I was greeted (when I got back from biking) with an email saying there was an update on reach-school application, so I logged into the portal, navigated through several links, and finally found a standard rejection letter. :(
handy hint for general problem solving - if you're stuck, try explaining the problem to an imaginary person (or inanimate object), often following a more coherent thought process gives you the "aha!" moment
in Software Engineering, we call the "rubber ducking", because traditionally you have a rubber duck on your desk whom you explain the problem to
also, to your earlier point - the educational grading system has the unfortunate habit of being stuck in a negative-weighted paradigm, one day I'm hoping this will change (I'm trying to start doing that here in NZ), but the way I would look at it, don't celebrate getting a C- in class, celebrate that you improved a whole grade!
My grade is basically solely based on tests (multiple-choice, no partial credit) and occasional free participation points which do give a really solid cushion but like
I can usually get by in some of my other classes. Like in AP Physics, my teacher gives you a point for trying to solve the problem, another point for doing the steps correctly, and another point for getting the answer correct
(for FRQs)
What's the most frustrating is losing an entire point just because I messed up a number somewhere while having the right idea
Like I thought that tan(120) was sin(1/2)/cos(sqrt(3)/2) which I get if I wrote that in a unit circle test, but this was for like angle addition
Getting the correct numerical value was just one step
yup, and there are so few places in life where you're expected to perform under the same sort of circumstances - I love learning but hated how school assessed your capabilities - only thing I can say is that one day it'll be behind you and you'll get to do the things you enjoy :)
I assume $\mu$ and $\nu$ are distributions with $d\mu$ and $d\nu$ the corresponding measures. Then $d\mu\otimes d\nu$ denotes the product measure. Distributions $\mu$ can be seen as generalised functions, where $\mu(x)$ doesn't have to be defined. However, I think in your case $\mu$ and $\nu$ are...
the foster family we got him from named him the same week SpaceX were doing a bunch of stuff, so he and his brother got space-themed names (iirc, his brother is 'Orbit')
