Yes, I do want a cookie. >_>

And yes, I have no life. I'm considering dropping my math class because we "learned" six new topics today while I'm still trying to learn what we "learned" two weeks ago. Thought I could catch up, don't think so.

And our biochem lab blew up today. Fo cerealz.

[ShinobiIceSlayer]

Poor Hiro!

[hiro]

The math class is the only hard thing about my schedule. If I dropped it I'd have SO MUCH free time.

And the explosion got me out of my afternoon classes, so that was good.

[ShinobiIceSlayer]

So what maths are you failing at?

[hiro]

Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations. In one semester (as in, one class all in one- I'm not failing three classes). The professor got done with LA in three weeks because everyone in the class had already learned the material except me. It wasn't a prerequisite so I thought I'd be learning it, not reviewing it.

[ShinobiIceSlayer]

Ah I see, so what does your Linear Algebra cover?

[hiro]

In these three weeks, we've learned space, subspace, basis, span, dimension, orthogonality, matrices, determinants and inverses of matrices, gradients, partial derivatives, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, Cramer's Rule, Cauchy-Schwartz, and so on.

Or we were supposed to. I've only managed to pick up a few of them. >_>

[ShinobiIceSlayer]

Lucky you.

[hiro]

I don't see how failing a class makes me lucky.

[ShinobiIceSlayer]

I gotta do a bunch of that near the end of this semester, all the linear algerbra stuff.

[hiro]

Unlike me, however, I'm assuming you're at least familiar with the concepts. >_>

That or I'm guessing you'll take it slower.

[ShinobiIceSlayer]

Probably both, I did a few of them last semester, but I think it will still be over 2-3 weeks.

[hiro]

The only knowledge I had entering the class was what a vector was. Not a great intro. >_>

[ShinobiIceSlayer]

Probably pretty similar to me, I hadn't even done Matrices before then.
