    Which Professors Should Write My Grad School Recommendation Letters?

    I'm worried about not havin the strongest sources of letters when I am applying to graduate school. I'm wanting to apply in math. I have one math prof that I know can write me a strong one. We have such a small department though, just 3 profs. One professor is so spastic and odd that I'm not...

    Principle of Inclusion and Exclusion problem

    Okay, then you got the same thing I did. I will ask my professor about it tomorrow. Since after you subtract N=400 from both sides then divide through, it comes out to 20.

    Principle of Inclusion and Exclusion problem

    Okay, how did you make the jump from the line starting with N(at least one) to the next line where you have =400-MBEF?

    Homework Statement "A sneaky registrar reports the following information about a group of about 400 students. There are 180 taking a math class, 200 taking an English class, 160 taking a biology class, and 250 in a foreign language class. 80 are enrolled in both math and English, 90 in math and...

    Where I Am Now: Life After Major Turns and Loss of Closest Friend

    My counselor is currently out of town for the holidays... That would be part of the plan. I really felt like I was turning the corner before she messaged me again. That has just sort of reopened the wounds. I can recover again, I would just rather not have had to do that. For now, I'm going to...

    Where I Am Now: Life After Major Turns and Loss of Closest Friend

    I think she just honestly think that on paper things can`t work because I would perfer living in the states and she would rather live overseas doing mission work. I would live overseas with her before I would choose to be without her but she will not let me change my plans for her. The reasons...

    Thanks, I can`t actually change that email, it`s my school email. I ignored even my own wisdom. I went ahead and asked why are you sending this and what did you mean by this. Explained how this is making it harder on me and causing me agony. She apologized and said it was a poorly worded apology...

    Other Should I Become a Mathematician?

    Not DE, there may be some early level proof courses you could look into. I don't know but imagine that would be a tough one to teach yourself though. Is anyone going to the Joint Meeting in Boston this year?

    Oh, a positive note, going to the Joint Mathematics Meeting in Boston here in a few days. Normally our school will pay for upperclassmen to go but the professor in charge of it invited me to come along as well since they had enough funding for one more. I'm prioritizing enjoying that over all...

    Where I Am Now: Life After Major Turns and Loss of Closest Friend

    Honestly, I'm more worried about taking care of everything in my life than I am finding another woman. I couldn't commit my heart to her fully and she would be getting a raw deal. Here is the thing, I said goodbye completely already. I hadn't made any effort to contact her whatsoever. It seems...

    Where I Am Now: Life After Major Turns and Loss of Closest Friend

    I had no intention of getting in contact with her. In fact, all of our mutual friends have heard me say recently, I have done all I can do. The rest is on her, I'm planning on it not happening though. That is what they have heard from me, sure I've said to my friends I still miss her and still...

    Where I Am Now: Life After Major Turns and Loss of Closest Friend

    I received an email from her recently... I was not expecting this at all. "Doug, We were so foolish. I don't want to be fighting, but you must understand that I cannot be in communication right now. I'm such a mess. I never wanted to be fighting with you. Please, give me some space to...

    Where I Am Now: Life After Major Turns and Loss of Closest Friend

    Well it was just a temporary thing so I didn't want to have to go through all of that mess at the time when I still sort of felt like hell from the whole surgery experience. I am already regaining the ability to write again fairly decently (my handwriting is awful to begin with so really only I...

    Where I Am Now: Life After Major Turns and Loss of Closest Friend

    Thank you, some of that advice is really really practical. I have been smoking again here and there. I think the big thing that was preventing me from wanting to quit for so long was I didn't want to do it for me. I now have a motivating factor of proving to myself that I can make changes in my...

    Where I Am Now: Life After Major Turns and Loss of Closest Friend

    I didn't want to do that. I feel like if I later have a positive impact on even a single persons life; I could have thrown that away completely. That is the reason I called, the thought was becoming too real. Here is where everything has gotten to now. Me and my ex had a two hour discussion...
