Any mathematicians here?

[DoNotDisturb]

Are there any big sites for people that like math that includes forums where people post frequently? Any good sites for mathematics? Are there any math majors here or anyone that goes to a school such as MIT or caltech?

 

[RaynorWolfcastle]

Any particular reason you are asking?

Just arrived on campus today at MIT. I'm a freshman, so I have no clue what's going on, so nope, sorry, can't help

MIT alum class of '01 here

I really got into math at the HS level where I competed on math team... I was on HS math team and the MA state team. Best way to learn is do problems from old competitions. Also do national exams like the AHSME and AIME plus state olympiads... I don't know of any good web sites, sorry

One of the best and most comprehensive reference sites is here:

Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics

hey MisterT, any advice for a stupid and naive freshman? How did you survive the 4 years at MIT? Care to share some wisdom?

- Study what you want to study, not what your parents want you to study
- Make an effort to have a social life
- Get involved in athletics
- Try to find the 1 or 2 hot chics in your class

hey there, nuclear! yeah i remember you

anyways, i would like to talk to people that went to MIT (thats the school i'm aiming for, if not, then caltech)

Now THAT must suck. Thats one of the perks of going to UF, drones and drones of georgous women.

Most important, not just in MIT. Makes going to class a heck lot more fun.

i'm a applied mathematician... just graduated from ucla undergrad applied math. i don't know of a math forums and i don't think i would like to join... but one cool webpage is:
http://www.claymath.org/index.htm

there are 7 questions where if you actually find an answer for, they'll give you $1 million for each question.

nuclear, what is your aim sn

but if you keep the method secret, you'll make billions upon billions

Good luck with that if you're an engineering major and if you're a math or computer science major then give up the dream of meeting hot chicks in the classes of your major. BTW, I have an MS in math is currently a math instructor at the a State university. I can tell you the ratio of (good looking female students in my business calc classes)/ (good looking female students in my engineering calc 4 classes) is like 500 to 1.

 

[DoNotDisturb]

well the type of girls that attend, and what is considered "hot" to certain guys varies.

 

[DoNotDisturb]

hehe.. if we express that in mathematic terms.. maybe we can express a person as any variable... maybe "n" ? ;D

you'd actually be surprised... well at least i was. i just graduated from ucla. now don't get me wrong, there are a lot of chinese fob girls that don't know any english but there are the occasionally few hot girls. i would say that there one decent to above average girl in every other math class. it depends on what type of math class you take... if you're taking analysis, good luck but if you're taking complex analysis/combinatorics/numerical analysis... i think there is a good chance.

anyone here (that are in MIT or really good at math) that wants to talk about stuff on AIM. I need guidance.

I will talk at length about math ... on ICQ ... if you want. I'm going to Waterloo, but I assure you that I am far beyond any other first years in terms of mathematical abilities. (Or did you want to talk about University?)

As for a good forum, there's some really, really neat stuff here: http://groups.google.ca/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=sci.math

I don't dare post there, but I do spend many hours reading.

Gustuvus, a member here, is actually a math professor at MIT if I recall correctly.
