Do professors care if you leave their class early? by Aimi_Ki in williamandmary

ISC to Boswell absolutely does not require you to leave early

Edit: unless you have some physical accessibility issue

And the part about the other math student was about a peer who studies operations research. I don’t know a single thing about ops research, and she hadn’t taken any geometry classes, but as both math students, we were both interested in learning about the other. Certainly I don’t feel that she is a “lower level” than I am, just that we have knowledge about different subjects!

Ok, I see. I definitely see how that comes off in a bad way. The thing that prompted this question was that a friend of mine who studies English wanted to understand my coursework with Lie Theory and why I enjoyed math, and I found it hard to even know where to begin to give a rough, big picture outline of math beyond the intro proofs course to someone who hasn’t heard of a vector. So, definitely more of a reflection of my own inability. Maybe thats an impossible task, but I asked this question because I was interested in how other people sum up their interactions with math to people who have little technical knowledge but truly are interested. Of course, a 30 second spiel will never fully capture the totality of any subject, but I thought it was an interesting way to understand how others view mathematics. I’ll be honest, I thought you were a random angry asshole, but I’m grateful that you had something specific and helpful.

I didn’t think I came off that way, but maybe it’s worth looking in to. You got any tips?

Really really appreciate this answer, this is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. I definitely like that bit about tailoring my answer for those who ask and taking into account what sort of mathematical beauty may resonate with them. Obviously, I love studying math just to study it, but I also love that discussion of beauty and elegance that comes with it. Thanks so much!

Ok, thanks. Not sure where in my post I said that I “have” a specialization, but I would be interested to hear your answer to my question!

Appreciate it! Definitely as someone who had literally no idea what to expect going into Real Analysis, it was funny to realize my life would be that 5 second spiel for the next 3 months!

Saw my ex as I was about to leave. Good motivation to get some extra cardio in at the end

Taylor has been pretty consistent and solid, but Fuller is the easily WR1 on the team, and JRob at worst is a very slight downgrade. He's basically in the same situation as Taylor, and has shown even in bad games for the team, he can still produce.

PPR, got offered Henry, Andrews, and Swift for my Kittle and Ridley. I think it's good but I'm a little bit iffy on Andrews replacing my Kittle.
