- For Wednesday December 13 lecture: Complete your student ratings
for this course. As you prepare for the final exam, write responses to
the following questions. There is a study guide available here.
- Which ideas, topics, and theorems do you think are most important out of those we have studied?
I feel like you've pretty well condensed everything on the final exam. For the whole semester, the Master Thm stands out as being important, as does the whole section on statistics, and the Fourier transforms. I fail to see the importance as of yet of the wavelets, mostly because I have yet to fully understand them.
- What do you need to work on understanding better before the exam?
Come up with a mathematical question you would like to see answered or a
problem you would like to see worked out.
You mentioned today in your office that the point of Monte Carlo methods is to approximate integrals with/as sums. If we could see that, that would be great. Also problems 4 and 5 on the study guide.
- What have you learned in this course? How do you think these things will be useful to you in the future?
There are so many topics that we've covered, it's almost hard to remember them all. One of the biggest takeaways for me, though, is how to work hard, and to do so consistently and as a group. Although all of the topics have been interesting and will inevitably be important to some extent, in realty I feel like I'm learning how to learn right now. I'm getting smarter and building a toolbox that will allow me to do bigger and better things in the future.
