hi :DDDDDDDDDDDDD

What school are you in?

>>9113221

The administration decided that they wanted to revamp it out of the blue, and asked students to vote on the design.

The runners up were a blue shield with zero iconography, and one that had the fucking bumblebee mascot on it. I didn't want my terminal degree to look like it had been obtained at Chuckie Cheese's so I picked the best of a bad lot. The faculty said the new logo had "overwhelming support." I wonder how overwhelming the support was considering the option to "leave that shit alone" was never available.

I noticed at the time that they'd ditched all of the Latin words for art and science, medicine, and music on the new logo too. I dunno, maybe the dead language triggered some high up diversity studies professor. We did have a gender studies department at the time, incidentally. However, this was also back when you could still mock the ever loving shit out of it, which I did frequently. Good times.

I live in Melbourne right now.
From what I can gather most undergrads use on campus accommodation, I suppose it is still expensive however it is not as bad as other options.

>>9114342
Melbourne has some good uni options so it's not like I (>>9114421) am forced to move but it seems like ANU is the best option for physics in Australia.

>>9114421
>>9114424
yeah ive looked at on campus accommodation and even that would be too expensive considering it has to be payed upfront and my parents wont pay for me

i live in sydney so ill probably apply to unsw, but i feel like i could be doing better since anu has a higher rank

>>9114429
Yeah it can be pretty rough considering it's rare that you will know anyone there to share accommodation costs with, at least for the first year.

>>9114429
What course were you considering? If it is science based I would say ANU is worth it, if not I don't really know much about other subjects so I wouldn't be able to tell you.

>>9114437
i was considering advanced computing at anu, although unsw has maths and computer science which sounds better

>>9114444
You could also consider doing a major in computer science via a bachelor of science, since I know they have that option at ANU. Not sure what it is like though honestly but you could look into the units you can do for it etc.

The Jews pretty much control all of the major American universities, and I doubt that they will allow an Iranian to get a master's degree in biochemistry from any of them, although you might get a chance if you do your best to show them what a good goy you are.

>>9116156
If you're looking for grad school in the US, most places don't offer a masters degree, you can apply directly for the PhD program. I'd suggest browsing this list as a start.

I'm disappointed by how obviously the profs have been told to avoid discussion of military applications of their work. I came from a military-funded lab and here if I mention a potential military application of some research the profs will go quiet and change the subject. There's an obvious institutional push to promote "feel-good research" where everything is about "life sciences" and curing cancer or some shit. One prof gave a seminar on an upcoming Army-sponsored project he landed (because military are the best early adopters and nobody else wants to foot the bill for high risk research). He actually said "my sponsors want X for X, but I envision much broader applications in medicine and climate research." Straight up talking out of his ass and both sides of his mouth.

The area around UCF is p nice. It's still a big city so there are scummy areas but you learn what to avoid and there's actually a lot of pretty things to see, especially in Downtown. The atmosphere is not bad, it's a very big campus but parking is ASS so if you commute either get up early or prepare to Park & Ride. It is very much a college campus, it doesn't feel like a college town like UF or similar colleges. I've not had a professor whose door isn't open to any inquiries by students, everyone is very helpful and knowledgeable about their material.

Mentality of students varies. A lot of the CREOL kids love their field, I see it as a job investment because I'm too practical to go into a field I like that'll net me no money in the long run. It's never felt like the students were being pressured to learn against their will or enjoy things they don't like.

Have you done the Algorithms module? Taking it this year myself and not sure how hard it is. Numerical Analysis is a very, very easy module if you haven't done it yet. Same with Analysis III / Mathematical Analysis III

I just found it a complete pain to get tables and stuff to work. Probably could've done it faster from first principles in OpenGL with how long it took me

>>9122417
>Algorithms module
I had CS126, but I dont think you are going to take 1st year module.
I am not choosing modules based on how easy are they, but on how useful. I wanted to take analysis 3, but now I know almost all the material for this module, so it is kinda pointless.
Did you take functional programming? I thought about taking it, but only if they are using haskell or something similar(jut checked, they do use haskell).
> get tables and stuff to work
Which tables?

>>9122464
Had a look through the slides on CS126 and regretted not taking it. I wish I was in a position where that seemed reasonable. On the first, 2:1 boundary atm.

I'm going to. Downloaded the the recommended textbook from libgen and I'm really liking the language. The thought of becoming a better programmer is nice too.

In the coursework they had us outputting basics stats data in nice, basic tables. Libraries I installed to make it easier were always messing up on me.

There's a MS in Statistics program which seems pretty intriguing, grads from that program get hired pretty quickly in finance, "data science", actuarial jobs, etc. Plus I just really enjoy the subject.

I was considering getting a masters in business analytics through the business school(similar average starting salary/employment rates), but statistics seems to have way more flexible job opportunities, including the opportunities that the analytics program would offer.

>>9122594

A big step up from first year. I worked much harder in the second and actually regressed by about 0.1%. I have a few friends who still managed to achieve 80+%, but for most people it was quite a bit harder.

I didn't do any of the modules on your core list so can't say much about those. Avoid CS249 at all costs. While the exam is incredibly easy, the lecturer is completely insane and terrible at lecturing (hence the easy exam, since it's literally a copy and paste of a previous year's). The amount of times he either ignored my emails or just CC'd his invisible TA...

MA231 and MA225 are very fun, even if the latter is easily the hardest 2nd year core module for us. If you're interested in algebra definitely do MA136. Samir is such a good lecturer.

>>9122608
Meh, modules look like the stuff I read on Rudin this summer. I thought about attending, but not registering, I dont want to waste course points, better take courses which will give me maximum amount of new useful knowledge.

> regressed by about 0.1%
What does it mean?

MA136 is a decent one, I had it.

> Avoid CS249 at all costs
What are the good cs modules then? And maybe you know some good stats ones?

>>9122633
Well, the maths department doesn't enforce prerequisites for stuff other than MA4 modules iirc. So, take a look at the third year ones if you want to push yourself.

To go from 68% in year 1 to 67.9% in year 2.

CS324 is really fun. Coursework takes much longer than 20 hours, but I enjoyed learning OpenGL. CS262 is just a formal logic module-- don't do that one. They're offering CS349 again this year, which gives you an opportunity to find research papers on a programming language of your choice and present it to the class. If I end up having the time to take it, I'll be the one doing RSL (RenderMan Shading Language). CS356 is a new module on randomised algorithms that I 100% am doing. You can find a few papers on randomised matrix algorithms to read and see if it's your thing-- as the title implies, there's quite a lot of stats there. That's all I know from CS.

I haven't done any stats outside of first year modules, but I had flatmates who did ST222 and said it was very badly taught. EC220 is a more economics-based version of it on the unlikely chance you did EC106.

Have a look at the physics and engineering depts for some different unusual options. For engineering you'll need to learn up on circuit diagrams before attempting any though.

>>9122657
Isnt your first year just a 10% of your total?
Also I know that you have to write some kind of "paper" in the final year? What does that mean? I asked all 1.5 people I talk with, and noone expalined to me what it acutally is.

coorstek is coming along nicely isn't it.

>>9122701
Yes, it's 10:30:60 for the BSc. 10:20:30:40 for the MMath.

Have you looked at the module page for it (if it exists)? It would probably explain it better than I could. In case there isn't one, our 4th year one is probably rather similar and you can read what that's like here:

http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/maths/undergrad/ughandbook/year4/ma469/

You could probably take MA213 as an unusual option if you wanted to do something like that as practice. I found it kinda enjoyable, but it ate up a lot of time. Just don't do it on cryptography if you do-- everybody does cryptography. In my tutor group, there was myself doing something about Bezier curves, 2 about cryptography, 1 about Newton's laws and another person doing elliptic curves and applications... i.e. cryptography.

>>9123045
> Got rekt after a year in my prépa

Which one (just out of curiosity) ?

> Anything I should know?

As a general advice, you should use at least one week, ideally two to get back on your feet and be indomitable on the basics you should have learned during your first year, by which I mean the general principles of linear algebra, asymptotic expansions (= les DLs), basic real analysis (intermediate value theorem), basic algebra (groups, morphisms and whatnot) and some other things which I may have forgotten.

FWIW, you didn't even bother tell whether you would come as a 1st or 2nd year of undergrad, but given that it was "not particularly bad", I'd go for a 2nd.

> Also, I'll be doing the joint licence with Paris 1

No fucking idea of what it should imply in terms of schedule or expected work, do not expect any advice from me in this regard.

> like another person who posts here regularly

I'm not that person, if that's the underlying question.

I made some research, it turns out I don't have enough points to study anything meaningful in by second and final year. Will either learn everything I need on my own or give up.

Also, this is from my project module page.
"Students select a project during Term 3 of the second year by submitting an outline of the proposed project and finding an academic member of staff to supervise it."
Do we get a set of topics to select from? How do I find "an academic member of staff"?

>>9123124
Usually, (at least, this is how things work in the maths dept) staff will have their own research interests and you do something with the staff member whose interests are most closely related to yours. Then all you have to do is go to them via email/office hours etc and ask them to supervise your project. Ask your personal tutor for help if you can't find anybody after a bit of digging around the dept.

If yours happen to be stochastic analysis, you might be able to do something with Hairer idk

>>9123180

>>9123189
He's a chad in the maths world.

Maybe you could find an adviser over in cs? Shoot the module leader an email or something.

If you want to use your CATS only for modules where you learn interesting stuff, don't bother with a language. You can teach yourself quite easily online for everything but speaking, and then the only way to really learn how to speak a language is to go and live in a country where it's spoken imo

>>9123310
I haven't taken that crap, just read the module page last year wondering whether I should do it as an unusual option. From the sounds of it, I'm as abnormal as you are. I found my flatmates on TSR for a start

>>9123315
Kek. Finding flatmates was hell.

>>9123329
How'd you do it? I alienated all 10 of my flatmates in year 1 by the start of term 2. Leaving passive aggressive notes in the fridge asking people not to put food on >my shelf was one of the main causes. Looking back, fuck was I autistic

>>9123347
I wasnt agressive in any way, I am just so ugly that people try not to contact with me.
I applied to the warwick system where they assign you to a group of flatmates for the second year. But when they replied that there is only one place for 120 a week which I cant afford, I started looking for other places on the "looking for flatmates" page, and after writing to ~5 groups, I finally got my affordable room. Money is the only motivation to contact with people for me

>>9123371
I wasn't aggressive, just really damn autistic about what was 'mine' and what wasn't. Then I just sat in my room 24/7 and only entered the kitchen to cook my food, which I usually ate in my room to avoid people. Also did my shopping at Tesco at 2-3am-- for the same reasons.

I applied to that and was put with 3 females in some Coventry dump. Found their social media accounts and realised I wanted nothing to do with that sort, so just decided to ask a few other desperate people I'd be speaking too on TSR for ages. Still ended up in a Coventry dump, but they're nice people and quiet like me.

Can't go on like that forever anon...

>>9123398
Indeed it is. I did lots of late night walks during term 2 and 3. Used to do a 10 mile route through pitch black country lanes. Set off at 1 and arrived back at like 5am. So comfy. I'd say you should try it, but it's too late now really because getting out of central Cov is pretty dangerous at night.

2 stacies though... I'm sorry anon. Truly

>>9123398

My advice: see where the top graduates from your program ended up. I thought my program was a dead end, but it's turned out three noteworthy researchers and professors in the last few years.

I've done this for 3 years. Also because I hate actually being in the kitchen (and don't always have a proper one in my accommodation) I eat way too much at uni cafeterias and microwave shit. Outside of uni I always make my own food and eat way healthier.

Maybe I'm just shit at uni, but I feel I never got taught, just talked at. No assistance at all in exactly how to answer questions, but must concede that profs are knowledgeable on law as a subject.

i got into UChicago from a basically unranked public school uni down the street from my house
it's less about the institution you came from and more about what you did with your time when it comes to STEM

>>9127767
How do you like it? Applying for transfer this fall

I'm attending a state college due to cost and I'm still broke. I took out the maximum subsidized loans and it isn't even enough to pay for tuition and fees of a state school!

>>9129205
State schools aren't necessarily the cheapest. The $60k/yr school I go to ended up being cheaper than my state school because they are willing to spend a lot of money to "recruit" desirable students.

Step aside, Pure math Bruinfag here

>>9129535
Would you recommend UCLA pure math?

>>9127067
I'm there as a chem phd, it's an okay place that works i guess. There are a lot of worse places you could go

>>9129160
That is good to hear. What did you focus on? I was planning on mainly focusing on research plus taking advanced classes.

>>9129684
i did an REU and took a shit ton of classes
did two degrees: math and comp sci

>>9129562
It depends, I've had an ok experience in the honors math courses. I've learned a fuck ton, I was talking to graduate counselors at Pomona/Long Beach and they say I'm way ahead. Our honors upper division is graduate classes at most other schools. I've had professors make my life living hell, and others where it's nothing but pure joy to be around. The thing is, they only care about their research and their PhD students research. The profs there aren't to teach. If you want to do under grad research, go to a cal state or maybe UCR/UCI. If you want a challenge and don't mind working on math 50-60 hours a week it's fantastic. But they don't slow down and it will push you to your absolute limits. I'd give it 8/10 experience so far overall but be warned it's a grind and it's not for everyone

>>9129696
I'm doing the exact same thing, two degrees and all.

>>9129696
What did field did you go into?

>>9129709
good shit, 頑張って anon

>>9129711

>>9129191
What year are you in?

>>9129821
About to go into first year. Not underage just late to uni. How's the physics department there?

USC here. Studying my masters in EE. Got into UCLA and USC but chose USC since the company is paying for it. Not sure if I made the right choice.

>>9129717
Holy shit man, those are the two fields I am considering. What made you pick financial mathematical over machine learning? I am leaning towards financial mathematics, but it seemed like it boxes you into working in the financial sector. What would you say?

Alas, Nebraska State College System.
Peru State College, Wayne State College, or Chadron State College--for the sake of anonymity, I won't say which. That being said, the undergraduate program at my school is arguably better than similar programs at UNO or UNL.
Still wish I would have gone to UNL, though. These open-enrollment schools draw a unique crowd, and they're all located in small-ass towns. Lincoln is fucking spectacular in comparison.
