    • 经典 郁闷 sigh...>: 有问题 等我积累一下 一起问
      • But the girls worked as a co-op students in our company are very like girls. They type fast,that is for sure
        • r they all students of uw? which company then?
          • Are they in CS or Accounting? We do have pretty girls in Accounting, a lot of them!!
    • questions
      1.is it MC--Math & Com. Building?
      2.what did u mean by "You use the following phrases in your daily life: "for all", "there exists", and "such that" "?
      3.what is BS?
      • MC is Math and Com building, opened in 1966, up until 1991, there housed the most powerful computer in Canada, a IBM T229 mainframe
        BS is bullshit,

        This one time I went to MC's fifth floor to see a prof, then it occured to me that I've never been to the sixth floor, you know what's the scary part? it doesn't exist
        • 可MC象迷宫一样 :( 兜N圈也甭想找到PROF办公室
      • Because we use "for all", "there exists", and "such that" in virtually all Math course for proving stuffs! So it's like a daily life phrases to say it.
    • sigh >>: 赞同 痛苦ing~
      • Poor girl.... I have a light semester... All my courses are not very hard...
        • what courses r u taking this sem.?
          • 3MATH, 1CS, 1ECON. Next Term, 2CS, 2ECON, 1ACTSC.
            • faint ~~~~u thought they were not hard?
              but...u r right the courses here r pretty easy ,but not easy to pass
              • I found 1B is the hardest. 2A is kinda learn something that's a bit harder than 1B (more stuffs but basically same topics). So I found 2A is okay. Next term maybe more interesting since I have 3 finance courses.
                • u r majoring in CS right?r u taking finance ones for elective courses?
                  • Yeah. ACTSC231 is Mathematics of Finance, then ECON371 is Business Finance, plus ECON332 which is internationl finance. So I have 2 CS plus 1 Math plus 2 ECON. But it's like 2 CS + 3 Finance.
                    • may i what the differences r between CS & Math.B? i also can choose courses designed for CS as well right?
                      • NOPE. You can only take CS130/134. And that's it.
                      • Read the undergrad calendar. In the course description, it will say this course is intended for CS Major only or some stuffs like that....
                        • en...lots of restrictions :
    • 你觉得应该问什么? hehe
      • 虾米颠三倒四你就问虾米好了:)
