@user58512 :)

Kentucky fried chicken !

@JacobBlack like mine. You would think I am a really amateur in math if you look at my post. But as you all know, I am a big pro.

$\Huge\text{KFC}$

i prefer kfc to zfc :)

mathoverflow anyone ? :)

Mathoverflow is for pros. It's hard enough in here.

I have exactly 1 rep there. I cannot even vote. It is kind of depressing (not being able to vote). :P

@OrangeHarvester ahahah

@Y'all Do NA universities fund international students for their masters?

conditions ? illness ? @JacobBlack

@JacobBlack sorry to hear. im not perfect either and my teacher is sick too

@JacobBlack unofficial. a chess friend actually

@JacobBlack Hmm. Yes that can be the case. I think that too many (for good or bad, I am not to judge) careers have been changed by the simple line, "I don't think you are good enough to do A."

Hitler , you are not good enough for politics or the army.

I am of the kind, "you don't think I'm good enough? well, some nice words"

irronically that has been said to him

@mick not sure if it was correct, he did lead his country to disaster later.

@OrangeHarvester I don't think anyone would say that to someone unless they thought it was for their own good.

@OrangeHarvester its correct. im just a kid without education but i know my stuff :)

@mick no, I mean, I am not sure whether the prophecy came true or now.

@OrangeHarvester Im more or less a pacifist. when it comes to killing masses anyway.

hehe i did but i got no degree

@GitGud Yup, well-intentioned $\neq$ good. :-) My undergraduate advisor was always like don't get so beat up about the courses, you are good at research, study what you like. (That was in electrical engineering though and I think it was good advice for me.)

@JacobBlack You should have.

@OrangeHarvester Even if he's right, you need grades to be able to research...

my memory is insufficient

@GitGud Yes. I have grades, that is not a problem.

All I have to say is "it is never too late."

@JacobBlack No one use wondering, you are only delaying your goal. Just start away right now.

(lol)

(ethanised)

\o/

i ate too much ....

@GitGud My point was, people can be terribly imperceptible when dealing with advise. A good advisor will be very careful to declare his opinion. A bad advisor will be quite brash. The trouble is when you are young and impressionable, you might be affected more by the bad advisor than the good one.

@OrangeHarvester OK!

im not feeling well. bye guys ...

@user58512 Where did you go? I was enjoying your questions.

@mick bye, take care.

@mick Bye.

later

bye

its just exams on the lectures I take

but I don't think I can pass enough exams

Sounds like a lot of memorization.

number theory and group theory

@JacobBlack Chaging "courses" to "girls" makes it so inappropriate to ask.

Unless you're in the bro-circle.

Hopefully a she who likes girls.

How many sides does the bro-circle have?

@skullpatrol Only finitely many bros can fit.

does anybody know how to specify startup files in windows in magma

i didn't take some courses I should have done, and I dropped some others - it isnt going well

It is interesting that this answer got the bounty and 16 upvotes when it uses calculus. Not using calculus is what makes the problem difficult.

yes

thanks

If I pass my exams I definitely can get in, I don't know what happens if I fail

@robjohn When did they start making more negatively voted answers lighter? (and harder to read)

Do you guys know about the book A Mathematician's Survival Guide Graduate School and Early Career Developmen?

@GitGud By Krantz? (if yes, then yes.)

@OrangeHarvester Yeah.

@skullpatrol I don't know. It takes a sizable negative vote to make it lighter, I believe.

@JacobBlack no.

I didn't really mean to ask if you know about it, what I meant was to let people know it exists.

@JacobBlack Krantz is a wonderful teacher and writer!

@robjohn I agree. I loved all his books.

@JacobBlack Hahahahaha. Why?

@OrangeHarvester He was my mentor in undergrad. I took Real and Complex analysis from him and an independent study in Fourier Analysis

bluefm.com.ar/wp-content/themes/blueenvivo

LIsten to that, you fools!

@robjohn Cool! The first time I studied his book was in high school, Techniques of Problem Solving. That was the one which really got me going on math.

@PeterTamaroff Have you composed it?

bluefm.com.ar/wp-content/themes/blueenvivo

@OrangeHarvester It is a radio!!!

Listen!!!

bluefm.com.ar/wp-content/themes/blueenvivo

@PeterTamaroff Ahh, it says additional plugin required.

@OrangeHarvester WHich one?

@OrangeHarvester You can use VLC for chrome, maybe.

I seem to be using that

@PeterTamaroff asf something. It was on firefox.

I will try vlc now.

@PeterTamaroff It seems to be a windows media player plugin.

Bye @Charlie I hope you feel better soon.

@JacobBlack Why do you hate Krantz?

Finally, can playe. Needed an mplayer.

@OrangeHarvester How's it going now?

@skullpatrol bye, Skull!

It is broadcasting amazing jazz.

@PeterTamaroff Yes. I have to agree. Its really good.

@Charlie see you later...

@skullpatrol see you ;)

@Charlie ;-)

@skullpatrol :*

@Charlie :-**

@skullpatrol ;D last one

can somebody tell me something really cool about complex analysis

i need motivation to study

@Charlie ;-D

and this entire discipline is awful.

@AlexanderGruber get a copy of visual complex analysis. If that is not enough, look up a book by Ablowitz and fokas which focuses on application. Complex analysis is terrible useful everywhere.

do you have anything short of reading a book?

like. you know. a cool fact or question or something.

@AlexanderGruber If physics enough motivation? Or fourier transforms?

Or control systems?

Like how a control system is stable, only if the pole of its transfer function lies in the negative x plane.
