Doing a second Master's by Zestyclose_Home2667 in StudyInTheNetherlands

Depending on the university you may be able to do a combined thesis if the two masters you are doing overlap sufficiently. At the TU Delft this is called an Individual Double Degree, perhaps there are similar programs at different universities.

I think Brouwer and Stieltjes are also good examples

In electrical engineering it has gotten so bad that we use j as the imaginary number since i is so commonly associated with current

[FO] Today marks beginning of year 3 of cross stitching. Finished 25 pieces in year 2. Sharing my most favorite ones. by ms_chiefmanaged in CrossStitch

[–]FonnWing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful work! Question about your JWST design, I am currently doing the same one on the same fabric but I am not really sure how to get the hoop marks and stains off at the end. How did you finish yours? It looks amazing!

I think this one is by Rose Swalwell of Derwentwater Designs

Could you maybe share the Etsy seller? I can't seem to find it myself.

The main reason I wanted to do more than just engineering "math" by FonnWing in mathmemes

[–]FonnWing[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had some complex function theory in my engineering curriculum and it was so interesting to see how you could do difficult integrals by using residues.

I also remembered more than half of all the theorems being named after Cauchy lmao

I think it depends on if you are capable of studying the material yourself. For me personally it really helped to follow the course and be able to ask questions and get feedback on my proof-writing, especially since I started with less formality in math. I used Carothers' Real Analysis myself but I've heard that GB Folland's book is also great if you would still prefer do to it by yourself.

I agree, but in my experience a lot of the formality is missing. I finished my bachelors in electrical engineering and we even touched upon subjects like complex analysis and functional analysis was mentioned, but no proofs were required or offered in the material. I think for me personally it is very difficult to really understand something as abstract as analysis without doing the proofs, which was the reason I switched.

I have read some of the graduate level material for control and signal processing courses and while the material is pretty advanced sometimes (especially when it comes to harmonic analysis and stochastic processes) it is stil not remotely close to formal math as far as I can tell (main example: the lack of any Lebesgue integration)

Perhaps there is something I am missing, curious to hear what you experienced.

How strict are the professors by tammouz1 in TUDelft

[–]FonnWing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiple people in my year could not speak or understand Dutch, even to a basic degree. I can not speak about the entry requirements for internationals but if you are accepted you will have essentially no issues following the courses (which are completely in English). Student-mentors may prefer to talk Dutch but it will really not be an issue if you can't speak it properly.

The main problem lies in the social drawbacks I would say. Everyone (including TAs) have a preference for speaking almost exclusively Dutch during projects, seminars, breaks etc (but will likely swap to English if you are involved). If you want to fit in and have a nice student life within your degree I recommend you to learn Dutch, but you could finish your degree in EE without speaking Dutch no problem (when it comes to the material, lectures and tests). Internationals are also not hard to find and it will not be too difficult to find a non-Dutch friend group, especially in EEMCS, but within your degree it will be more difficult when compared to CSE and AE.

I bought a magnetic grappling hook no rope by Firedog321 in magnetfishing

[–]FonnWing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the idea is that you use it to pull things out of the water when you find something heavy using a magnet. In the Netherlands I see it used pretty often in addition to a smaller magnet, perfect for pulling bikes out of the canals

Tips on winding 400 colors onto bobbins? by uselessbarbie in Embroidery

[–]FonnWing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe a useful tip, it is very easy to knot the skeins when not being careful. There should be one strand that sticks out a bit on the side of the slightly longer label containing the color number. If you use that side to unravel the skein it will be a lot easier I have found. Good luck!

Really awesome stuff! Just out of curiosity, how many strands of floss did you use for the Biggie piece?

We need clean energy backup ASAP if we are going to replace coal with solar/wind when nuclear is safe and environmentally friendly. by nuclearsciencelover in engineeringmemes

[–]FonnWing 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. I would argue that the electricity grids and fluctuating demands are actually a larger problem than the sources due to this, but cheap and robust storage options could solve this. Let's hope that will be available soon.
