@Hawk Hi.
 
@Sawarnik what do you feel about him till now?
 
@Hawk him?
Awal Garg?
 
@Sawarnik yes
 
@Hawk maybe showing off to some extent :|
 
@Sawarnik and? anything else?
 
4:39 PM
@Hawk What?
 
@Sawarnik anything else you feel about him yet?
 
What answer are you expecting?
 
@Sawarnik fake claims...the sort of questions he asks in physics.SE doesn't match his claims
 
@Hawk Exactly. His Math.SE questions also show that he may not have a clear conceptual understanding. Many other points I have noted is woeful exaggeration.
 
@Sawarnik I am not expecting any answer from you...I am just trying to sense...are mine and your feelings same?
@Sawarnik I will be back...and will try to ask him few questions in that room...lets see how he responds.
 
4:42 PM
Ok :)
@Hawk Which kind of qs?
 
@Sawarnik and anyone who is researching physics would never say math as polished tool...but would say physics is highly dependent on maths...
@Sawarnik some kind of testing or trapping questions.
 
@Hawk Like? Give some maths so I would understand.
Or maybe you join as well.
 
Just a min...I would need to go urgently..
 
Ok :)
 
@Sawarnik Like testing some advanced things from calculus...that is what he claimed to know didn't he?
@Sawarnik But, I see he has gone....
 
4:52 PM
@Hawk Yup, but he told he ll come back tommorow.
We can test him then.
 
@Sawarnik yes, we'll have to wait...but we can do our homework more...and be prepped...
 
He claimed some extraordinary things, lets see what I remember.
Ok :)
 
@Sawarnik why do you have to remember...it is there in chat archive, isn't it?
 
1) Talked about singularities of complex analysis!
2) Some Grand Unification Theory of physics.
 
:D
 
4:54 PM
Claims to do research on it!
 
Did you ever watch 'Breakout' on NG?
 
Breakout?
 
Yes
 
Whats it?
I think he doesn't understand infinite series and irrationality properly.
 
A show on NG showing actual prison breaks....
I first saw that yesterday night, was amazed to see! It was awesome!
 
4:57 PM
I hav stopped watching NG and Discovery.
 
He doesn't understand many things properly.
 
They show nonsense these days.
 
why?
 
How do you think they filmed the break?
 
The filming was okay, but, overall just awesome, full of suspense, thrill, wit.
 
4:58 PM
Yes, that's right.
But they are not actual stories, just to keep you engaged for an hour.
 
No, they claimed that to be actual...
 
claimed.
 
was even referring to dates and showing actual life people.
 
What question will ask him tomorrow?
 
Yeah, I did not expect them to be of same league as Awal Garg.
I have in my mind Cauchy Condensation.
:)
 
5:00 PM
What is that, I think you were discussing tit with Rob?
 
about Cauchy Condensation... From yesterday, Sush asked me three questions...and it seems that I could satisfy her with my solutions..
 
He doesn't know Taylor series at all, I think.
 
So, today she asked me a question totally beyond my scope...Cauchy Condensation...
I think I learnt that...
 
WHat is that basically?
 
Yes, I thought that too, no idea about Taylor series....
A test whether a sequence converges or diverges...
by a test.
Very helpful I think...problems will be much simplified if we use that.
If $a_n\ge a_{n+1}$ and if $\sum 2^n a_n$ converges then $\sum a_n$ converges
 
5:10 PM
@Hawk Have you protected this room? If he reads it, our plan is foiled!
@Hawk Wow.
 
No...I have not...how to?
@Sawarnik Nothing to wow about...actually robjohn and danielfischer helped me s lot
 
I don't know. There's not much we can do, if he reads it we can't do anything.
 
The point is...he wont be able to find it.
 
@Hawk A wow for the theorem, its so nice.
@Hawk Why do you think so?
 
Yes...it really is...
See the name...why would he search about it?
 
5:16 PM
@Hawk I know people like him at my school, one is a classic.
 
Tell me about it...sounds fun...
 
One days come and gives some nonsense lecture about derivatives .. so finally i ask, what is a derivative? derivative of f(x) is nx^{n-1}
 
hahahah....
 
.. comes up always with some tough iit level questions .. unless you tell him indirectly that he knows everything, he will irritate you to death!
and he is one of the top ranked students in my class!
 
He is!!!!
How?
 
5:21 PM
Because, you marked are marked how well you can rote learn things.
and maintain notebooks, projects blah blah
i hate this system!
 
Why don't you bug him....show him...that you don't know anything...and he knows everything...and give him a tough problem
and heckle him...
 
yes! .. has finally accepted that he can't solve problems .. after heckling him for a while!
ok bye :)
do oyu have any geometry?
 
ok bye...
no will have to find...
 
no prob, bye.
 
@Sawarnik good night...will you be back?
