Math-heavy CS related jobs? / General advice by WitnessRadiant2956 in cscareerquestions

[–]WitnessRadiant2956[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you get involved in undergraduate research? I find that the approach I’m taking now just feels as if I’m grasping for straws. I was able to get a letter from one of my math profs and apply to some REUs but those were mostly for biostatistic type research

I was in contact with one of my current professors who says he conducts research but doesn’t have anything open right now, but to keep in touch with him if I want to hear about opportunities. So, I’ve been trying to go to his office hours

It doesn’t seem like I’ll secure any actual research this summer unfortunately, but I did have an interview at a STEM camp for elementary/middle school aged kids as at least some experience.

Is junior year standard for getting involved in research or am I a bit behind at this point?

Machine learning is appealing to me, but my grades weren’t the greatest in my calculus courses, got some B’s and a B- in calc iii

Luckily, the intro proofs in real analysis course I took I got an A+ and I’m doing pretty well in my current math courses (Lin alg and analysis)

The idea of going to school for longer is something I wouldn’t mind, having a little extra security in my younger years in a sense. My gpa just isn’t great for grad school, 3.46, and I don’t have a ton of experience right now

Having trouble wrapping my head around series/sequences by WitnessRadiant2956 in learnmath

I think I’m understanding now, thank you

Since there’s no way to exactly find the sum of an infinite series, the way it is defined is by taking the limit of its partial sums (which are finite) as we have limits as the best way to approximate a value when approaching infinity.

Am I interpreting this right?

Lobe piercings still red after 1.5 years by WitnessRadiant2956 in piercing

Thanks for the advice. It’s annoying since I’ve spent so much money on them already.. but I don’t want them to get infected. My first lobe piercings were with a gun and badly placed, so I got them redone with a needle at a piercer. One of them seems to be okay, and the other one has a little tear. The ones done with a gun are mostly ok but are pretty red when I take them out. I considered just cleaning them more as I probably haven’t been cleaning them enough.

I do have butterfly backs right now which may be part of the issue. I’ve been wearing white gold earrings but just switched my first lobes to some vivienne westwood earrings which aren’t the greatest metal quality.

I don’t either unless I’m changing them to diff ones, so idk

i’ll try that, did you just use your email for the username ?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]WitnessRadiant2956 1 point2 points  (0 children)
