Was 3 years ago. I miss that professor.

>interrupting
Why?
You still understood the professors point . Unless you have something substantial to say shut up

I too remember being that tool who would correct the professor when he she made the slightest fucking mistake

>>9503164
>he she
Almost, soyboy, almost.

>>9503119
because he was wrong. are you illiterate? do you just let your prof and TA make mistakes without clarifying? that's even worse than interrupting them.

>>9504296
Wew. You're too far gone

t.butthurt TA

handwritten greek letters are a mess

>It's another "people still insist on using ξ instead of something easier for everyone to write" episode. Everyone knows damn well they haven't run out of greek letters to choose from.

Why

>lives below minimum wage so he can babysit undergrads in remedial math courses
even worse

TA calls the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac , the determinant.

Get on my level plebs.

>Not knowing that symbols are just symbols and anyone can just call their symbols whatever they think fits best.

Top kek, someone has never invented notation in his life.

>>9505484
Wait so you do that?

>>9505023
Why do people struggle with it so much? I also noticed classmates that can't write it, so just write a z. Only thing I can think of is that they never learned how to write cursive so can only make basic shapes, since they also were unable to read my notes written in cursive.

>>9505554
But the discriminant IS a determinant, brainlet.

[eqn]\begin{vmatrix}b & 2a \\ 2c & b\end{vmatrix}[/eqn]

Ahh yes

>>9506948

[eqn]
-\frac{1}{a} \begin{vmatrix}
c & b & 0\\
b & 2a & b\\
a & 0 & 2a
\end{vmatrix}
[/eqn]

>[math](a+b)^2\neq a^2+b^2[/math]

>"Well that depends on the ring hurr hurr hurr"

tryhard undergrads are the worst

>>9507045
You need to me even more tryhard than them to counter that, e.g.
[eqn](a+b)^2 \neq a^2 + b^2 \text{ a.s.}[/eqn]

>>9507328
*to be
just noticed it lmao

>>9506941
ahh...i miss my undergrad days

>>9507604
They allowed you to be an undergrad before high school?

>>9507045
But what is wrong with that? It is a useful fact that [math] (a+b)^2 = a^2 + b ^2 [/math] in [math] \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z} [/math].

It is the algebraic way of expressing they have the same parity, which is a very useful property in some number theory problems.

Ah, American education. "Writing and reading is useless", amiright?
Seriously, you guys have a fucking problem. Niggers in the colonies had a better education, and we know how it went when the teachers left.
