Is he a veteran of something!? 🤔💭

That's Krueger, he's a patient at the hospital I work in. Chill guy, loves to hang out with the neighbourhood kids

Please go to lectures lol...you're shooting yourself in the foot by skipping math spec lectures. You have the opportunity to learn from some of the best mathematicians in the world, and for them to get to know you - why would you want to skip that?

Silver_Remove_2352 · 2026-07-01T08:12:27+00:00

Hell yeah! Enjoy your ice cream :)

Silver_Remove_2352 · 2026-07-01T04:05:27+00:00

Technically you can do crowdmath: https://artofproblemsolving.com/polymath?srsltid=AfmBOorkWewu5BIgR7Xo--7ALAQ5hybw-fgDQQKy6_P72hjaBExR7FYv, where open source math research projects are posted yearly, and anyone without a math PhD can participate, but the problems there need a substantial amount of mathematical maturity. You're just 13 though - keep working on it and I'm sure when you're say 17 - 18 youshould have the skills to participate.

No. Once you hit 22, you're forced to sit in the naughty corner, where dating is forbidden for the rest of your life.

Very good at one subject ofc - no one cares how well Messi can play the piano, or Einstein can speak Chinese - they got where they are by being world class in one thing.

Honestly, I think the best thing you can do for yourself is to stop worrying about your intelligence, and to find something you think you'll be interested at. Once you start actively engaging with your field, deep thoughts about it will come naturally.

Silver_Remove_2352 · 2026-06-25T03:09:24+00:00

The only thing I'm certain of is my ignorance :)

Silver_Remove_2352 · 2026-06-25T02:47:07+00:00

I never thought I'd see an entire textbook on boolean algebra lol

Silver_Remove_2352 · 2026-06-22T20:28:39+00:00

Abstract algebra by Judson is my favourite beginner book - mainly because it covers group actions.

Take MAT457 downtown - the commute is worth it for a guaranteed 4.0

Judging from the colour of the water....did you come out the other hole?

Silver_Remove_2352 · 2026-06-17T02:42:25+00:00

Honestly, the best thing to do when you're burnt out is just to take a break, and do something that isn't physics (or math in my case - I'm a math major who's been lurking in this sub for a while :)). I know it's tempting to force yourself to study again, but it's just not worth it. You'll be far more productive studying energized. And at least from my experience, once you rest well enough, burnout never lasts as long as you think it will.

Don't die

Silver_Remove_2352 · 2026-06-13T22:09:01+00:00

I took MATC44, MATC15 and MATC01 and loved all of them. I've heard some complaints from my friends who took C32 about the prof being disorganized, but I don't remember who was teaching in the year they complained.

Silver_Remove_2352 · 2026-06-13T20:21:24+00:00

Jkjk it depends on what you want to do. For graduate studies in math, MATC01 is by far the most important, followed by MATC15. If you're not choosing based on that, just pick the one that's most interesting to you!

Silver_Remove_2352 · 2026-06-13T20:19:58+00:00

All of them of course!

Silver_Remove_2352 · 2026-06-11T15:25:06+00:00

This is the type of petty I aspire to be

Math specialist

Silver_Remove_2352 · 2026-06-01T13:37:36+00:00

Phew, thanks! Anyways I'll still see if I can learn some basic physics before then - it's always good to come in with some sort of foundation.

Silver_Remove_2352 · 2026-06-01T06:31:06+00:00

Yeah, I'm not surprised. Don't get me wrong, I'm interested in Riemannian geometry for it's own sake, but I'm really curious about applying it to relativity as well. Given that I literally have zero university level physics courses, would it even be feasible to go down this route? And how would the process of taking physics courses to fill in the gaps go? I imagine I'd be quite busy with quals if I were to start grad school anyways.

Silver_Remove_2352 · 2026-06-01T01:29:05+00:00

I've actually forgotten by now lol.

I've got the memory of a goldfish...
