7/10/20 Update to the Change to the Schedule change for the next few live streams

debbie · Jul 9, 2020, 7:44 AM

Thank you to everyone who attends the live streams and is enjoying them! Thanks also to those who expressed support for his live streams and for his projects. Prof. Loh really loves doing the live streams and doesn't intend to stop them, and we really enjoy moderating them and interacting with everyone.

Prof. Loh has an unprecedented amount of work related to MOP (the Math Olympiad Program) in the next few weeks which will unfortunately interfere with the normal live stream times.

In particular, there will be no Saturday live streams for the next few weeks.

Here are the times for the next few live streams:

Friday, July 17 at 4:00 p.m. EST

Friday, July 24 at 4:00 p.m. EST

Friday, July 31 at 4:00 p.m. EST

The live stream will hopefully return to a more regular schedule after MOP ends, and in the meantime, thanks for your patience with waiting for these updates!

@debbie said in Schedule change for the next 5 live streams:

Friday, June 10 at 4:00 p.m. EST

Did you mean Friday, JULY 10 at 4:00 p.m. EST?

debbie · Jul 9, 2020, 11:45 AM

@RZ923 Yes, thanks and sorry for the typo!

debbie · Jul 9, 2020, 7:57 PM

Apologies for the confusion, but Prof. Loh has to change the Wednesday July 15 live stream to Thursday, July 16 instead. We really hope that you can still make it! Thanks for reading!

I've never actually listened to his live streams before (at least not live), but I'm planning on listening tomorrow

Do you mean "amount" of work?

debbie · Jul 10, 2020, 4:58 PM

@Potato2017 Yes, thanks for noticing!

debbie · Jul 10, 2020, 9:24 PM

Sorry for the schedule changes, but it looks like a MOP event just got planned, so we'll have to move the Thursday live stream to Friday, July 17 for next week. Thanks so much for your patience; have a great day!

For the next three weeks while MOP is in session, live streams will be once a week on

Friday, July 17, 2020, 4:00-5:00 p.m. EST.
Friday, July 24, 2020, 4:00-5:00 p.m. EST
Friday, July 31, 2020, 4:00-5:00 p.m. EST

Thanks so much for your support and for watching; have a great day!

So once a week? waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

debbie · Jul 12, 2020, 5:02 PM

@The-Rogue-Blade Yes, it's because Prof. Loh is running the MOP (Math Olympiad Program) camp right now, online, through the month of July. He teaches classes and runs seminars and panel meetings. On top of that, he's also working on NOVID. He loves to do the live streams, though, which is why he hasn't canceled them entirely. Please stick around, and the live streams will pick up again starting in August. Thank you for asking!

The Blade Dancer · Jul 12, 2020, 6:12 PM

He's busy for sure. Do you think Prof. Loh could teach coding classes, by the way? I'm just curious.

debbie · Jul 12, 2020, 6:15 PM

@The-Rogue-Blade If there is enough interest for such a class, Prof. Loh might consider making one! We are actually diving into making a new class specially about the math that Prof. Loh used for making his NOVID app. It's going to be a one-of-a-kind class, combining all topics under the theme of fighting COVID-19. It will be out within the next few weeks.

The Blade Dancer · Jul 12, 2020, 6:17 PM

Coding would be really useful though. Or maybe I just want to learn.

debbie · Jul 13, 2020, 1:11 AM

@The-Rogue-Blade I will send this request along Thank you for this recommendation!
