[14 / 1 / ?]
I'm a second year pure maths major and i don't even know what a isomorphism and homorphism means. Ever since high school I've been memorizing recent past exams (two years prior to the upcoming one and with similar content), and applying it to upcoming exam and I've gotten away with it for four years. I feel guilty that I don't understand mathematics, but boy maths is like the easiest major if you know how to cheat it. I don't even do problem sets. Any /sci/ guys know this feel? Who here memorizes past exams and apply it to their upcoming exams? I'm not a conceptual thinker btw.

No, i dont know the feel. And i see people like this in all of my classess, they struggle more and more and refuse to prepare themselves for the real world. But if you're successful, i dont really care, good job getting that degree.

>>7625877 i dont understand maths. i do maths. if someone asks me why a linearly independent set is trivial i say it all equals to zero nothing much than that.
ive realized that im slightly dyslexic which is what my counselor told me.

>>7625873 this
growing up i was surprised to learn that people actually go through their math courses without actually grasping the concepts, but rather with memorization

>>7625883 You mean the pseudo math courses with no proof questions on exams?

>>7625885 well... yeah?
what's your point?

>>7625888 Once you start doing proofs memorizing won't be very helpful, besides memorizing definitions which is as it turns out pretty helpful when deducting things.

>>7625889 Those are not proper math courses

>>7625895 that changes nothing of my original post. are you trying to brag that you take "proper" math courses?
take your ego back to /b/

>>7625873 im going to try super hard next semester. i want to be in academia. u must be a smart person not really on memorization
>>7625883 yes we exist and half of my class does it.
>>7625885 my linear algebra course is contemporary no applied stuff.
>>7625893 remember axioms help, but i need to read more, decipher more notes. thanx for ur insight.

>>7625900 Nope I am in engineering but it's laughable to compare the math courses that engineers/scientists do to people in mathematics. It's trickled down version of math with all the difficult theoretical component taken out.
Hey guys I am a bio major and I passed baby calculus 1/2. Math is so easy xD
