    Other Should I Become a Mathematician?

    Yes I concur :) I hate the outlined epsilon - N notation- genius, yes- still I am amazed at things like the rhind papyrus (obviously not applying to limits)- so old, so simple (now--maybe :) )- yet so important- see even then they thought math was all the 'mysteries' and 'secrets' of life... ;)

    Do what makes you happy- you only get older and life gets shorter- I am a new mom with no time at all on my hands yet I manage. If your parents money is the issue then apply for a student loan- i am in debt bc of mine yet my world is still in equilibrium and everything is ok! Linear algebra...

    btw i love this analogy- sometimes those are the most important ones (apple)- compsci is so neat to me- like matrix transformations being applied to comp graphics- little stuff like that is cool to me- and i understand the whole work/being older thing (not saying your old-lol-imsure someone will...

    haha this is funny now- vid- 'HE' IS A 'SHE' and you must write proofs like my last advanced calc teacher-i did not say 'therefor an applied mathematician does not understand as well'. you used your own deductive logic to come to your own conclusion. AHHH my football team lost and then I get an...

    I did not knock anyone or what they think or how they think it- I am not disputing an opinion that is mine alone with people that are rude. I am a grad student and a new mom- Not a philosophy major- you twist my words around- I never said that a 'biologist' wouldn't see things that a...

    It was an opinion. I did not say that mathematicians were the only people who see things differently. I just said some do. Between applied and pure mathematics, which was the topic, a pure mathematician is most likely going to understand the concepts more in depth than the person who just...

    Pure mathematics is the way to the underground. I don't get it all but I do know that if you understand how you are doing it and WHY you are doing it- in every way!- then you are able to understand why everything is so- i mean everything. Pure math is what people do not see, it is the...
