SCREAM!
12.09.12 | I can listen to just about anything except hip-hop while studying. Been going through the LotR soudntracks recently to psych myself up for the hobbit |
sideburndude
12.09.12 | Anything without lyrics
jazz fusion works well |
Winsomniac
12.09.12 | post rock. |
Funeralopolis
12.09.12 | find it impossible to listen to anything while studying. |

12.09.12 | i find it impossible to not listen to anything while studying. too boring without muzack |
Keyblade

pwalcher
12.09.12 | DJ Shadow - Endtroducing is great for studying |
toxin.
12.09.12 | I actually listen to anything I want to, yesterday I was jamming T Swift while studying some linear algebra. I'm taking a break but I'll prob put on some post-rock while I read programming in twenty min or so |
pmmets07
12.09.12 | i'm takin linear algebra next semester, how is that shit? |
Acanthus
12.09.12 | Folk and power metal, aka Equilibrium and Blind Guardian. Also a huge fan of the Tron Legacy soundtrack. |
KeithStone582
12.09.12 | I usually either focus on post-rock or an album I practically have memorized. If I am not to familiar with an album it becomes distracting. |
patman1001
12.09.12 | i usually just shuffle my itunes and listen to whatever comes on |
8bit
12.09.12 | Definitely Endtroducing like pawlcher said. It's like you're in a suspense movie, and you're doing something super important while the music plays. I have to stay up all night to study math/biology.. |
pwalcher
12.09.12 | I just can't listen to music with lyrics or I'll sing them instead of study. That's a big reason DJ Shadow has been great for my exams lately. Crystal Castles has muffled lyrics so they're not bad either. (II and III though, I is shitty) |
sixdegrees
12.09.12 | some jazz or post-rock. |
MichaelSnoxall
12.09.12 | I sit at home and don't study because I don't go to school or college. |

deathofasalesman
12.09.12 | listen to instrumental music you've never heard before |

It depends on a few things.
How are you with math? How hard is the course? (e.g., I'm taking Honors LA whereas most engineers just take regular LA. Apparently the difference in the two is huge, and my class is really rigorous and proof-based. My brother's LA class was a watered down econ version though and he breezed through it.)
It's a lot different than calculus. It's related to algebra and geometry, but only tangentially so (pun intended). IMO you can BS your way through the class with an easy prof, but to have a solid understanding, you need to do proofs or other logical reasoning to really get stuff down.
Some things are formulaic like eigenvectors/eigenvalues/determinants but honestly that's only 30% of my class. Most of it is conceptual. But yeah it's definitely highly dependent on you as a student and as a mathematician, as well as on your professor's style |

This. It's nice to have a degree and not worry about the cramming. But I'll probably be going back for another one soon anyway... |

12.10.12 | Skyrim - Atmospheres. I don't need anything else. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1VreyJwMVM |

12.10.12 | Today and last night I listened to Kid A and it was awesome but whatever to be honest. |
demigod93
12.10.12 | used to study to 5 all the time in high school |
Uranium
12.10.12 | yeah radiohead is always a good choice |
FigNewtns
12.10.12 | matrices are an engineers best friend tbh, tho i have never had the time to take an LA class b/c its not a core requirement and i already have a pretty hefty load class-wise. hardest math based class i've taken though by far is probably differential equations which occasionally requires the use of LA. |
KSK1
12.10.12 | Brand New |
Uranium
12.10.12 | yeah i keep hearing diff EQs is so tough. I am finishing up calc II this semester & I want to take diff eqs just to see what all the hype is about. |
