    Hey Shadow, sorry! I didnt see this cos I'm on my phone and eont notice the notifications. And yeah.. I think that if people are incapable of being nice from the beginning and respecting you for who you are, then they are the kinds of people I don't want to be friends with.

    I would give u pos rep for owning matty g but apparently ive spread too much in the last 24 hours
    A
    Ahhh okay, mine specifically stated the pronunciation of it... haha. And that it wasn't a delta and not to pronounce it "dee" - however he does think that all his notation and that is the only notation to use!
    A
    I can't draw them, I just make it look messy and hard to read, would much rather write delta's.

    My lecturer pronounces it 'dey', is yours the same?
    A
    Yea it doesn't seem hard, but when I'm sitting there and they whack the symbols up without explaining I'm like "wait... what the hell is that!" hahaha.

    I was glad that the lecturer specified that the symbol in the partial derivative wasn't a delta though.
    A
    Yea, I think that'd be great!

    Plus the notation would be nice to get used to. Being dumped into Calc I was unsure of a lot of the symbols (for all, there exists, subset, union, intersection, etc), but if I'd done Discrete beforehand I reckon it would have helped heaps.
    A
    Yea, he's not very mathematical, only took it because it's compulsory for comp sci here.

    And yea that's why I wanted to do it - because it's more proof based and it would help with understanding proofs in the other subjects.
    A
    Well most people I talk to at Uni don't seem to like it at all! haha.

    Yea my brother did it and... didn't enjoy it. Gave me the course notes though and I've had a bit of a look and it looks like it'd be fun. Plus if at the very least it'd help with the way I think about the maths and help formalise it.
    A
    Yea not many people seem to like Stats... hahaha.

    I don't know if I'll end up doing Discrete. I'd like to but it's not compulsory (and it's a first year subject) so not sure when/if I'd take it. Agreed with Calc being interesting from a conceptual point of view, the single variable case seems so basic in comparison.
    A
    Hahah yea I have a compulsory Stats subject that I'll probably take first session next year.

    Probably Multivariable Calc... It just seems so nice in comparison to anything else I've done (except for second order partial derivatives - such a pain to work out, not hard just tedious). Linear Algebra is good and I don't dislike it, but I don't *really enjoy it*.

    The other subject is pretty basic and covers the first year stuff, so it's good to learn but nothing exciting.

    And I do a programming subject - compulsory - however I'm starting to like it and as I said thinking about a double major.

    Your favourite? (out of all the maths you've done though?)
    A
    Statistics, ew D:

    Multivariate and Vector Calculus
    Linear Algebra
    Advanced Mathematics - just the two first year subjects crammed in the one session
    M
    What did i trick you into?
    o____o

    My memory sucks.
    K
    haha yeah, I might have noticed that :D But I'm glad everything worked well for you!
    If its better than high school then I'm looking forward to it and good luck with your uni studies!
    K
    I'm not too good with stress but definitely coping at the moment :) How did you go with coping in your HSC?
    Uni sounds fun! What are you hoping to get into once you graduate?
