These few days have been characterised by exercises all the way!
Among these, those that I spent in the library have been the best days so far. I don’t like weekends much because campus is closed and it feels boring to stay at home.
Highlights:
I’ve met some people during study breaks
I tried out the university canteen
I’m really motivated to achieve my goals����🏽
ps. at one point, I couldn’t find the pizza box anymore; it had ended up under my books… 🤦🏽♀️
In less than a week I’ve got the electromagnetism exam coming up.
I still need to start doing exercises because I want to grasp the theory thoroughly first. However, sometimes it takes me a whole day to understand a topic… like today when I’ve spent the entire morning studying magnetic fields in cavities and I’m still not satisfied!
I spent the morning doing something else, and after lunch, I decided to head to the university to study. Well, it took me an hour to find a study room/library that wasn’t crowded! Eventually, I found a spot in the cold, but after an hour, I gave up and studied at home. 🤦🏽♀️
Today I was hoping to get up early, but last night I stayed up late reading, so my day started in a rush.
This morning I dusted, did laundry, cooked, etc 🥵
After lunch I watched some recorded lectures and tried to study a lot, but my mind was sometimes elsewhere…
Anyway, I can’t figure out if I’m an early bird or a night owl… I love the morning and the energy it gives me, but I realise my brain lights up in the evening when I don’t feel like going to bed because I have so many ideas in my head, and working illuminated only by my little yellow lamp relaxes me too much.
Making this video made me realise how much can change in a short time, and how quickly we evolve.
For me, this year kicked off in the summer, when I felt stronger and braver. I finally took control of my life, changed plans, and embarked on new adventures.
Now, as I enter the new year, I want to keep in mind all the hard earned achievements:
I’ve set off to head back home for the Christmas holidays. I’ll miss my study space and my room, but I’m excited to spend some of this break at home. ☕️
This is a very simple way to calculate the value of pi. It's based on the ratio between the area of a unit circle and the area of the square that encloses it; this is equal to pi/4, so it's easy to derive the value of pi.
Translated into code, all you need to do is generate enough random numbers and count how many "fall" inside the circle: the ratio of these to the total number of points generated will tend towards pi/4 as more points are generated!
In the figure on the left, you can see graphically what I mentioned above, while on the right, you can see how close you can get to the true value of pi with a few simulations in which I generated a few thousand random numbers each time. However, despite the proximity to the true value, the value I managed to calculate was accurate only up to the second decimal place… This method remains a rather naive one!
I challenge you to try to recreate it; it's very simple! I did it in Python, but you can use any programming language ;)
