Yesterday I received 3 packages in the mail. Two of them I was very happy to see, but 1 of them was not too high on my excitement list. I received the second controller and TV adapter cord for my "new" super nintendo. The third package was Fundamental Methods of Mathematical Economics by Alpha C. Chiang. This book is so highly regarded in the PhD world of economics, that is simply referred to as "The Chiang Book." It's crazy how many times I've been asked if I've started working out of the Chiange book. So Chapters 1 & 2 weren't bad, especially since Chapter 1 was just 4 pages long! The only downside is that the text only gives selected answers to the problems, so now I'm on the hunt for a solutions manual.
I've also completed Lesson 18 today for MIT OpenCourseWare Single Variable Calculus. We talked about Definite Integrals today, nothing too fancy, yet. I'm crusing through this, and looking forward to moving onto Multi-variate calculs, followed by Linear Algebra. Why am I doing this to myself again? Oh yea, I want to teach.
I also got a letter today about orientation, and it's a week long event. I think that's one of the few things I'm looking forward to this summer. It also mentioned two other textbooks I should start reviewing. Oh, did I mentioned I still have a class left in my MBA program. Fun stuff.
