End of term
Recap:
8.04 - Rounded up the year with what I felt was an encyclopedic knowledge of everything taught in class. I started making a review sheet at http://web.mit.edu/dvp/Public/dvp-8.04-final-review.pdf
8.225 - Good lit-based physics class. Am minorly pissed that an extra day per paper could have given me the A. :) Term paper at: http://web.mit.edu/dvp/Public/dvp-8.225-paper3.pdf
18.330 - Favorite class this term. Lippert was awesome. The subject matter really got beaten into me. (In fact, as I was looking over the 18.700 final, I realized that I could do half of it cold just because of this class.) Last (perfect score) pset at http://web.mit.edu/dvp/Public/18.330/dvp-18.330-pset6.pdf
18.821 - Bah. I wish I could have given this class the time it deserved. shephi keeps a copy of the last paper at http://web.mit.edu/weezer/Public/graphfleas.pdf
14.02 - Better than 14.01, though sort of boring.
(Other major transitions involve keeping all my work in SVN, LaTeXing like it was a fetish, and using SciPy instead of MATLAB or C for number crunching.)
This term was the best term ever in terms of skills learned, material understood, and GPA obtained. This term, in combination with last term, was good enough to rescue me from the abysmal (read: GPA ~ 3.5) spring term of my freshman year to the point that my GPA is now good enough to double major. I've also decided to choose 8 and not 8-B, because leaving MIT with a physics degree without having to take Quantum III or Junior Lab seems sort of lame. It will, however, take significantly extra daunting work. Anyway, I told sultanpepper we should walk down to the ARC together first day of term and get second advisors. :)
Fall 2006 term: 8.05, 8.13, 18.700, 18.310, 14.12
