Freshman Journal 1.2.1

Elsewhere:My 2006 painting has found its third resting place, this time in one of the new principal's offices. For some strange reason, Temple Hill has had much better publicity than my more recent and better delivered works. Now I have to wait for him to get tired of the painting before I can take it back, fix it and put my signature on it.

This is how it looks like at the moment:


MA2108 Mathematical Analysis I
The semester was kick-started by this introduction on how to make Calculus rigorous mathematics i.e. more kickass.
Only 3 topics are covered in the module: real numbers, sequences and series, and limits and continuity of functions.
The plan for my math minor modules are dominated by Analysis rather than maths of any other sort. I'm not too sure if it is a good plan to do this in terms of variety and wtfness of subject matter.

MA1506 Mathematics II
The semester's second lecture was on Differential Equations, something rather more inscrutable, technical, and reliant on rote learning than Calculus. I shall see what I can do about it!
In summary,
MA1505: Calculus
MA1506: Differential Equations and Linear Algebra (Also prerequisite to MA2101)

EG1108 Electrical Engineering
A brief foray into the subject my dad teaches.

PC1432 Physics IIE (Engineering Physics part II)
The first lecture is basically the same thing as that of EG1108

CS1010E Programming Methodology
Sitting in the first rows didn't prevent me from falling asleep. Sorry Lecturer

LAG1201 German I
First serious attempt to learn a foreign language after halfhearted attempts at Hungarian, Russian and French.
Herr Döpel took over from our lecturer, who was absent that morning, and there we recited the German alphabet to the rising sun.
