@shroomBurger13 The best thing to do at a visit is to talk to lots of the current grad students --- they're in the best position to tell you what it is really like.

Canvas expects me to organize my linear algebra course into modules -- surely vector spaces would be easier.

A fork() diverged in a unix process; the GPU was sorry it could not travel both.

I use a directory 𝘹+1 for the academic year including Autumn 𝘹 and Spring 𝘹+1. (I feel super guilty for labeling the time interval using the right hand endpoint.)

Please do not lump math and physics with the rest of STEM. We're better and built different.

Here at Peking University, the brave child approached me as I sat on a bench overlooking a small lake on campus. Well, in truth the boy was urged on by his mother, who was filming the entire interaction. He started out with "Allo" and I replied. But then an awkward silence as he struggled to form an English sentence in his mind. Finally, out came his conversation opener: "How old are you?" I asked him how old he was, but instead of answering, he asked "Where are you from?". I said "New York", but this was a mystery, totally unknown to him. I repeated "New York" slowly several times and mentioned the Empire State Building & Statue of Liberty, but it was a complete loss. I might as well have said Wolvercote. We proceeded with the standard school conversation, "How are you" "Fine, and you?" etc. Eventually he learned I was American. I asked if he knew any cities in the United States. "London?" was his answer.

Question for physicists: quantum mechanics is full of things like <Ψ|A|Ψ> for the expected value of observable A in state Ψ. But, how do you pronounce this while speaking? Just “Psi A Psi”, ignoring brackets, and hope that’s clear from context?
