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.

The professor for my analytical mechanics class had to go to INS(Imigration Naturalization Service) to get new finger prints. So the TA taught. And he was bad! The class was correcting his mistakes and finally he made so many mistakes that we quit correcting him! The quiz at the end of class was doable I hope I got the correct answer my last quiz I only got 8/10 the average was 5/10. In other news my ray tracer is coming along and I now have diffuse lighting and shadows. The shadows are...

I turned in my intro to abstract math homework yesterday. I didn't find the homework too hard it was just about right. I took a quiz in analytically mechanics today. I think he made it a little to easy but some people still didn't get correct. Overall I'm not finding UC Davis to be too hard but I'll see how I do on the exams. The quality of students is definetly higher than it was in my linear algebra class at sac state. So I'm pretty happy. I think it will be a good fit. My classes this quar...

I turn my first homewok for Intro to Abstract Math tomarrow I'll see how I do on it. So far I'm enjoying all my classes. None of them seem too difficult. And I'm so glad that the classes will hopefully be harder and I hope the teachers will cover some of the more advanced material. It's really cool that I'm only ten minutes away from class so I can be the clasic lazy college student and not get up till right before class.

I got a job monitoring the computer lab in the Computer Science department at UC Davis. This is really cool for me because the hours are just right Sunday 10am-6pm and it's doing something relaxing just monitoring the lab so hopefully when it's not busy I can do my homework and program. The only bad thing is it's only $6.75 an hour but that the price I pay for getting a job that won't interfear with school which is very important. I'm also hoping that I'll get to know the computer scien...
