Not that Anon but I know people that really needed the army. It gave them self confidence, helped them get over their issues with apathy, gave them a purpose. Immediate (sometimes) acceptance.

It's certainly a viable choice for certain people that can't seem to find happiness elsewhere.

I was pretty fucked up before joining. Drugs, bad relationships, tried to kill myself more than once. Literally no direction in life at all, but the army really put me in shape, both physically and mentally.

What I like about it? the physical aspect was great, it offered me possibilities and motivation to challenge my limits. The banter and camaraderie was pretty fun too. It's hard to explain honestly, I just felt at home

Ha! That's pretty cool that another Bear posts on here! I'm old as fuck (by 4chan standards) so I don't know who all is still around but Miner is great. I really enjoyed Moore's classes too, but when I left he was winding down from too much teaching due to personal issues I don't think I should divulge here. I have a funny story about Moore but posting on a phone is stupid, if I get in front of a keyboard I'll share it. I really enjoyed Segrest, but he's not at Baylor any longer. Donnelly is one of the leading Milton scholars in the field and his Milton class was great but holy shit is that dude boring as fuck!

Aww, I loved Donnelly. I'm 28, so I'm pretty old, too.

I loved Moore. I know the personal issues you're talking about, I think, and they're mostly gotten over now. Moore's in good shape, still. He helped guide me through a special study session on Eastern Christianity that I adored, and I also was part of a class of his during a Baylor in Turkey trip, which was great.

I will also say that I had Ralph Wood once for an Oxford Christians class, and he wound up being one of my favorite professors, too.

Good luck keeping up with writing while you do engineering. Your first semester with engineering is going to be a bitch.

UT has a great English program with some great professors and people. You don't have to work too hard to find the literary people in the English classes, but I don't know how you'll do it while in Engineering.

None. Too poor. I thought I'd be able to coast by on scholarships but after a series of traumatic life happenings and a brief mental breakdown my grades went to shit and, now having no viable chances at getting into a good university or getting enough scholarships, I dropped out.

>Highest level of education you have achieved. What major/minor?
Highschool drop out. I've been teaching myself calculus though and after I finish my textbook I'll move onto abstract algebra. It's a pipe dream of mine to be published (or at least do something worth mentioning) before I'm 21, the age when Galois died, I doubt I'll make it though.
Mostly I just don't want to be uneducated though.

Join a prog rock band in Argentina and eventually wack out a novel before I'm too old to die young. I've been keeping a journal with shitty poetry and a catalog of my sexual adventures and that helps me pass the time.

Sounds great. It's my dream to someday go to a good-ish university and study mathematics. I'm curious though, being a highschool student I don't get much exposure to more recent mathematics. Even the stuff I've been reading on my free time (mostly intro to logic books and discussions on mathematical philosophy) is about 100 years old. What's on the cutting edge of research right now? I've always had problems with arrogance and I'd like to start learning about problems people haven't solved yet.

Don't worry about the cutting edge. Learn your basics or you won't understand a single thing going on currently. There's a lot of good lists of textbooks out there that you should go through. Once you've read enough to have completed a PhD, then look at the cutting edge. Undergrad research usually deals with topics that are relatively simple, but also not important enough for anyone else to have really bothered with, at least from what I've seen. Get some basic undergrad and grad level texts, read them until you can do any problem in any of them in minutes, then look ahead.

I don't really have favorite anythings, I just move from thing to thing then drop it when I lose interest. I was absolutely in love with the futurist movement when I was a kid and Carlo Carrà (and the rest of that crowd) will always have a special place in my heart.
Godard would have to be my favorite director, but Truffaut, Wes Anderson, and Lynch are close seconds thirds and fourths. Recently I've been getting into Paolo Sorrentino, but I've only watched a couple of his flicks.
Favorite writer is Roberto Calasso currently. Huysmans and Gide have also been big inspirations in my life so I feel they deserve mention.
Like I said, recently I've been listening to a lot of Argentinian prog rock. Otherwise I've mostly been listening to Serge Gainsbourg and Thelonious Monk as of late. Like I said though, I pick things up, molest them, and toss them aside when they bore me.
I get the impression you only want to insult me though. If it makes you feel any better I've always preferred rap music to poetry and I think George Orwell is pure hype.

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it a lot.
Is there any specific order I should be studying in? It seems like everything branches off in different directions after a certain point, and I don't know if it's worth continuing into calculus after I finish the textbook I've got now, or if I should move onto something I find more interesting like abstract algebra and combinatorics.

Well, there's essentially two paths people take, but I suggest doing both. After learning proof writing and linear algebra and diffeqs and all that, people tend to branch off into either analysis or algebra. Both are good, but make sure you really understand the material in your textbooks for both before moving on. Also, do a bunch of set theory if you want to start on topology after going through those. Or you could go the finite route and look into combinatorics and things like that. Or various fields of geometry. Essentially, once you've got a decent background of analysis and algebra, you can look into any number of specialized fields, provided you study their other prerequisites too. It's more of a choice at that point.

I had this fantasy today about writing a novel slightly based on my summer in between first and second year uni. I imagined it touching on a lot of in-depth themes (gender roles, maturity, sexism, masculinity, existential dread, sex, ascetic ideals) while also being a high/low-brow culture book. Of course I'll probably forget about it two days from now, so I'll just hope that i get a decent journalism job and get a good knowledge of the western canon

Thanks a lot. I'm saving your posts to refer back to, I really appreciate the advice.
How much Calculus should I have before I go onto analysis? I'd been working through Stewart but it was too easy so I found a harder book on calculus and analytic geometry at my local goodwill. I've got a textbook on advanced calculus, but I'm not sure if it would be worth going through that or jumping into Rudin. I mainly enjoy reading/writing proofs and the computational focus of my calculus textbooks have been starting to bore me, what would you recommend?

Anonymous Fri Jul 3 01:27:28 2015 No.6771962

>>6771945
Stewart isn't bad as an introductory kind of text since it's very approachable, at least in my opinion. You should definitely tackle multivariable calculus and maybe differential equations before analysis. Also, once you do real analysis, look into complex analysis, it's very useful and generally pretty easy once you have the background.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 3 01:36:45 2015 No.6771988 >>6771962 Complex analysis sounds pretty interesting, I'll definitely make a note to do that. As it is I've already got more than enough textbooks for the next year. Thanks again for the pointers, it's nice to get a plan going for educating myself.

1-Well it's not that bad, it's probably the best latinamerican country to live in; but when you see most of your presidents since 1910 have been populist and corrupt you'll realize that this country is never going to move forward, which is sad because we don't lack economical resources

2- Are you asking me about Chile from a cultural standpoint or a general one?

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 3 10:37:51 2015 No.6773099 >>6773088 From a general standpoint. As in, would you prefer to live there? Would you ever live there? Why or why not? Also, what are the biggest differences between the two?

>Would you prefer to live there?
no
>Would you ever live there?
if it's temporary
>Why or why not?
-Because their politicians are also corrupt, see
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/08/chilean-president-michelle-bachelet-corruption-charges-sebastian-davalos
-I would have to adapt to a new culture for little to no benefit
-As in your case (if you're looking to move to any of both countries) I'd say Argentina it's a better option but not by much, we're in election's year and our future is uncertain.
You may watch this video (you can enable english subtitles)

That guy is an american who lives here, and when I think he's a douche and don't agree with many of the points he makes the video may prove useful to you

You can also visit /argentina/ in 8ch and make the same question, you'll surely get better answers

Wow, I didn't expect this much Baylor representation here. I took several classes in the great text department and really enjoyed them; however, I decided to take a different career path.

>What have you done with your life? I'm curious.
Took a gap year after high school because I didn't even think about anything, I was so used to my parents making all my life choices for me. A year later start uni on their insistence and picking of my degree, which was arts. Fail after a year and bailed out after not even trying to learn anything. Take a while 2 years of just fucking around, doing drugs, partying etc. Third year I stay mostly at home playing games and watching movies. Then join another uni and pass the first two years with same minimal effort as usual. Doing economics this time. Get kicked out in final year due to false a false accusation of trying to manipulate the system into letting me do he same course for free next semester when I don't have need for such petty crimes as my parents would've paid anyway. Then spend last 6 months just reading. Now going to uni again. Arts again. I really just want to write a novel (which I actually have an aptitude for) and live the rest of my life not working every 6 out of 7 days in peace.
