U-can-tell-BOLIVIA-that-i-am-taking-calc-3-this-summer-for-credit--its-online-but-exams-in-person
i just woke up after my bros wedding earlier this month and decided, u know, lets do it, lets take calc 3 over the summer
make dua for me, i want a really good grade
i took out like 6 calc books from the public library to review etc.
8 weeks of class & studying, inshaAllah i will get a good grade
its just a huge secret
im just obsessed, i want to know more math
in the end, i can read papers about backpropagation, im so excited
i was telling my brother and SIL, like u owe it to urself in ur life to attack and work on ur insecurities, whatever they are, that are holding u back from ur best self, then we went to a comedy show and somebody asked a question about aliens from the audience and im like WTF ppl are so dumb, im def registering for that class so i did
im busy this week ttyl just on vacation leaving in a few hrs
me to myself a couple of days ago "ehhhh u know what there's a small chance, like 1% chance i wont be able to log in to my student account if im out of the country, prolly not gonna happen" -> literally 100% thats what happened, i asked my brother if he has a pc i can remote in to & he does but vpn from buffalo worked :|
"HW=30%, Quizzes=10% Exams=60%""; no quiz/exam this week, 1st hw is due 7/6 @ midnight & i cant see it yet its not open but i'll just feed the syllabus into claude and do things with it
i have to email the help desk apparently and tell them im out of the country so they can allow me to log into canvas for a week, OK I WILL DO THAT -_-
yo claude/chatgpt are like calc 3 office hours 24/7, unbiased, UNBIASED, no question is too small or too big, i want to learn how to plot things in 3D in jupyter or julia w/e for my own knowledge
apparently i can incorporate notebooklm into things via claude into my server and then i read something where when u upload ur notes, theres a way to make claude summarize them etc, i dunno, i just need to do problems
my brother gave me a umd windows pc to remote into :))
ok first week is medium-difficult-ish but do-able, dot & cross products, stuff from linear algebra i have (or get to) to review, i thought we would start at double integrals but not yet. the textbook uses examples from physics which is good i like physics.
calc 3, even tho the first week is linear algebra-ish review, its like the text/words in the book -> my immediate imagination i dunno, once its there then it makes sense, but i can keep asking claude to explain it to be simplier so i dont have to memorize really i dunno, rn i feel like my frustration/embarrassment is like, holy sht i forgot some of this stuff but its like duh, i havent taken linear algebra since 2012, maybe i should make voice notes too for myself
claude: "is just the boring edge case" me: EXACTLY!! lol
claude: "The textbook actually calls this out directly on page xx — it warns you to distinguish ## from ##, because they look almost identical but mean different things." its so crazy it can do this. ok i have to study then we're going out to dinner
i have to keep saying this, for myself, but like if ure insecure about anything, like u have to attack it and overcome it, its not worth it bc theres so much on the other side. ive worked with ppl with adv degrees who have like poor programming skills and they cant help themselves and its like, u can fix that and be better. not worth it to not be ur best if u can.
