And you have to give yourself some credit: he offered to move you to a easier class and you said you wanted the harder class. That speaks a lot of your determination to learn and the fact you are not a quitter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6865952895702374543.post-8923032795564271952008-10-25T21:47:00.000-07:002008-10-25T21:47:00.000-07:00Dunno anything about Latin, but I can crack langua...Dunno anything about Latin, but I can crack languages if I'm dead serious. (threw away Mandarin 'cause I wasn't so serious about it) Conjugation, declension and inflection can be fitted into, say, a huge table or chart.<BR/>Try math - this is killing me. All the concepts I've learned were mostly in words, graphs or the simplest form of formulae composed of scalar. Now I'm calculating utility maximization everyday with a Lagrangian function of vectors and matrices, assuming that consumers are fracking smart enough to go through all that to get the money's worth. And max U(c1, c2) subject to bla-bla-bla is an easy part. Most other expansions were already complicated enough when they were scalas. Econometric regression and interences looked so simple and clear back in college - now I'm beginning to doubt that after learning how the error terms should be roasted (residual control) and the least-square estimator should be sugarcoated (compensated). No wonder we've got a quitter in my class already.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
