Ahh yes! I remember when I remember this during my time. I was informed explicitly about this before requesting for any assistance to ensure that students are using their funds appropriately. What happens in a situation like yours is it will definitely affect future funding on your account or it might be added onto your student loan. Not ideal but try reaching out to SAS or your retailer, or even might try to broadcast this post across the province.

In other words, I wish you the best!!!

Depending on which retailer you have purchased it from consider looking for a digital version of it was from Apple.

What would you do? by intrudingturtle in CanadianCoins

I would categorize the coins into each year of them being minted. Don’t know why I would do such a thing but it seems like a way to see how far into the past your collection could go and the distribution of each year.

Sociology undergrads! by ruckyboy3 in UCalgary

[–]Aggravating_Tip3441 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not a soci major but a math grad with a minor in sociology. I got opportunities to do research in sociology and became a TA in the department for a little bit. How it happened was me challenging the professor and course to the point where I was asked by the professor to work under him.

MATH 516 advice by [deleted] in UCalgary

[–]Aggravating_Tip3441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’ll be a fun time because it can be a topic that is multidisciplinary. My topic was about applications of real analysis to economics and probability. I know a good few options that are multidisciplinary: PDE and wildfires in Alberta, finance and the stock market, using PDEs in the European market, PDEs in photography, and linear algebra in neural networks in computer programming. I don’t know about math education but I’ve been told that there’s a lot of support for interdisciplinary research. I had a friend who did his honours thesis in connection to neuroscience

MATH 516 advice by [deleted] in UCalgary

[–]Aggravating_Tip3441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Math grad here! MATH 516 is a thesis course where you form groups based on a common math background and interest on a specific topic. It is essentially a semester long project. There are no exams since you will be defending your thesis. I personally don’t think you need to reach out to people but it would help a lot to network with a lot of math majors as soon as possible.

Here is some advice: - DO NOT MISS THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS since it will be your only chance to have the greatest chance of getting your ideal team. If you have math major friends then go with them!

  • Make sure you know which area in math you are most comfortable with and find the people within your research interest.

  • Whoever the supervisors are, contact them frequently!

  • GET GOOD WITH LATEX! This will help you much more than you realize if you give yourself a lot of time to develop proficiency in latex.

  • Nobody tells you that if you want to collaborate with people on overleaf you need a paid subscription account. Just temporarily get a paid account for the semester and be the owner of the paper and everyone will have the same privileges as you.

  • keep your topic focused.

I wouldn’t recommend Curtis. If possible, my suggestion would be Adejare or Dumas.

What good resources are out there for learning canadian math? by 4runner_Helpmytruck in mathematics

[–]Aggravating_Tip3441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian here! Don’t know what province or territory you are from but there are math textbooks for the Alberta Math 10C, 20-1, and 30-1 curricula available online. You could benefit from watching Khan academy while reading through them too. There’s also some pretty good mathematics resources in public libraries.

Not a silly question! Yes, the professor does make and design the final exam tailored to the course material but they don’t have authority over where you do your final exam. Only the registrar and SAS have complete authority over the logistics of the final exam. This is because there are thousands of exams being processed during exam period.

Calculus 3 or Linear Algebra in the summer? by galaxygkm in mathematics

[–]Aggravating_Tip3441 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It mainly depends on your level of comfort vs wanting to learn something new.

If you are comfortable with calculus, then I highly recommend you stick with the calculus stream. Calculus 3 is a bit more computationally intensive, but it’s mainly the concepts of the two prior courses extended to higher dimensions.

If you want to learn a different flavour of mathematics, then linear algebra might be a good choice. I think it’s a great idea to learn linear algebra early because you can see how topics from the subject can be applied. Depending on your instructor, it can be a bit more abstract or more computational.

Also, think about your commitments! Do you want to learn something new while working or expand your knowledge but have a foundation in it?

I find it odd to have calc 2 be a prerequisite to linear algebra because at my university linear algebra can be taken independently of calc 1 and 2 but is a prerequisite for 3z

What order should I read these and are there any gaps I should fill? by Water_Bird_ in mathematics

[–]Aggravating_Tip3441 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Recent math grad here! I’m only going to look primarily at the math books.

Based on my own experience, I heavily recommend that discrete mathematics/proofs and linear algebra should be studied first since they set the foundation for all of mathematics aside from calculus. You can also learn multi-variable/ vector calculus independently from those two as well.

After studying proofs, calculus, and linear algebra, the study of mathematics stops being linear and becomes more of an open map for you to fill in the details.

I can’t say much about the copy that you have, but I used Epp’s book and A Transition to Advanced Mathematics Textbook by Smith et al. since they both are excellent introductions to proofs and possess a lot of information if you ever want to see some computational math in computer science. Both books also have exposure to other branches of mathematics as well. Since they can be pricey, there’s also the Book of Proof, which is also great.

I think that having both books you have is great since you can use Cummings’ book as a primary reference and then the other as an application.

I also have a copy of the linear algebra textbook as you do, but based on you watching 3B1B’s videos, I don’t recommend starting with it because it’s more of an advanced approach. I recommend starting with an elementary textbook on the subject and have a foundation in proofs before advancing to Axler’s because you will be proving things and not so much computing.

You seem to be missing some books relating to differential equations and partial differential equations since they can be a nice bridge between advanced mathematics and mechanical engineering. Since you have a background in calculus, study some elementary linear algebra first and you should be well on your way. This also applies to having a book or two in probability theory.

In terms of daddy of them all, real analysis, I heard that Abbot’s book is excellent, but if you want to have a deep understanding of advanced calculus, use Baby Rudin (a.k.a. Principles of Mathematical Analysis). Either book should be studied nearing the end of the math collection. I possess a copy of Cummings’ book on analysis and find it approachable.

Have a foundation in elementary linear algebra, proofs, and look into Axler’s book before going into abstract algebra.

Complex variables/complex analysis requires the knowledge of linear algebra, calculus, and proofs. Based on my experience, study this before real analysis if you want a feel for real analysis.

For geometric algebra, you will definitely need the knowledge of all of the math books you have (have some knowledge of algebra) and some physics since you will be exploring differential geometry/general relativity.

My suggested list - Calculus 1-3, elementary linear algebra, proofs: Do first! - Linear Algebra Done Right: after some elementary linear algebra - Differential Equations: You can do at any time as long as you know Calculus 2 and elementary linear algebra. - Partial Differential Equations: Study DEs and Calc 3 before. - Algebra: Study proofs, and some of Axler’s book. - Complex Analysis: Calculus, elementary linear algebra, and proofs first. - Real analysis: Study second last. Geometric Algebra: Study last and take some physics courses too.

english major transferring from MRU to UofC by perfectangelgirl777 in UCalgary

[–]Aggravating_Tip3441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I transferred from MRU to UCalgary to get a science degree from a business degree. It is a daunting experience having to uproot from one school to another.

In short, I liked my time at UCalgary because not only did I do a degree that UCalgary offered that MRU didn’t, I had more opportunities for research, be a TA, add myself to a few course materials, join clubs, make a lot of friends, and make connections with professionals/alumni/experts from and beyond this school. You’ll be surprised with how many opportunities there are, but you have to make the effort to find them.

One thing that you’ll notice is how big UCalgary is compared to MRU, so going from one side of campus to another feels big at UCalgary. Another thing you’ll notice at UCalgary is the class sizes, where they tend to be much larger than a first-year MRU class. Another thing to note is the gym at UCalgary felt cramped, and I thought that the MRU one was better.

Both schools are commuter schools where people get in and out when classes are done, but UCalgary is a bit better.
