Thanks for the info. I've only seen "solutions to selected problems" maybe twice, so odd problems having solutions like this was a new thing.

>>8726747
This. God damn I hate scales. I wish people just accepted what they got on tests and exams and realized if they got a bad score that they need to study harder and actually learn the material.

If your university didn't fail 2/3rds of your class out of your stem field in the first year it's a brainlet university.

If your school doesn't challenge you enough and you have time to waste on 4chan, you might go to a brainlet uni.

>>8727156
Then there is one of three possibilities:
>The tests are way too hard
>The professor is shit at teaching
>The students are complete retards
If they're all retards, they should be left to fail. More likely, though, it's one of the first two problems.

>>8727186
we're a top 10 physics faculty globally so I doubt it's 2 or 3

perhaps you're just a fucking brainlet with no experience outside your fucking retard American school where everyone can perform well


kys

>>8727193
Not the guy you are responding to, but if you knew the answer to your question why ask it in the first place?

>>8727193
A test where the average is 19% is a pointless test. If half the students are unable to correctly answer more than a fifth of the test, then they haven't learnt the material being tested.

>>8727212
>>8727193
Also, faculties are ranked mostly by their research. I've met plenty of brilliant researchers who are terrible teachers. Research skills and teaching skills are different and mastery of one set of skills does not imply mastery of the other.

>>8727220
this is probably the most American answer I've ever read just because of how fucking ignorant it is

kys

>>8727212
I wouldn't set any limits like that. Some classes are supposed to be weeders, and the pass rate is whatever it is. If the average is 19% that means almost everyone needs to gtfo

>>8726495
It's a directional school.

>>8726993
This, you go to a brainlet university if otherwise

>>8727220
I'm not a native english speaker and I enrolled for courses imparted in english because reasons. The teachers giving the lectures are the heads of the different investigation fields hosted in my university because they visit and do expostions in foreign conventions often, so their spoken english is top notch. They are excellent teachers and their several PhD don't get in the way of feeling empathy for their studients, they're probably the best teachers I've had in college so far. From my experience, the ones that have given up on their investigations and just come to give class, or the guys who are just hired from somewhere else to do a specific class are the worst, they just don't give a fuck.

>>8727293
That's funny since I'm not American.

>>8728918
Teaching out of your own textbook always struck me as excessively egotistical. I get it, if none of the other books approach the subject the way you'd like to teach it, or there simply aren't any other books, but at least collaborate with someone so it's not just your name on the cover.

France.
Exams aren't used to fail people, though. They are quite good, it's the people who can't work (including me - used to do just enough to pass the finals and ended up with a 2.8 gpa)

Oh, and another problem is that it has a famous CS program but the first two years (common undergraduate program) are all physics/maths.

>>8733775
>>8733777
>#7 in France
>famous

Tbh the only french University anyone's heard about is the Sorbonne, and that's more historical than anything

Also if half the course drop out the exams are definitely too hard, or the entrance tests / interviews / criteria not selective enough

To be fair it's like that in most european universities, nothing exclusive to France

>>8733791
We have a lot of foreigners here. Meet several dudes from Michigan.

It's still is famous in France.

>>8733791
I get your point though : but still I feel kinda robbed. I just want to have a fair chance, I don't pretend to be the smartest man alive.

>>8733793
Which Uni ist it? Lyon?

Every University in europe has foreign students, usually more for the "study abroad" experience than academic merit though

>>8733806
Robbed of doing pure maths? Can you not transfer, or are there rules against it in France?

>>8733811
Transfering in the middle of the cursus is not a good choice, don't you think ? Gotta finish what you started. I'm memeing when I say "robbed" - it's just that I know how hard it will be. But I'll have an engineering degree and a master in experimental physics, I guess.

>>8733809
Troyes. It's not known outside of France, yes. But it's still something, I guess.

>>8733818
Well if you want to go into pure mathematics having the wrong degree will be more of a pain than losing a semester or so whislt switching universities

Anyways, it's obviously up to you, just make sure it's a rational decision and not inaction due to complacency, which you may regret later

How do you get to the point where you decided you are too dumb for that course/uni? It would break me forever.

>>8733859
Cologne is a joke of a University

If you're average ther whilst actually putting in some effort then it's very unlikely that you would actually get anywhere in academia

Industry or teaching is a different story of course

>>8733868
I got to that point by being bad and especially worse than friends of mine with less interest in maths than me..
Other than being a brainlet, another reason for being so bad is my lazyness, which explains how even some people with no interest in maths surpass me easily.
The biggest reason that keeps me going is that I like maths and that whatever job I get after university will suck in comparison, so I would like to keep doing it as long as reasonably possible(masters). Also, I still have some hope that I will get less lazy sooner or later.

>>8733874
I know it's a joke, I went to Bonn before it, but can you define putting in effort roughly in time per whatever?

>>8733886
30+ hours a week for average performance is brainlet

That would be at a decent Uni like Bonn, at Cologne the brainlet effort cutoff would be lower, like 20-25 hours a week

Situation similaire, sauf qu'on m'a un peu pousser à faire de la physique fondamentale sous prétexte que j'étais intéressé par ça quand j'étais au lycée et que j'ai lu ce connard de Stephen Hawking (car on m'a offert ce bouquin pour mon anniversaire quand j'avais 15 ans).

Depuis, mes parents m'ont jamais laché là-dessus, donc je vais finir un master 2 auquel je ne comprends rien, et je ne peux rien y faire, car contrairement aux mathématiques, la physique, c'est beaucoup moins rigoureux, donc plusieurs interprétations sont possibles quand les définitions ne sont pas bien posées, et ceux qui réussissent, sont ceux qui parviennent à avoir la bonne interprétation de manière naturelle, mais je ne fais pas partie de cette catégorie. C'est une sorte d'autisme, je ne comprends rien à ce que ces singes racontent, parce qu'on ne parle pas le même langage.

Bref, je vais me retrouver avec un master 2 inutile, et je ne connaitrais jamais les maths pures. J'ai vraiment une vie de merde, j'ai envie de me tirer une balle, mais je ne peux pas, car je vis dans un pays de lopettes où les armes à feu sont interdites.

There are good reasons for both sides and you usually change it for whatever you are working with(in analysis it makes sense to have 0 be natural since you use it very often), lemme give you one easy one though: if zero is so natural why didn't every culture that had numbers have the number zero?

NC State is not a brainlet university. Also this >>8731463

>University allows professors to inflate/give out grades
I'm not talking about 0,1-0,2 points so the fucker can pass the class, some people go from d to b.

>Switching professors when too much people fail
It's funny when the switch is made, one semester 80% of the class will not pass, next semester almost everybody will then next semester 80% failure rate...

>If you did not reach the minimum passing grade, you can try doing the final exam
The test lowers the minimum passing grade from c to d, the final grade then becomes ((your grade before exam *0.6 + your exam grade *0.4) >= 60%), some people don't even do some tests throughout the year because it's not worth the trouble, they will wait for the exams.

>having to hear lectures about ethics and moral from the most amoral people around

The joys of living in a third world country.

>>8736223
I thought american universities do that too. Because they get more shekels if students know they will pass there.

As he mentioned above in one of the replies

>>8731653
More like the other way round

If your profs create and mark the exams it's a brainlet Uni

Depends on the class

The profs explicitly define the natural numbers starting either with 1 or 0, depending which definition is more convenient for the topic of the class (for example, analysis was without zero, while most other classes were with zero IIRC)

Brainlet Uni alright

>>8737185
There's only like 6-7 Unis that are consistently in the gloval top 10. It's one of them, what do you need to know the name for

Not gonna give you any info for some triggered brainlet to try and doxx me

>I still have some hope that I will get less lazy sooner or later.

You're delusional if you think your laziness will just fade away without any chance in lifestyle. If I were you I'd look into getting a prescription for amphetamines (study drugs), without them I never would of made it through all of my calculus coursework; the stuff wasn't too hard, just tedious as hell

>>8737467
>>8737451
UNC is a prestigious university, so much so it's considered a 'public ivy'. Not surprising since it is a top 5 nationally ranked public school. It is very difficult to be accepted to UNC as an OOS and in general has a low acceptance rate. Since you cannot even locate NC on a map, your opinion matters very little.

>>8737293
I'm just interested because you are being very rude.
How would I doxx you even?
I go to med school a university which is
>top 10 in medicine
>top 10 in life sciences
No need to put down others universities for it, especially since NCSU isn't bad.

Also, what do you study? Genuinely curious.

UNC's Chemistry department invented capillary electrophoresis (the most accurate GC) and the biology department developed gel electrophoresis, both of which were attributed to specific professors that taught and gave labs on the techniques.

why are britbong schools so awful

Spent a semester at Imperial last spring and it was dogshit. Pretentious students and easy classes, at least compared to UC Berkeley.

UVA isn't better than UNC in areas that matter.

>>8739421
>>8739692
For example UNC is 28 in math UVA is 52 lmao. Also, Nc state has a higher ranked engineering program than uva. UVA is for liberal arts brainlets. UNC is literally the better school. Which school has recent nobel prize winners? Not uva, UNC.

>>8726495
There are blacks enrolled there

>>8739183
It's not like applicants and universities can be given a number and if you're this good then you get into all schools between X and Z but nothing better.

>>8739183
People get rejected from Harvard to get accept by Stanford and vice versa. People get rejected by State universities to be accepted to Cornell. There is some randomness to it

>>8739183
UVA is for aristocracy. He just didn't have the correct family members.

I'm actually dead serious by the way. If you don't come from a private school they "know", or have legacy, you better be fucking amazing on paper. Being so rich that the admissions people know you are rich also helps.

>>8739778
I promise you that the average UVA graduate makes more money over their lifetime than a UNC graduate.

>>8739830
UNC is higher ranked than UVA in areas that matter. The difference between 4 and 5 in the nationally ranked scale is meaningless. I'd rather go to UNC over UVA for STEM studies. UNC and UVA are sister schools. They are literally like the same school except in two different states.

>>8739778
>>8739765
Doesn't mean anything, it is overall a better school so the admissions are just flat out more difficult because its more in demand.

>>8739881
UVA is not the flat out better school. Telling the same lie over and over again doesn't make it true. UNC and UVA are virtually the same school except UNC has a stronger bio / stem program and UVA has the better brainlet liberal art program

>>8729845

If you have to use rankings to argue for your school being better, you go to a brainlet university.

>>8736223
The passing grades in my university are always 47.5% in each part (practical and theoretical), and we need to have the practical part done during the semester or we fail and we have to pass in the theoretical final exam too

>>8737147
In my university, you would fuck yourself up as well, projects + final exam to pass and if you fail in the projects, you fail the course automatically, no exam or whatever to save you

If your university doesnt actually do any worthwile research

>>8743624
what do you consider worthwhile, i do research involving some pretty niche molecular inhibitors but you won;t know if it yields powerful finds untill you do it

>>8743641
All research is worthwile if your not retarded about it, but I mean that if you never see articles or never have seen any that are made about something your university is doing then its a brainlet college.

Good colleges do things of value with their members

I think for grad level all depends on the labs. You should do a research before applying and see whether there are at least a couple of labs that you would fucking love to join. Chances are in more meme schools you would find more labs like this, but it is much much better to apply based on labs rather than on rankings.
As for undergrad, I think it is better to apply in big cities regardless of the level of the school and just search for internships/opportunities. I did my undegrad in a CUNY public university, absolutely for free without a scholarship and still had plenty of chances to do undegrad research at Colombia and Weil Cornell and now do research at MIT. It is useless to expect that rankings of your school somehow will reflect whether you are brainlet or not.

>>8727358
You clearly have no idea what a PhD is and how it actually operates. It's not a trade school where you just do x, nor it is a seminary where you learn to recite about x. Your whole post reads like a load of sour grapes of your own failures as a person more than anything about a PhD.

>>8743259

Having several examinations throughout the term of semester is brainlet
