An Overview of Note-Taking Styles

Note-taking is one of the most essential skills a student should master. It allows you to record and review information to be used in the future. But what’s the best way to do so? Here’s an overview of note-taking styles that can help you maximize your learning!

If you want to rizz up a mathematician, just tell them that they "proved love at first sight exists by giving an explicite example".

I remember putting it in my bio a while ago that I dream of doing actual research one day. well this is already happening, as I mentioned in some post, my advisor found an open question for me to write my thesis about

the progress for now is that I'm done with most of the reading I need to do to tackle it and I'm slowly moving forward with thinking of ideas for the solution (or at least a partial one)

this is what I want to do for the rest of my life: reading papers and trying to write my own ones

ofc I don't know if I manage to solve the problem or achieve anything at all with it but the process itself is fun

other than that I've been catching up with homeworks and assignments from work. fortunately I found an MIT lecture recordings for statistics so hopefully I might not die from boredom

watching probability and stats lectures from MIT has been my relationship's idea of netflix and chill for a while now, gotta cultivate the tradition

the algtop professor asked us to write down a full detailed solution for an exercises we did in class, because the person presenting was unable to explain it so I sent him mine

I don't know yet if it's correct but I'm pretty sure it is. I wrote this down partly because who doesn't want extra points and partly because I didn't have a chance to present it, the person who did was faster

I like how my life is right now, I want to keep it that way

Thank you, /r/ProgrammerHumor, I love you endlessly.

Russian (pretty good cyrillic guide!)

also a funny thing is happening

my title here on tumblr is "you can't comb a hairy ball" – hairy ball theorem, which says that whenever an n-dimensional sphere admits a continuous field of unit tangent vectors, n must be odd. I love how geometric this is, math is full of memes

anyway when I found out about it I was joking that my thesis will be on it. and now it's actually very likely that my first thesis will be about hairy manifolds, I can't wait till I can start writing

I have a topology test this friday, not gonna lie I'm kinda stressed. this is my favourite subject and I am dedicating a great deal of time to learn it so if I get a low grade it undermines the efficiency of my work. everyone thinks I'm an "expert", but internally I feel like I lied to them. it's ridiculous, because I can solve all the theoretical problems fairly well but the moment I have to calculate something for a specific example of a space I am clueless. and it's about applying theory to problems, right? so what is it worth

other than that tomorrow is a participation round in the integral competition at my university. I am participating. I don't have any high hopes for this, because it's been a while since I practiced integration and I am not motivated to do so because it's not an important skill – wolfram exists. either way could be fun, that's why I decided to go there

I am dreading the fact that I'll have to sit down and learn all the material from the probability theory until the exams. I've been ignoring it completely so far, because it's boring and complicated. the last homework broke me, it's high time to get my shit together

Lagrange Markipliers or something idk I forgot all my multivariable calc.

i've been working on it with my boyfriend for a while now and–
