NUS mod review (IV) y2s2
long overdue apologies. but i got a comment from anonymous, so... i'm hoping these mod reviews help. not in the mood to update on my life, coz.... way toooooo much has happened.
MA4271 Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces
workload/content: ok seriously a major reason why we took this is coz of prof loke. he was teaching this, so we took it. and in the first 2 lectures.... we were already like... what shit did we get ourselves into. it's difficult man. but..... it's fun. i really really enjoyed it, no regrets. this is one of the modules where i clearly saw the beauty of math, but....... i honestly dk how/what to do with it. haha. a difficult module, in my opinion, because i found it rather difficult to apply what i've learnt, with some what abstract concepts related to topology and mapping etc. but it's fun. and right now as i'm reviewing in my next sem, this has really helped me understand topology/abstract geometry-ish stuff much better.
BUT having took in my y2s2.... i was way out of my depth haha. the class had 13 people... with master's/year 4 student so as u can tell, i was way out of my depth.
lecturer: i have nothing but praises for prof loke haha. i love his 10 minute breaks. and he tries REALLY HARD to draw analogies for us to understand. so there was once he was explaining about vector field and how they point in a certain direction? then he put a picture of david beckham's hair as an example *LOL*
assessment: presentation/attendance in tutorial. 3 presentations over the whole sem. i think have homework also i can't rmb. midterms and finals. midterms were supposedly easy..... but like i said, way out of my depth, i scored like 22/40? probably lowest in class. most other ppl easily score close to full marks.
expected: C-B- (i honestly had no bloody clue *LOL*)
achieved: B (i must say i copied EVERYTHING into my cheatsheet for finals and it must have saved my ass. i found it rather... easy. because a bunch of questions were similar and i modified etc. my friend who scored same as me for midterms, scored a C+ overall?? other friend scored a B-, despite scoring 34/40 for midterms. so... really blessed hehe)
MA3111 Complex Analysis I
workload/content: i think it's because of the lecturer, but he mostly taught/explained, so that we may score well for his paper. u get it??? workload is fine, there's a homework due almost every week/two weeks. it's good though, because forces us to revise to do the homework. content not difficult, quite a fair bit of computation, analysis, not THAT much.
lecturer: prof chan heng huat. he was my ma1101R tutor in y1s1, and he kinda has an impression of everybody?? *LOL* he makes effort to remember most/all our faces and names, and will call u to present in tutorial. he's nice and cracks lame dad-jokes. he's strict though. not in the sense that he will scold you, but he expects u to attend tutorials.
assessment: homework every week/two weeks, presentation in tutorials, 2 midterms and finals. i did below average for first midterm, above average for second midterm.
expected: B+/A-
achieved: A-
MA2219 Introduction to Geometry
workload/content: not that heavy, and it's actually really fun. every friday lectures are construction time, so bring compass etc. fun, but can be difficult sometimes, especially when you don't see it, when u don't see the picture. but because it's a 2000 module, i probably didn't cared much, didn't study, didn't put in effort. my midterms were REAL SHIT *LOL*
lecturer: graeme wilkin. he's really nice though a little monotonous. he makes feeble attempts at cracking jokes and drawing real-life examples. but really a little monotonous. but he's SO NICE AND REAL APPROACHABLE.
assessment: homework, midterms and finals. my midterms were shit. like i failed i think? really really really bad. i didn't even study/bothered.
expected: B
achieved: B+
LAJ2101 Japanese 2
workload/content: as usual, japanese is heavy workload. prepare for lecture quiz, vocab quiz, listening quiz, conversation role play *lol* every tutorial. more difficult than japanese I because there were tonnes of different forms to remember omg. tutorials were less fun than Japanese I also leh. dk just couldn't talk cock with the teachers *lol*
lecturer: otsuka sensei. amazaki sensei for tutorial A, otsuka sensei for tutorial B. both really nice.
assessment: everything. *lol* rly every thing HAHAH
expected: A-
achieved: B+
SSA2214 Singapore and India: Emerging relations
workload/content: workload v slack actually. one tutorial every two weeks, and lecture. i think it was webcasted. or not. either way, i didn't go. *LOL*. content, should be expected for an arts module, with a thick stack of readings. it's rather interesting actually, certain aspects of it. expected to do a group presentation on one topic, not too difficult.
lecturer: idk *LOL* i didn't even go
assessment: class participation, presentation, midterm essay and finals. but the tutorial.... my tutor cancelled class a few times so honestly had v little tutorials so this module was almost non-existent to me *LOL*
expected: A-
achieved: B+ ( i scored really well for midterms despite not studying. 18/20 or smth like that. essay. expected the same fluke for finals... i guess not haha. but i do speak up in class so......?? idk.)

1. if F = f = 0,
then $D = EG, H = H = \frac{eG - 2fF + gE}{D}=\frac{eG+gE}{2D}, K = K = \frac{eg -f^{2}}{D}= \frac{eg}{D}$,
$k_{1}, k_{2} = H \pm \sqrt{H^{2}+K} = \frac{eG+gE}{2D} \pm \sqrt{(\frac{eG+gE}{2D})^{2} - \frac{eg}{D}} = \frac{eG+gE}{2EG} \pm \sqrt{(\frac{eG+gE}{2EG})^{2} - \frac{eg}{EG}} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} \pm \sqrt{\frac{e^{2}G^{2} +2EeGg+g^{2}E^{2}}{4E^{2}G^{2}} - \frac{eg}{EG}} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} \pm \sqrt{\frac{e^{2}G^{2} +2EeGg+g^{2}E^{2} -4EeGg}{4E^{2}G^{2}}} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} \pm \sqrt{\frac{e^{2}G^{2} -2EeGg+g^{2}E^{2}}{4E^{2}G^{2}}} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} \pm \sqrt{(\frac{eG -gE}{2EG})^{2}} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} \pm (\frac{eG -gE}{2EG})$
$k_{1} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} + \frac{eG -gE}{2EG} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} +\frac{e}{2E} - \frac{g}{2G} = \frac{e}{E}$
$k_{2} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} - \frac{eG -gE}{2EG} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} -\frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} = \frac{g}{G}$
then $D = EG, H = H = \frac{eG - 2fF + gE}{D}=\frac{eG+gE}{2D}, K = K = \frac{eg -f^{2}}{D}= \frac{eg}{D}$,
$k_{1}, k_{2} = H \pm \sqrt{H^{2}+K} = \frac{eG+gE}{2D} \pm \sqrt{(\frac{eG+gE}{2D})^{2} - \frac{eg}{D}} = \frac{eG+gE}{2EG} \pm \sqrt{(\frac{eG+gE}{2EG})^{2} - \frac{eg}{EG}} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} \pm \sqrt{\frac{e^{2}G^{2} +2EeGg+g^{2}E^{2}}{4E^{2}G^{2}} - \frac{eg}{EG}} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} \pm \sqrt{\frac{e^{2}G^{2} +2EeGg+g^{2}E^{2} -4EeGg}{4E^{2}G^{2}}} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} \pm \sqrt{\frac{e^{2}G^{2} -2EeGg+g^{2}E^{2}}{4E^{2}G^{2}}} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} \pm \sqrt{(\frac{eG -gE}{2EG})^{2}} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} \pm (\frac{eG -gE}{2EG})$
$k_{1} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} + \frac{eG -gE}{2EG} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} +\frac{e}{2E} - \frac{g}{2G} = \frac{e}{E}$
$k_{2} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} - \frac{eG -gE}{2EG} = \frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} -\frac{e}{2E} + \frac{g}{2G} = \frac{g}{G}$

NUS mod review II (or III)
ok this sem was decent. but i rly expected much more.
MA3110 Mathematical Analysis II
workload/content: this is core mod for math/applied math majors. not too heavy actually. chapters only 4 or 5 i think. i don't even rly read it that much after the lecture. occasionally. i do think it's quite fun though, interesting to learn about integration. or how it actually works, a little more than i used to know. not just Riemann sums, but inf of upper limit and sup of lower limit. very interesting. also understood Taylor's theorem a little more.
lecturer: prof tang wai shing was ok. very approachable, but perhaps not the most entertaining prof *LOL*. but he's nice because he prints tutorials and homework!!!! so u no need print HAHA.
assessment: constitutes of 4 homework (1 or 2 questions), 2 tutorial presentation, 1 midterms, finals. ok i did pretty decent for midterms, top 12th in the class *LOL* the total class have 30++ ppl. BUT finals was really damn hard *LOL* i died. we all did. even the guy beside me, after finals, we just look at each other and gg alrdy. and prof tang bluff us. he said since so many ppl did badly for midterms, finals will be easy. bullshit. damn hard. but he did give a practise paper, and it was just as hard. i copied EVERYTHING for my cheatsheet, including ALL notes, ALL tutorials and ALL homework. that sick ok my cheatsheet.
expected: A-
achieved: B+ (not sure why leh. midterms ok, but finals damn hard, but damn hard for everybody...)
MA2202 Algebra
workload/content: my favourite math module so far. IT'S super fun it love it so much. and really loved learning about group theory and finally clearly understood the isomorphism theorems. REALLY FUN TAKE IT EVERYBODY.
lecture: prof Loke hung yean explains content very very clearly, through writing out what he posted on the blog. oh there's no lecture notes. there's a blog. so content is on the blog u can print out but i don't. i just copy notes in class, those stuff that's not on the blog. yeah so prof loke writes out stuff from the blog, but it's much clearer and he explains it well. he's also very lame and very weird and has weird sense of humour. he's fairly approachable (fairly because i'd say he still expects a certain proficiency in mathematics so you can't ask stupid questions.. but still approachable and friendly). AND break times are 10-15 minutes. woohoo. and he'll like come talk to us during break time *LOL* he's so good that we're planning to take a level 4000 module he's teaching next sem. OH he also kindly agreed to write my recommendation level omg super nice.
assessment: 5 homework, but very easy. 2 blog posts. midterms were very easy (i was a little unlucky i didn't copy a certain question from tutorial, coz i thought i could reproduce it but i missed out some part. i got 44/50. but many got full marks so.... midterms were fairly easy.). finals not so easy. unpredictable because there's not much pyp for this subject by prof loke. he used to teach algebra S.
expected: A-
achieved: B+
ST2131 Probability
workload/content: i took it as an ST mod to clear fac req. i hate stats, i hate probability but i'm pretty damn good at it. very boring content very stupid very pointless. btw i took sem 1 probability. there's a diff between sem 1 and sem 2; sem 1 most applied math/math so it's more proving apparently but no just more computation leh. sem 2 mostly applied math/stats, so apparently very easy. finals was mcq wth????
lecturer: prof lou jian hua lectures very well but content very boring la. he also has a lot of quotes/wisdom on life that he imparts in lectures *LOL* it's rly very *lol*. he asked if we all read some chinese poem or not **lol**. and almost made us stand up for singapore during national day period. wth. also, if he's you tutorial teacher that's good. pay attention in tutorials, because a lot of the questions he goes through will come out. or the same concept behind it like the graph drawing will come out. no breaks in lectures btw.
assessment: 40% midterm, 60% finals. i think it's good, so i don't have to bother with homework etc. but tutorials are very long, like 20 questions kind of long. he only goes through 2-4 questions in tut though.
expected/achieved: A/A
CS1010S Programming Methodology
workload/content: very heavy workload, not so easy content. i easily spent most of my time on this module, because there are deadlines each week. damn shit i hate this piece of shit i spent so much effort then get this score zzzz hate it so much. i do not recommend this, unless u planning to do a CS minor. or you are math major who can juggle very well. because a fair amount of concepts should be sound to math majors.
lecture: idk. i don't go lectures. i just read lecture notes which are useless as well.
assessment: coursemology, midterm, practical, finals, tutorials. all i put in damn a lot of effort, but i didn't study for midterms and finals. like at all i didn't touch it at all, because.. if you did coursemo, you'd understand the concepts etc and you can't rly study for it eh IMO **lol**.
expected/achieved: A/B+ (apparently there's no bellcurve but i don't believe.)
LAJ1201 Japanese I
workload/content: heavy workload, but very fun content. idk i really enjoy it??????? i love it so much. but workload.. actually i think it's decent. you just can't leave it alone for ½ weeks. every week you must touch. if not GG. like.. every week need to memorise vocab for vocab quiz. and memorise dialogue for oral test. and do homework. but i feel it's necessary to be really familiar with the language. additional tip: i use memris app, there's the minna no nihongo topic for japanese, i found it helpful.
lecture: erm compulsory because have lecture quiz. the lecture pace is very fast, and you kind of forced to pay attention because of mic-san. **LOL**. but not a boring lecture. but i usually very angry in lecture, because the pace is SOOOOO fast, like you don't even have time to copy anything. then they will ask u to go back and revise. then i go lecture for what?! zhenyue had to convince me to stay for many lectures, coz i angry want to zao. *LOL* ( you must understand japanese lectures were my last class on my most tiring day. tuesdays 10-6pm no break. so... it pisses me off hahaha)
assessment: i'm not sure of the breakdown, they don't reveal. but it constitutes tutorial participation, tutorial quizzes, tutorial dialogue performance, homework, attendance, lecture quizzes, midterms, finals. yeah a lot of things, but just do everything you should be fine. plus i found it really fun so, the work wasn't too bad. both my tutorial senseis were approachable and fun. always talk cock with them and they love me. HAHAH. there was once zhenyue and i talk cock with sensei, like for 5 minutes straight just 3 of us talking in the class hahahah like don't care the rest omg damn bad but fun hahah. shirakawa sensei also wrote my recommendation letter very willingly and gladly. she's amazing!!
expected/achieved: A-
as u can see, i expected much higher this semester. but oh wells. i tried. current cap not too bad, 4.27. will keep working hard! but really, this semester, i have a lot of fun, and really enjoyed what i was studying. so happy to be doing math (except probability that's not math), so it was still a good semester. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAN how much joy i feel for math.
