Waiting for my 8 AM class

[Captain Jordan]

It's not for another hour and a half, and I woke up an hour ago. I've already had one cup of tea, and I may make another before I leave, and I still don't think I'll be awake by class time. *sigh*

I'm just not a morning person, especially when it comes to math-based classes.

[Meth Quokka]

You could try preparing for the class :p

[Captain Jordan]

What's to prepare? The prof is an 80-year-old guy who gives us his lecture notes, which are transposed straight from the book. He follows the notes faithfully, delivering the same lecture he's given for the past twenty years. The notes we take in class are clarifications or answers to questions in the notes.

That's it.

No thought required, just pure logic. Spock would ace this class.

[Meth Quokka]

Right, fair enough.

I guess it's not too complicated maths then? Or does maths just come to you naturally?

[Captain Jordan]

It's logic, but there's an element of mathematics in it. The class is a Computer Science Theory course, so it's mostly proofs-based. For example: If x and y are odd, then x-y is even; prove or disprove.

I'm just not a morning person is all. Can't seem to sleep past 5:30 for these days, but I'm still not awake until 10 AM anyway.

My 8 Am is Philosophy. I know your pain.

Wanna trade? I'd probably find philosophy fascinating compared to this.

And you....you could sleep longer. :P

[Meth Quokka]

Ah right fair enough. I was thinking like the maths I've been doing for my engineering degree :p

I always used to pass my early mornings with study and coffee

[Demensia]

I have no school. I don't understand your pain in the slightest.

I've finish most of the true math courses. Took Linear Algebra last semester, and the Calc courses in previous years. Is that what you're talking about?

Oh, and no need for DiffEq for Computer Science majors here. :D

I'd guess that'd be close...

Stuff like Riemann Sums, various vector forms, complex differentiation and integration, fourier series etc. Lots of fun fun fun stuff.

I've done everything except for complex differentiation and fourier series.

Fourier Series are a bitch.
