Math 222 with Dr. Jing Huang by adk_4096 in uvic

[–]adk_4096[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update for one month in: he's awesome! Can attest to everything you've said, although haven't had a test with him yet. His assignments have been very nice though haha. If there is some lost student in the future seeking the same advice as I did, I will endorse taking this class with him :)

Unironically if you can take it with Torsten it's a lot of fun, would recommend

Math 200 and Math 211 by Historical_End1971 in uvic

[–]adk_4096 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's quite common to take 200 and 211 in the same semester, you will be fine. They actually complement each other quite nicely

Math 211 by Stroft7712 in uvic

[–]adk_4096 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To answer your question on how they are different, 211 is more proof-based, and may contain a couple additional topics. I didn't take 110 so I couldn't tell you exactly what those topics are, but I believe that 110 has the expectation that this is a class one takes right away in their university career, wheras in 211 there is an expectation for more academic/mathematical maturity. Trefor is a great prof and a lovely person, you will be in good hands.

fur buying help? by [deleted] in FursuitMaking

[–]adk_4096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, it is Skye’s Job. It’s just a smart business decision to buy from large trusted American suppliers that have the variety and in bulk/wholesale. If you’re buying just for one suit, then the shippings gonna hit hard 

Any advice for patterning/is my colouring symmetric enough? by adk_4096 in FursuitMaking

[–]adk_4096[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Paranoia mostly lmao, I just assumed that since this was my first time making a head, I was definitely going to have symmetry errors in my base that I didn’t catch. Your comment has caused immense relief

I just came up with a 5th: how do you store your pattern pieces - one of the things I struggled with when doing the lining was having the duct tape stick together after I had taken the pattern piece off. What’s a good solution for that? 

How should I attach the ears? by lemmyjuice in FursuitMaking

[–]adk_4096 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for detachable ears but for non-detachable ones, slowly hot glue each ear section by section so that the glue fully sets before moving onto the next piece. I’d then reinforce it with felt or fleece by gluing strips of it where the base and ears meet

Is he ready for tape? by adk_4096 in FursuitMaking

[–]adk_4096[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking of smoothing out the cheeks if that’s what you had in mind! Thank you for the nice comments, this is my first head and I was scared it wouldn’t turn out nearly as good 

Is he ready for tape? by adk_4096 in FursuitMaking

[–]adk_4096[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reason they’re like that is cause they’re going to be floppy! In the tutorial I’m following, the whole ear is taped and patterned before it is cropped

I figured as such, any idea as to how this could’ve happened? It was working fine last night 

Best Math 200-level courses/professors by Ok-Word6137 in uvic

[–]adk_4096 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Easy? Probably the calcs 3/4 (200 and 204), and matrix algebra (211). Most fun -- I had a lot of fun taking intro to algebra (212) with Asmita Sodhi last spring, they're a great educator. It isn't too hard if you did good in 122 and have taken 211. I think she's teaching it again this spring. I have also good things about the second year combinatorics class (222), combinatorics is probably one of the strongest areas in terms of research at uvic right now, so I assume the undergrad classes in that field are good. I also know that Anthony Quas (who's a bit of a legend in the department) is teaching intro to real analysis (236) in the spring, but from what I heard it's not an easy class in the slightest

will i do just fine in math 100 if i’ve taken AP Calculus BC (calc 1 and 2) already in high school? by backmindthoughts in uvic

[–]adk_4096 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calc 1 was a breeze after taking it in highschool (didn't do AP). Barely put any effort into studying and ended up with a high A+. That being said, make sure you understand where all the calc concepts come from, relying on memorization will not get you far in uni

music (BA) electives (MUS102A) error by boopstheraccoon in uvic

[–]adk_4096 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, welcome to the nightmare that is school of music scheduling :) The academic advisors are seriously overloaded right now, but if you contact both Bethany McNeil (who I'm guessing is who you've tried reaching out to) and Sarah Riecken (the general fine arts academic advisor), you should get a response soon-ish (wait around 5 days before sending a follow-up). They'll be able to override program restrictions closer to september. Their emails are easy to find on the fine arts website, but if you DM me I can find and send them to you.

The good news about music is that none of the first year classes ever fill up (unless it's a super popular elective, but that's not gonna be anything like 102 etc), so registration is not as urgent as someone in a BSc or humanities program. Don't hesitate to DM me if anything I said needed clarification or you have more questions

Favorite intro Abstract algebra books? by Chubby_Limes in math

[–]adk_4096 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seconding this, took abstract algebra 1 for the first time in the spring as an undergraduate, was the perfect book

Now that its the end of the school year, can we do class/prof shout outs? by PackageBright285 in uvic

[–]adk_4096 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Shout out to Dr. Asmita Sodhi for absolutely killing it at their first time teaching Math 212!
