What am I getting from my classes? Garden of ideas

I am a college student. I want to document what I’m actually getting from my classes. This will be updated every semester.

2022

Score: 10/10
Value: working on really hard problems for hours and learning linear algebra, group theory, and how it relates to geometric structures
Probably one of the best math classes I’ll take at MIT. The professor was a great lecturer, comprehensive, and made his problem sets like stories as you gradually uncovered a picture of the objects studied. It was hard though, and sometimes I felt very done, but I held through and it was worth it.

Score: 7/10
Value: getting exposure to using math to model real-world (non physical) phenomenon, and getting a better grasp on basic economy things/finance concepts

Score: 7/10
Value: getting more experience with the idea of integration and building up towards systematic/rigorous proofs of (somewhat) complex resutls
more practice with multi / calculus,
some focus on analysis type delta-epsilon proofs and a rigorous approach to open sets / manifolds
problem-sets were kind of tedious and annoying though, although I guess I got integration practice
knew quite a bit of the content though, so wasn’t super useful.

Score: 4/10
Value: some better understanding of how chem works
didn’t go to lecture after like 1/4 of the course because they were very bad, did symbol bashing in recitation and got it to work on psets, did pattern matching more than actual chem.
