Sabotage. I regularly circulate bad study guides to give me a leg up.

>>7689059
I wouldn't be surprised. I recall a few years back taking an advanced undergrad algebra class our professor used to assign all these problems from D&F. Half the class would just copy the answers from project crazy project and he'd always get mad when everyone wrote the same mistake ridden proofs as on that website.

>>7689059
That's projectcrazyproject for sure. I know and have graded for profs that assign exercises where they know that the posted solution is false just to catch lazy undergrads.

After a while I am convinced that Dummit wrote all the solutions on that sight just to fuck with his students.

It's a middle eastern and Indian thing. Most of them genuinely don't realize that they're shitty and think they're helping.

The kicker is that it somehow continues all the way into grad school for some of them.

They're often shitty in their field. I find Africans like Nigerians are better than derka derkas and curry niggers. One of the best grad professors I had was Nigerian and explained everything really simple in class. Einstein always said if you can't explain it in simple terms then you don't understand it. It took me years to fully understand what he meant.

You think you're smarter than a string theorist OP?

How do you do research in String Theory without even knowing algebraic geometry.

>>7689240
I think this dumbass "string theorist" is full of shit

What the fuck is this gratuitous attack for?
I never heard of this meme, and it makes no sense.

>>7689055

Haha I just saw this the other day with my Non-linear Dynamics class. I was just googling to see if there was any guidance someone could offer, and this person's solutions were literally all completely fucking wrong. Wrong answers. Wrong analysis. I think I even spotted some algebra mistakes.

They were just trying to help others, but they really needed to work on their on math skills first.

>>7689316
Easy, he's lying.

>>7689375
How many undergrad classes have you taught? How many classes have you taken at the graduate level?

Groups (unintentionally, usually) wipe each other out this way all too often.

b-b-b-b-but science is self correcting!

I'm a middle easterner currently doing my Ph.D thesis in algebraic geometry.

Either you didn't understand my post, or I don't understand yours.

I'm sorry but how is algebraic geometry applicable to fucking goats?

>>7689428
Not very useful.
But it helps in knowing how to effectively blow up points on a plane.

>>7689437
The Gmen are going to knock on your door tonight.

>>7689409
So you teach at least one or two undergrad classes a semester.

You don't see a large number of middle eastern students form a study group, then proceed to turn in assignments with identical wrong or nonsensical answers on a regular basis?

>>7689437
hahaha as an eastern european (Greek) studying linear algebra, this gave me a good laugh

>>7689437
BTFU

Blown The Fuck Up

>>7689316
It's almost as if string theory is a large subject with many different areas of research

>>7689554
Quantum Mechanics is a large subject with many different areas of research. You still can't work in any of them if you don't know calculus.

>>7689055
ah, that's a common student trolling tactic. Sometimes profs will find the worst homework someone did and post the solutions online just to fuck with students. Then you can easily figure out who copied the solutions directly from the shitty copy
