Last semester I took 7 classes all level 200 and 300 courses including Diff equations, linear algebra, data structures and discrete math. I found myself working 70-80 hours a week. This is what I learned:
1. organization and time management. This is the most important issue. To tackle my...
What I did
Last summer I had a great Internship at the NSF, and although it wasn't a research internship on paper I ended up doing research a small but fun research project. Coming from a small school in Puerto Rico, I had the same problem as you did, I didn't know what to write for my...
IF anyone that have any idea reads this, I will be happy with a quick pointer in the right direction, like reading material or general subject for the proposed solution. Also excuse my English, it is not my first language.
Thanks for the corrections. I made an error and copied and pasted it over and over.
I understand, but just so you know, I have been working very hard for the last three days to try and solve this problem. I simply don't have enough background knowledge to solve this. I'm not a genius...
Hi This is one of the problems for my take home final exam on differential equations.
I have been looking for a solution for this problem intensely for the last two days. This problem comes from Calculus vol 2 by Apostol section 6.24 ex 7. here it is

I think I can define a crummy college for you as I go to one. No research in my areas of interest (comp science), the students are mostly social science and education majors, and the students organization presence is almost invisible in the school. Clases are not even challenging.
As I...
I envy you:)
Thats fine and dandy if you know the answer to the problem, as long as the answer is right. If you didn't have the correct answer from a trusted source, then the procedure would be essential, but I think we agree on this.
I still think that being able to clearly(...
I agree with you, there are things in my mind that I can't dream of explaining, they are so deep and beautiful. At least they seem to be, from far away in my mind. I don't have the ability to express them yet because I can't see them clear enough. If I was able to clearly see them I should...
What I do to avoid mistakes is knowing that the purpose is not to solve the problem, the purpose is to clearly explain the solution to others ( in the case of a test, the instructor) The clearer is the path to the solution, the better I feel about it. After all, what's the use of being good at...
Hello kdinser, not too long ago I read http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=00010347-101C-14C1-8F9E83414B7F4945" (scientific american). In it, it details the possible thought process of a chess grandmaster. Aparently( and I agree with it) chess masters don't actually calculate all posible...
well at my campus they offer various degrees in business, nursing, biology, chemistry, comp science and education. the majority of the students are majoring in education.
The university has various campuses around the island and I'm going to one of th esmallest one. If I was to do a...
Greetings.Let me tell you a little bit of my story
When I started school a year and a half ago I was pretty sure that I wanted to become an engineer. I really like the concept of the computer as a the ultimate comunication and calculation tool, and I've always have an interest in...
Thanks for your answer leright. I can understand that, but I can't see it clearly. I understand that the definition of the derivative has its roots on the definition of slope. I can see that fairly clear. the problem is that the theorems are comin in a little fast for me to clearly see how they...
