FACKers,

Black pants with brown shoes: yay or nay?

no

yes

i didn't even know it was an unthing.

very much nay

black pants close to a nay by themself

lol

Definitely a no

wat

was wondering about that too, since i wore black pants today

I don't think black pants are a particularly good look (sans true formal wear). One of those things, like wearing a tie with no jacket.

black pants are beyond fine to throw in once a week. even twice if you have more than one pair. just don't be a dolt and wear them with brown shoes/belt or baggy as ****

lot of wats on this page. need fashion expert dean to clarify all the rules and taboos.

Black pants are good in a black on black football uniform and going to funerals

hmm, like gusjohnsongoat said the 201 course sounds a bit like a discrete math class (did you guys do combinatorics?). the listed concepts pop up all over the place, so it's correct to say said concepts pervade upper level math. still, it's possible that the treatment of the topics obscured the connection, or that it was taught in such a way that the previous course wasn't actually necessary. . .


even at the multivariable level many people learn calc in a way that appears unrelated to sets and the like, but still makes meaningful use derviatives and what not. similarly, i am not surprised that the 201 course wasn't useful for the the methods course appeared unrelated-- it's a methods course after all. i'm a little surprised by your inclusion of the vector analysis course, but analysis means different things to different people. what did you do in the class? but yeah all these topics often emphasize computations/operations, esp if you are interested in the applications, in which case foundations tend to fall by the wayside.


i'd guess a lot of the 201 course's value comes via direct exposure to mathematical reasoning that many people, including good math students, don't get before college and reasoning that isn't always exercised in classes that are heavy on computations and what not. so the payoff of the course may not strictly be in the form of procedural knowledge (e.g. learning to integrate/differentiate), but also in the form of "proper thought."


this type of mathematical reasoning is essential as courses in the foundation/analysis of math are naturally more abstract and proof heavy. it's natural to math, but not natural to the way most people learn math, and thus many people--predictably--stagnate. that's troublesome, but such struggles are to be expected to some extent. there's a learning curve, not to mention that a lot of the content is more difficult. at least as troublesome is the inability to draw the connections b/t the abstractions and their applications, which is an indictment of the math education system. it's not a wonder that many people find the rigorous math to be unimportant, as it seemingly bears no resemblance to any of the math they have learned.


i'm rambling/ranting at this point and wrote a fair amount so cliffs:

i think there's a good reason that the course description is stated the way it is. it's meant to prepare you for higher level stuff, but in particular for analyzing the foundations. i wouldn't say everyone needs to learn this stuff by any means but someone does need to know it (e.g. you want to differentiate/integrate, but do you know the function behaves nicely?), hence my comment about someone needing to know how the tool was created/how it works.

beyond fine as in most people won't give a ****? sure. look great or be in good taste? less so.



i would also add waiting tables or being a security guard

Black shoes, belt, and socks with black pants. Colored socks are ok if they're not navy or brown.

I kind of like black pants sometimes, and those ones with the pinstripes. Also like how I look with a tie w/ no jacket. Sometimes you have to take your jacket off for various reasons as well. Do people itt not take off their jacket and/or think they look much worse w/o the jacket on?

Pecking order when seeking fashion advice:

1. European chicks
2. European gays
3. North American chicks
4. European guys
5. North American gays
-
-
-
6. North American straight guys

(#3 & #4 are interchangeable)

*I came to this conclusion just these past two weeks, when I hung out with over 30 friends and family members from Europe

fyp

please tell me more how something like this (with a belt obv) is not in good taste. specifically with a solid blue shirt. especially once every week or two.



i'll hang up and listen

Taking off your jacket is fine, at a restaurant, at the office for example. Carrying it over your arm or whatever is fine too. But I would never leave the house in a shirt and tie without a jacket.

seriously?

I'm picturing AJ rocking out a pair of black pinstriped pants with some Timbs, and I'm digging it

1. Formality. Black is for the evening (or mourning, as DKGO said). The classic morning suit jacket is an exception (though worn with grey trousers).

2. It just doesnt look good. Sucks the colour out of you, and is hard to match. I think the charcoal version looks better.

Also, lol Banana Republic.
