I got an A+ in both Numerical Analysis(MAT128A and Advanced Calculus(MAT127C). I was the best student in both classes by a statically significant amount. In my Advanced Linear Algebra(MAT167) class I got an A. So overall I'm very happy since very few students take three summer classes at once and almost nonone get's more A+'s than A's !!!! My Advanced Linear Algebra was way too easy most of it was review I am still really fucking upset that we didn't cover the material more indepth since it ...

I took my last two finals for summer school, I had enjoyable classes but I'm still glad I'm done . My advanced linear algebra was a dissapointment since it was mostly review of the stuff from my first linear algebra course (: anyways I hope I get all A's we'll see! I'm flying down to San Diego tonight to visit UCSD and help my uncle lay tile, I'll be coming back Thurday the 25th.

It's been a while since I've posted. I thankfully got all A's last quarter in Advanced Calculus, Data Structures and Algorithms, Eletricity and Magnetism, Math 180 special topics and Topology. My friend Ben who is Chinese is back in China for the summer I'm going to visit him in Edinburgh(He goes to school in Edinburgh) next September which will be cool since It'll be the first time I've been to Europe. My classes over the summer are Math 128A Numerical Analysis, Math 127C Advanced Cal...

Well my teachers were nice and gave my all A's, I got two A's and two A+'s. This quarter I'm taking 5 classes which is 19 units I hope I can handle the load. I was really pissed because part C of my partial differenctial equations was canceled but I still managed to get a good schedule. I'm taking math 127B Advanced calc, math 147 topology,math 180 special topics,physics 110B E&M and computer science 110 Data Structures and Algorthims.

Well the winter quarter is over and I got A's in Partial Differential equations and my Assembly language class. I don't know what I got in my physics class and my other math class but I didn't do very well on the finals so I might of gotten a B in one of them oh well. Overall it was a good quarter although I didn't study as much as I should have but it's all over now. I've been playing squash with my friend Ben which is fun since I really like the exersise. I'm on spring break now and I'm...

I got an A on my Real Analysis exam. But I then had a physics and computer science exams a couple of days ago. I think I did alright but it's hard to tell. Anyways I'm going crazy with more tests and homework due. I have another exam in Partial Differential Equations on monday and I have physics homework due on monday also. Then on tuesday I have a program due for my assembly language class. Also the grader for my partial differential equations homework took points off that they shouldn't ha...

The first test in my Real Analysis class was too easy. I think he should have made it a lot harder. He only had one proof out of the six problems. We didn't even prove any important theorems. Oh well. The topics are pretty hard but he only put the easy stuff on the test. In the class so far we've constructed the real numbers from the rational numbers by means of Dedekind cuts Link Then we covered Cauchy sequences and inner products etc. Other then that stuff I've been doing pretty good. I...

My winter break was pretty good. The only bad thing is I missed all the SNOW at home. Right after I left to come back to davis it snowed. I was pretty bummed because I haven't seen snow for a long time and I love snow. My new classes are all good this quarter is going to be harder than last quarter I think. It's pretty cool my real analysis teacher is from Australia you can check his website out at Link . The class is pretty hard. I had to discuss the homework problems with the teacher f...

Well my shoulder quit aching and I got A's in all my classes . Not only A's but two A+'s and no A-'s. So I still have a 4.0. In other news I'm working on my raytracer you can take a lool at http://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~bjwbell I've also been editing the davis wiki website at http://www.daviswiki.org

I was out biking with my dad today and my bike frame broke. Which is pretty anoying considering I got the bike in april. I have used it pretty hard but not that hard. I'm just happy it happend after finals.

Well I took my Linguistics final. The teacher was really nice and had the scores posted at around 5:00 p.m. I got 100% which I know is an inflated score since I got at least one question wrong. In looking back on my finals it's kind of funny how large the difference was in the amount of studying I did for each final. By far I did the least studying for the linguistics final. For the linguistics final I only read my notes three or four times. For the other finals I redid old tests I did the ...

Yeah I got an A in my partial differential equations class. I managed to get an 89.5% on the final and I was ranked third. The average score on the final was 55%. In the class I was ranked third out 46. So I'm pretty happy. I just need to do well on my linguistics final tomorrow and hopefully I'll get A's in all my classes

My physics final went much better than I thought it would. I was finished with all the problems I did in one and a half hours. I attemped to do 7 out of the eight problems. I know I got 3 problems completly correct. You only need to get about 5 of the problems correct to get an A. So I think I got an A. After I finished the final I was talking to the teacher and he thought I should be a physics major which was cool. It's a nice ego booster when the teacher tries to recruit you into their fi...

I just had the final exam for the Partial Differential equations class. It was an awful test. Out of the 11 questions I couldn't fully answer the last 3. I'm just hoping eveyone else does terrible also. The class was fairly easy but for some reason that final was awful. My intro to abstract math final was okay. So I expect to get an A in that course. After that final in Partial Differential equations I'm just hoping for a B. I still have a physics final on friday and a linguistics fin...

I should be studying for my math final. But I felt like taking a break to update my blog. I was thinking about how much I talk to people and I concluded that it's pretty rare for me to have much of a conversation with anybody. I talk to my sisters and parents everyday but not much. Anyways things I going pretty good. I just have to do well on my finals to do well in my classes so that's pretty much all I'm thinking about right now.
