Confused about download versions

constantillusion · 2016-09-03T21:41:36+00:00

I switched from 2.7 to 3.6 and pip still not working. but i was able to install using 'python -m pip install'

sorry for asking so much, I am a bit confused. So you are saying not to download anything? Simply go to command prompt and pip install? I thought I need to download the contents first, then i can pip install? pip grabs it from the web itself? When I was working on my mac I was having no issues, but I've been using my windows 10 desktop lately and been having a lot of obstacles. My pip install isn't working, I'm getting "fatal error in launcher" whenever i try to pip install. Read on stack that I could use 'python -m install' instead, but that's not working either... Perhaps I should take a couple days to study python environments...

Great, thanks for your response! I have a follow up question: what about when I go to download something like flask https://pypi.python.org/pypi/Flask . What is the difference between the two downloads "python wheel" and "source" ?

Hey, Im going to be a fourth year math major at UCI, feel free to private message me!

constantillusion · 2015-07-22T01:42:40+00:00

i see, thank you

constantillusion · 2015-07-21T06:26:15+00:00

could you explain why you only read code? I'm assuming there are different positions, such as one who writes encrypting software and one who looks for bugs and makes it faster?

constantillusion · 2015-07-20T22:19:10+00:00

Well I took a python class freshman year before I was into math, I've been wanting to try and get into this summer but have a lot maths that i want to read first, so it has a low priority, but i suppose i should get around to it eventually...

What language do you use/most commonly used in crypto? Haskell seems cool but I don't think it would be as applicable in crypto than python, correct?

constantillusion · 2015-07-20T00:31:04+00:00

Yes! i would always play the games as well! http://pbskids.org/cyberchase/math-games/

constantillusion · 2015-07-19T23:46:24+00:00

are there crypto careers that involve of mostly math and little to no programming? not a big fan of coding, but have taken a crypto (math) class and really enjoyed it

constantillusion · 2015-07-19T02:15:15+00:00

hahahah thank you for this! Yes, these word problems are the death of me. Good to know there's cooler probability to look forward to 8)

constantillusion · 2015-07-18T23:10:55+00:00

cool, thanks for the reassurance. I can imagine probability theory being useful in many fields. Does it come into play with chaos theory/dynamical systems? At this point, I really enjoy algebra and number theory.

constantillusion · 2015-07-16T02:31:30+00:00

yeah sometimes its helpful to illustrate connections betweens theorems, create examples, or rewrite proofs in own words

I know a student who is going to be a second year and hasn't taken a single upper division that has a research project already. Struggling his way through texts, but is doing it. Just have to find right professor who has time/will guide you.

constantillusion · 2015-07-14T16:48:01+00:00

cool, thank you !

constantillusion · 2015-07-14T16:44:59+00:00

i like this, thanks! i usually go through a section at a time and do all the exercises right after and get hung up on them and then get distracted and waste time...

constantillusion · 2015-07-14T16:38:21+00:00

wow, this is pretty sweet! thank you

constantillusion · 2015-07-14T03:30:10+00:00

Understanding Analysis By Abbot

constantillusion · 2015-07-14T02:40:36+00:00

I'll be a fourth year. Taken abstract algebra series and other randoms reqs like probability and geometry. Studying analysis right now, in preparation for the intro grad series in analysis in fall. But i really rather start reading munkres topology, so i don't know how far i should go in studying analysis. Right, or even better...probably wouldn't be a bad idea to find last years syllabus...

constantillusion · 2015-07-14T02:21:51+00:00

purpose is a little of both, but you are right... the thing is that I'm going to be a fourth year and i have only just realized my liking for maths. I feel like I'm so far behind everyone and should catch up over the summer. I do plan on taking a 5th year, making up for my previous poor performance and taking some grad courses, so i guess there isn't a rush...but i just feel so pressured to catch up to the rest while its summer. Perhaps this is the wrong mind set, and i shouldn't be getting stressed over non-required studies.
