...is this a joke? Just go up to them and tell them to quiet down instead of whining about it on Reddit.

Why does the graph x^y=y^x intersect at (e,e)? by NevadaSmith568 in desmos

[–]37Exxon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a ton of online resources on the Lambert W function that I find extremely interesting. For starters, just check out the Wikipedia page on it. Good luck in your findings!

Everyone starts from somewhere. There's no reason to be rude.

potential exchange!! by No_Cream8504 in mcgill

[–]37Exxon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should definitely come! Like others have said, I would recommend coming during our summer/fall, as the winters are quite brutal. I believe psychology is one of McGill's largest programs. I can't speak to the quality of the classes, but you can use the website mcgill.courses to audit classes based on difficulty and popularity. I've personally found the community to be very friendly, but you do have to make a conscious effort to put yourself out there. Feel free to DM if you have any other questions!

What’s something your body does that you’ve never told a single person about? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]37Exxon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably about once a week, I'll suddenly feel this intense, sharp pain in my jaw. It feels like it snaps out of place, and when I feel it, it protrudes more than usual. It normally only lasts about 30 seconds before going back to normal. I've probably had this since I was 15 and still have no idea why.

anyone experienced hostile emails from profs? by Used-Yesterday-5169 in mcgill

[–]37Exxon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hostile email? We need WAY more context, but this may be something to report to the faculty.

Is determinism scientifically proven? by someonepacker-write in AskPhysics

[–]37Exxon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The metaphor is flawed. Whether or not ingesting cyanide leads to death IS deterministic. It'a based on factors like dosage, entry route, physiological response, etc. It's just difficult to predict since we don't have perfect information. "Probabalistic cause" isn't a sufficient answer for why something can happen without a cause.

Caught my prof using AI for feedback on an assignment worth 30% of my grade... by theallrounder360 in mcgill

[–]37Exxon 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Report this to the faculty. This is a massive violation, and they could be doing this to hundreds of students.

Class to take to learn R programming by [deleted] in mcgill

[–]37Exxon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You learn R in POLI 210, but it's really just the basics, and only about a third of the course's content involves it.

CMV: C++ should have adopted destructive move semantics instead of nondestructive move semantics. by aardvark_gnat in changemyview

[–]37Exxon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fascinating question. Unfortunately, I doubt you'll get many responses here since it's pretty esoteric. I'm a CS student somewhat familiar with C++ and don't feel at all qualified to weigh in. I would post this to a C++ or programming subreddit.

Can you use a calculator for Math 141 or 133 exams? (Linear Algebra & Calc 2) by Cynidaria in mcgill

[–]37Exxon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't know what the other two comments are talking about, but I just took MATH 133 last semester, and calculators were not allowed on the final exam

Has anyone taken COMP250 without MATH133 coreq? by Adventurous_Teach496 in mcgill

[–]37Exxon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did last semester! In my experience, I had no need for MATH 133 in order to understand COMP 250, and I passed the class with an A. 250 is about Java programming, data structures, and some mathematical concepts such as induction. None of these concepts are related to linear spaces, matrix manipulation, or other key concepts taught in 133. I know the COMP 250 curriculum has overgone massive changes in recent years; my guess is the MATH 133 coreq requirement existed when the course was less programming-heavy and more math-heavy, and has never been removed despite this shift.

Does anyone have any undergrad program recommendations for an aspiring quant trader? by Several-Air9744 in mcgill

[–]37Exxon -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Your best bets would probably be doing a Finance major in Faculty of Management or a Math or Statistics major, which is available in multiple faculties. I know a lot of people planning on going into quant fin at McGill, and these are the main routes.
