They're interesting missions for what they are, and they're very clearly part of the payphone missions because the trophy requires them. So why make them so hidden?

Hey! I'm still at community college but I'm going to take a class at state this semester via open university. The class starts in 1 week (8/24).

Here is what I have done:

1. Reactivated a Fresno State email I didn't know I had (I guess I applied during high school and forgot about it)

2. Set myself up for registration

3. Added the class I'm going to take to my wishlist.

Here is what I'm concerned about:

1. My account doesn't show any of the classes I've taken at community yet as I haven't transferred over, so it doesn't show I've completed the prereqs on my end. It also doesn't show my major as being declared, which I figured it wouldn't, but is there a way to do this early/should I do this early? Or do I just wait a year until I'm officially transferred over?

2. I emailed the professor of the class asking if there was anything else I should do, and he gave me the permission number to register for the class. Issue is, it's a 6 digit permission number and the open university help page said it would be 5 digits. I also see nowhere to put this in, and I can't even try to register for the class until the actual start date.

3. Once I do get enrolled in the class, I need to pay the fee within 24 hours. This is fine, but I have no idea where to actually pay and the website does not clearly state this. Does anyone have any advice on this?

Thank you to everyone who reads this and/or responds. I'm just kind of lost and really don't want to find out I missed a step when it's the day class starts and it's too late to fix the error. I need to get into this class. I'm a math major I can't not take any math for a semester lol. Any advice is appreciated!

Hi! My plan is currently a bachelor's in EE and a masters in applied math (not a bachelor's in applied math though, just taking prereqs while getting my degree and heading straight to a grad school for math).

The math classes I plan to take as prereqs/general knowledge of applied math before grad school go as follows (I have already finished all of the lower division math that is on the math/engineering specific pathway):

-Proofs

-Upper Division Differential Equations

-Partial Differential Equations

-Upper Division Linear Algebra

-2 semesters of Real Analysis

-1 semester of Abstract Algebra

I also need to take complex analysis which I know is very applied to engineering but I truly don't think I'll have time for that until grad school so I'll have to take it alongside my grad classes first semester most likely, or find some random place to fit it in somewhere else which would mean taking more classes than I'd like to in a semester. Or, more realistically, holding off on like semester 2 of real analysis until grad school to take complex instead. I'll have to work it out, but still. Realistically how much overlap in just teaching the actual mathematical concepts will I see in my engineering classes?

Hey, so I'm at a bit of dilemma right now and I'm curious what you all think.

​

I am going to school for Electrical Engineering and Math right now. However, I have recently started to realize that I am not all too passionate for engineering, and I'm really just going into it to take a math degree that "pays more". Now, I am only one year in, and haven't gotten really heavily into any engineering curriculum stuff so far, but am at much more of a headstart with math due to taking calc AB & BC in high school and then calc 3 and linear algebra/differential equations my first two semesters of college.

​

I am unable to take any math for the next year, at least as long as I stick to the engineering track I'm on now. Next semester I start electricity and magnetism in physics, and I'm taking intro to circuits the semester after that. So for sure, I'm going to give this next year a shot to learn some basic engineering stuff and give it a chance. I plan to seriously go in with an open mind because it's only a couple extra classes anyways and I'll be transferring from community college to university at the same time regardless. It gives me a chance to learn the whole calculus based physics series (imo useful even just for math) and basic Matlab skills with the intro to circuits so I can truly see a more applied calculus based electrical engineering class.

​

However, I fear that despite taking these classes, my passion will still lie in the math. And if I'm not passionate about engineering, do I really want to continue it? Currently, the idea of needing to apply for and work summer internships bores me (though like I said, I haven't even experienced real engineering yet, so I'll give it a shot no matter what) and the classes themselves do sound interesting but compared to the class descriptions of the math stuff at the universities I'm going to I find myself wanting to do the math so much more. I'm already double majoring just because I absolutely need to learn more math or I'll go insane (and either way it'll help my stand out more amongst other applicants who only have an engineering degree).

​

But I'm thinking I really wish I didn't have such a high courseload and I could take things a bit slower and just get a masters in math, which is honestly right now what I believe I'm going to be the most passionate about. My issue is jobs. I want to make money, I definitely don't want to be a math teacher or professor, so what does a masters degree in math even get me? If there is a clear cut path for a high paying job I can get with a masters in math, unless of course this next year changes my mind and I decide engineering is my one true passion, I'd love to just do a masters in math.

​

So, what do you guys think? Do I go with the double major I'm in now or do I spend the same amount of time getting a master's so I can skip all of the engineering stuff I'm not quite as passionate about and just dive all into the math. I'm literally self studying a textbook on partial differential equations over the summer just because I want to, it doesn't help me at all and I'm not taking the class for another year and a half. I love this stuff, and double majoring allows me to do more of it, but a masters would allow me to do all of it that I want to.

this is a massive issue with the TV honestly, but I can't find anything about it online so do I have a defective unit? If I have to I can use the 5 year GSP from Best buy but I'd rather not use that only a couple months in because it'll get totally used up.

​

Any ideas?

I know that when geek squad gives you a new dishwasher, your warranty is used up. But what about when you can't use GSP because it's within the first year and you have to deal with the manufacter? Do I seriously have to get a replacement from the manufacturer which I can't even buy GSP on and won't be covered under the 5 year protection plan which is now essentially rendered useless?

My dad sent me an insta reel with this problem on it because he knows I know calc stuff. It's a calc 3 problem, but nothing not even AI is able to even kind of get me somewhere. Everytime I thought I had it it turned out I messed up a u-sub or something and it's actually way harder than I thought. Please help! I'd love to know if this is even possible, and if someone is able to work it out a hint on how to do it would be great. This seems like a genuinely really good excersize for me that tests all of my skills if I'm able to do it.

I can't put in an image, but I'll try to describe it here:

double integral, first integral bounds are 0 to infinity and second integral bounds are 0 to π/2.

the inside numerator is xsin(theta)ln(1 + x²cos²(theta))

the inside denominator is (1 + x²sin²(theta))^(3/2)

The order of integration is dtheta then dx.

Any help is appreciated, I'm genuinely really trying to figure this out. Thank you!

I liked my differential equations with a little bit of linear algebra class but I know I wasn't being told everything. Should I take upper division differential equations before partial differential equations, or have I learned all of the O.D.E knowledge I realistically need to know? If the class will be drastically different, then I'll consider taking it if it will help with PDEs which I'm very interested in. But if it's going to be mostly review with a little bit of extra stuff I'll learn in PDEs anyway then I see no point.

For context, I'm an EE major and I won't be able to take a math class for another year, but I'll be doing physics classes and things that involve heavy calculus in the meantime, so I won't lose all of the knowledge I have now.

I just bought "Absolute Batman: The Killing Joke" because I assumed it was the absolute edition (which from my understanding having never owned an absolute is just a really really oversized premium edition of a comic) of Batman: The Killing Joke. It seems based on the images on Amazon and everything that I was correct. (Also this is only 30 bucks on Amazon right now which to me seems like a really good deal!)

But I also was told by a friend that there's a seperate series called Absolute Batman where it's just a really interesting and unique much darker version of a traditional Batman story where joker is some weird mutant creature thing.

How do I tell the difference between the two? I find this overall very confusing. Especially when even the spine of killing joke has "Absolute Batman" on it.

Help is appreciated, you all in this sub are amazing! I appreciate all of the advice on all of my posts here.
