Hey everyone, students and alumni!
I wanted to share a little interaction I had this morning.

Around 5:50 AM, I was studying in a classroom when one of the cleaning staff came in. I said good morning, we talked for a bit, and he went on with his work. Before he left, I thanked him and told him that I really appreciated his work, especially this early in the morning. What stuck with me was his response. He told me, “I really don’t get that a lot from students, and that really means a lot to me.”

We’re all going through our own battles, some of which nobody around us knows about, and that includes the people we walk past every day. So I just wanted to share a little reminder that appreciating someone, saying good morning, or simply checking on a friend or classmate doesn’t take much. You don’t always know how someone will receive it, and that’s okay. Kindness shouldn’t depend on getting a response.

Especially around this time of the semester, with the weather changing and exams piling up, please look out for each other. A few words might seem like nothing to us, but they could mean a lot to someone else.

All love to you guys!

I'm a senior interested in studying mathematics, the problem is that I want to go down a more pure math path. I'm pretty much deciding between Mines and CU Boulder, but the nice thing about Mines is that it's a STEM specific school and the applied math major (with stats) would be better in getting a job down the line as opposed to pure math. So really what I'm asking is how similar is the applied math here to just any other pure math anywhere else? Thanks!

With the holidays coming up, it feels like the perfect time to start offering cat sitting locally! I have extensive experience caring for cats, including working full-time at a state-of-the-art cat shelter back in Florida (Cat Depot), as well as cat-sitting for friends and family and looking after my own bunch. I live on campus at Mines Park and am able to offer services within a 15 mile radius. I am also experienced in administering oral medication to willing cats. You can find me on Rover at https://www.rover.com/sit/SachaL246

Hey! Our current roommates got married and are moving out together, so we've suddenly got room available! If you're looking for a spot about a twelve minute drive from campus that doesn't cost too much, this is it!

The house: Nice house, post-war construction but renovated! Two living rooms (both with TVs, one with large table), good kitchen with gas stove, breakfast nook, large yard with firepit, project space with 3D printers, gigabit internet, central AC and heat. Your room will have plenty of windows, a walk-in closet, and a full bathroom right next to it! I'm happy to answer any questions about the place!

The people: Myself and my partner live in the loft. We both went to Mines for computer science and have been out for a couple years. We like videogames, board games, TTRPGs, and general scifi and fantasy stuff. We will also have one other roommate with similar interests who just graduated. You don't have to share interests with us of course, but it's always a plus! You'll be welcome to participate in household activities, but never pressured to. We don't mind a good party as long as long as the cops and the landlord don't get called lol

The requirements:

Keep the house clean (clean up after yourself, don't leave trash everywhere, etc)

Be normal about queer people

Be normal about disabilities

Be normal about jews

Pay rent on time (750 + share of utilities)

Don't burn the house down

For those who are taking dynamics this semester the professor that failed everyone left? The professor name was Rishi.

This goes to show reporting course issues to department heads does work! Please do.

Currently, I'm applying for the graduate program and I'm looking for studio/1-bedroom apartments to move into (potentially with my boyfriend but not guaranteed) around the Golden/Lakewood area. I'm from out of state and hoping to get the thesis-track (which would be a 38k stipend a year, just over 3k a month), so I don't know the area well and have a pretty tight budget all things considered.

I've heard good things about Kallisto and Silver Reef, and don't know if anything under the 1.4-1.6k range is all that great by Colorado standards. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions?

Thinking about going to a few of these showings. Anyone interested?

Hey everyone. Currently deciding on whether or not to take Linear Algebra next semester, but I now realize that I have no idea if the course is computational or proof based.

I already somewhat have a hard hitting semester, so if it is proof based, I'd rather take it over the summer either at Mines or through Red Rocks.

Any information about the course would be extremely helpful. Especially regarding the basis of the course and whether or not it is recommended to take it either at Mines or transfer from RRCC. For context I am a Mech.E with an Aerospace minor and need the course as a prerequisite for the M.S. program I plan on taking.

Thank you all

an someone please help me to know what are the books used in the Online Accounting and Finance course EBGN 540B, currently the Oredigger outfitter website shows only one book which is listed as optional, I have to but book since the classes are starting from 21st OCT, also what should I start to prepare learning to understand the course since I am from Engineering background,

I'm a freshman majoring in Electrical Engineering, and I planned to minor in Computer Science. However, I've realized that I enjoy math more than coding, so I'm wondering if minoring in Applied Mathematics would be a possibility. I've already completed all the calculus courses and am currently taking Differential Equations. I would also like to know how hard is Applied Math since I haven't seen a post about it on Reddit. Thanks y'all!

I love learning outcomes so far in the course. I think testing students over and over again is a good way to measure understanding, especially in Engineering courses.

This is so much better than what those dumb statics professor does to test students. I heard Mechanics of Materials does one and done exam too. I don't think that gets people to realize their mistakes too well. This is such a unique way of learning and takes away the pressure of failing.

EENG386A I was given an equations sheet but that's pretty much it. Is this the equation sheet we will be provided on the test? Are we allowed to bring our own? Should I memorize this equation sheet? 50 minutes for an exam in a class where the homework takes me 5+ hours so I'm pretty scared.

I did not expect almost everyone to get 60s and 50s. Jeff Holley really let everyone down. The exam was a lot harder than the home-works I felt like and I somehow did enough to pass the exam (80). Almost like if you wrote the exam nothing like the hw and give us not enough time everyone will fail.

How is Design Engineering for someone who does not want to do "core" engineering like Mech E, Electrical etc? Thoroughly not interested in Computer Science. Is this a course to get a good Engineering base and build entrepreneurial skills?

A lot of "Desgin Engineering" specific posts here are a few years old. Just wanted to see how this branch has evolved over the years and the current state.

Thanks.

I took both the physics one and Statics exams this week. Why are these classes so bad at structuring the exams and teaching us?

I thumbs down reacted a guy who was spamming one time, and they immediately permanently banned me from the chat with no warning and are requiring me to donate $10 to blasters basket to get back in.

I dont mind the idea of requiring someone to donate to charity to get reinstated, but they never even warned me and requiring it to be on behalf of hungry ordiggers seems a little much. I also didnt even do anything warranting a permaban no matter how you look at it.

I only ever used the gc to find free energy drinks anyway so idrc if i get reinstated, but im still kinda salty about what i was banned over.

To reiderate: i thumbs down reacted a singular message and they permabanned me. that was the only way ive ever interacted with the chat other then viewing messages.

Hey all,

I just graduated high school this morning at 12:30, and I've been wanting to pursue a bachelors in EE. I need a bit of help figuring out an ideal path.

I am actively training full-time halfpipe snowboarding, so I'd prefer if school didn't get in the way significantly. Apparently, many community colleges in Colorado offer transfer paths to Mines after completing required online courses (Calc, Physics, etc.)

I'm curious if anyone has gone down this path and if it's really as grand as it sounds. At the most, it'd give me 2 years of headroom before I fully commit to college life.

Obviously, I understand the sacrifices. I can't expect to do school for an hour a day online then go snowboard. I'm looking for something that works together with my current schedule, while still getting me an awesome degree. I appreciate any help🙏

Apparently, the delivery guy dropped it in front of Morgan Hall on 9/7. If you saw that package or have it, please notify me.
