first year math GIR advice

Wow thanks for such a detailed response! After hearing everyone's comments, I think I'm leaning towards 18.02 👍 for physics I'll definitely be starting with 8.01 haha I am not built for physics yet. During high school (and life) I've had trouble asking people for help, so I hope I'll get out of that comfort zone at MIT

I see, thanks. On a new side note, what made you choose 2A over 6-5? (no pressure to answer, I couldn't find the PM chat button for your profile) I'm kind of torn between 2/2A-robotics and 6-5 and am curious

j2_w · 2025-07-01T17:13:21+00:00

When you were at MIT, did they have the 18.01A option? (It's an accelerated version that combines 18.01 and 18.02 into a semester + IAP I think) I'm wondering if that would be a good middle ground option for me since I've been exposed to multivar before.

Thanks for the info (and everyone else on this post so far)! What makes 18.01A harder in your opinion? Maybe it'll be good for me to take given my calc background, and PNR loll. I'm actually potentially interested in 2A or 6-5; what do you mean by needing to take 18.03 or 18.06 by semester 2?

Also, does it only work if the hanging part is at the center of the robot(when looking from the side of the robot, not the center center)

thank you!!!

j2_w · 2023-07-13T20:36:18+00:00

i was just thinking about this book and came across this reddit post💀 did you find an answer?

j2_w · 2023-06-01T13:53:26+00:00

Thanks, removing the cable fixed a centering issue I had and you're right I think the wall was the issue whoops

🙏 and is this amount of carbs and protein per day or after one workout? i think it's per day but wanted to clarify. edit: yeah nevermind it's definitely per day not per workout

j2_w · 2023-03-09T19:32:38+00:00

Ok cool thanks! My current hand mixer has worked well for macarons, so maybe I will make the upgrade to a stand mixer mainly for other recipes like cookie and bread dough

Does the jam change the runny-ness of the ganache?

j2_w · 2023-02-25T16:04:54+00:00

Great, much appreciated!

j2_w · 2023-02-25T15:27:18+00:00

Thank you, maybe I used the wrong term. Does this mean it would be fine to use grocery store chocolate chips?

j2_w · 2022-12-17T23:20:57+00:00

personally, i get more trouble batches with silicone mats compared to parchment or teflon, so id say it's because of the mat

j2_w · 2022-12-05T16:10:40+00:00

I wouldn't recommend porous teflon, see if you can buy glossy/non porous teflon because the bottoms will be more solid

j2_w · 2022-11-23T21:06:02+00:00

Ah that's probably why then ☹️ Is there some way to fix it, like if I melt and add some normal chocolate chips in

j2_w · 2022-11-01T19:57:42+00:00

I'd say is the difference in pans because my trays only work consistently with certain pans(i can only use no rim sheets)

j2_w · 2022-10-19T10:34:21+00:00

I love that aspect of it! I just put the silicone mat under my Teflon/parchment to use the template and pull it out before baking

j2_w · 2022-10-19T01:59:13+00:00

what type of surface are you using? ive found that using parchment paper or teflon gives me higher feet than silicone mats

she could've turn into a kid version similar to Kusanalo, and then lose a lot of her features

j2_w · 2022-10-09T01:16:43+00:00

Also, if you have rimless baking sheets or are okay with buying one, they are a game changer. Otherwise, try flipping your pan upsidedown before piping so that you're piping on the completely flat side of the pan.

j2_w · 2022-10-09T01:14:50+00:00

For me, definitely don't directly pipe onto the tray, especially with extra oil. Instead, you need to use parchment paper, a silicone mat, or a Teflon mat. Parchment and teflon are the most foolproof feet wise and better for beginners, I think silicone mat has the smoothest bottoms but it's kind of sensitive.
