No I finished that class it was not particularly enjoyable but he gave us a 17 question takehome exam so I guess I learned all of complex analysis just from doing that Has its uses, I suppose. I am majoring in math, going into my final year of undergrad, and will be going to grad school in 2021, hopefully for a PhD in math. My interest is in applied math, particularly in using advanced pure math techniques in modelling situations. I also am interested in statistics and computer science and will hopefully bulk on those in grad school.
The only weird idea I have like that is to get a PDF or spreadsheet of all the types of bricks, then number them and number my bags accordingly so I have everything in order as it relates to a sort of catalog
I think MLN was dying out even in 2010 when I played? It was kind of terrible so I don't think a whole lot of people really went through all the ranks in the first place.
And that depends on the school and the major. For most of the Ivy League math programs, I think they just have PhD, so I'd be applying to them for PhD then to other schools for masters as a backup. I think at most schools if you're doing well in the masters program you can apply to PhD and will usually get accepted. At my current university, which does not have an exceedingly high ranked math program (I did not matriculate here for math ) I think you're basically guaranteed a spot in the masters program if you did undergrad there. I might be able to get advanced credits I did in undergrad to roll over to a masters program and also qualify for no tuition due to my undergrad GPA, so if I get rejected from the PhDs I apply to that might be my most economical option. However, I really want to go to another school
That's not a bad idea, really. But it's often hard to determine what's bad and what's good, as I would like to be able to use a variety of weird pieces in my builds.

That's not a bad way to do it. It's like the hardware store where they have catalogs of screws, nuts, and bolts.
Hmm. Interesting. Me and my friend played MLN for a few weeks before we started getting busy with other things. Even then, we used a guide to get us through. I suppose MLN was more like a puzzle game than a network.
Ah, I see. That makes a lot of sense. I hope your plan for a PhD goes well, or whatever plan you have if PhD doesn't work out. It'll be nice to go to a different school for the Masters or PhD program. I also went to a different school since I didn't want to stay in my old college anymore.
Right. A lot of creativity can come from different kinds of pieces. I have a lot of my Bionicle pieces in one place since I don't build much Bionicle-like models (and since I don't have much Bionicle pieces anyway)
Yes, but I think it would be just easier for me to memorize the general location of everything if I group by piece type, as I'm fairly certain no such list exists already.
The thing is, you had to interact with a lot of people to get the required items on MLN, and since most of the users were inactive it was often difficult. I remember it took me a month to actually get someone to accept my friend request on there No idea why I didn't give up.
I'm pretty tired of my current university so it'll be a welcome change
I have a lot of Bionicle, it was really the first LEGO theme I got heavily into, and I was able to pick up a lot more at the flea market over the years, so I have some decent early 2000s stuff in addition to the 2007-2008 stuff I played with as a kid. However, I'm uncertain how to sort it and if it's relevant to my current building aspirations, so I just put it all in a big tub and stored it away in my attic. I have a few of my favorite Bionicles here still though, I like the one that rolls into a ball, that has to be like from 2003 I guess.
I'm worried I might be going down the rabbithole here but I'll learn something for sure. I have a tiny breadboard, if this goes well I may have to upgrade.

Lol. Sometimes electrical engineering can trap you in when you're trying so many options of fixing something. Maybe you'll learn how to make PCBs or something.
Yeah, I hear my EE friends complain about it all the time Circuit boards aren't really my thing but who knows where I'll end up I might apply to a data science program through my university this summer, however, so that would unfortunately limit the time for hobbies.
Ah I see. So it's more like percentiles vs your own score. We get ranked too in our classes in 12th grade, but it's by GPA, so... (which is not really a measurable thing because someone with a high ACT or SAT score and a lot of advanced classes could have a lower GPA than a person with easy "dumb" classes and lower test scores). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I see. Well in essence, it doesn't really matter what subjects you do, as long as it's per-tertiary (level 3 or 4) than it counts towards your ATAR, and you need to do five of those.
It's kind of similar here to what you're saying... You could do level 3's that are really easy, and get a higher ATAR than someone who did a bunch of tough level 4s, and hence have higher admission. However, university subjects will require a lot of per-requisites, and the harder subjects are per-requesites (the easier ones are not). So, it works. There's no cheating the system, or getting unfairly ranked. It's just you against everyone else.
Wow... I wonder how many students would do better if we had a similar system.
What you have to do sounds like what I have to do to get the highest scholarship at the college I want to go to. I have to take 4 honors classes and have a high ACT score, etc. Ah yeah, I'm trying to take some of my needed prerequisites for my planned major right now in my college classes.
And I thought the Russian grading system was weird.
I don't know the Russian grading system, but it already sounds weird. But I agree, how in the world can a C be 45% or something?
Or are you talking about my grading system, and not the Australian one? My family's grading system is basically everything under 90% is a fail.
The Russian grading system is just weird in that they grade by numbers(5,4,3,2,0--yes and not 1) letters(A,B,C,D,F), so really it's not weird at all.
I was talking about the Australian one. My family grading system varies from child to child. As the oldest child, mine is pretty much the same as yours. xD
You put a bomb in my house! No, I will not uncuff you! Partially because of the bomb but also because I don't know how to use lock picks.

Well, she was at my house and I ate some soup, after which I discovered she had stolen my silverware. I attempted to break her silverware-stealing habit by forcing her to watch while I washed the silverware. She handcuffed herself so she couldn't steal anything, but she swallowed the key, so we had to go find her lock picks, which she had hidden in a secret room, accessible only through the basement, which she had hidden in my attic. Arriving there, where she apparently lives, she told me the lock picks were in the safe in the room, which is rigged to explode if a thief tries to open it. And that about brings you up to speed. Why do you ask?

Oh please unlock me! I can't stand chains and cages!!! Please! The bomb won't hurt you, most likely. You just stick it into the lock mechanism and twist it around until you hear a click and they come off. please.
Fine. I'll try. But it's still a bomb! In my house! *Starts fiddling with lock.*
