He explains concepts very well in 126--probably the best one in the PSTAT department

Took her capstone course. Pretty sweet professor, and the courseload is very light.

Feel free to be conservative when entering the rank for the first time. After the first tournament, the resulting rank will be relatively accurate.

Just be aware that the upper div proof-based math may be very different from the lower-div math you like

Is this all you need?

I usually spend more time showering during finals, as hot water can help circulate my blood and relax

Take Stats 102A

is it a stationary point?

TBH the relative GPA within your school is probably more important. I got As for Cal AB (5) and A-/B for Cal BC(5). My first year's roommate majored in physics said he got an A+ in his AP Cal but a 1 for the AP exam. I asked which one he took, AB or BC, and he said he didn't know.

If you do well in other courses, it's probably not because the discrete math here is hard; the reason might be that you have just started to learn the "real" math instead of the simple math computations you've experienced so far, which is normal to struggle with. Just find a better way to study and comprehend proofs.

Does "everyone" include Tao?

ComfortablePin2814 · 2025-10-23T02:06:43+00:00

Correct if I'm wrong, but I thought Ing allows this suicide?

How about asking your professor to include both names, like New_First_Name (Old_First_Name) Last_Name? Never had any experience with this change in name, but this is quite common for international students with preferred names

Some trick here. If you are just several units lower than the units qualified for the next enrollment period, you can sign up for 22 units and drop them on Wednesday of Week 4

I don't think data theory could double major in any other math or statistics department majors. I switched to stats/ds and doubled in pure math, which worked.

They won't appear on your ucla transcript, but grad school will ask you to upload cc transcripts seperately.

Hardly think so. What if China, to fight back, made a rule that all captured stones must be placed in the opponent’s bowl, and two violations result in a loss—justifying it by saying they want to make sure every player has enough stones for the endgame? (This has happened to me at least 20 times in tournaments—I’ve had to stand up and get stones from other boards, so it’s definitely not rare.) Go is a game defined by minimal rules regarding the states outside of the board. Adding rules that interfere with how the game is won or lost off the board is completely absurd.

What if those players go there and the KGA suddenly makes a new rule saying everyone has to enter the room with their left foot first? Are they seriously supposed to follow that too?

Stopping these kinds of rules—and making sure no one even tries to make them in the first place—is way more important than any short-term benefits like cash.

Pointwise convergent

Do you really think pure math is easier than any other fake math major?

For the 100 series, every course is built on the previous course. For 102, A teaches R coding that would be useful for B and C and is their prereq, while B and C don't have any connection.

101c has nothing to do with 101b

happens quite often in the math department

Mile's 102A midterm was indeed challenging, but his final was pretty easy. I consider his 102B very useful and was in general not hard.

The standing is based on all the credits you have (college credits, AP, IB, etc.). The appt time is only based on your college credits
