10 Steps to completing a mathematical proof

1) Read the proposition and immediately give up, leaving your desk.
2) Fifteen minutes later return to your desk ashamed of yourself. This theorem will not defeat you. You are stronger than it.
3) Quickly realize that the theorem is much stronger than you are.
4) Key smash followed by the QED symbol. Beautiful.
5) Frantically press backspace.
6) Begin writing the proof and stop after you’ve restated the givens. A good start. That deserves a thirty minute break.
7) Question your major briefly before realizing that you’re a third year and it’s too late to switch now.
8) Give up and go to bed.
9) Wake up at 4:30AM, a full proof in your head.
10) Forget the whole proof by the time you reach your keyboard, unsure if you're smart only in your dreams, and repeat steps (1)-(7) the following morning.
11) (Optional) Write something, anything—a quick “I’m sorry” is better than nothing—3 minutes before your class starts, just so you’re not the disappointment who turned nothing in.

A review of AMID EVIL, an incredible game you've never heard of from New Blood Interactive.

It’s the start of a new fall semester, and everyone is glad to be back at school. Or are they really? This conflicting thought, I believe, hits everyone’s mind after they complete their summer internship. Like most of the students here I, or rather I would say, we secured an internship for the summer semester. The road leading to an internship was not a smooth one.

Access to mental health services has always been a plus for most college students. It’s commonly agreed that college can wear on one’s mental state of mind. Even without having to worry about exams and future careers, students can have numerous reasons for needing assistance from a counselor or therapist.

It’s the end of summer; Gosh! Time just flew,

Another year would commence; It’s the start of a semester new,

Let’s hope the first day begins with no rain and dew,

Praying for everyone to do their best with problems hardly a few. 

Have you ever walked into a situation while focusing on a completely different task and realized this was exactly what you needed?

How to not be that guy that set off the fire alarm.

Nelly Cheboi is a remarkable person I met while attending StartupWorldCup 2019 at 1871. 1871 is a startup incubator in Chicago that hosts free events that all Illinois Tech students have access to. Cheboi stood out to me from the first time I met her, since it was very rare that I found a woman in backend software development that was passionate about it outside of work. The more I talked to her, I realized her passions were deeper than just software development, she’s a key player in increasing technology accessibility and education in Kenya. I’m going to spend the next few issues covering her story and her non-profit, TechLit Africa (https://techlitafrica.org). This first part introduces her backstory which is essential in establishing what this venture means to her.

With my predecessor Ethan Castro reduced to ash, you may be wondering what’s in store for TechNews this semester.
