wtf
it's 9
are you dying or something
did GTA4 finish
@Huy try to log into the social club in GTA4
Huy
Huy
yeah hours ago
no I'm not dying but I'm sick and I intend to be healthy again asap
so I don't have to sit around in my flat all day and do nothing
I have tons of stuff to prepare for my high schoolers and I cba when I've got a headache
fuck your high schoolers
i've been really profane lately
I like it
Huy
Huy
they're the reason I get paid
cant log into social club and that weird fix makes gta4 not launch at all
how do you not have CSGO
it's like on every single steam sale
@Huy what are you teaching them?
Huy
Huy
I'm finishing integration, and after that I have to teach probability and statistics
and I hate statistics
so I want to prepare as much of it as possible now
so I don't have to bother with it too much then
after that comes complex numbers, and then differential equations
so at least two fun topics remaining
19:16
cool
Huy
Huy
I really wanna do Markov chains so they can apply diagonalization
but idk if time allows
if not I guess I'll just show them how to solve ODEs with it
Sound like a gifted group.
Huy
Huy
not really
if they were we'd already be done doing Markov chains
they're a really cool group, but unfortunately only one is actually somewhat good at maths
Huy
Huy
three girls try really hard
the rest doesn't really care about maths
at the high school you can either focus on maths/physics or biology chemisty
they're chemistry/biology people
most of those don't care too much about maths and just hope to not be too bad in it
19:20
Oh no, you got the memorizers :-)
Huy
Huy
pretty much
but it's still better than students from a school focusing on languages, law, ec or something of the like
those really don't care at all
@Huy once again
I'm below average
Huy
Huy
y
?
I would consider that gifted
Huy
Huy
you should join my class then
you would be one of the youngest
19:22
no because it's probably too hard
Huy
Huy
nah I'm just doing basics
we're just doing some volume computations with integrals now
and maybe lengths of curves
and then we're off to some probability
Any textbook?
Huy
Huy
I try to document what I do in LaTeX for future reference
but it's in German
@Huy dude I can't even set theory
Huy
Huy
I don't know if they can
19:32
and people say I'm good math
it's pretty sad
Huy
Huy
I'm not particularly good at set theory either
19:45
@0celo7 your English is falling apart :P
19:55
@skillpatrol what
nvm
Da raiders are losing again
in English Language & Usage, 1 hour ago, by skill patrol
13 years is a long time to wait for two wins in a row
:(
Huy
Huy
20:20
I'm off to bed
gn8 all
Later pal
what wrong with my English
Come to the EL&U room and I'll show you :P
Jim
Jim

Okay, I'm tutoring a 3rd year student in electrostatics tomorrow and I've come upon a problem his prof gave him that seems terrible to me. I think it might be a mistake on the part of the prof, because I don't think it is 3rd year appropriate
Here's the rundown of it
two concentric grounded conducting shells, radii a and b, b>a
in between them is a volume charge density given by a function $\rho(r)$
find the potential in all 3 distinct regions of space
The inner and outer spaces are trivial
But the middle space seems too complicated for basic 3rd year. Or am I wrong?
21:38
@skillpatrol link
help JD
how do I learn physics
@Jim 3rd year undergraduate? The answer being in terms of an integral?
Calculate E with gauss law, integrate! Ok so double integral
Jim
Jim
@NeuroFuzzy Yeah, okay. I guess I expect too little of them
22:06
@Jim yeah seems totally acceptable to me (fourth year undergraduate)
22:32
but you're smart
some of us aren't :/
