The evening before an exam is always very special. It is crucial to do the correct preparations before the test next morning, not only regarding the subject, but having a good daily rhythm in terms of food and sleep is just as important. Math exams are the toughest, and the five hour time limit passes [...]

The 15th of January. A day long expected and feared by many, since it hosts the largest course final for this semester. Today I finished the course “Envariabelsanalys 1″ (Calculus in one variable, course 1). With great results. I just looked at the solutions and found that I should have about 17-18 points of 21 [...]

Kärin nagged me for not blogging in a long time, and therefore I would like to give a “small” update. Being a M.Sc. student at one of the top national universities, there are certain periods of time when one only has time to do the most essential things such as studying, eating, sleeping, studying and [...]

In the eleventh hour, before which everything in linear algebra had stuck and felt manageable then Pow!, and you listen to a lecture that introduces a ton of new ideas, proofs and formulas to remember. After working for a [...]

Had a small “lunch-leak” in my backpack on the way to school this morning. The noodle and chicken stew found its way out of the lunch box and through a tiny hole in the plastic bag that was supposed to take care of those leaks and out in my bag. Half a deciliter’s worth of [...]

After a while on a blogging hiatus, I have finally returned. School is going great! I have completed my first half-semester and its examination week quite well. I still have not got any results from the exams, but I am very hopeful. Now I am sitting here in my apartment writing these few lines down. [...]

Our course in Linear algebra has been very interesting so far with a new world of mathematics unfolding in front of us. The last lecture dealt with vector spaces and subspaces. The abstraction of polynomials that we just started with this morning seems to be a very powerful way of attacking the problem of solving [...]

I have taken many photos the last week, but since I left the computer cable in Västerås I am unable to download them to my computer. I therefore have no photos to show you. Anyway, I just came home from the “HaYk”, a one-night hike with all new students in the Engineering Physics section. I [...]
