Thanks for the answers guys! It helped clear up my confusion a lot.

Question about the "start" of a cosine Fourier series Hey. I was just looking through Paul's Online Notes http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/DE/FourierCosineSeries.aspx to teach myself Fourier Series and I had a question about the a_{0} term of the cosine series. In the online lesson...

As someone who was in your shoes, I can guarantee you you're not going to figure it out by just chugging along. I was fortunate because I lucked into a really well paying job right after school that also gave me a lot of freedom to travel and get drunk and try to sleep around. It was only after...

Lol. Here's a hint. No one is going to fall in love with you or not based on your major.

You sound like a confused kid. I know I was once a confused kid. And I know taking more classes certainly did not help me figure any stuff out.

Isnt this a really good thing?

Yeah this really is incredibly contradictory, unless you mean engineering somehow prepared them for middle management positions in retail.

I used to do this a lot more, but now the courses I take moves so fast I find I don't have time to do stuff like this.

People who tell you you can't do something are always just hating. With this as with everything else you won't know till you try. FWIW I bet 90% of graduate students never see a proof until college sophmore year, not that that really even matters.

It's just 66 MC questions. But, consider that fact that really the only people who take this test are PhD students. I'm not sure if even a lot of masters math programs require this test. I'm currently auditing classes at a 10-15ish ranked school in America and none of the TAs I talked to who...

Why don't you try marking them yourself? I would be very very surprised if you actually did that well.

Since he used the fact E^n was complete in the proof I guess I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say maybe I misunderstood the notation. Anyways thanks for the helps~

Thanks for the quick answer micromass. Yeah that's what I thought. The book I'm using is Introduction to Analysis by Rosenlicht. The statement is exactly what I wrote, "Any closed bounded subset of E^n is compact." and the notation has been E is an arbitrary metric space.

Hello. In my analysis book, it says that "Any closed bounded subset of E^n is compact" where E is an arbitrary metric space. I looked over the proof and it used that fact that E^n was complete, but it does not say that in the original condition so I was wondering if the book made a mistake in...

This might sound patronizing but maybe you can try harder to pay attention in class? I ask because I used to zone out too, then the material became too hard to learn by myself later, so recently I've been trying a lot harder to pay attention in class and it's been working great.
