@BalarkaSen Remeber I was telling you of meeting an ISI M Math interview guy who admitted that he had no fucking idea of compactness ? Well now that results are out I have seriously no fucking idea (I remember he telling to someone near me after the interview that he couldn't even prove that if a, b are nilpotent then a+b need not to be nilpotent even after crapload of hints and time) how he got selected in M Math that too with a single digit rank...

Prove in $\mathbb{R}^n$ there can be atmax $2^n$ points no three of which determines an obtuse angle

Here's a fun little puzzle:

@SubhasisBiswas Um I read the news, but I don't see why someone in class 10 would suicide for ISI admission which happens after class 12 ?
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 16:03
yup, exactly
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:59
how do you get motivated to do math again ?
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:58
oh cool, thanks. Do you sometimes feel depressed/temporarily uninterested in math when you're stuck on a problem for a long time without any progress ?
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:54
any advice for how to utilize it (i.e how to eke out time to do maths) ? I'm very bad in utilizing time and I get distracted easily online (on hangouts/MSE chat/FB etc)
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:52
@BalarkaSen so they "enjoy college life" by spending time on facebook/silly jokes/watching movies ?
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:52
btw how much time you have on a week on average for self study (ie excluding the curriculum work which everyone else has to follow) ? ISI course structure seemed pretty rigid in general
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:50
Do the 90% jobphile dudes talks about placements all the time (like IIT) or sometime does math in spare time too (outside say assignments) ?
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:49
I guessed it would be bad but I didn't think it's this much fucked up
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:48
Oh and there was a guy from Calcutta university who came to give MMath interview. He himself admitted he had no clue even about compactness... I wonder how he got selected...
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:46
they have no plans to do m.math/grad studies ?
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:46
@BalarkaSen ehhh ? 90% ? seriously ?
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:45
who regularly fucks up students
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:45
in CMI there's a professor
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:45
Are any of your ISI B peers interested in jobs more than maths ? I heard people joining ISI K now a days for jobs ...

Jun 23, 2019 15:43
obviously needless to say those are shit, gomutra research is luv and lyf

cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:42
what's the draft about ?
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:41
@BalarkaSen all over India or only in ISI/CMI ?
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:41
the CMI people with whom I interacted seemed smart...
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:40
even isi/cmi sucks ? They were the top two choices for me in India (I dind't bother with JEE shit)
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:39
though most of my friends are going to cmi :/
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:39
like CMI is too smal
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:39
i also visited CMI (not CMU); idk how the coursework differs but I like the campus of ISI B much more than CMI

Oh and what happens in that round place near the jungle with lots of benches under a shade ? You guys sit and do maths ?
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:32
Where the classes happens ? In the same building where the interview was held ?
cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:30
Weird that the library don't have any AC. Is the library open 24x7 ?

cdt
Jun 23, 2019 15:25

cdt

Yup, Im

Jun 15, 2019 08:03
i dont think a closed form exists
cdt
Jun 15, 2019 08:02
i.e is it used in proving some cool theorems
cdt
Jun 15, 2019 08:01
It's well knonw that there's a universal holomorphic function $f$ such that for any other holomorphic function $h$ there's a sequence $\{ N_i \}$ of positive integer such that $f(z+N_k) - h(z)$ goes to zero unifromly on any compact subset of $\mathbb{C}$. Is this universal function useful anywhere ?
