The best is coming. Amen....

kennyjam:



Abi...I thank God, to Him be all the glory.

Thanks man

kennyjam:





@kenny4lyf and others concerned.

To God be the Glory!!!

I got 4.95 GPA. Better is not good enough, the best is yet to come. It can only get better by God's grace.
Thanks all.

Beware of fraudsters.

We sure are aware of fraudsters but why did you add 419 to your moniker?

thankyouJesus:
All yours are taken, thank you all.

Kindly state what you meant by the above. Thanks!

Icosahedron:



A first class degree ought not be the ultimate goal.

When we decided to aim for first class, the reason is plain and simple: to provide a solid foundation for those of us who wishes to continue in any branch of applied mathematics, statistics or engineering of choice in the future. The world is a beneficiary of the excellence that Bill Gate (Microsoft's founder) aimed for in his father's garage today. So, don't try to dissuade or discourage us from our goals 'cus it is for the benefit of mankind. The average African/Nigerian mentality is to go to school so that they can get a job, build a family and stuff, it's never about the intention to make our continent/country a better place through science and technology. So please, shelf that notion of "A first class degree ought not be the ultimate goal" it's a stale excuse for mediocres. Thanks!

Kenny4lyfe:

'cus it doesn't guarantee a job right?
Wrong! This is one reason why we dish out professional mediocres in our tertiary institutions.
It's like telling a secondary school students who aspires to study medicine not to make getting A's in his core-science subjects his ultimate goals. Imagine a jambite who applied to study law yet he didn't plan to score high in Literature, Government and History?
Have you ever been to the fruit market without the intention to buy the best?

Who cares about employment bro? You should channel your energy towards understanding mathematics from a very broad perspective and not worry about first class.
Since you want first class too bad, I shall challenge you with a Geometry problem. Note that this problem is not advanced, I am a jambite and I solved using both Geometry and Trigonometry (2 solutions).


Problem: In triangle ABC, AB = BC(hence the triangle is isosceles), the angle bisector of A and B meets BC and AC in D and E respectively, let I be the incenter of triangle ADC, given that angle BEI = 45°. Find all possible values of angle BAC.

Provide your solution with diagrams.

Kenny4lyfe:

Dear edulanders, lol!

I'm currently running a Bsc.Ed Math program in a Nigerian University with the aim of making a first class. I'm in my first year and currently preparing for 2nd semester resumption.

I'd appreciate if someone could help me with textbooks (both online and printed) to help me prepare for my 2nd semester.


Eep me please....

My 2nd semester courses are:

1. Edu 111- Foundations of Education
2. Edu 122- Developmental Psychology
3. Edu 152- Introduction to Educational Technology
4. STA 132- Inference

Others are:

MTH 102- Elementary Mathematics II
MTH 103- Elementary Mathematics III

I can handle the GSTs

Thanks in anticipation!

kenny please add,me up on whatsapp lets talk am also in maths dept with same mind set of urs currently in 200l add up lets discuss please 07016900972

Ok. I'm currently not on What'sApp as my current device is a stone (i.e. not internet enabled). I have saved your contact anyway and will notify you the moment I'm back on What'sApp. Thanks!

My advice to you is to go and work on gaining admission. You can't just come here and flex your supposed geometric mastery. If you're not interested in making a first class or something close to it? Fine! GET OFF MY THREAD!!! Your presence here is a converse of our purpose! Thank you!

9jageekz:




Little did I know we still have mediocre like this, did anyone call for contest. this is an easy question. but, I will not stoop low in solving and flexing my mathematical prowess here on NL.

All because an unknown human behind a keyboard sunk is his illusion wants us to know he has been practising some geometry.

Bro you need to cut this BS.. #Peace

My brother, them boku for nairaland!
They are like a variable that is neither monotonic-increasing nor monotonic-decreasing. One can never predict what they tends to.
Funny enough, if these "nut-jobs" on real exam situation they tend to flop because of "oversabi".
So sad!

Like I said earlier, you don't take the tree for the forest. There is a reason Asia and Europe and countries in the Eastern blocs are light years ahead of Africa in STEM science, There is a reason why the greatest Geometer are mostly from Russia, there is a reason the world most renowned Number Theorists are mostly from Germany. I have so much to say but I'm too lazy to type. But I do suggest you forget about first class and focus on your studies, Try to solve Putnam problems (especially Analysis, Geometry and Number Theory), this would broaden your Mathematical insight and give you a better overview of Mathematics in general.

Kenny4lyfe:


OK


Since you're such an expert in 'not taking the tree for a forest',

Let the statements 'taking the tree for a forest'=P, gaining admission in a Nigerian university=Q and icosahedron minding his own business=W then,

Given y=f(icosahedron)= icosahedron·{~P} then,



Limit y=f(icosahedron)= icosahedron· {~P} =Q as the variable icosahedron → W (icosahedron approaches W)


Dude what do you think I'm doing with my time as I set my target for a first class in my course of choice? Bribing lecturers and attending slumber parties?
Most of the Maths topics you spoke of above are part of my courses for subsequent semesters in school {Numerical Analysis, Real Analysis, Metric Space Topology et al}

Why do you think Nigerian students go and study abroad only to make a first class without breaking a sweat? Abi why are folks always complaining that our university curriculum (Sciences mostly) comprises of much theory with little or no practical.

Will you stop taking Panadol for the headaches of others?

Your approach at offering advice on this thread was wrong. You charged in riding on your horse. You even went ahead to shoot yourself in the foot by saying you just wrote JAMB and you're awaiting admission.

What I have on this thread are scholars in their various universities motivating and helping each other to achieve our common goal.

Do you even know the calibre of the lecturers teaching me?

Guy you pissed me off and I forgive you. But if you continue like this I will report you to the mods.

Keep your ~P to yourself, if you must remain on this thread, 'humble yourself and learn'


We are already doing enough of problem-set-solving on campus and at home respectively. If you want a thread of ~P folks like you, why not create one?
Haba!

Icosahedron:



Words are wasted on you.

Sadly the converse is the case.

Hi everyone,
This is to inform everyone on this thread that a thread I previously created for the purpose of raising funds for my school fees has been closed as it's no longer needed. I will not... I repeat, I WILL NOT respond to any replies, mentions or the likes whatsoever irrespective of the poster from here on out. Thanks for following!

I can see the aforementioned has now been officially closed by the mods. Good job @Fynestboi @Seun
@Richiez @olawalebabs
I am now online y'all! @kennyjam lets connect on WhatsApp again. Any other interested party to the WhatsApp platform should kindly drop their numbers. Those with preference for email should contact me on hindero22@hotmail.com! Thank you Lord Jesus! Thanks all! I'll post by CGPA soon!

Good luck with your plan. Just don't go too wide.

Ask those who came close what they would have done if they were to start all over again.

BEd is tough. Take courses from science and then take from education, not easy.

When you achieve your aim, send me an email again. With a first class in math edu, and the help of the Lord, I can place you into a university of your choice. Think Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, MIT. And yes, I mean it.

So, go fight like a lion and achieve your goals.
