<p>I live on the bottom of the hill. I went to Palos Verdes Peninsula High School. Where do you live Nikkei. And yes I have been called a baller before, I only bring out the pimp cane for specials occasions though.</p>
<p>i cannot wait till spring break. no big plans… going to vancouver to visit family. and sleeping a lot and NOT doing calculus OR discrete math OR ethics OR public speaking OR c++… phew. cannot wait. but after that its another hellish quarter.</p>
<p>what i keep in mind is that once spring quarter starts, itll be 3 weeks until (most likely & hopefully) i’ll here from all the UC’s.</p>
<p>& i still remember counting down 30 days till march 15th… time’s flying by & it’s getting close!</p>
<p>Hey I was just wondering of an opinion from you guys. I don’t want to spark an argument or anything but…</p>
<p>Do you think it’s easier to get into UCLA Tap Certified or UCSD regular decision…?</p>
<p>The reason I ask is because my roomate (that goes to UCSD) said he would get a tattoo of “UCLA” on his back if I got into LA, and I told him I might have a better shot at LA than SD…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Amen. I’m getting sick of that class.</p>
<p>im getting sick of calc 2 but i’m sure its not as bad as discrete math</p>
<p>calc 2 sucked balls. </p>
<p>its way harder than calc 3.</p>
<p>hey guys i was just wondering…for the ucla date, do all transfers get their decisions then or is it like the other schools where it slowly pours in for a few weeks?</p>
<p>Cal and UCLA better release them all at once! I’m so sick of this waiting game.</p>
<p>from what i understand CAL releases them all at once on May1st at 5pm … which , probably is going to cause their server to crash … which in return will require for us to wait another 24-48 hour period for them to get the servers back up.</p>
<p>
Hmmm maybe, but there will way less applicants checking at that time since freshmen will know by March 30th.</p>
<p>Edit: We could always check last year’s thread and see if anyone reported trouble logging in…</p>
<p>i wouldn’t mind waiting 2 days after may 1st… as long as we get the decision sometime around may1st… </p>
<p>i just hate other uc’s for giving us such a long time slot for waiting. i think it’d be less nerve wrecking for me to just know the exact week that i am supposed to get my decision… even if that week is 1 month from now. </p>
<p>i guess i could resist the temptation and not check for the next 30 days. but in reality that’s never going to happen.</p>
<p>and yeah whats up w/ discrete math… jesus i thought it would be easy w/ its precalc prereq. but its actually tougher than my 3rd quarter calculus… the calculus class would be an okay class if it weren’t for taylor series/fourier polynomials… multivariable calc is like 1st quarter calc except w/ pretty pictures.</p>
<p>ahahhaah luba, i don’t think multivariable calculus is NOT any easy comparing to other lower division math course… I finished the course in which my professors spent 1/3 of the time doing proofs. May be you think proofs are easy but for most ppl in the class and I think proofs are hard!</p>
<p>omg… i just got murdered by finals.</p>
<p>My discrete math teacher is huuuge on proofs; they’re about 2/3 of what’s on the test. I hate hate hate proofs. Especially proofs by induction.</p>
<p>oh… my bad…mistyped “i don’t think multivariable calculus is NOT any easy comparing to other lower division math course” (the “NOT” should be deleted)</p>
<p>in my CC the preq for Discrete is Calc 2, … Calc 2 is the preq for discrete, linear and calc3. … and your right about calc 3 being very similar to calc 1, however it is a bit harder and in my class its A LOT Of physics problems, which sucks b/c most of the class is physics/engineering majors, and i am not one of them.</p>
<p>from what i can recall, proof aren’t really part of our multivariable curriculum… discrete math, on the other hand, is nothing but proofs. ugh. so tough. i’m actually pretty good at proof by induction… its the probability and counting thats always kills me. well… to each their own.</p>
<p>yeah i have a problem with the physics aswell. and being an econ major doesn’t really help. eh. almost done though. last quiz tomorrow & final next week.</p>
<p>then its onto math 1d (last calculus), math 2a & 2b (linear algebra & differential eq.) and intro to bio (damn igetc)</p>
<p>awww… In my school, particular starting multivariable calculus, the math professors almost always focus on proofs for they say that they want to prepare the students to handle the upper division courses so they let us expose to proofs and man, and right now in my differential equation course, the professor’s lecture is 80% proofs for not only the theorems in the books but also other related theorems such as function space, complex function, operation spaces… </p>
<p>I am struggling so much in my differential course right now… 
we have quiz on the lecture at the end of the class in almost every meeting; we have Oral Exam as well; we have regular test where 1/3 of the questions are proofs (the first test average score was around 60%); we also have research; and we have tons of homework and we are expected to know how to study the book independently since he mostly show us proofs and theorems on the lectures… </p>
<p>No wonder about 11 students are remaining right now (we started with 28 students). Almost all of the students who stay got many A in calculus courses and are math or engineering majors but none of us got higher than a B on the first test. Ironic!</p>
