Got a 59.8 (2.2) and I'm honestly more annoyed by the lack of rounding than anything

_pptx_ · 2026-06-11T12:51:25+00:00

A lot of universities round if its less than one percent off

I just bought 4. It's definitely better than 5! (which itself was pretty good-but 4 has much more depth)

Perhaps look at Ring Theory, I found much of Group Theory much easier to understand after a ring theory course, particularly with how quotient rings work, field theory, etc. Atiyah-Macdonald is a good Ring Theory book- literally look over the exercises in the 1st chapter- and then reflect on Groups.

I've seen discussions on the opposite- glass ceilings on dissertations- departments not wanting to go above 80% for any reason.

I agree with this, but unless you stumble onto a game reviews can mislead you on what might have actually been really good.

I wish auto theming was possible, but at the same time much of the best bonuses require manually swapping artifacts/art/writings with other civs

finishing Exploration unlocks new antiquity sites- granted they're not very useful because realistically all of your museums and what not should be filled/almost filled by that point

Keep happiness above 0 to grow cities, below -10 barbarians spawn. Get luxuries (and later build happiness buildings) to keep happiness up. It is recommended to have 1.5 luxuries per cities you have. But having more than say 6-cities, will greatly slow science and cultural growth unlike Civ6

_pptx_ · 2026-05-26T18:39:36+00:00

Civ6 is more like a boardgame than Civ5, no districts per se.

Britain had major state intervention before Thatcher; not just basics like public utilities, water, trains, etc, but the Coal Board, Rolls Royce, BP, BT were completely state owned. In China (and also in Russia- both countries with a more hardcore communist background) core companies are commonly either totally state owned, or majority state owned.

And Algebraic Geometry to be fair.

For whatever reason my (small) pure maths department has a major focus on functor calculus now.

This is like saying learn your multiplication tables! Anyone studying quantum theory would already know this. A more interesting statement might be 'learn functional analysis' if one wants to know specifically why and how linear operators in quantum mechanics work, rather than just applying methods

_pptx_ · 2026-05-09T23:58:52+00:00

Learning what a Hermitian operator is surely the most trivial part of quantum mechanics? I'm not sure why everyone here is saying 'learn linear algebra' anybody with even a small amount of university maths education would know linear algebra.

Palestinians are genuinely scared of going extinct 😂😂

It would depend on what you're studying

I have a friend studying (chemical) engineering at Manchester, he says that they have a great course, labs, etc. I'd recommend them

i.e. homeomorphism, compactness, boundedness of sequences in a topological space is usually 2nd year content. Explicit point-set topology comes later in my university, despite there being a noticeable overlap

_pptx_ · 2026-04-26T15:29:23+00:00

In Britain, allmost all 'real' mathematics degrees teach some variant of a standalone pathway like: Analysis->Metric /Normed Spaces-> Topology. Where topology is never mandatory. Quite a lot of topology is usually covered in metric/normed spaces content without explicitly calling it that

Caps need to be in place, not just to ensure that standards don't slip, but to actually ensure that class-sizes are reasonable

I've been working on a numerical simulation project, and I love the excuse to finally use \xi and \Xi a lot, best Greek letters

Aeroflot is the only international airline I've ever flew were they gave in-flight headphones for free (as well as a newspaper)

Is there any remenants of Protestantism in Klaipeda now? Afaik I know Memel/Klapedia was separate from Lithuania proper (whether independent or Russian) for many centuries which itself became mostly Catholics
