The class was on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:40 - 3:00; however, we started having KFC emergencies. Around October, I introduced ... http://www.genekim.info/2008/12/27/we-like-marinara/ This course is going to be so fun! For me. Not for the students. Oh... The students will hate me so much. http://www.genekim.info/2008/12/15/math-32b/ Finally, it is over. My first quarter as a graduate student is done with. The classes were pretty bad.

Anyways. I was playing 2/3 NL. Now California cardrooms ("casinos") have this weird system where at each game, there are fixed buy-ins.

And then there was this damn problem from Stewart's calculus book (6th edition); it was from Section 14.3, which is Arc Length and Curvature. The problem 46 states: Find the equations of the normal plane and osculating plane of the curve at the given point. x = ... http://www.genekim.info/2008/10/15/math-32a-hw3-14346/ This is the best day of my life. Well. Not really. http:/www.kozachkov.com/Henry http://www.genekim.info/2008/10/13/henrys-back/ So finally, I came to realize that I probably shouldn't take 26 units my first quarter.
