The discussion revolves around a math contest focused on calculus at a university, exploring participants' experiences, outcomes, and perspectives on the value of competition versus learning. The scope includes personal experiences, emotional support, and philosophical reflections on education.
Participants generally agree on the supportive nature of the community and the value of learning, but there is a divergence in views regarding the importance of training for competitions versus pursuing broader educational interests.
Some participants express uncertainty about future opportunities for competitions, indicating a lack of clarity on the scheduling of subsequent events.
Great that you are having such contests. Best of luck!ZaidAlyafey said:We are having a math contest on calculus at our university, hope me the best luck :D
MarkFL said:Does the contest cover all areas of undergraduate university mathematics?
I like Serena said:Good luck!
Will you let us know what the result is?
ZaidAlyafey said:I have qualified to the next stage which will take place after 10 hours.
Gratz! May the force be with you!ZaidAlyafey said:I have qualified to the next stage which will take place after 10 hours.

haha:P I need to find something cooler :P I can't just change it, that's why I don't got anything right now;) You maybe should check this http://browse.deviantart.com/art/Math-85457717 as well(Rofl)I like Serena said:I've been puzzling about your "Regards,".
To be consistent with chisigma's $\chi$ $\sigma$, it should be followed by something like $\pi$ $\tau$, which is rather appropriate I guess. ;)

ZaidAlyafey said:I didn't make . It all went wrong during the second stage :(
I like Serena said:That's a pity.
Will there be another opportunity?
ZaidAlyafey said:Maybe the next semester .
I like Serena said:Aha!
Will you be training for it?
ZaidAlyafey said:No , I wouldn't spend my life training for competitions . I prefer to learn new interesting things. I realized that learning new things is by far more interesting than becoming a machine to compute things .
