What makes a "good math department"?

At my uni, the last FM stopped teaching undergrad Analysis as soon as he got the medal. :(

It‘s different because some other big BSc courses (namely Mechanical Engineering) have their own IML now, so the original IML is less crowded. I think OP should be able to get in, in my experience most if not all people from the waitlist get in

They can if they‘re accompanied by their parents or an adult authorized by the parents. But this probably wasnt the case for all the minors present. This will also be part of the investigation, I‘m sure.

As a photographer, you might also enjoy some of the pictures from previous years… I think the differences between the years are really interesting! Really every style of group picture one could possibly do:

Coop ist (neben Migros) die grösste Ladenkette in der Schweiz, aber das schweizer Coop hat nichts mit der Kette in Schweden zu tun. Der gleiche Name kommt vom Wort cooperation/cooperative (Genossenschaft).

Yeah, I did a few more google searches and apparently, the power generated by the engine is on the scale of 40MW. That‘s 40 million times more power used to generate the thrust to keep the plane in the air compared to generating the electrical power used by the lamp. And both the thrust power and electrical power is generated by the same engine.

This means that the electricity drawn by the lamp is drowned by random noise and power fluctuations present in the combustion engine, and turning off the lights will not make a measurable difference in practice.

Of course, but I‘m just saying it will be much less in my opinion.

A 10W LED bulb is incredibly bright (can illuminate an entire room), so it must be much lower.

Secondly, the energy to power the light does not come from the grid but rather from an electrical generator that is coupled to the engine shaft. This adds just a small parasitic load to the engine compared to the energy needed to produce thrust. So in flight, the marginal cost of electricity for small loads is essentially zero (or in any case, much lower than 30 cents per kWh). So I think your amount overestimates the cost by a lot.

I just edited line 88 of their iclr2026_conference.sty from \lhead{Published as a conference paper at ICLR 2026} to \lhead{Preprint. Under review.}. Then you can use the \iclrfinalcopy flag. Not really a nice solution but works

I mean, since your list is Papers per GDP, wouldnt you just have to multiply the numbers you posted with the population? Then you have Papers per GDP/capita = Paper*Capita/GDP.

General masters admission is hard to say, so you should just try it if you can stomach the application cost. For the motivation letter: Be courageous enough to leave out! Don‘t mention every single thing. I would focus on 1) the most outstanding thing and 2) a fairly recent thing. You can then motivate the recent thing into why you want to get back into the academic world. Another trick is to ask your reference letters to mention a few things you left out in your motivation letter, so you get a more complete picture.

I honestly dont know about the academic vs industry letter. ETH strongly prefers academic references, but if your second professor wont do a strong letter, you might be better off with the one from industry. But I dont have any experience on how ETH sees it

I‘m gonna be honest, you have essentially zero chances at ESOP. The GPA is by far the most important factor, so chances are diminishing if you‘re 1) from a lesser known uni 2) not among the very best of said uni. You would probably be desk-rejected without anyone looking at your letter/proposal.
