In this post, I specifically address how I studied for Calculus III, but the methods I discuss can be used for other math or math-heavy classes (e.g., physics) as well. While intended for college math, ambitious high schoolers might also appreciate this advice. I’ve taken 5 college-level math classes so far (Statistics, Calculus I-III, Differential Equations), so I’d like to think I’ve got the hang of this because I put a lot of effort into improving my techniques, allowing me to ace Calculus III this summer!

Includes:

Reviewing Prerequisite Material

My Homework Process

Keeping a Practice Notebook

Resources to Help with Homework

Exam Studying

This post is very detailed, so I hope it helps you out!

Saw this post about straight dudes feeling emasculated at the thought of taking their wife’s last name, and it gave me a sudden craving for fantasy media where some dude is called Leopold THE DESTROYER or some shit and there are all these rumors going around about how he got his moniker, all these made up stories about how he must have razed a village to the ground or slayed 12 dragons or some shit and it turns out he just took his wife’s last name.

Just want to add that I've been working really hard to finish some experiments and we are beginning to write our manuscript now. Sometimes these things work out.

Scooped

And I’m scooped. My project was published in another organism yesterday. Fuck me.

The thing about academia is that you can have a 12 hour day and it still doesn’t feel good enough

This is so important

glamorize going to bed early, like, 8pm early

instead of making high stress levels a competition, brag about feeling whole and at peace.

make it cool as hell to take 2pm naps and go on mindful walks by yourself.

talk about mental health and normalize visits to counselors or support systems

teach kids that being different is beautiful and that it’s healthy to love what makes us who we are.

make #selflove and #selfcare the most common hashtags

People have been asking me how long I’m going to be in this PhD program for and I’ve been saying “four years with good behavior”

What's your best example of correlation not equaling causation?

It makes me sad that the clock got fixed. But I'll always have this gif!

Some days are better

I always complain so today I'd like to say something positive. I got through the wash day of ChIP and got a western to primary antibody before 1pm! That's pretty awesome. So, some days are still exciting
