Stanford's EPGY program...

<p>Wow this looks cool! I am going to register! Haha do you guys take your finals online (multiple choice?)?</p>

<p>Good Luck, sempitern!</p>

<p>For the classes I'm taking (differential equations and linear algebra), all of the exams (including finals) are by paper, and you can fax, scan/email, or mail the answers. Since there is so much work to show, there is no multiple choice.</p>

<p>No multiple choice for any university-related class. Even Multivariable Calculus is almost all proofs.</p>

<p>remember...no certified mail! stanford's mail system is weird and they dont have people there 24/7 to sign your stuff.</p>

<p>Although the admissions office didn't have trouble with my certified mail for part of my application.</p>

<p>I disagree I just took my final and multivariable calc isnt proofs its a lot of problems very similar to the homework problems they assigned</p>

<p>Yeah it's not "all" proofs but that's the major component of the course. Basically, if you cannot do proofs, you will fail the course. Still, even the questions that are not proofs are usually indirect proofs.</p>

<p>Hold on, so Calc BC isn't good enough for Multivar Calc? I'm not even sure if I'm good at proofing or not. Hrmm.. failing? wow.</p>

<p>Same here, h88... we never do proofs in class so I've no idea whether I can do them or not.</p>

<p>dont worry its not bad. the lectures show you how to do proofs completely
and there's a booklet that teaches you how to do formal proofs.</p>

<p>Thanks for reassuring us, smiliekat!</p>

<p>Aye, thank you, thank you ^.^</p>

<p>np =)
have fun in the course.</p>

<p>the proofs are not hard you just have to make sure you read the proof chapter and pay attention to the lectures. In fact, most questions are very similar to the lecture examples/hw proofs.</p>

<p>Don't worry if you read the proof guides you will do very well in the course. Good luck</p>

<p>we should go visit marc and jon some day...</p>

<p>hopefully as undergrads</p>

<p>I thought of visiting Jon, smiliekat - out of idle curiosity what he looked like. Maybe good it's 400 miles away; they probably don't appreciate people coming in and wanting to be social. But you still wonder what the person you've been mailing your stuff to looks like in real life :)</p>

<p>Does anyone know Gary Oas? I emailed EPGY and he replied. Apparently, the Intermediate Electricity and Magnetics course is not yet released, but ready. He said it was because no one has yet reached that far in the curriculum.</p>

<p>But anyways, I plan to take many, many courses!</p>

<p>their picture is on the website epgy.stanford.edu, I can see my tutor's pic</p>

<p>My son took the pre-calc class last summer. He may take the Number Theory class this summer. Has anyone taken this class? If so, how was it? What was good? And what was difficult? Thanks.</p>
