Looking for math geeks ;)

[Deleted User]

Just to know, who here is studying math at a high level (master and doctorate) ?
I'd love to share my math geekiness with other tempers.
Btw : I'm in 2nd year of my doctorate

I went the engineering route so maths tailed off a bit in favour of the science but the maths (and to a lesser extent coding for circumvention) behind encryption interests me if it makes any difference.

 

[Smuff]

I got an 'A' level, and that was quite enough maths thankyou very much

Imaginary numbers ("i") was the final straw for me

 

[septimus]

What are these "numbers" you speak of

 

[Psyfira]

I liked maths at school but didn't do further maths, so first year University Level stuff was kind of lost on me. I did Computer Science so there was a fair bit of maths content in that, but it was just a means to an end. We only did the stuff that might be relevant to us so skipped most of the more difficult topics. I got kinda sick of maths really. Although I can't fault it entirely; the copy of Riley Hobson and Bence that I can't understand a word of makes for a very pretty turquoise and lime green monitor stand.

As for other math loving Tempers, where's Squiffy when you need him?

I do psychology... does that count?

imaginary numbers... those are quite easy to explain.
square root of 4 = 2 right?
2*2 = 4 ok.
square root of 1 = 1 right?
1*1 = 1 ok.
square root of -1 = ???
-1 * -1 = 1... so that's not it...
i * i = -1

so basicly:

i = square root of -1.

imaginary numbers?

you guys are crazy...

you are lucky here are no forumbullies to tease you ;-) *JK*

Same here, except I was stupid enough to study Computer Science under the faculty of Mathematics. So I am forced to be a high level math nerd by the end...

 

[Veho]

My, field of (soon-to-be, only half a year to my master's degree) expertise is process automation and robotics, but I went over more math than I can shake a stick at, and I can tackle a lema with the best of them. Well, above-average of them, at least

 

[juggernaut911]

I got an 89% B+ and I dont turn ANYTHING!!!!! guess I'm favourited

 

[tama_mog]

I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science from Cal.....I do not recommend it. 0 real world application for 95% of the jobs. I guess since you've moved on to the doctorate program, you're more or less doing research or planning on teaching.

 

[theonlyone123123]

I'm in 12th grade, and I was nominated for the Regents scholarship at Cal for Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I was accepted at UCLA for EECS and at Duke University's (yes, the lacrosse one) Pratt School of Engineering. Whether or not I get that full scholarship at Cal, I'll probably attend, unless I get into MIT or Caltech. So, basically, lots of math in my near future. =P

Imaginary numbers yield imaginary answers.

Algebra 2 mofuggs!

imaginary numbers are for people with imaginations. i'm out for money and chicks. calc 2 is as far as i went

Hallo!
I'm doing Mathematics and Physics at uni now. I'm in my first year and it's quite difficult. Very different to A-Level maths.
It's still quite interesting, but I seem to be suffering from 1st year syndrome, in that I do almost no work and go to hardly any lectures.
Oh well.

Oh well.

I'd also call it the 3rd year syndrome

Oh let's call it the 8th year syndrome here

The hardest part now is that I have to go to the lectures where I'm the lecturer... damn... At least I teach mathematics for computer graphics it's funny

some students are always excited to make a bouncing ball in povray...

 

[Psyfira]

If you'd spent two years looking at terminal windows and basic windows GUI's you'd be thrilled with a boucy ball too

(Hehehe lookit'it go! *bounce*)
