      The worst is when one of the two questions is an open problem.

      Time: 2 weeks, take home

      Questions: 1, multiple parts. Open textbook, internet, collaboration with classmates, anything really.

      Good luck

        I had a physics exam a couple weeks ago. 4 questions. I got full points on only one of them.

    Its funny bc physics gets so much worse than that

      I remember taking the upper level thermo courses for my undergraduate. Through the semester, they introduced a handful of equations for specific scenarios. Then the final was like 4 questions in 3 hours and with the equation for Gibbs Free Energy.

      Needless to say, not my best grade

      Which equation hurt you? Schrodinger’s?

      source
      • sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Lowkey, just differential equations made me want to kms. Shrodingers equation was bad but not so difficult as to be singularly memorable. My memory of my physics courses are a void and I switched my major.

    Isaac Asimov joke.

    Back in the day, the astronomy professor goes to the college dean to ask for money for a new observatory.

    The Dean blows up at him!

    "You science people are always asking for money! Chemistry wants gold! Physics wants a dyanmo! Why can’t you be like the math department? All they ever want is paper, pencils and erasers!

    “And the philosophy department is even better. They don’t need erasers!”

    I don’t work in mathematics but my work strays into another STEM field, but every now and then I watch this short clip of Sir Andrew Wiles and think “fuck me, maybe it is achievable”.

    Absolute legend, that man.

    • someacnt@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Makes me think maybe I shouldn’t have chosen math, I am not even 1% as smart as Andrew Wiles

      source
      • davidagain@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        To be fair, Andrew Wiles solved a problem that had stood unsolved for over 350 years. The best mathematicians in every generation since the mid 1600s could say the same thing as you! Should they not have picked math?

    when the prof doesn’t allow a formula sheet on the exam and it’s worth 50% of your final grade

      We never had formula sheets lok

        Why, do they stop working after the class is over?

        That’s just stupid. It’s far more important to know how and when to use the formulas instead of memorizing them

    Thank you. I finally have something to show other so they can understand what I feel when I say “Math and I…have an abusive relationship.”

        Some guys say all particles are also waves, then some other guys says even feilds are just particles exchanging but then someone banged two protons together so hard and say theese particles are also emergent from some other feilds

        We need to make a big bang to know if thoose feilds are also particles…
