Have two midterms tomorrow. Graph Theory and Topolgy. Pretty fun; unfortuante that they are on the same day.
Anyway, the format for graph theory is pretty interesting, A/P Tay will be testing on Chapter 1, connectivity. Full open book. And then he won't be testing this chapter in the exam. Wierd. The last time I sat for one of exams, Geometry: Ancient to Modern, I failed it. But passed the re-test... so not so bad. Wonder what it will be like tomorrow.
As for Topology, everything is fine from an analysis and metric space standpoint; nothing but definitions. But the minute the algebra (abstract algebra that is) comes in... *bleah*. Unfortuantely (for me), the algebra is where topology gets really interesting. U-liang, if you go to graduate level you really should take this module, you will see analysis and algebra coming together.
Anyway, format is closed book with help sheet with 4-6 true/false and 3-4 standard type questions. But as some of you may know, a simple sounding one line question can have a proof that is a few pages long. But I doubt he will ask those type of questions anyway. And yeah... true/false questions are not that easy to score!!! And I rather it be completely open or completely closed (hehe.. sounds like metric spaces) then I don't have to copy a helpsheet, not much use anyway.
Anyway, been working on my honours project, preparing formy honours talk in 2 weeks time. Seems a long way away, but I am really starting to wonder what I should put in it, been jumping around the proofs so much that I haven't really proofed anything yet. Most are partial proofs, or rather proofs that are very close to completion just need some re-organisation and will be done.
Need to get some inspiration for my science of music project. Thinking of composing a song in some weird timing. Marvin, "Marching Season" by Yanni is in 7/8 right??? Trying to compose something as weird as that, then will be unique! :)
