The Commencement of Fudan University 2008 is held in Zhengda Sports Center this morning but I had to skip the ceremony for Real Analysis exam. I feel so upset that I had to miss this precious moment for the exam of a course which is not required by my department.
Many people told me that Real Analysis willl have very good impact for later academic career in statistics. But I strongly doubt this now, partly because I finally discovered what one may possibly give up to get such a plus in knowledge structure. And paying too much attention to the mathematical details may even distract a person from seeing statistical problems in a broader view.
After all, I'm not graduated from Fudan until a couple of days later when I finish my Stochastic Process exam.
