Truth.

My city has 3 million in the city proper and over double that in the surrounding area.

Perhaps have a cottage?  Give me a break...



That's great that you don't desire to live in close proximity to the city core but I do.  And I would also like to have a cottage.  I love being able to step outside and be in walking distance of top notch restaurants of 10+ different styles of cuisine.  I can walk to a stand-up comedy show, my favourite jazz venue, or to a world renown music hall that brings in the best acts from all over the globe.

Are those things strictly necessary?  Certainly not.  But they are awesome and the demand for them is high because people enjoy these experiences.  That is why the cost of living is high.  Not to mention that the high paying jobs are around here and I don't want to spend 2+ hours of my life every day commuting to and from work.

What was the last math course you took?




Why not? My friend managed doing this just fine.

He borrowed my uni maths books that I used when studying chemistry.

He asked me a couple of questions each chapter but other than that he was fine.

With dedication it is not so hard to do.

in my city the crime rate is much much higher in the "nicer areas" compared to the ghettos/

more car theft, more robbery, and more crime in general.. is mostly in the rich neighborhoods

"City" has multiple definitions. And some of them are defined by fewer than 1,000 residents. :thewarden:

And considering I live in Kansas "In Oregon, Kansas, Kentucky, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Iowa, all incorporated municipalities are cities."

Eventually the insanely inflated prices for land will go away. :shrug: Like I said, I hate high populations. I'd rather just sit at home, crowds make my social anxiety sky-rocket (unless it's just a huge class).

I think that's my favorite thing about my Calc Classes though, the 300 person lecture halls mean I never have to talk to anyone.

rich people are not immune to crime, in fact they are more susceptible. this is obvious by reading the statistics

I wouldn't be surprised if this were true.  Rich people have more to be taken.  If you are going to rob someone why break into a poor person's house that likely has very few valuables when you can break into a rich person's house and steal thousands of dollars of jewellery and electronics.

I already listed several of the great amenities you get living in a big city.  Once again, it's great that you don't want them, but you have to pay to play.  If you want the amenities of the city, which I and many other people do, you have to pay the higher cost of living.

Our Calc books have the same title. :lol:

Thanks for reminding me to do a few more sections for Calc II. I have exactly a week left before the beginning of the new semester.

I'm extremely prepared for this semester to rape my mind with Engineering Physics I and Biochemistry (and easy mode Stats). Toooooo muuuuuch maaaaaath.

god, i wish i had gotten my book while i was still on break so i could start working on it. i only had two weeks off, though, and by the time i knew what textbooks i needed, i was already a week in to my break. finally got this beast on Saturday.

i do not want to carry it around twice a week! not that and all the other shit i have to bring with me. bleh.

Yea, I won't be getting my books for my other courses until a week after classes begin.  Having them around to read up on would help a lot.

I'm also lucky because my math department archives all their syllabi so I know what sections I should even be looking at, I wish more courses made their old syllabi available. Engineering physics is going to be my first physics course ever and I'm all like "da fuq am i doing"?

I don't know if you will be taking Calc II and Calc III, but hopefully you will get to use the same book for those courses. That is how it is for me.

I took my last final December 14th, and classes don't start again until January 21st. My college has a freakishly long winter break (with no winter courses either).

I hated engineering physics. I got a B in the class, but it didn't help when you were taught basic mechanics by a russian professor that specializes in semi-conductors.

Physics II this semester, and statics and dynamics next fall. Physics, ughhh

Luckily E.P. I and II are all the physics I'll need. Do you think someone with 0 physics experiance at all will be fucked in the course?

I've had to learn a few units already because of chemistry courses, but some things people just assume I know and I'm like "dude wut"?

Judging by my Statistics online webpage the prof takes it seriously.

It depends how good you are at math and physics :shrug:.  If you do not have good math/physics intuition you are probably fucked.
