/sci/ - Science & Math

>>9668539
how so? this is very typical of graduate math programs
in that time we're doing coursework and preparing for our qualifying exams, engaging in research on the side if we have time or if we come in with a master's degree already like some of my colleagues

>>9668529
still haven't passed my quals
typically we don't choose our advisor until the end of the second year, after quals

guess i'll answer the OP
>Where did you get accepted
two nice schools for a computer science phd; attended one then left to do math at florida state university
>Where did you get denied
i got in everywhere i applied for math
got rejected at caltech, BostonU, and some other good schools for comp sci
>What're you working on
machine learning and optimization on riemannian manifolds
>How is your advisor a shitter
don't have a set advisor yet
>How often do you think about killing yourself
literally every day

>>9668513
applied math mostly focussing on machine learning and numerical optimization, though i'm trying to find some time to learn monte-carlo methods on my own since they seem cool and their areas of application are intersting

guess i'll answer the OP

>Where did you get accepted
UChicago and NYU for a CS phd
attended UChicago, then left to do math at FSU

>Where did you get denied
i got in everywhere i applied for math
got rejected at caltech, BostonU, and some other good schools for CS

>What're you working on
machine learning and optimization on riemannian manifolds

>How is your advisor a shitter
don't have a set advisor yet; my advisor at chicago was a perfect human being

>How often do you think about killing yourself
literally every day

mathematics PhD student here
if anyone has any questions on math grad school let me know and i'll reply whenever i decide to check the thread again

Anyone else here ever done the Vergil exam?

Any recommendations on good astrophysics documentaries/tv series?

Goddammit you people need help. Thanks for making me feel much better about myself. Deleting this trainwreck.

Guys I don't like khan academy or ebooks.

I'm glad you do but please go suck his cock in another thread.

Actually just continue as normal as I believe I have what I need. Thank you to those who answered in a mature manner.

i meant -.25x^2 for the first part

wait, whats the formula for a 3d sphere?

ive been messing around on my TI-84 and im closing in on a perfect curve

right now im at -0.5x^2+x+5
when y is greater than 0

needs to be wider though

>>3007457
it looks kind of fat if you ask me

>>3007401
nah there has to be something better.

I was wondering what would be the formula for a perfect ass curve, even a 3d graph if youre smart enough...

is /sci/ capable of such feats?

can do

forgot my trip!

Don't know. Haven't measured. About average, I think?

Ask the only black guy in any of your engineering or computer science classes anything.

The idea was that the lasers were only needed for startup, the compression and heat from the magnets and standing wave did the rest.

Welp, guess I'm off to Wolfram Alpha to figure out what I need in the math department.

What does /sci/ think about my fusion rocket? Would it work? Can I sell it to NASA for immense monies?

I apologize for shitty tablet handwriting.
