No way, Mr. Meteorology Grad Student! I need to study the things that are furry on the outside and goopy on the inside, not the things that are fluffy and white or gray! :-)

But I'm only in one class this semester. ;-) My First Homework Assignment (http://www.math.purdue.edu/~stefanov/523/hw1.pdf) - I've finished one of the seven problems so far, and keep getting stuck on the rest. Looks like I'll be going to the prof's office hours tomorrow.

Wow, it is the suck. I don't NEED any math, la-laaa, la-laaa! (Well, beyond calculus and statistics. All those differential equations and God knows what else I studied and can't remember a bit? GONE!)

This is the first math class I've been in with primarily math majors. In fact, it's used for the PhD math student qualifying exam. I don't want to do proofs. Just show me the solution techniques!

Anyway, I hope you don't get too bored in the physics and chem classes, and enjoy your first quarter back. It was only a couple of years ago for me, but I already feel like it was a loooong time ago. :-)

I react oddly to physics problems

That homework set has gotten me all hot and bothered. Ah, the memories!

You mean you were able to write your name? :-)

I'm both really glad that I'm not taking your class, and kind of sad that I don't know how to answer these questions.

Touche'. :-)

So far, with much digging and some talking to the prof, I've gotten half the assignment done. #s 2, 4, 6, and the first half of 7. Even after talking to the prof, I'm not quite sure about the other half of the assignment.
