Over the past weekend, extreme weather events across the continental United States abounded, from a blizzard and flooding in and around Los Angeles to record high temperatures for February in Florida and other parts of the Southeast.
I am quite lucky that, despite being a double major, I am finished with most of the requirements to receive undergraduate degrees in mathematics and physics after this semester.
Starting this academic year, Stevens has been home to new communities of students with shared aspects of identity or common interests.
This past Tuesday marked another Valentine’s Day, an exciting but also fairly stressful holiday due to the expectations it seems to set on love and relationships.
This weekend, I ended up doing very little substantive work on class assignments or other tasks I had on my to-do list.
My girlfriend got me a copy of Matt Parker’s Humble Pi: When Math Goes Wrong in the Real World as a Christmas gift.
“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is time for home.”
This past Saturday, I hit the submit button on all my applications for Ph.D. programs in mathematics. I ended up applying to five schools, which was narrowed down from the 10 or so schools I had on the shortlist for much of the fall semester.
One of the difficult aspects of mathematics is that it often scales poorly with the complexity of the problem. Math is great when there are relatively few variables and nice functions (for instance, continuous and differentiable functions) involved.
