OT: I'm bored.

diffy-Qs were the hardest for me...I actually had to study for that class...

I don't think this is the worst I've ever had. Probably the semester when I took OChem 1, Foundations of Mathematics, Calc III and Physics I was my busiest. Besides, I'm half done with the two long papers, know the topic of the 15-page research paper and the 15-minute presentation inside and out (I actually went so far as to design my own ground-breaking research project on the premise of it), and the two exams are in pretty easy classes: intro to microeconomics and introduction to chemical analysis. It's not so much difficult as insanely time-consuming.

EDIT: In any case, it beats having a quantum physics and physical chemistry exam on the same day. That's how I ended last semester.

I know I'm a nerd, but I thought foundations was a very fun class. Of course I was able to concentrate on it a lot because I took it over the summer. Still pretty interesting and fairly abstract stuff.

Shawt through the heart and you're to blame..

What did you find the most challenging, Calculus II or III?

I breezed through Calc II. Calc III was not good to me. I couldn't stay awake in class, and it reflected in my grade.

Blech, Mondays. Glad I don't have to work tomorrow. I was in a pretty epic car accident myself about a year ago. Hope things are going well.

Thank you. I was driving my mom's four month old 2009 Hyundai Sante Fe. Completely the other dude's fault. Car was totaled. They said if I had been driving anything smaller, I would be dead. I had very minor injuries...just fucked up muscles in my shoulders that gave me some bad pain for awhile. Still aches, but not horrible at all. I hope you were similarly lucky.

Yeah, that's me...in the swamp AND here.

Calc II is pretty much integrate, integrate and when you're done integrate again. Calc III actually had some substance to it.

You and me both

Congrats on the Pens...

You're way ahead of me then. I did a 12-pager the night before it was due. The hilarious part is that my prof loved it and submitted it for a scholarship...I won $2,800 towards my next semester for it being the best English paper written that year. Ridiculous, but some people just work better under pressure. I had to due a 'time management' workshop with some students this past semester, and I had to tell that them that some people do indeed do better sweating it out at the deadline. That's just the way it is.

I honestly think that's not a bad workload at all (writing wise). I had to do a 60-page paper sophomore year. I tell my students about that when they are bitching about four page papers. They can't believe it.

The 15-pager isn't going to be all that bad. It's a chemistry paper, so half of that will be diagrams, tables, and charts. I'm probably going to use either a kinetic or a quantum study of azobenzene isomerization as my topic, so there will be plenty of graphs and equations and chemical formulas and diagrams and the like to take up space.

And I, like you, work best under pressure. Although, I put everything off to the last minute, so I honestly don't know how I work without pressure...

I gave up on Calculus in my Junior year of high school (after years and years of annual math competitions). First week in, I just said fuck it, and I switched to an English class with the Freshmen girls.

my most favorite math class was MATH 230 - 3D Vector Analysis (not sure of the exact title)

You're the thread killer...

It seemed like I was always the last one to post over there, no matter what thread.

Calc II is pretty much integrate, integrate and when you're done integrate again. Calc III actually had some substance to it.

Calc III was similar to Linear Algebra (which was one of the easiest math classes I have ever taken). So II was more challenging for me. Integration was annoying, especially "by parts."

Ha! So true. I should say that I definitely work more quickly under pressure. How does that saying go..."If you wait until the last minute, it only takes a minute to do."

Edit: I somehow fucked up the formatting, but whatevs.

Man, I only got up to Algebra II. That happens when you don't go to college.

I dig your style. I did the same...of course you are probably referring to college Freshmen...

Umm, man the weather was real nice today.

Everyone always said that they didn't like integration by parts, but I never thought it was that bad. Integrating using trigonometric substitutions always gave me trouble though.

My favorite was problem solving and creative math.

Yes, I'm not kidding. Being an English Ed. major I only had to take two maths. This was one of them -- it involved logic problems and sudoku.
