>>11151810i'm not petty or projecting at all. no need to make up these narratives in your head. again, merely stating facts which are based on heaps of empirical and inductive evidence.
here's what happened in my undergraduate elementary real analysis class:
- the course was all braindead easy for me and for a few other people in the class who knew what a fucking proof was
- the course was a nightmare for all of the engineering people who thought it would be fun to take le epic fancy math class
- many of them would get 30-40% on exams while i would get around a 94-97%
- they would constantly whine about how the lectures were unclear and disorganized and how the professor was intimidating
- the lectures were totally fine and honestly above average
i'm sure some of those kids still don't get the open cover definition of compactness, lmao.
and here's the kicker: my experience is the same as what i hear from EVERYBODY. every math person i talk to has the same experience in their real analysis class. sure, i bet some of them find it hard, but they don't make it this far into a phd if they do.
so again, not projecting!
