnt ledge]

Yeag

(its better

[deep mango]

I think more so than little linguistic differences

every mathematician needs to be fluent in TeX

so forcing people to learn a bit of it here is a good way to start building that skill

[topaz surge]

Wasn't using TeX up until about 6 months ago, changed my life, ℵ0/10, would recommend

Hello!
Did anyone do MIT challenge (Finishing a MIT undergraduate major in 1 year instead of 4) here?
And what's your opinion about doing AI major in 2 years (instead of 1) aside to some mathematics?

[long matrix]

I want to hear peoples opinion on the university challenge

dont do hs, just skip to uni

[dusky furnace]

[limpid sand]

what is TeX

why not LaTeX

what is the difference

nvm i googled it

Latex was based on Tex

See the “Tex” in “Latex”?

[surreal sapphire]

ryc meant fluency in latex

knowing tex is probably not necessary (i dont know tex)

but in theory, this requirement could change in the near future

if other typesetting systems are "better"

but tex is really, really good

and typesetting is a surprisingly complex problem

solving it once suffices

[long matrix]

BK

[pulsar pagoda]

tell that to web developers

[untold cedar]

$ a/b $ in Typst is equivalent to $ \frac{a}{b} $ in LaTeX

[deep mango]

I think that's the best, but if for some reason you don't want to learn LaTeX then you should learn some kind of TeX before Typst is what I meant

[surreal sapphire]

the thing is that its more important how the end product looks than how easy it is to use (at least when its not that big of a deal, writing latex is pretty easy tbh)

there is also this thing about journals requiring .tex files to be sent

i think this is unlikely to change in the near future, so young mathematicians do indeed still have to learn tex

Using advanced tikz graphics on Latex has generally been a nightmare for me

[solar hawk]

these look pretty good, and i assume it would be easier to make in typst than latex

regardless latex is just iconic

so latex wins

never fucking mind

I TAKE IT ALL BACK

IM TYPST FANBOY

[light needle]

latex has all the packages

[solar hawk]

yea

[light needle]

so you wont get much out of different things

[solar hawk]

the syntax isnt hot like that

[light needle]

well idk I like latex syntex

and u can like

[solar hawk]

maybe ill make a compiler to latex

[light needle]

define \vec if u want

[solar hawk]

so its still latex

the syntax is

[burnt ledge]

TRUE

[solar hawk]

so hot

im actually

struggling to

[burnt ledge]

but modern stuff often sucks

[solar hawk]

the UI is scrumshious

it updates so fast...

[light needle]

I really dont see why this is better than latex

[solar hawk]

IT UPDATES COMPONENTS INDIVIDUALLY

[light needle]

so does latex!

use \subfiles

[solar hawk]

sounds like more work

only downside i see

of this

is that LaTeX has like

a massive ecosystem

and this shit empty asf

[light needle]

yeah i mean I needed to draw quantum circuits

so i googled it and found a package

latex has everythin'

its the standard in everything STEM

[solar hawk]

y were u drawing quantim circuits

what is that

ok

i think ill stick to latex

i just wish

we had like latex++

[light needle]

there is not a problem with fortran either tho

[digital galleon]

What maths is involved in quantum info?

[solar hawk]

prolly LA

[digital galleon]

Like specific topics if you get me

[light needle]

Plenty of things, but for me its primarily linear algebra and operator algebras.

[solar hawk]

CALLED IT

ill just make my own compiler

for Latex++ -> Latex

one day

nobody take my idea

ill find you

[digital galleon]

I see. It sounds interesting but never looked at it as it is far beyond me. Does it have any connection to QM?

[light needle]

yes, quantum info is using quantum model to do information theory

things like turing machines are based off a classical model of the world

[glass peak]

Latex is incredibly user friendly, 99% of the things you would want to do in latex work exactly how you’d expect them to

What do you find to be un user friendly about latex?

[mint canopy]

I sympathise with the fact that LaTeX has a pretty steep learning curve, but as a fairly experienced user I don't see any reason to move to anything else at this point in time.

I need to look at typst in more detail tbh, but I remain unconvinced.

I would suggest you stick with learning latex for a while, since it's the standard, before trying to change the standard :)

[neat lintel]

copy someones template and google things as you need em

[glass peak]

I believe there’s a good series on writing in latex on YouTube, guy called dr trefor or something like that

It is quite straight forward when you get started though, like I said there’s a 90% chance the syntax for something you want to do is just what you’d think it would be

[sly flint]

Discord died and I lost most of my message. Here's like a small bit out of it, I can't express everything cause I really need to sleep now. (3 am here) :p

The whole \ situation and how it deals with certain arguments.
I'd rather have some keywords reserved and used as functions, for example:
Instead of \frac{x}{y}
frac(x,y)
For matrices:
matrix([1,2,3],[4,5,6]...).style(square)
I would also prefer a more typst approach to things.

[sly flint]

Trefor bazett?

[glass peak]

I mean you can set up custom commands, I also write all my latex in VScode which has predictive text. If I type an @ symbol and hit enter it automatically types in \frac{}{}

There’s a lot of things that are slow to start with but incredibly easy when you’re used to it

[glass peak]

Yeah I’m sure it’s that

[sly flint]

I hadn't thought of that.

Hmm.

[pulsar pagoda]

also if ur using latex in Windows i recommend using strawberry perl

since perl is a tex dependancy

[sly flint]

Gotcha

[glass peak]

Just stick with latex for a while it’ll speed up a lot

When I started I used to hand write my homework and slowly rewrite it into latex, I can now just type everything I think straight into VScode without any issues. You’ll get there and your life will be a lot easier if you learn Tex, it’s what everyone uses

[sly flint]

I'll definitely be using VScode for latex now that you've mentioned it. It would be nice to work with something familiar to me, and using commands for certain code blocks will really come in handy. I guess it's not too bad after all. I'll go sleep now.

[normal sparrow]

Does writing proofs help you become a better writer overall?

[glass peak]

I wouldn’t say so, I think reading a lot of proofs definitely helps your mathematical writing though

Proofs by different authors especially, helps you to expand and develop your skill. I would say though I think it’s basically just your mathematical writing that improves, it’s a very different style of writing to that of really any other field

[neat lintel]

is it just me or are the subscripts in this super confusing?

you can always just do the hardest handful of exercsies or find a textbook with harder exercises

though i think early on its also really easy to read an exercise and go "oh yeah, this is easy, skip"

its especially bad if you have solutions and can just go "oh yeah, i wouldve done that"

that the norm of that vector is exactly some given constant

I know that, thats how I know its a circle, I spent every last brain cell I had calculating it by hand for a school project

[visual breach]

If you are not overestimating yourself what are you doing

Staying depressed indefinitely?

[shell nova]

its just that I've never seen a parametrization of a circle without trig functions in it so I was wondering if maybe its a cool thing I found

[surreal sapphire]

there are well known parametrizations of the circle in terms of rational functions

however what you wrote down looks weird

you can arrive at a rational parametrization of the circle by fixing a point on it and considering straight lines through it

[visual breach]

The projection?

[surreal sapphire]

but you should arrive at something like ((1-t^2)/(1+t^2), 2t/(1+t^2))

with the caveat that you need to formally include a point at infinity or something, otherwise you miss a point

you dont need to project

each line corresponds to a point on the circle

so you associate the slope to the other point of intersection

hi, i would like some insight on something that have been bugging me about the sine and cosine function waves. It is true that sin(x+90)=cos(x), we can prove it using similarity between the triangles formed on the trigonometric cycle. But despite this proof, the waves formed on a graph for those two functions do not match (the same happens with cos(x-90) and sin(x)). Is it simply an error on my graphing calculator or is it something else, and if it is, can you explain to me please? I've tried using the desmos mobile mobile app, the geogebra mobile graphic calculator and the microsoft maths solver.

[river moon]

you're subtracting from x radians 90 degrees, which doesn't make sense

[glass peak]

Your calculator is probably in radians rather than degrees, use pi/2

Degrees are nice for doing like geometry problems but radians are superior for just about everything else. Anything that uses trig functions typically expects radians

am i dumb or is that not useful

the nn can/will fit random data too

how is pattern defined?

[river moon]

it will fit no pattern if your data has no pattern

well, it will fit random pattern at best

[fervent flame]

i meant along the lines of, say your data is linear

you would you extract that the nn identified said linear pattern?

[river moon]

there's many ways to measure quality of recognition of the data by neural network

e. g. test/validation datasets, cross validation, a bunch of metrics

[fervent flame]

i mean sure, but those are only statistical

[river moon]

there aren't any better options so far

answering "no" would be unsatisfying anyway

[shell nova]

I did thats how I figured it out, basically I was playing around with the path traced out as you slide 2 tangents along functions where the tangents are always prependicular to one another and found that when the function was x^-2 the perpendicular tangents traced out a circle, I then calculate the equation of their intercepts parametrized by the point of tangency of one of the tangents and voila I got that equation
here's the geogebra link:

How on earth did you underestimate Desmos.

I bet that's more than possible

[shell nova]

probably just very suboptimal

like tell me how you would go about tracing the interception of 2 tangents without solving for the x and y values ?

like in geogebra I can just go:
intercept(g(x),h(x))

[split pawn]

Wait what interception of two tangents.

Oh like the general one?

[shell nova]

bruh just click on the geogebra link xd

[split pawn]

What's up

[vocal roost]

Hello discussion 2

Had to evacuate because #discussion turned into group theory and sus stuff.

[split pawn]

Okay

Talk

[vocal roost]

i dont know what to talk about

[split pawn]

Then whyd you come bere

Here

[vocal roost]

I have absoloutly no idea.

[ocean harbor]

Let's talk about java

[vocal roost]

I know nothing about java

I program python though

[ocean harbor]

Awesome

Py is better

[vocal roost]

For beginners like myself, sure...

[ocean harbor]

Yeah I'm also a beginner

[vocal roost]

I don't want to declare variables and go:

local blah blah blah

or is that c++

[split pawn]

I gotta wake up in like five hours

[zealous garden]

I like declaring variables

[vocal roost]

I just want to declare using one single letter, or more

that's it

[ocean harbor]

My code finally works

Binary tree in java

[vocal roost]

s ä s

[ocean harbor]

What

[zealous garden]

It's a good thing that you have to tell the computer "yes I meant to type that, this is going to mean something"

[ocean harbor]

What does that mean

[vocal roost]

s u s

[zealous garden]

Why would you want to take that away

[ocean harbor]

oh I see

[vocal roost]

I do shit like this for example.

people be like: BUT YOU CAN USE LOOPS
My mathemathically incompetent brain cannot represent that in a loop.
**you can... it's just tedious for me

[split pawn]

Lin alg

[vocal roost]

Yeah this is a (2x2) x (2x2) matrice calculator I programmed

[split pawn]

Oh wait

I thought

It was JavaScript for a moment

[zealous garden]

Ee

[vocal roost]

no no, it's just python

[zealous garden]

Ew*

[split pawn]

Yeah well

[vocal roost]

It's not optimal okay

[split pawn]

I'd rather use JS

[vocal roost]

I just want to use python because it seems simple and fun to start with

[zealous garden]

I've done some quite unoptimal things but not this and always intentionally

[vocal roost]

Well this part disturbs us all

I know

[zealous garden]

I like obfuscated code sometimes since I only do it for fun

[vocal roost]

but this shouldn't pose a threat

[zealous garden]

Why are your matrices filled with strings

[vocal roost]

Because they are empty at first

[zealous garden]

So start with 0

[vocal roost]

eeeehhh

[zealous garden]

I'm gonna vomit

[vocal roost]

It doesn't matter... tho?

does it?

[zealous garden]

That's fucking disgusting

[vocal roost]

this would be like:

in python

[ocean harbor]

Someone did that

[vocal roost]

huuh

[ocean harbor]

I absolutely have no idea

[ocean harbor]

That's for binary tree

[zealous garden]

Why not

It's already done for you

Einstein Summation notation is basically For Loop notation

[vocal roost]

well you were right

it does look less disgusting

[zealous garden]

A_ij B_jk

= AB_ik

You should be able to write a for loop from that, easily

[vocal roost]

I can't represent it using a loop, my brain cannot wrap around what's going on.

because matrice multiplication is still new for me

[zealous garden]

The for loop just iterates through your indices get it

For index I, (bla bla I)

[vocal roost]

I know how they work, it's just... hard to translate over to code

[zealous garden]

Python is already pseudocode, that's one reason I don't like it

[vocal roost]

Well...

It's not optimal but... certainly acceptable

[zealous garden]

If it works it works

[vocal roost]

yeah it does, let me show you

[zealous garden]

I'll complain about anything

[burnt ledge]

if u want to do matrices in python why not just do matrices. Instead of messing around with lists

[vocal roost]

"lists" is the wrong word

[zealous garden]

Even if I love it with all my heart

So don't take it personally

[vocal roost]

that's how I have to represent them in python tho?

[zealous garden]

Matrix in CS ≠ Matrix of a Linear Transformation with respect to a Basis in LA

[vocal roost]

I always thought matrices were represented with lists, in python.

[shell nova]

I think he might've meant use like a numpy array maybe

[vocal roost]

they are 2D lists

numpy array?

[shell nova]

numpy is a library you can import

[zealous garden]

In CS a matrix is a 2D Array

[shell nova]

and it has a bunch of cool built in features

[vocal roost]

is it a module or...

just...

a random file

[zealous garden]

And a List is an Array with extra structure

[shell nova]

its a module

well its a library

tomato tomato

[vocal roost]

Well alright, let me see

[zealous garden]

In fact, a Vector is an array with extra structure

[vocal roost]

alright

[shell nova]

its very useful especially if u wanna do linalg, it has a lot of functionalities like it will help you automatically find the eigen vectors/values for a matrix if u wanna

[vocal roost]

that's a lot of interesting never-seen stuff before

[burnt ledge]

import numpy as np
mat1 = np.array([input("Enter number into matrix 1: ") for _ in range(4)]).reshape((2,2))
mat2 = np.array([input("Enter number into matrix 2: ") for _ in range(4)]).reshape((2,2))

print("Multiplying matrices...")
prod = mat1 @ mat2
print(prod)```

or some similar sludge babble

[shell nova]

btw take everything I say with a grain of salt because I am an idiot

[vocal roost]

Uhhh

[shell nova]

oh I was right

he meant numpy array

[vocal roost]

I have never used this kind of programming before to be fair

[burnt ledge]

If you wanna matrices get on it

[vocal roost]

Ok

[shell nova]

don't worry about it xd

oh if ur new to coding python and stuff pro tip, use chatgpt all the time

[vocal roost]

I don't need chatgpt, lmao...

not right now at least.

[vocal roost]

error in your code, sire

[burnt ledge]

at least show me the error

[burnt ledge]

also im not surprised my five second phone typing slop didnt work perfectly first try

[vocal roost]

lo

[burnt ledge]

Okay wrap the input inside an int

[vocal roost]

oh

[shell nova]

wait what r u trying to do?

[vocal roost]

you input strings instead of integers

lmao

oof

Okay

[vocal roost]

well that's certainly a short way of writing stuff I guess

[burnt ledge]

o7

[solar hawk]

That is not aesthetically pleasing

[zealous garden]

Get rid of the encapsulating brackets

[vocal roost]

That was my way of multiplying matrices by the way

lmao

(Not my code)

[solar hawk]

I think

I think i am about to

Commit a war crime

[cinder zephyr]

What about just using numpy

To multiply matricies

[solar hawk]

Why would you.. write it out like that…

[vocal roost]

Well it works

[solar hawk]

😭😭😭😭😭use a library or you could have done a loop 😭

[solar hawk]

I dare you to make an n x n matrix multiplier

[vocal roost]

I cannot possibly wrap my head around loops when it comes to matrices like these.

[vocal roost]

I FAIL-

[solar hawk]

Atleast try

[solar hawk]

Have you looked up the formula for matrix multiplication?

It is formatted literally in a loop

[vocal roost]

Yes, and I couldn't even translate it to code

because 01's fuck my brain over then you think

[solar hawk]

Huh

[vocal roost]

It took me... 30 minutes to solve one matrice properly

[solar hawk]

No like literally it is one to one

$\sum_{i = k}^n f(x)$

[fathom swallow]

amukh1 | (Jay,Wraith Obsessedddm

[vocal roost]

How is... this relating to matrices

[solar hawk]

for(int i = k; i<=k; i++){}

[solar hawk]

Look up the formula for matrix multiplication

[vocal roost]

I know how to do it, but it TAKES an unbelievably long time to wrap my head around it

Like this made me fucking die

[solar hawk]

$(AB){ij} = \sum{k=1} A_{ik} B_{kj}$

Iirc

[vocal roost]

I can't translate that...

I mean I know dot product row times the colums, but that's it

[fathom swallow]

amukh1 | (Jay,Wraith Obsessedddm

[solar hawk]

Have you learned summation notation?

Idk what els to say

[vocal roost]

uh yeah... And I can't translate this into matrices.

[solar hawk]

Wdym translate it into matrices…

Why are you translating

[vocal roost]

...What am I looking at

[solar hawk]

If A and B are matrices

The component in the ith row and jth column

=

That sum

Or

The sum from k=1 to n of

[vocal roost]

Yeah I can't translate that to python, because I am mathemathically incapable of such deed.

[solar hawk]

Ok

[vocal roost]

I mean yeah, I can do seperate programs for 2x2 matrices, 3x3's etc, but that's it.

[solar hawk]

Ok

1024 x 1024

[vocal roost]

I cannot do that

or I can, but it would

take an unfathonably long time

[solar hawk]

If you can do

1x1, 2x2, 3x3

How are you not noticing a pattern

[vocal roost]

It's not possible

I said

I cannot mathemathically compute it in my fucking brain

[solar hawk]

Ok

Fine

[vocal roost]

I mean yeah, you can do it sure, but I can't so yep

[sick kite]

do you know what the notation AB_{Ij} means nesy?

[burnt ledge]

wont work

Im the last person to put unnecessary brackets

im all for generator expressions over list comprehensions however. Doesnt work inside numpy.array

[zealous garden]

Weak

I like list comprehensions btw

Possibly my favorite feature of Python

[thorn bear]

my friend thought area for circle is 2 pi r

[tame egret]

mistakes happen

[thorn bear]

nah, i was doing quiz for fun... he got all of them wrong

[tame egret]

oof

[burnt ledge]

They are kinda sick

[neat lintel]

why

[chilly hull]

ok

i got lost

made it 15 minutes through the seminar before i died

[alpine comet]

what's the seminar about?

[chilly hull]

running currents through drops in immiscible fluids

[last creek]

Yep, very nice. I dislike how they are somehow faster than a normal loop, though. I don't get that

[chilly hull]

and then seeing what kind of model is created

[long wadi]

Great emoji

[ocean harbor]

bruh discord update now looks so weird

it's a heart now

[ocean harbor]

[chilly hull]

this is the coolest shit i will probably do this semester

im so glad i went there

[zealous garden]

Interpreter slow ig

[buoyant hollow]

@hard oasis why do you think I'm French 😭

[hard oasis]

What makes you think I actually care? I kinda joked about it, maybe too much then sorry, but I really don't

[buoyant hollow]

I just wanna know the French "signs" that I give.

[crisp falcon]

that is the derivative of the area with respect to r

(the circumference)

an odd pattern ive noticed is for symmetrical shapes, the surface area is equal to the derivative of volume with respect to r

for example

the volume of sphere is 4/3 πr³

the surface area is 4πr² which is equal to the derivative of the volume with respect to r

or

the hypervolume of a hypersphere is π²/2 r⁴

the surface volume of it is 2π²r³ which is the derivative of the hypervolume with respect to r

[reef geode]

That's actually so interesting though

[split pawn]

It has to do with how the volume is define

[mint mica]

forgot most of vector calculus (line ints/ greens and stokes or strokes idk)

should i relearn it before trying to learn more about odes and pdes?

[sonic sentinel]

does anyone know which quote i am talking about: there was a quotation from another book in an xkcd book something along the lines of "sin is a simple thing, it is seeing people as things". i think the chapter might have been "how to make friends"

Is that measure theory reference

[errant ridge]

yes they are very concise

quite useful

Can someone make money from a physics major

[ocean harbor]

no

[lusty shard]

Ahh even if u specialized in quantum mechanics

[neat lintel]

yes

do physics like build robots, planes and cars

[lusty shard]

Not researcher though right

[neat lintel]

why not?

make patents and license them out

get paid to do R&D

Math gaming 👍

[lusty shard]

I mean I really like the major and I might get into a really good uni but my friends and parent don't want me to major in physics cuz it doesn't make that much money.

But I just really like it and I wanna make money 💰 🤑 too

[neat lintel]

then make money

[lusty shard]

Well they say physics major doesn't make money

[neat lintel]

they stupid

people say that about everything

ignore them

[lusty shard]

So financially speaking I won't regret it right ??

[neat lintel]

its up to you

[lusty shard]

U mean like it depend on how and what I work and how intelligence I am just like other majors u need to excel in order to gain.

[neat lintel]

yeah and luck

did you?

[shadow palm]

No

[neat lintel]

then you should have proof you took it right

[shadow palm]

[neat lintel]

[shadow palm]

I can't exactly take a picture of it after I'm done if phones aren't allowed

It's got my info, I gave it to them, they say it doesn't exist (or at least they can't find it) and that means I wasn't there

No attendance is done during the test, just a headcount

[shadow palm]

What were you thinking of?

[glass peak]

Very ominous sight to walk home to

There’s no news of a massive fire or anything so I guess it’s just something more apocalyptic

[little vine]

I have some money for more education and am thinking of pursuing this computer science certification program at NC State. I've been comparing it to a coding bootcamp. I'm trying to improve my resume for a job in industry (programming or what not).

Does anyone with a job in tech have any comments?

[fervent flame]

are you in undergrad now?

/what are you/did you major in?

if ur still in undergrad just take cs classes/minor in it

certificates/programs/bootcamps are largely useless if you have some type of technical background

[little vine]

I have my master's in mathematics and struggle to find non teaching jobs @fervent flame

[fervent flame]

oh i see, do you know any languages?

do have any coding projects on your resume?

[little vine]

Not really to speak of, I know a little matlab

[fervent flame]

oh okay, yeah matlab wont be useful for 99% of jobs

do you have an idea of a specificication youd want to go into?

[little vine]

I don't really.. maybe this could help me figure that out

[fervent flame]

the 'natural' transition to industry for math grads would be a more data centric role

whether thats data sci/ml/quant. but also theres a decent amount of government jobs that seem to hire math people with little cs background

[little vine]

If I had the choice between this and a bootcamp do you think this would be better? I like that I would be certified from an actual college

Plus learn foundational stuff

[fervent flame]

probably the program, let me take a look at it. but keep in mind that both will be less valuable than coding projects you stick on your resume. of course, you should be learning and working on projects whether or not you do the program/bootcamp. and in general, anything that isnt a degree under your education section holds little weight overall

okay so its 3 classes of java and 2 classes of c, with one of them being an operating systems class

it doesn't seem like theres any built in projects into the program, so you'll have to work on those independently

i know that most bootcamps will have you work on at least a couple during their duration, albeit simple ones, but thats something to consider

also the program will not help whatsoever with deciding what subfield(s) might seem interesting for industry

from a pure learning fundamentals perspective, the program will be better, but from an application perspective, a bootcamp would be better

also something to keep in mind, the vast majority of data related jobs will use python/c++, which the program doesn't directly cover

[neat lintel]

you get college credits you can use towards a bachelors in CS if you want to get that later

[little vine]

Also true

@fervent flame @neat lintel I really appreciate the input. It's a big decision and have been having trouble figuring out what to do

[fervent flame]

is cost/time a big issue?

[little vine]

Cost is comparable. I think bootcamp will be online and have more convenient hours

Bootcamp is quicker

[fervent flame]

are you working like a temp job? if not (even if you are), you should start grinding yesterday

[little vine]

I'm currently a line cook

I just got out of teaching at a high school because I hated it

The cooking job is just something to get from A to B

When you say grinding, do you mean self teach?

[fervent flame]

yeah gotcha, and yes. in addition to the proposed program/bootcamp. and not just self teaching a language, but exploring different domains, i.e front end, back end, data sci, cyber, kernel level stuff, etc

there have to be some great resources that give an introductory overview for many of the areas out there

also the only older person with a lot of career experience im aware of here is rome of oxtrot, you may wanna ask them for their view on things

[little vine]

Next time I see them I will ask (they're not a he/him just fyi for the future)

But thanks so much!!

Does anyone here use Desmos app on android? The google keyboard keeps popping up everytime I switch to desmos app. Pls help me fix this...

[tiny forge]

You can just press back (on your phone) and itll go away, atleast for me. This seems to be a new bug as it didn't happen until recently

[strong notch]

Yeah but having to press back button multiple times irritates me...i need to see and write equations from other apps into desmos..

[tiny forge]

Yeah I agree very annoying, don't know a fix 😦

It only happens for me when I'm focused on a text box when I switch out, so a slightly better workaround is click the graph when you wanna switch out

[ocean harbor]

Just use the browser

The app is shit anyway

[digital galleon]

Interesting combo. Also that looks too good for a student lmao

[late dawn]

hmm

does physics makes mathematicians better?

learning them both

could it help with the practical side of things or that's a given within maths anyway

[raven plaza]

Witten be like

[sand wolf]

in general, having a problem domain is useful for motivating and interpreting math. Physics is a really really good problem domain.

[dense hornet]

I think it does up to a certain extent. The highest level of physics I took was Electricity and Magnetism and I feel like it helped me understand vector calculus way better. After that I moved onto Aerospace Engineering and I feel like the curriculum cared more about how to use mathematical concepts instead of why they work

[late dawn]

nice

ah, true, why understand where a formula comes from exactly if you can just plug it in. but its difficult (more-so annoying perhaps) for me to learn without proper use-case understanding

[dense hornet]

I ended up minoring in Applied Math though because it seems to go more into the practical side of math instead of purely theoretical things. For example, my Fourier Series class talked about the Fourier Series in away that it could be used to solve real problems like how heat travels or how a guitar string vibrates.

[fervent flame]

any first class in pdes will go over those problems

[raven plaza]

Maps contain geometric and topological information. An atlas of charts is a compatible collection of local maps that can be used for orientation. A compact bundle of maps used to be an irreducible component for voyagers, but tech advances have induced pullbacks on their distribution. This field has a simple extension to horoscopy and cosmological groups.

[dense hornet]

Woah this sound complicated

[neat lintel]

Hello guys, In essence, my question is, is it possible to understand stochastic calculus, differential equations, partial differential equations, and statistics/probability with only a basic understanding of geometry and space theory, vectors, dimensions, and so on? To study deeper the financial markets

[digital galleon]

😂 I don't know what you mean by space theory, but it sounds like a No. Most definitely not.

[digital galleon]

I mean. Over time it is possible to learn all this don't get me wrong lol. After all it is just learning. However if what you are asking is, is stochastic calculus the immediate successor of Euclidian geometry. The answer would be no. It requires a lot of in between learning.

[distant trail]

this is the beauty of math

[dense hornet]

I recently tried using Pillow on python and it feels weirdly interesting being able to convert images into numbers and do math on them.

[meager sonnet]

Mess around with convolution kernels!

[brave finch]

So, I would like to more or less completely relearn math. I do not have a strong grasp of the basics, I can hardly add or subtract in my head and I just cannot do most division at all. However, I do find math very interesting, particularly in the context of science, and I would like to learn it and become very knowledgeable about it if possible. I think the best course of action for me would either be some sort of book or an online course, and I was wondering if there was any recommendations for self-study. I have problems with focus, so anything that tackles that as well would help a lot.

Sorry again if this isn't the right channel, I just didn't want to use up a help channel for something so broad.

I was recommended Arithmetic For the Practical Man and the following books in the series by a friend, but I didn't know if it was the best place to start or not.

I was homeschooled so I missed some basic stuff like long division

Fractions, decimals

[fading notch]

A number of my friends love/loves riding bicycles.

[viral summit]

This is a dumb question but,

Is it not effective to study when your body feels tired, but you still can "focus"?

Like, most of the times i just dont study because im afraid that i wont remember anything, and that it will be time wasted because i feel tired

Is this just plain stupid of me?

[dense hornet]

I feel like people can be tired for a lot of different reasons.

When I took this class called Differential Equations with Linear Algebra, we were given 3 homework assignments a week because the professors wanted us to study every single day. The workload was exhausting and there were many times I felt tired but still studied hard because I wanted to get the assignment done on time.

I felt like I sacrificed a massive chunk of my life within that semester just because my university didn't like my community college diff eq class. However I got an A in the class and I decided to minor in Applied Math in case I got sick of my Aerospace classes.

[viral summit]

I see, so you could study even when you were tired, the question is, how much less effective was it studying "tired" than it was studying energized?

Is it really that much of a difference in how much knowledge you can process and retain?

[river moon]

as long as your brain is not tired

[dense hornet]

College/Uni is hard. Hopefully with practice you'll build endurance as you study so that you get less tired doing more work. Much like exercise.

[cinder zephyr]

Well I mean also like

learn your limits

there's more to life than just working

and also your brain just can't work 24/7

it isn't built like that

your 2 states of mind can't be work and sleep

[raven plaza]

Work, sleep, mathcord

[neat lintel]

I dislike how 70% of my grade is in the last two days of my course

they force me to spend 16 weeks on this course when only the last two days matter

[dense hornet]

I've had aerospace classes sort of like that. The mid term exams are worth 100% of the grade if you have a failing exam average but you can bring them up by retaking them during the final.

[glass peak]

Could be worse all my classes are 80

I’ll have classes that are 100% next year, I really don’t think exams should ever be more than 50% of your mark it’s quite stupid

I think my school has this belief that homework doesn't do much to gauge knowledge of the material since other students are allowed to help you understand the assignment.

Like most things it definitely depends on the person. I definitely prefer the mathematical physics approach to a lot of topics in math. Physics is also a really good motivator for me, i.e. learning Riemmanian Geometry for General Relativity

I have no doubt many people will find Physics as a clunky and unnecessary middle man for learning advanced math topics

[loud snow]

Hey

You are learning really interesting things lately

[cinder zephyr]

wdym lol

[split pawn]

Repeat

The mathcord part ain't working today

When an electrically charged object is brought near to a neutral object, in the dipoles, how do the electrons change their position so that they are nearer to the object when the protons already reserve that space, sometimes? Do they push the protons away?

[vernal token]

We used to discuss physics. Do you know if this is the case?

[loud snow]

When looking through chat history I saw you say something about ucp convergence I think

[cinder zephyr]

Idk what that is so not me lol

[sick kite]

@sleek wing do you mind if I dm you?

[sleek wing]

about?

[sick kite]

canI tell you in dm?

I hate rust

This is when you know you fucked up

[last creek]

imagine being safe

hit me with seg faults please

[visual breach]

People love segfaults, don't they

[zealous garden]

int x; printf("%s\n",&x);

wait

[spark rapids]

Hello @zealous garden

How are you doing?

[zealous garden]

int x;
x=(int)&x;
while(1) printf("%d", *((int *)x++));

What did the set say when it became closed?
I have my limits.

Huh?

[icy locust]

It lets you use Texture<'this> without adding lifetime parameter to struct Map

[neat lintel]

Yeah, but that's hacky

and third party crate

[last creek]

thanks, just what I needed

[wild badge]

any mathematics book to learn from the ground up

[neat lintel]

maybe this?

They start with addition and subtraction and end with Fourier series

So…this first semester is pain… Everytime I just finish an assignment or get progress in studying the next one comes…and I haven’t finished the study needed. Will studying hard and harder during the winter break allow me to not go through hell by the second semester?

[neat lintel]

Hello everyone

Could please someone with some expreience of studying math dm to me

I would like to ask a few questions regarding how should I study how can I in short time catch up the topics that I missed

[finite inlet]

what the hell lol

Why even smoke vape in the first place

I can’t even tell if this is satire or not
