AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on how to best utilize the two weeks before starting undergraduate studies in the U.S. as an international student. The main focus is on whether to continue self-studying math and improving English skills or to spend time socializing with friends and family. Participants emphasize the importance of balancing both activities. Engaging in social activities is encouraged for enjoyment and relaxation, while also dedicating time to practice English, such as conversing with friends in English. Overall, the consensus suggests that a mix of fun and focused language practice will be beneficial before the transition to university life.

HI all,

The upcoming spring semester, on january 15, i am going to start my undergrad studies at a us university (tlu). I am an international student though, so what i want to know is that what would be the best thing for me to do during these two weeks that are left before i travel to us for my studings. What i mean is that is it better if i just keep teaching myself math like i have been doing recently and reading books in english as a means of further improving my english skills, or just have fun, go out with my friends, visit my relatives(i haven't done this for a long time though) and so on??

What are some of your experiences pertaining to this issue?

thnx in return

Don't waste your time studying.
 
I personally have studied in France before. And every bit of French I learned before going over there helped enormously! I recommend having fun, but at the same time budgeting some time to practice reading, writing, and speaking English as much as you can.
 
maybe you could go out with friends who will agree to speak only english.
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
