Hey, I need all the help I can get.  This is my first upper division mathematics course, and this is our text, and I've heard it's a difficult one.
Expect me to necro the math help thread once I get my first assignment. :P

Actually, Bollobas isn't too bad in terms of difficulty.  He has terrible typesetting and exposition, though =/  TERRIBLE.  Some of the worst I've ever seen.

A lot of my problem is likely that I hate applied math, though, and Graph Theory is stuffed with enough combinatorics that I'm a touch annoyed at it.  That, and the first real proofs I did were from a CS person tutoring me in their senior-level graph theory course they took in college, but the guy in question had no idea how to teach people to prove things and no mastery of the subject, concept of "what a good textbook is," or really any sense of mathematical beauty at all :I

... To be honest, I'll probably do some graph theory once I've polished off MacLane's Algebra, but right now it's not as important to my studies as topology and set theory.

Got the Collector's Edition of DCUO today. Thing is pretty spiffy looking, and my gf LOVES Jim Lee's work. So she's going to get a kick out of this.

What made me happy is this: http://openxcom.ninex.info/

OPEN SOURCE XCOM GUYS. Just thought you guys should take a look if you still play Xcom.
Hm. This game looks pretty good. I'll check it out.
It is very unfinished, though, unfortunatedly. I peek at it from time to time.


Anyways, I'm happy because that mark I've been expecting for 1,5 months came out, and I passed :D

yea i heard about that and Two Sides. im waiting until the ai is better.
The aliens absolutely do not need better AI until the game balance is totally changed from the original.  And even then...

Well, for one thing, aliens aren't all that fussy about not blowing up your gear.  So imagine even BETTER alien grenade placement olololol.  And imagine if they could take up real positions and work together to unleash holy hell, instead of doodling around closets for no good reason.

...

Maybe I should try and write AI :/  I miss writing AI.

Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

If you look at the hardware specs for it, its ridiculously high-powered. and all of the CPUs are single cores, I think. And it has no Internet connection.

But it can answer questions in under three seconds and has info manually loaded into it, so Its apparently a good jeopardy player.
