You won't get into either. Be realistic and look into some less selective colleges. There are certainly a number of solid schools that would suit your needs and would accept you.

I'm down for this. Fluid/continuum mechanics sounds cool, though my interests are pretty broad so anything really is ok with me.

I don't think "numerical" would qualify as mathy here. What kind of stuff did she do specifically?

Rick Allen, hands down... errrr... hand down :cool:.

For discrete math in general there's Knuth and friend's Concrete Mathematics. For generating functions there's http://www.math.upenn.edu/~wilf/DownldGF.html" , which you can download from the author's website. I suppose if you're interested in binary strings and such you'll want to get into...

Yeah, I only believe things that are true, too...

The proposed disclaimer seems pretty reasonable...

Yeah I'm finding measure theory, as well as my other math classes, difficult to conceptualize. It seems I have to throw all my intuition away and start over. I'm hoping the more I mess with stuff, the more comfortable I'll get with it and the better I'll understand it in general. I doubt there's...

3. is Heraclitus.

Don't you mean numbers theories? :wink:

Better question: why is there so much Voyager on Spike?

I wouldn't say "Baker Street" is underrated. Who doesn't like that song?

Hint: \ln{k} < k. What comparisons have you tried? Try some more.

Right... Link, please... I agree. I also agree in general with this sentiment. However, this doesn't mean aptitude isn't a factor. Really, I don't see any purpose for this debate. Both natural aptitude and training are both factors in being good at something. But the only way to improve...
