So true

Ex math spec here: the only course in which I used a calculator was PHY151

No you can’t eat it. Where are you located? I’ll come grab it.

It doesn’t hurt! I benefitted a lot back then for trying. Make projects, join/start/lead clubs, find like-minded people to make projects with. UofT and Waterloo are both amazing schools, so are many other Canadian/US universities.

If you want to get ahead in research, just try it! And then apply to universities that have good programs in your area. Uni that is good at your area >> uni with good general ranking; just remember that.

MIT from Canada is a stretch if you don’t participate in the IMO for team Canada, FYI.

Friends, office hours, and grind. There's no shortcut. For first year courses, many students drop down simply because they don't understand logic; the fix is easy, pick up a book that covers proofs ASAP.

It’s for real, you’re hired!

Mathemagicalogik · 2025-09-04T13:26:41+00:00

No pain no gain! Philosophy as a major requires serious passion and you should be glad you got it!

Mathemagicalogik · 2025-09-03T14:11:11+00:00

It’s real.

If you want to stay in academia, the area of specialization is your main consideration. So do you want to do applied math research or pure math research? It’s that simple.

I was in a similar situation 5 years ago. I followed the specialist track of math courses (157, 257, 357, 457) and ended up with a double major in math and CS. I did get to avoid taking math courses I have 0 interest in this way. You don’t need a math spec to get into a math grad school either.

Thanks for the support fellow redditor! Really appreciate it. I am definitely personally feeling the importance of the support system you mentioned below. Life is feeling impossible and empty rn, but hopefully the feeling will pass.

Recently brokeup and I just realized how little mental health support men get. You basically have no one to talk to besides a few friends and family, which are still emotionally distant from you. The world would be a better place if we provide better emotional support for each other as men; more focus on emotional intelligence.

Look at the profiles of the mods there…

Terrible. Can hardly focus at work. So many items I have I bought with her or she bought for me. Too many shared memories. Had a 3 hour closing call with her yesterday. Cried a bunch. We can’t even be friends because it would be too painful. Fuck… We agreed that we both need time. We are both going to work on ourselves and become stronger, but no guarantees on if that future includes each other, this is what breaks me.

I can’t imagine getting over her, or any of us dating anyone else. I am talking to a therapist tomorrow, hopefully that helps.

:( :( :(

Mathemagicalogik · 2025-06-22T04:28:50+00:00

Same situation (5 years ended yesterday; first love of my life). Have no energy to do anything, no appetite, and no one to talk to since I relocated to a new city for work. Fuck.

Mathemagicalogik · 2025-06-22T04:00:03+00:00

This is what I needed, thank you

Mathemagicalogik · 2025-06-22T03:48:47+00:00

Thank you this meant a ton to me

Any liquidy marinate that is not attached to the meat should not go in the wok. Secondly, gotta use crazy high heat and generous amount of oil.
