]]>x¹² is eventually taken over 2^x. You can see this by comparing their derivatives. It happens at a fairly high number, but none the less, it happens. And when it does, there is a third intersection.
What was your score on the test? Did you graduate yet?
Also, when should one take the GRE subject test? Junior or Senior?
]]>When I entered college I came with the idea of doing a Double Major in Math and CS but some of the classes that are required for the CS major I simply hate which require public speaking, presentations etc. So I decided to drop the CS major and actually just minor in it which doesnt require any of the useless extra classes so Im hoping to do a math major and cs minor.
You mentioned about getting into a a Phd program right after you graduate. I have similar ideas but also a lot of doubts since I dont know if one must first get a MS and then a Phd or just get the Phd straight. Whats the best route in your opinion?
Im currently attending FIU here in Miami and I would love to go to UM (University of Miami) for Graduate School. I was researching a bit and it shows that if you apply for the Phd and request financial assistance they give you a tuition waiver for 18 credits (each credit costs $1300 so you do the math ) and also an stipend ranging from 15-17k for being a Teaching Assistance. That would be so PERFECT for me. They also dont require the GRE Math subject test but I think im still gonna take it just to see how im doing. Lets see what happens. As of right now I would love to go to UM's Grad School but then again im just a freshman.
Heres a post I made about it:

Been nice talking to you Ricky.
]]>Anyways, by knowing your taking the GRE I would assume you are an undergrad student, right? By looking at some of your posts I actually expected you to hold a Phd in math or something because you seem very knowledgeable. What college you going to?
]]>But while I was taking the test, ever time I looked up when thinking over a problem, I noticed that the proctor was very frequently looking straight at me. I have a tendency to let my eyes wander while I think, to make weird gestures with my hands, or even talk to myself unconsciously. So I was thinking that she thought I was cheating or perhaps distracting others. It wasn't until 3 or so minutes before the exam ended that I turned around and noticed there was a clock behind my head! She was just watching the clock... not me.
]]>But, 2/3.
]]>Plus, I'll be taking Real Analysis, Complex Analysis, Topology and Geometry, and Advanced Discrete Mathematics all next semester, so I figure by October I'll know more about some of the more advanced questions on there.
