I am going to study mathematics

Fuck yes, I am going to study mathematics, finally.
The first semester starts october 25th, it's late due to pandemic.
Classes will be online until they aren't.

One thing that you learn from teaching mathematics at the college level is that something in the education system has simply failed. What do you say to a student who, in a calculus course at a top 50 public university, does not understand how to add fractions? (I'm sure you learn this from teaching other subjects as well).

At this point, it seems standard to point one's finger at various pieces of the K-12 system. And certainly there are some issues with how school is structured. But the problem is really on the other end: universities are accepting too many people. Degree dilution isn't happening just because more people are seeking degrees, it's happening because universities are eager to give out more degrees. I think you can reason out why. These students should simply not have been accepted in the first place; university has turned into a continuation of high school (or worse), and this is not a good trend.

Are you going to furiously maths debate with your professor, >>1?

>>3
I am nearly 30. Did quit two courses before.
>>5
I am going to try to not draw too much attention, so probably not.
>>2
Where I live the debate is just the opposite, I've heard it said that while public universities are doing affirmative action programs, they could have just been accepting more people.

>>6
Said by whom? The same things might be said here, only by people in the same groups as those who let things get this bad in the first place. There is little ``debate'' to be had on this topic, due to the alignment of interests held by those who could conceivable effect any change.

It starts tomorrow! I'm gonna use Zoom and Google Meet to watch classes. I have to set up my alarm clock to 7 am.
>>7

said by whom?

Some professor once said it. I used to study control engineering but quit uni before, so I'm coming back.
I assumed that when you said "I think you can reason out why" you meant that private universities are eager to accept students due to the cash they get. So I said public universities in my country aren't so eager to accept students, etc, they are free of course.
Idk what the solution would be.. hopefully not give diplomas to people who can't add fractions? Each discipline should filter the ignorant, until they study things and acquire knowledge.

Time to study!

Currently at the end of the third semester, disciplines this semester are: Linear Algebra I, Calculus II, Mathematics Laboratory II.
There was also Physics I which I didn't pull.
That's because my DAD hospitalized me again early July and so I'm also doing the tests from last semester which I couldn't take then.
I must say linear algebra is pretty cool, and the book also shows applications, which is nice.

Forgot to say classes have been presential since my second semester.

i am almost done with medicine.

1 + 1 = 7

Fuck, I have to study for two exams that occur next week, one of Algebra I and other of Linear Algebra II.
I don't know why I'm not studying as much as I would like and this might give me poorer marks than usual. Edited on 05/04/2023 15:32.

>>17
So did you take Linear Algebra I before any regular Algebra? Though linear is quite easy.

>>18
Yes. Linear Algebra only deals with the algebric structure of vector spaces, while in Algebra there is all kinds of things, Rings (commutative, with unity), domains, integral domains, fields, ideals, prime ideals, maximal ideals, and there are many different kinds of sets and definitions.

>>19
Well, fields are generally vector spaces and that's why they work so well for solving Maxwell's equations.

>>20
Fields are invertible but in vector spaces multiplication doesn't even need to be defined.
Vector spaces have addition between vectors and multiplication by a scalar, and about 8 properties.
I have never got to see Maxwell's Equations because I've never gotten to Physics III (which deals mostly with electromagnetism). I'm currently doing Physics I because I couldn't find it in the morning the previous semester.

Oh, you mean that every field has the properties of vector spaces included along with their own. Okay, that is right. Edited on 06/04/2023 15:01.

>>21
That's what "generally" means.

>>22
To have a vector space you must have a scalar field along with it, it can be either the reals or the complexes.
Field means a commutative ring with unity for which it's true that all of its non null elements are invertible.
For example, the reals (R) are a field, the complexes (C) are a field. R^3 is not a field.

Let write some equations for a start!

\(\int\tan^{-1}dx=x\tan^{-1}x-\frac{1}{2}\ln\left(1+x^2\right) +c\)

>for which it's true that all of its non null elements are invertible.
Invertible with respect to which operation? You are probably talking about the multiplicative inverse, but then you would have to talk about the definition of a product on the R^3 for your claim to make sense.

>>27
Yes, the multiplicative inverse.
R^3 is not a field.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_(mathematics)

>>28
If I understand it correctly, (R^3, +, x) with the cross product x would not be a field, but with the clifford product instead of the cross product it would. Do you agree?

>>29
With the cross product it would indeed not be a field, since it wouldn't be commutative. I don't know enough about the clifford product to emit an opinion.

Now I'm beginning the fifth semester. Disciplines are:
- Algebra II
- Physics II
- Real Analysis
- Financial Mathematics

Disciplines this semester are:
- Algebraic Structures
- Complex Variable
- Numerical Methods

It's over. The first academic semester of 2025 is finally over. Have a good academic recess, everyone!

2=2=5
And I can prove this.

And I can prove this.

do it faggot

Yes, 2 + 2 does equal five. Below is proof.

Usually, since we have been schooled that when summing two numbers we are to start at the origin, which is also called by the number zero, we see the first number two as +2. This means that we are to move in a positive direction from that origin of zero. The result is two. Then, we are to continue the process by adding another, or the second, two. The result will be four or +4. But what if the origin is not zero but it is the first mumber that comes to any pre-schooler, one or 1. Now, summing the first two not with the origin of zero but with the origin of one brings a result of three and, going further, when the second number two is added into the equation we sum it with three to arrive at the conclusion of five.
Thus 2 + 2 = 5.
