Degree in magic to be offered at University of Exeter

Sign up for a scam. Oh Yea.

I think it would be better to be caught up in a phone scam.

At least you did not do it purposely, to your self.

calculus, algebra, a whole bunch of stuff I cant even describe, the hardest bit so far is learning how to write mathematical proofs, the specific language of maths is really deep and tough to get to grips with

Are you refering to the logic laws/mathematical proof (reductio ad absurdum/proof by contradiction), how to come up with promising axioms or the various weird notations used (notations unique to each field such as Markov Chains)?

There's a good reason it took over 350 pages to prove 1+1 = 2 in Principia Mathematica - true mathematical proof is painfully complex (Principia is essential reading and pretty much a dictionary/thesaurus for maths).

I did a BSc in Applied Maths myself, tutored for a while and happy to offer course notes and advice via PM. The first two years are a brutal pace but it all starts properly clicking in 2nd year.

Have a brain inujry myself (rhs) but maths is the only area not affected for some reason - it's certainly a good way of keeping the grey matter working but a very suprisingly steep learning curve learning how complex seemingly simple proofs can be.

That sounds really interesting, because for me such a topic has always been interesting, but it still doesn't sound like a real program. What can a student do after graduation? Maybe I need to read about the program more attentively to understand the prospects, but I think I'd never choose to have such a major. I study finance, which is not as interesting as magic, because I face a lot of difficulties, sometimes I need to use the help of edubirdie.com... when it's time to write such papers because it's so hard for me. But I think that after graduation I'll have some good perspectives, and with a degree in magic it can be not that easy.

In my country, unless you study to be an engineer, hardly any university course prepares you for work. And even if you get the required knowledge, it can still turn out you're not suitable for the job. I studied thinking I would be a teacher but later it turned out it's not my cup of tea at all. One more thing is that many students don't know what kind of job they would like to have. You can study out of pure interest only (if you can afford it). Not everything has to revolve around a job.

Magic studies? Sure, why not. I would wish though to study practical magic, kinda like in Harry Potter. It would solve many life problems. Hate cleaning my home? No problem. I would wave my magic wand. Some people are annoying? No problem. Avada Kedavra. Or I would do with changing them into frogs.
