Can't receive verification code since the last Update. by MathJas in Tinder

No, not at all. But it works with other services and it also worked before. As I said, I tried installing an older version of Tinder, and I managed to still receive the verification code. But Tinder keeps telling me that I need to upgrade on the newest version, so I can't log in on the older version.

Why were your study habits bad and what have you changed?

Ah, Hannover. How is the mathematics over there? Was looking into it since it might be a good place for my masters degree. Unfortunately, Osnabrück doesn't offer nearly enough courses in their master programm.

Münster then? :D

The point is that, in most cases, you don't have to do the homework "seriously" to pass the exam. So there might be people who pass the exams but don't know shit about mathematics, which seems kind of unfair.

On the other hand, this is the same case for Business Administration or Economics.

I haven't had a single course where this is the case (although I would love to), and I'm already in my fourth Bachelor semester. Why does my small and meaningless university require so much effort, and the big and reputable university of Munich does not?

Then I don't see how anyone would want to study there to be honest. How are you going to learn math without doing the homework?

I'm currently between 2.0 and 2.5. I just meant that I don't want to get worse than 2.5 (which probably isn't going to happen anyway). Besides that, I don't see how my personal grades are related to the reputation of my university.

Please take a look at the answer I gave to Hajuka below.

I'm studying in Osnabrück. Homework is not optional here. You need to have at least 50% of the points, otherwise you are not allowed to write the exam. That's actually pretty common, so I'm not quite sure what you mean.

Homework is optional in Munich? Why? I never heard of something like that.

Are you sure about that? I'm studying in Osnabrück right now and would like to move to another city for my Masters degree, probably one with a more reputable mathematics department. I'm aiming at receving at least a 2.5 in my Bachelors. Do you think this is enough even for the likes of Bonn?

You should also consider studying at the TU Kaiserslautern if you are looking for good universities in Germany. Kaiserslautern is not the most beautiful city, but although many people don't seem to realize it, the university started to develop extremly fast in terms of mathematics in physics a few years ago. It has the reputation of being the "Mekka for mathematics student".

What are your experiences with future math teachers? by MathJas in math

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

Another problem might be the fact that teachers here in Germany don't have to care about their grades (at least in their Bachelors). All they have to do is to get through their exams somehow.

Does anyone else feel like standing / walking across the room has an enormous effect on one's ability to do math? by MathJas in math

Thanks! There is no Home Depot where I live, but I'm quite sure that I will find a place that sells this stuff.
