Out of curiosity, what is considered advanced calculus over there?
I knew there was something wrong with mathematics!!!
If by “there” you mean the US, then this is what is meant by advanced calculus.
If anyone is curious about my background, it really hasn’t changed much from when I entered the biography for my profile earlier this year.
in terms of my salary, it is far from 6 figures.
I’m trying to get certified as an actuary but if I fail I’m going to apply for econ grad school. Those who can’t do, teach. What programs are you aiming for?
Wow, yah I hear that being getting certified to be an actuary can be hella-hard. good luck!!!
I edited my post. I don’t want to say what schools I’m applying to just yet. I figure it might work like wishes, if you say them out loud they won’t come true. 
I’ll just say that John List is one of my heros and he went to Wyoming.
lol, better than this John List:

I was perplexed for a second
lol that was exactly why i posted the wiki link myself. just in case someone thought i meant the more notorious John List.
Too bad that is measuring the perimeter, not Pi.
Pi is defined to be the perimeter of a circle with a diameter of 1.
Too bad that is measuring the perimeter, not Pi.
Its not measuring the perimeter of the circle but rather the perimeter of the square inscribed with the circle. The value of this perimeter is always 4 times the diameter of the circle. PI has nothing to do with it. In this case the diameter is 1 therefore the perimeter of the square inscribed with the circle is 4.
Mind you… here is a way to involve PI : if the the diameter was pi then the perimeter of the square inscribed with the circle is 4pi.
The limit of this process is a “diamond” shape, not a circle.

That image cracks me up. Is that supposed to be serious?
No it’s not serious, thus the troll-face.
This is a tad off-topic but I just wanted to point out that that image in the OP? GREATEST THING EVER.
That is all.
Student, when you become an academic economist, will you be like those who quietly commit themselves to work and research?
Or will you be one of those public educator types or public intellectual types who writes newspaper columns, holds seminars, debates famous people in public, interviews on television,.etc?
Will you be a Milton Friedman/Friedrich Hayek/Paul Krugman person who writes political treatises and comments on a broad range of issues outside his specialisation or will you be more committed to developing theory?
Will you accept or reject a Sveriges Riksbank prize if you were ever nominated for it?
Questions, questions, questions for you, an aspiring graduate student!
I disagree. I think it converges to a circle. But I have no exact calculations. What would that diamond shape be?
