    Yeah I don't doubt. For me in my final year I took the 'interesting' courses - abstract theoretical stuff - and some 'useful' courses, like decision maths, financial principles etc. whereas the two years leading up to it had been more general, things like real/complex variable theory, symmetry and groups, linear algebra, blah-de-blah.

    Then masters was some finance stuff, so pretty trival maths, but also stochastic calculus, more advanced stats (I hate stats), numerical methods for estimating a solution to an insoluble SDE etc. that kind of thing.

    Took Honors Theoretical Differential Equations as a freshman. Impressive sounding course. Wouldn't recommend it haha.

    Liner/Matrix Algebra was much more useful. Though the end of the class started to get pretty Theoretical and more difficult.

  • Oh, and thus has been my experience with the calc numbers

    Calc 1 (equivalent of AP Calc AB) - Beginning calc stuff. Deferentiating

    Calc 2 (equivalent of AP Calc BC) - Adds in Integrals and other stuff. Maybe series? Don't remember. Weed out course for engineering at University

    Calc 3 - Multi Variable

    Calc 4 - Diffy Q's

    So we should vote based on land mass?

    So we should keep our electoral college (which we will anyway...It's not going anywhere)

  • Look, in order to abolish the electoral college 38 states would have to agree with that. Of those 38 states 33 or more would instantly become irrelevant in terms of say that they had. And that, as they say, is that.

    Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

  • I don't want to debate whether or not something could happen, but whether it should. "It could never change" isn't an argument for th EC

  • It should not happen. Pure Democracy devolves into mob rule pretty quickly.

  • Maybe proportionally awarded electoral votes.

    I think that would make more sense

  • I don't remember any whining about the electoral college during obaMao's Reign of Terror....

  • It doesn't matter who wins, the system seems out dated. A discussion of it isn't whining

    Is the Senate outdated as well? For instance should Ohio have more senators than Wyoming?

    umm.. Woody?

    "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector."

    :neutral_face:

  • I'm advocating for breaking up the EC votes from each state based on the number of votes a candidate got there.

    10 total votes. 60% Trump. 40% Clinton then 6 for Trump, 4 for Clinton.

    This still means someone's vote in a small state counts for more, but it's closer to a popular vote.
