Induced Homomorphism

I'm a second year graduate student studying mathematics, which allows me to hate math more intensely than most people.

Math!

The new semester is starting, and I'm getting really excited because I'm about to be a TA for the first time. I spoke with the course instructor today, and I'm reassured that things will go well. In addition to being a nice guy who seems to care about his students, he gave me a bit of a speech about how it's okay for me to be nervous about TAing for the first time, and even he gets nervous after 40 years of teaching, and that if I ever have a problem with a student to tell him so he or the department head can take care of it. Although I am a bit nervous (who wouldn't be), I'm sure things will be absolutely fine and don't really need such a speech - but it's nice to know that I'm working with someone who really cares about the students...and me :-)

    Good luck! I'm sure you'll do fine. The nerves will be gone before the end of your first class :)
