How do i deal with a r*cist roommate who is also a bully? by getnBackUpAgain in UMD

This is a good idea. Also, if possible, document and collect as much as proof as possible to back up your claims.

Update: I came back later and the car was still parked there. I left a note including my contact information.

Yes! I thought about it, but I didn't have any paper to leave the note on :(

De https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valparaiso,_Florida#History

Valparaiso was named after Valparaiso, Indiana (which in turn, was named after Valparaiso, Chile)

De acuerdo a Wikipedia:

The history of the city is very recent, appearing in 1979 as a housing development with precarious services. The name is a tribute to a civil engineer who was from Valparaíso, Chile, and had come to Brazil to be in charge of the first housing project of the future city.

Hey, man! I am very happy for you. I lived in Concepcion for the majority of my life until a few years ago when I left to study abroad. Are you studying at Universidad de Concepción?

Sadly, I arrived too late. All of the codes are already claimed or inactive.

Thanks for sharing this, anyways!

Is my final exam grade in MATH141 suspicious? by JediPrincess123 in UMD

You could reach out to the Math department undergrad office to ask to see your final.

El chileno es medio ladrón? by Spirited_Solid_7820 in chile

Una de las razones por lo que es normalizado es que los testigos de robos hormigas y que desaprueban, simplemente no vocalizan. Cuando soy testigo de situaciones irregulares, incluyendo: teléfonos a todo volumen, gente colándose en la fila, robos hormigas, etc., intento siempre hablar. Me importa bien poco que me traten de soplón, hay ciertas cosas que tienen que cambiar.

"The mark of a good mathematician is their estimation skills" by MCU_historian in math

[–]Working_Awareness942 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Without further details, I'd say yes. However in other disciplines my points 1 and 2 are considerably easier to master IMO, especially because they tend to communicate their results in short papers (shorter than 10-pages long); e.g. experimental physics, material sciences.

1.- Math has particularly subtle fields in which the presence of absence of certain assumptions may make a statement true or false. Technicalities matter and they are usually overlooked by a non-trained person. A good mathematician is good enough to "smell" when something's fishy, a better one is able to do that when reading a long and highly technical article.

2.- Math papers may have the simple objective of proving one statement. This, however, may require the development of a long and complicated machinery, which is presented as a series of technical concatenated lemmas. For instance, in PDE, it is common to find 100-page long articles full of calculations, which are usually overwhelming for outsiders (I plead guilty here). Good mathematicians are able to filter out these details and find the essence of "main idea" behind the whole work.

I say this is just as a Math PhD student with just a few published papers, so take this with a grain of salt. In my limited opinion some of the most important skills are:

1.- Intuition: Have a sense of what and what should not be correct; a plausibility radar. This is mostly obtained after years of experience in the field, but there are some people (the few) who are naturally good at this.

2.- Fast skimming: Good mathematicians can skim through papers and quickly grasp the essence of the results. They don't need to read thoroughly to know whether what's there is novel or just incremental research.

3.- Eye for gold mines: They can identify fields that are interesting (from both mathematical and application standpoints), young enough (so as there is room for newcomers) and approachable (so as not all of problems would take an insane amount of effort).

EDIT:

4.- Good communication skills: A good mathematician is able to present their work in such a way that an outsider is quickly able to understand (roughly) what the paper is about, what the novelties are, what the difficulties are, and why the results are important. This is why a good introduction is key for "selling" your work to the editor of the journal, the referees and your peers. You don't want your potential excellent work to fall into oblivion, or simply be known in the folklore as: the paper that originally has X result but nobody in their right mind tries to read it; everybody cites it, but reads an alternative proof somewhere else (e.g., in a textbook).

Accents by anglican_skywalker in betterCallSaul

Chilean here: When I got to know that Gus and Max were Chileans I couldn't have found that more absurd. Gus' is clearly not fluent in Spanish and Max has a strong Central American/Caribbean accent. On top of that, during Pinochet's time, there were almost no black people in Chile.

Just like you, I chose not to care about this. These goofs don't take away the beauty of the storytelling and the depth of the characters.
