@Svantovit@Kerosene@LukeAlmighty I liked u I math. My degree forced me to take a minor and I was like 3 classes away from a bachelor's in it. I looked into what I'd have to do to get the full degree for fun and saw required classes like number theory 2: local field topology + galois cohomology and was like "yeah you know what a minor is plenty"
@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@Kerosene@Svantovit That killed all of my chance at Uni, since 1/2 of all subjects were math related, and it was assumed, that I understood the math proof language.
Well, I didn't. You cannot learn that shit in 5 months, especially while sleep deprived and with hands full of other problems, and after 1 semester, I failed about 1/2 of my classes.
So, I had no chance of recovering from that. I got in without exams based on my math skill btw :pepelol:
@Svantovit@Kerosene@LukeAlmighty If you're getting a B.S. or M.S., it's good to get a degree in Math. Otherwise, don't - there's a canon of texts which are sufficient to give you a good enough understanding of Math at the M.S. level and the university experience is unnecessary except to teach you how to write a proper proof.
And differential equasions were mostly covered in high school. But the problem simply was, that the jump between high school math perfection, and what was assumed to be uni baseline was insane.
@LukeAlmighty@Kerosene@Svantovit Shouldn't they have started you out with Calculus and Differential Equations? Those aren't proof-based classes, the first proof-based classes should come in 2nd year if you're majoring in Math.
@ceo_of_monoeye_dating@Kerosene@Svantovit To be fair, I moved to another uni later, and I can totally say, that I learned in 1 year there more, then in the 5 following years in the 2nd one.
