Day 1

[gfish]

I have survived my first day of classes and being a TA. TAing the lab section wasn't bad at all. I'm good at debugging, and I can usually explain things if I bother to slow myself down and think it through. CPSC 546 Numerical Optimization, on the other hand, is going to kick my ass from one end of campus to the other. It's not a good sign when the prof hands out a baseline homework which is 50% unknown math terms. It's really not a very good sign at all. I really want to take the course, but it just might be a foe beyond my abilities. I have to decide by next Tuesday.

stoutfellow is a math professor both friendly and accessible, but I'm not sure if what you need is in his area of expertise. It might be worth a shot, though.

Good luck!
