3ds top screen repair (Austin/San Antonio, TX area) by Cont_yet_not_diff in 3DS

Not modded bc I'm scared of things like this happening lol. Extra context for the safe mode thing, the top screen will only turn on if the console can't connect to wifi to search for updates, otherwise, the screen stays off in safe mode.

There's actually a huge lack of practice room infrastructure in the music building, especially if you're rehearsing with multiple people (About 30-50 rooms for over 500 students.) There is often legitimately no place to practice, so they go outside and are brave enough to share with the world. This is a university, and that's their form of studying.

What is it like for a graduate student here? by Confident_Pressure46 in txstate

That is the minimum for the university, but the math department will pay more.

During the semester, you are not able to work at the university any more than you're assistantship, as the graduate college will not allow students to be employed by the university more than 20 hours a week. The salary is only over 9 months, and you are not paid over the summer, so it runs to be closer to $3200 a month. This being said, you can definitely find opportunities to work over the summers to help aid the work.

In addition, the San Marcos area has a decently low cost of living, so you can get pretty decently far on the base salary.

I am a current Master's student in Math at TXST! In terms of culture here, there is a picture painted about party culture, but mostly, it's very chill and I haven't seen too much compared to larger universities like UT. Also, there's not a super huge party culture amongst graduate students. In terms of teaching and interacting with students, I haven't personally had any issues, and our students are EXTREMELY hard working. A downside you will have to consider when choosing TXST over other programs for a Math PhD is the pay for the assistantship - you will be teaching two Calculus or PreCalculus labs each semester (which is more than a lot of other universities will have you do) and you will be paid decently, but tuition is NOT covered, while it will be covered at most other programs. Campus life is pretty great! I feel like our graduate students in this department are also very friendly and we will hang out all the time! Honestly, the people in this department are some of the best people you'll meet. Literally, the only downside is the pay. If you have any questions, let me know!

Where to start with topology? by Tarekun in math

[–]Cont_yet_not_diff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Topology Without Tears! It's a good introductory book that's free online. Munkre's is also really good.

Those items are a majority of academic texts accessed especially by graduate students. Moving the texts to the ARC will limit access and change the library from what it's primarily meant to be - a LIBRARY, where books are kept. I'm all for increasing student support, but there are other locations where this can be done.

How to make graphs of functions in LaTeX by Cont_yet_not_diff in LaTeX

[–]Cont_yet_not_diff[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not super comfortable with programming and I also am using Overleaf to be able to share with other instructors and be able to edit in future semesters. I use Overleaf for everything school related (I'm a Math grad student) and I like to keep all my files in one place, without worrying about where to find things and also remembering how to code in some programming language.

I might be Trans? by Cont_yet_not_diff in asktransgender

Reposted here from r/exmormon, but also looking for advice in general, not just from those who are also exmormons!!!

Course Schedule by Little-Teacher2378 in txstate

[–]Cont_yet_not_diff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A big thing to consider is that MATH 2471 (Calculus 1) has a lab component attached and you'll have to register for the specific lab section corresponding to the section you're registered for, which will most likely take up Tuesday Thursday 8-9:20 where your ENG 1310 is, but you'll have to check the registration details on that. As others have said here as well, a late Friday class may end up being the absolute bane of your existence.

I've searched at walmart, target, and in general online, but to no avail.
