@Theorem are you from germany ?

@Alex i know someone who studies in Bonn

@DominicMichaelis : nope .

@AlexYoucis : i am quite sad with my situation .

@Theorem Don't be too bummed out man. You'll be amazed at what you'll be able to do. Just apply to a lot of schools--someone will take you.

@AlexYoucis : are you sure ? if they see D grade , they will throw my application .

:P

@Theorem What are you doing?

@Theorem I have never gotten a D, but I have gotten two Cs.

@AlexYoucis It is sad that people think intelligence is measured by grades. I mean, sure, it reflects certain good qualities, but give it a rest.

@PeterTamaroff : wondering if i can get at least in some graduate school .

@Theorem What is a "graduate school"? It is a school to get a MSc or PhD?

@PeterTamaroff And GREs

@AlexYoucis Graduate Research E_____?

@AlexYoucis : graduate in american sense.

@PeterTamaroff ; graduate in american sense .

@Theorem Uh?

@AlexYoucis : what do students do , they they have D grade but want to do Phd ? do u think there is a way ?

@PeterTamaroff Grad Record Exams. It's the grad school version of SATs

@Theorem yes, I do. As long as it's not in math classes.

@JasperLoy Says you haha

@AlexYoucis : i have exactly that problem , in math classes i have bad grade . but i want to do maths :P

@Theorem If you're getting Ds in math classes, that might be a hard sell then. Once again, I'd talk to your math advisors who will surely have more useful advice than I.

did he just solve the basel problem math.stackexchange.com/a/325883/58512 ??

@JasperLoy Define simple? I'm not good at doing timed calc computations.

@AlexYoucis IIRC, SATs are not great indicators of academic performance.

@PeterTamaroff THey aren't Neither are the GREs

@JasperLoy Whutevs.

@JasperLoy I just killed the Maryland algebra and analysis qual which are harder than the Berkeley prelims (because they are quals and not prelims) and I still am not very good at GREs.

@user58512 so many calculation, i think i am to lazy to check i will believe it for now :D

@JasperLoy They're not hard just very annoying. they are like the SATs--they are studyable tests. There will be kids who study for the GREs for like 6 months before the exam and get 890 and there will be smart kids who don't study at all who get like 780. On paper, at first glance, the first person is better, but only because they studied more.

@JasperLoy What level are you?

@JasperLoy

HHAHAHA

why not zoidberg?

Zev is addicted to MSE, so installed "StayFocusd" to stop him going on it too much... then started using IE to get past it

hello guys..

@anon Dawg.

could any one of you pls help in explaning "expected value of a random variable"

here's the link to my question math.stackexchange.com/questions/325895/…. pls somebody help me.

my bbounty ends tommorow math.stackexchange.com/questions/317081/…

I wonder if I should give it to one of the answer 9even though neither really helps me)

hi

hello

@Petertamaroff hello

@PeterTamaroff

Perhaps he isn't online.
