  I think the step I am worst at is not the “what am I being asked” step, but the “now that I know what I’m being asked, which formulas/​ rules/​ concepts am I allowed to use here” step.

  I can concentrate for long amounts of time. A bigger problem is physical restlessness. I use a whiteboard to keep myself standing and moving, which seems to make it easier. My handwriting sucks, so it also lets me be a bit more neat.

  My math teacher in Hs thought I may be dyslexic, I tend to think of problems backwards and to solve 4-1 by computing 3+1, for example. I do have some trouble with directions, but nothing too debilitating.

  Ok, I’ll keep that in mind. I definitely intend to expand my horizons.

  No, no aversion, although I sometimes feel initially overwhelmed when I see many symbols. I was one of the quickest in the class in elementary school. Didn’t like or appreciate math or science in hs even though I was in the advanced group, so part of my problem stems from poor fundamentals.

  Hi, I am taking a course in Existentialism. It is required for my degree. The primary authors are Sartre, de Bouvoir and Merleau-Ponty. I am wondering if anyone has taken a similar course, and how they prevented material from driving them insane (I have been warned this may happen). Is there any way to frame the material to make sense to a naturalist/​ reductionist?

  One of the things I’m considering is a joint math/​ comp sci degree. Thanks for the suggestion.

  Here are two links to Canadian programs. I have never seen an analogous one in the States.

  (Sorry for the urls… Is there a code or button to link things in text?)
