Don't you have a home where you could study in peace? If you want to study at the campus, then get some well sealed closed headphones and play pink/brown/grey noise. I don't suggest white noise because it sounds unpleasantly sharp to human ears. Grey noise is the most optimized, though for maximal efficiency you have to adjust it yourself. The stock grey noise on the mynoise site is great as it is, though.

People in a library are supposed to shut the fuck up, it's honestly surprising that this isn't enforced at OP's uni's library, and sometimes you have an hour or two between classes when you'd like to study, but going home is not really an option for such a short time.

Asking the prof to do it for you instead of struggling with it until you develop an actual intuition of your own is laziness, and more importantly it doesn't work.
You've probably heard at least a dozen times in your undergrad that you can't learn math by watching. You have to fight with it yourself.

When somebody asks the prof or the book to do it for them they're either
>asking for an easy-to-grasp analogy they can use instead of the nuts-and-bolts mathematical formulation
>asking somebody else to constantly answer "why?" so you never have to deal with inquisitive thought of your own

From the Wikipedia article:
>the two-dimensional surface of a (three-dimensional) ball in three-dimensional space is a 2-sphere, often simply called a sphere
>(three-dimensional) ball
>2-sphere
Your claim:
>(the two-dimensional sphere)
>S^2
If you're referring to the dimension of the manifold, make that clear.
Your statement reads: the three dimensional sphere is two dimensional.

I did this alot because it would take me at least an hour to get home and another hour to get back. It was more efficient to nap at the library (or elsewhere on campus). Plus being at home is incredibly distracting.

It was never three-dimensional. It was a surface, boundary of a three-dimensional object (3-ball). That's exactly what wiki says. Are you baiting me already.
