Science + Art = ?

Prof. Andrew is gd! Today we used the precise definition of limits to prove harder limits... Of course, some of us had difficulty understanding the proofs, and were puzzled... Well, I went down to ask him stuff at the end of the lecture for the first time, and I muz say he's gd la! :D

Some of his quotes:

"Well, if I'm teaching what you already know, then what's the point of coming here?"

"In University u don't just keep differentiating more and more complex functions, u'll need to learn how to understand calculus at a deeper level."

"Engineers don't get this stuff; they take yrs to accept it."

LOL I'm so proud to be a Math Major!

Linguistics lecture today was oso quite interesting... Began studying the structure of language; today in particular we started with the morphology of language... The technical part of this module is starting to show itself, but to a certain extent its quite intriguing :) We studied how words are formed and learnt abit of Swahili (some African language) and Italian... Check out the following:

Gibberish?


It actually means "Someone did not find a completely suitable resting place."

So cool rite!?! :)

*I love Tuesdays, they are a prefect mix of science and art, which makes life all the more interesting and meaningful, lolx...
