as my old math teacher used to tell us: "University's are full of average people that try hard."
my situation is close to yours, I'm starting at U of Waterloo CompSci in 2 weeks which is also a relatively competitive program (competing for co-op spots). my game plan is to work hard to...
i'm sure many people just memorize certain outcomes through experience, but i memorize patterns in the numbers. i haven't read any books about speed math or anything, but knowing and recognizing patterns in numbers often allow me to calculate answers from decimals to relatively large numbers...
awesome man, i figured this was going to be a "woe is me, i got a B" thread, but I'm glad it's a positive thread.
just shows what hard work can accomplish.

i read a lot to...
