Okay, then you got the same thing I did. I will ask my professor about it tomorrow. Since after you subtract N=400 from both sides then divide through, it comes out to 20.

Okay, how did you make the jump from the line starting with N(at least one) to the next line where you have =400-MBEF?

Homework Statement "A sneaky registrar reports the following information about a group of about 400 students. There are 180 taking a math class, 200 taking an English class, 160 taking a biology class, and 250 in a foreign language class. 80 are enrolled in both math and English, 90 in math and...

Not DE, there may be some early level proof courses you could look into. I don't know but imagine that would be a tough one to teach yourself though. Is anyone going to the Joint Meeting in Boston this year?

I used Stewart for Calculus, then Lay for Real Analysis. I liked Stewart for like nucl34rgg said, showed me what something was and how it worked in a way very pleasing to my intuition. Now that I am in Real Analysis, I'm appreciated that slight bit of Calculus intuition to help give me an idea...

Does anyone know where I can find a good list of graduate schools for math outside of the US?

One of my professors talks frequently about when he had finished the actual mathematical work of his PhD thesis and had solved it. He says something to the extent, "at that moment, I realized I knew something about Mathematics, well the world, that nobody else had ever figured out. It was a...

I actually want to argue this, if you apply only to schools that have research in an area you are interested in then you will only get accepted to schools that do research in an area you are interested in. Considering how difficult graduate school is, it seems like a terrible mistake to go...

You're too kind:shy:

Yea, my mindset leans toward, I want to show that Doug knows this material better than anyone else in this room. I don't take too kindly to second place, I do not have any negative feelings towards the students who manage to do better than me. I am simply very disappointed in any of the time...

Thanks, I was talking to one of my professors Friday and he also recommended Number Theory and Topology as well. He also mentioned Differential Geometry but he said I should wait until I have taken an upper level proof course before I try self teaching myself over the summer. So my reading for...

I have the same mentality, though I do not recommend it to other because it can led to frustration and disappointment if you can't perform that well. I know that having this one kid in my classes has helped my study habits a whole lot. He is regarded by many in our math department as a genius...

I mean, here is the other major detail that hinders my motivation to do that if it is not necessary, I started in a spring semester as opposed to the fall. So if I graduate in exactly 8 semesters then I am just doing nothing for a whole semester waiting for grad school apps to get back since...

I never started making really good grades until I got to the point in my life where school was my biggest priority because graduate school is the next goal. I need those grades to get into a better graduate school. The other major thing was that I needed to understand these things, not just for...
