...capacity—I mean, you should see schedules,” says Nancy M. Kane, the school’s associate dean of educational programs. “It takes a computer doing advanced linear programming just to figure out when to schedule a class, and you’re always going to conflict with someone...
...Paul's Online Math Notes: While most pre-100-level math finals are over, if you think you'd benefit from a refresher on calculus, differential equations, or linear algebra, Paul Dawkins' guide can help...
Despite the play’s non-linear plot progression peppered with flashbacks, internal monologues, and scene changes between the island and the outside world, the actors’ superb abilities to transition between scenes keep the show cohesive and imbued with forward-momentum...
...sort of glue. For what the album attempts to be—a kind of 1970s throwback—it succeeds. But it lacks climax, both in specific songs and in “Travellers” as a whole. The album’s topography is linear, and when coupled with simplistic, often cheesy lyrics, the effort seems formulaic. The Apples take a 1970s formula and repeat it without adding much, and so their end product is polished but hardly original...
...that's true. But a lot of the time, people are just flying blind. John List, an economist at the University of Chicago, has noticed the disconnect in his own education experiments. He explains the problem to me this way: "I could ask you to solve a third-order linear partial differential equation," he says. "A what?" I ask. "A third-order linear partial differential equation," he says. "I could offer you a million dollars to solve it. And you can't do it." (He's right. I can't.) For some kids, doing better on a geometry test...
