Motivation

Fall 2022 grades

My Fall 2022 grades

  • My first quarter in university (almost 4 years ago) I got a C+ in Linear Algebra (Math 21), I'm surprised I even passed the class, as I don't think I was able to solve any of the problems on the final. The final was not hard either, it was full of cookie cutter problems.
  • After a terrible start to uni, I told myself I'll learn the material on my own, as I knew that Linear Algebra sat at the heart of everything I wanted to learn.
  • Finally, after putting it off for way too long, I shall learn this subject thoroughly. Mainly because I'm unemployed and have too much time on my hands and I should probably try and be productive with it :/
