I hate assignments. :@ WHY DO THEY ALWAYS GIVE YOU ONE FOR EVERY SUBJECT AT THE SAME TIME?!?!???
FUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I thought the good old days of writing essays was over! I am wrong yet again :'(

/end rant

Cos it's uni and it's Week 8. 

And essays?  Even mathematicians can't escape from them.

When do they kick in? I would actually love this! The amount of verbal/written reasoning that I have to do to get through my Calc is retarded. My assignments are pretty much 50/50 text-to-maths.

Greatness

Are you sure you like proofs?

^C'mon enough about the complaining about proofs. They aren't that bad. Most of the undergrad ones are only at most 2 paragraphs or a bunch of disjoint sentences with a few equations/symbols/expressions in between.

I did however have to write an essay for Commutative and Multilinear Algebra on "The best practices in teaching mathematics". A 9-page essay that has nothing to do with Commutative and Multlinear Algebra. So just be happy, it could be a lot worse...

Hey guys just wondering if anyone knows if there is an after-hours return chute at the ERC library. I will be going past the uni at like 5:00 tomorrow morning and I have some books to return.

edit: If so, where is it?

For the best university in the country, the IT department at UoM could be better run by a monkey

Thanks"
