Heading to get mine in the fall

 

Yeah, i have a masters of science in Psychology. My degree is in English language / literature and I’d never studied psychology before so threw myself in the deep end. Loved every minute of it!

Post High School Mathematics is a pain in ass.

 

I don't think I can continue Master's.

 

Proof with Euclidean axioms and known theorems that from all quadrilateral  figures inscribed in a circle the square has the biggest perimeter. Does there exists a continuous functions that exchanges all irrational points with rational one and all rational points with irrational ones?

 

This type of ****. I thought Math was about solving integrals and limits. 

 

Nahh thank you. Probably want to continue Computer Science/Data Science. 

Irrational numbers are important in electricity and electronics. The vectors are spinning around and drawing circles.

 

I majored in electronics and got that extra math package the other engineers didn't get.

 

The fun begins when the most craziest ideas on math history that didn't have a purpose suddenly matters because of advances in electronics or computer science.

 

I liked learning about how the calculators operate, how can it calculate any sin, cos, tan,... you can throw at it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series

Sure sin, cos are continuous functions and differentiable n-times so you can transform them into Taylor series. I was taught how to proof all convergence test  theorems. However I don't memorize a good chunk of those proofs. Some sure, but not all.

 

Numerical series, functional series, polynomial series and Fourier series.  

 

I know how to compute many random series (depending on the level of difficulty). A moderate example would be this:

https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2021790/find-the-maclaurin-series-of-ln-x-sqrtx21?rq=1

The part of (1+x^2)^(-1/2) is a bit tricky though. 

 

I prefer analysis over algebra especially abstract algebra.

 

I heard that Calculus was needed to help moon landings. In physics a big problem is being able to find the appropriate function that is needed to evaluate the theorical case. I have no use of it outside of my study fields nor do my computer scientist friends use it in their profession that much.

Yes

I have a doctoral degree
