Just got accepted to my first math REU.
>feelsgoodman.

Has /sci/ ever done an REU? How was it?

I can relate to this . . .

Don't worry OP you're not alone.

Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to be an astronaut. I grew up watching Sagan, space documentaries, Star Wars, and my room was full of encyclopaedias.

I just never had the math skills to become one.

i forgot, carl sagan smoked weed

OP You're right.

I am actually very poorly educated. I skimmed over all of my liberal arts cores... didn't really give them true effort. Because of that I am poorly rounded. My only strengths are in mathematics. Even there, however, I am pretty mediocre compared to the playing field. I am still a child. I play videogames and magic cards with my kissless friends... no way near as motivated and ambitious as some of the foreign students we have at our school. Oh well. Why do you post on here OP?

lose the pop sci nonsense, pick up a cold hard calculus textbook

Hey /sci/,

I'm really sorry to ask, but I was told you guys can be helpful with helping with programming. I was wondering if anyone would mind giving a little insight on my java lab for this week. I've had a lot of work, so haven't gotten to read much into inheritance this week. This is the link for the lab: http://lucas.cis.temple.edu/~lafollet/1068/LifeLab.txt I basically have to create Conway's Game of Life. Some code is given to be extended into the new class: http://lucas.cis.temple.edu/~lafollet/1068/examp2/Page.java If anyone could give some insight on how to begin with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello /sci/,

I'm sorry to ask, but would anyone mind giving some insight on my java lab? It's not too difficult, but I didn't have time to read about the material for the week. Here's the link: http://lucas.cis.temple.edu/~lafollet/1068/Lab6.txt Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

Surely I can't be the only one who's getting sick of all the "Women in Mathematics" events going on lately? If the sexes really are equal, there is no need to hold conferences specially for wymyn, in fact, doing so is blatantly sexist against men.
