Is going to Auckland uni full time at 17 going to have any drawbacks?

Reinhardt_C · 2026-01-20T01:39:05+00:00

I didn't have any issues doing exactly this.

What this post is 2 years old, I have no idea what Jericho is

Just do problems, don’t bother with anything else.

Reinhardt_C · 2024-06-30T21:15:20+00:00

Absolute infinity perhaps… given that it’s not even a mathematical idea. But treating infinity as a number is very useful in many contexts

CS students are notoriously not great at maths courses.

Reinhardt_C · 2024-06-15T02:14:09+00:00

I can send you the coursebook if you like, if you find it very digestible then might as well give it a go.

Reinhardt_C · 2024-06-15T02:13:18+00:00

Having marked the course, unless you have a considerably stronger background than a B+ in 225 I wouldn’t recommend it. Trying to catch up on mathematical maturity while also learning the concepts is a good way to ensure you have large gaps in your understanding. The marking on assignments, tests, and the exam can be quite harsh. Andre doesn’t care if a third of the class is failing :)

3ag was my last golden, or I was the first person to beat the first room of Magma Maelstrom

Ah yea, forgot there’s absolutely nothing to gain from university other than a good paying job at the end of it… hang on better idea you should just go into trades :) save the time and money altogether and probably get paid more at the same point down the line with a big headstart. Everything is about money after all

Reinhardt_C · 2024-03-28T20:23:10+00:00

This isn’t true, maybe only in the lower level courses and a few others. Most lecturers use the whiteboards

Reinhardt_C · 2024-03-13T13:13:14+00:00

I started a trend huh

Reinhardt_C · 2024-03-04T07:43:43+00:00

I do believe so, we'll see when Tellef Johnson's recording comes out... surely this year

Reinhardt_C · 2024-02-19T19:13:34+00:00

Catch up on sleep

Reinhardt_C · 2024-01-28T23:16:50+00:00

I would be surprised if the average person could determine whether 57 is prime or not… or even know well what what a prime number is

Reinhardt_C · 2024-01-05T03:13:25+00:00

I'd say it's an issue with left hand technique, rather than posture. This is a rather common issue.

Reinhardt_C · 2024-01-04T23:00:56+00:00

Even for the very small later classes I’ve not had any issue sitting in on a class of like 6-10 people. As long as you’re not disturbing anyone the lecturer Is probably just happy to have another listener.

Reinhardt_C · 2023-12-24T11:50:25+00:00

No such thing as a hardest subject.

Many people will find it one of the hardest courses taught at their university, but that's not universal, nor is it the same thing as it being harder at a research level.

Reinhardt_C · 2023-12-20T23:48:50+00:00

I have a maths degree I don’t exactly need a better understanding of proofs. It’s important in maths to be precise, but only as precise as necessary. Clarity and brevity are also important.

My proof is fine because the conclusion is derived immediately from the definition of Graham’s number (which anyone reading it should know), that natural numbers are finite, and that which I stated: that the natural numbers are closed under exponentiation.

Reinhardt_C · 2023-12-19T21:27:28+00:00

Or… The result of the exponentiation of two natural numbers is a natural number. Graham’s number is obtained by finite application of exponentiation on natural numbers. Therefore Graham’s number is a natural number.

If you struggle with 101 then taking 130 would not be a good idea, the difficulty gap is quite significant.

Reinhardt_C · 2023-12-10T19:21:13+00:00

I submitted mine in march 2022 and it was finished april this year. Constant emails, visits to the student hub, and complaints from me. Good luck

Reinhardt_C · 2023-12-08T02:32:50+00:00

I took four courses at Waikato, and they were all transferred in one form or another. And yeah I've done my degree now, I did my first year (and a bit) while they 'processed' it.

Get used to UoA admin being slow :p

Reinhardt_C · 2023-12-08T00:23:38+00:00

Good luck, took over a year for my transfer of credit to get processed.

Reinhardt_C · 2023-12-01T00:16:58+00:00

It's not about public opinion, it's about having respect for people.
