Udachi tebe v etom semestre!

I really love the Russian language. Right now I'm trying to transition from basic conversational speech to sounding more native and that part is difficult. I can get my point across on most topics, but I'll make so many errors in the process that it is very clear I'm not Russian. I want to speak it perfectly!

I'm glad to have a native Russian speaker on MHF! I agree that English is a very difficult second language to learn. Best of luck to you.

I'll summarize it here -

Studying Place : Lebanon

Year : 12

Section : General Sciences ( Math & Physics)

My Goals : Try my best , Work Hard as much as I can

I'm facing difficulties in the time I'm taking in doing my home work.

Thanks in Advance ,

I'm in my first year as an undergraduate at uni. I did my A levels about 15 years ago so I've found the first few weeks a bit of a shock.

I'm doing Core Techniques in Maths 1 and Statistics in Semester 1 & Operational Research and Core Techniques 2 in S2.

Also doing Psychology as a joint honours.

BA Harvard - Major: Physics, Minor: Economics
Classes:
Introduction to probability and statistics (grad school level)
International Trade and Investment
Introduction to Econometrics
Modern European Intellectual History

Goals: hmm, get an econ research internship for next year some place cool

[gaby99]

Nothing but humanities courses. I finished mostly all required classes.

[Pinkk]

For the upcoming spring semester:

Advanced Calculus 1
Intro to Modern Geometry
Structural Geology
Philosophy or Political Science

14 credits, 15 hours (if I get Philosophy) or 15 credits, 16 hours (if I get Political Science).

I have only finished my midterm. I want sleep. Next semester will take care of itself. If I could change things, I would tour Europe a year before I started college. Too late now.

Currently I am a 2nd year student at the University of Toledo. My class load this semester is:

-Political + Social Philosophy
-Real Analysis 1
-Abstract Algebra
-Survey of Astronomy
-Intermediate Spanish 2 (4th semester Spanish class)
-World History to 1500
18 credit hours total

Next semester I am taking:
-Honors North American Literature
-Honors Differential Equations
-Philosophy of Mathematics seminar (I am so excited for this class, the ontological status of numbers is one of the most interesting questions in math IMO)
-Modern Philosophy: from Descartes to Kant
-Elementary Linear Algebra (Techincally I could take the 3000 level linear algebra, but for some reason my pure math major requires I take this one)
-Real Analysis 2
18 credit hours total

To put my course load into context, I am an honors student majoring in pure mathematics + philosophy.

My goals for this year are to get above a 3.0 GPA (these upper level math classes are giving me a run for my money: they are the first classes I have taken where a 70% overall is considered a good grade lol), and eventually be a senior by the end of the year (I came into college with 25 or so credit hours from high school, so if all goes according to plan, I will have enough to be considered a senior and I will be able to complete my undergrad degree in 3 years =]). Also, I did some undergraduate research last summer on a philosophical topic (If you're interested to know what it was, I basically analyzed Miguel de Unamuno's Niebla, which is an existentialist novel in Spanish, and helped make the case that Unamuno deserves a lot more recognition than he gets), and this year I know more about math, so I am aiming to get another grant proposal this time in math (though I would also be happy doing a philosophical research topic).

Hi all, yes my quarter is almost over but I will post anyway! I hope to graduate Sp 2011 with degrees in BioMath and Mol. Genetics

This Quarter:
Real Analysis(i am terrible at this...and just found out I don't need it)
Linear Algebra
BioChemistry
Art education(GEC)
I am also taking a wonderful seminar in BioMath topics!


Next quarter
Stats 420
Mol Gen
Integrated Biology 401
ASL 1

I am using Math Help for help in analysis! I really don't like the course

• Community Service

• Linear Algebra II (Bloody difficult. And so strange at times. Weird concepts. )
• Ordinary Differential Equations
• Sequences and Series

Having passed all the above I shall proceed by taking the following in the first semester of 2010:

• Databases and Database Systems
• Web Programming
• Discrete Mathematics
• Numerical Analysis
• Physics I (This is just because I need a few more first year credits)

[A Beautiful Mind]

General Chemistry I
English 101
Comparative Government
Principles of Microeconomics

19 credit semester.
