Birthday

So my birthday dinner was a really good one at this steak restaurant, which meant good food. But I hate when restaurants do this: (look at first pic)

New books

So 104 NT and 103 Trig arrived today. Welcome to the family! 102 and 107 haven't yet, but I'll add to this post once they do. (look at second pic) Soooooooo excited. Quick overview:

104 NT:
-Really self-contained
-Starts from very basics, like primes, definition of divisibility, etc. to orders, mods, etc. most of which I've experienced somewhat but the problems can get REALLY tricky (for me, since NT is my kryptonite)

103 Trig:
-Even better than expected, self-contained as well
-Starts from the VERY basics like definition of each trig function, slowly deriving EVERY formula like addition, subtraction, double angle, etc. etc.
-After every formula introduced, includes other great applications like 3D coordinates, applications in Euclidean Geo, to tricky inequalities to things like the nth Chebyshev polynomial
-Like 104, most theory I already know, but the problems look REALLY good
Euclid

Occurred last Wednesday. It was quite different from American problems; I didn't know when to bash and when not to. Knowing that this is a Canadian problem, I eventually gave up finding the "smart" way to do some of them (because based on past experience there probably isn't one), ending up with a lot of UGLY bashes, two of which I didn't finish, so I simply wrote the rest of my solution outline onto the sheet and hope my graders will be lenient. I didn't prepare at all, so I'm not expecting a high score.

Anyways...
