She/her in STEM, so I had pronouns before people got offended by them. Also on Ancient Elephant Multi-Site.

Thesis status, cleaned up for the pro feed: everything is FREAKING named after Cartan

By learning the connections between problem structure and strategy, you set yourself up to be able to adapt strategies to new problems.

Hello mathematicians, puzzlers, and other curious people!

It's just about #BackToSchool time, so I'll be posting study advice, based on my experience as a teacher and student. Repost to help your followers and follow to make sure you don't miss any.

Calc You Later!

If you're over-relying on imitation of examples, you're not building toward being an independent puzzler.

Sometimes your day will go haywire -- reschedule your study appointments when this happens.

Use the 2:1 ratio to know how much to study: 2 hours studying for each lecture hour.

@Quasilocal Making an inaccurate statement in lecture that the students are supposed to catch is well-accepted.

I'm trying to decide whether the difference in stakes here outweighs the fact that students had to go looking for this set of what turned out to be inaccurate statements.

[MathWithAvrila @MathWithAvrila]

@Quasilocal To the students affected, I would say "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" bc by using the cheat notes they consented to being burned by a classmate who was clueless or doing curve manipulation, and this is the same effect.

More abstractly...yeah, it's thornier than that.

Developing an application problem activity on eigenvectors/values in population modeling is just like working on my thesis, right?

Based on the data collected, my tennis ball will reach orbit by tomorrow

@kimdayers It's in there, but it's one of the less interesting kinds (though still important as a step, and finding your own shortcuts can be good motivation for learning about proof).
