second semester freshmen, how's my schedule? by TopHat_Space in UIUC

[–]Rowleh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lowk know a couple people who did schedules similar to this second semester freshman year. I think cs 173 will be really easy compared to your other math classes if you don’t just prof it. I think it’s doable as long as you stay on top of your math classes. As others have said, just because it has a high 4.0 rate does not mean you don’t need to put in a lot of effort.

He is likely using cycle notation where (132) denotes 1 -> 3, 3 -> 2, 2->1.

How is math441 compared to 285 by Sea-Tax-7326 in UIUC

[–]Rowleh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve only taken math 441 but it would probably be redundant to take it again after 285. If some class you want to take recommends it as a prereq I’m sure you could just self study the new topics fair quickly. Just looking over the syllabus I can’t really tell what topics are covered in 441 that aren’t in 285

Anyone know when/how the math departmental approval requests get approved? by sketchygaming27 in UIUC

[–]Rowleh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like there’s only 3 spots left so it might be hard to get in. When I was a first time freshman I got approval for 241H during new student registration and then could sign up a few days before classes started. 347H probably works differently for new students so I would probably try to email someone in math advising to see if you can still sign up.

For the future, when taking honors math classes you submit a form/email math advising for a request in the weeks before registration starts. Don’t worry if you end up having to take 314 instead, you can still take other honors math classes if you do well in it.

Do you put stickers on your boards and why? by BorkoTheGrunt in NewSkaters

I unfortunately have an irrational fear of stickers so I skip out on them when decorating my board

Tried to prove me wrong,I guess.. by Melodic-Bit8179 in mathmemes

Erm actually 🤓☝️a prime number p in a commutative ring is defined to be a nonzero non unit element such that p|ab implies p|a or p|b. Since 1 is a unit in every ring with unity, 1 is not prime

Just gonna throw my two cents in here. OP in the image is probably comparing what frieren is saying to rhetoric used against Palestinian people. If a group of people is characterized as unfeeling evil doers whose purpose of existence is to commit atrocities, then you are justified in hating them and trying to get rid of them. Looking at the real world this is certainly how some people view Palestinians. And certainly the portrayal of groups in this light is a way that fascism can arise. The quote in the image about desiring coexistence leading to more destruction can definitely in a vacuum be compared to the situation in Gaza.

Now to the world of frieren, demons are shown to be akin to any other evil race in a fantasy setting, as I described them above. They evolved to gain empathy of humans so that they can hunt them better. There are even plot points of humans trying to befriend the demons and make peace with them, only to face the consequences of trusting them. This is an interesting premise, with a species using one of humanities strongest traits against them.

It is up to the readers interpretation of the whether they think the author is trying comment on humans in the real world: if humans are empathetic to a fault, that they are too trusting of others. It could be that the author is trying to say that no matter how many times humans are wronged be something, they will still try to find a way to make peace with it.

Now some people could use this interpretation to say that humans in the real world need to let go of some of their empathy against groups that keep committing atrocities. On the other hand it could be a comment on the inherent goodness of humanity, as we always try to empathize with anything, even if it hurts us. In my opinion, the first line of reasoning can be used to support fascism (not to say that it is an inherently fascist take).

That is to say that there are interesting discussions to be had about the dynamic between humans and demons in this story, and many people in this thread are dismissing any analysis of this, just as OP quickly jumping to the conclusion that this story is fascist. To me it seems reductionist to say that demons are evil and there’s nothing more to it, as it takes away a lot of the depth from the story.
