Calc III Final Results
Well my grades came in and all my hard work and half-assed sifting has finally paid off. I achieved both my goals of an A and the top grade in the class. I scored a 100.4% on my final after the curve which means the final was curved beyond what I scored. I'm glad I worked so hard on this class. I wish I had the ability to go to school full time, but with Gen going to nursing school I will be the main bread winner for at least another year. I'll continue to do 1 or 2 classes each semester until she's out. Then it's her turn to support me while I go full-bore into school...if I don't piss her off too much in the mean time.
Oh and I want you all to know that while I achieved my goals, my drinking never subsided. You can be an alcoholic and a success.

gwiz665100.4? Is that like A+++?
Congrats.
RedSkyGrats, what topics are you covering?
4th year maths/economics undergrad here.

. I commend anybody doing a math major. I want to do engineering so these math skills will be necessary but I'll probably stop pursuing math once discrete mathematics comes into play.

Calc III was vector calculus. We dealt with a lot of calc in 3 dimensions: solids, surface areas, flux, gradients and planes. It was really just calc 1 and 2 projected into E3
RedSkyFair enough, yeah I found it surprising how much more difficult it became when we started looking at PDEs. You'd think the step up from 2 to 3 dimensions would be relatively simple but no ...
Anyway, doing an advanced maths modelling unit at the moment with ODE/PDEs where we model stuff like the diffusion, advection and chemotaxis effects of a cell density in time and space. In fact I should be studying up on an exam for it right now
moodoniaHey Rottenseed Congratulations!
That some pretty severe stuff your doing (which I wont pretend to understand) you should be proud, especially if your working. I too am trying to work and do a degree and its kicking my little butt. Currently waiting to hear how badly I failed my physics class by... Repeats in August, fingers crossed!
Have a nice drinkie to celebrate!
