    The lady you mentioned probably _insisted_ that the answer was zero and that was her doom. I'm sure she was given every opportunity to reconsider; I doubt these committees are out to fail people. Get some rest and good luck. You're prepared and used to giving presentations since you teach.

    Good luck! I got my Ph.D. a couple years ago but I’ll say, unless your committee is overly hardcore and won’t except too much, I made a couple mistakes during my candidacy exam but overall I passed. Just do your best through the questioning but they’re really there to see if you can problem solve well, handle difficult situations, and ensure you’re making strides into being an expert.

    This is a lot different than my oral exam in chemistry. There were 2 parts to present, my research and an original research proposal. No notes, and they basically could ask anything. The committee was 4 from the department and one from outside, which we got to choose. It was horribly stressful. I slept for a week after I passed. Also, it wasn’t a forgone conclusion that you would pass. People did not pass and got one other chance. I passed the first time. Whew. 😅
    This is too late but good luck!

    When I did mine in electrical and computer engineering...you knew you would "pass" but the committee did their due diligence to challenge me and I felt like I didn't pass. I realized it was better to just admit that I didn't know something rather than try to make up an answer on the spot. If you have sufficient content in your presentation, any questions you will get will be minimal.

    Good luck! I think you'll be fine. It is in the interest of the school that you pass. I'm certain they have to justify to their funders why they have to fail people at PhD level (as it is seen as a waste of money). They shouldn't be making it super difficult.

      @@einbatixx4874 When you study something in great detail over many years, you can forget the proofs or details of some "basic" things that undergrads regularly learn. Forgetting one of the definitions of 'e' is not some terrible crime. Especially when you have to recall it during a verbal exam when you don't use that definition of 'e' very often.
      It would be very easy for this channel's creator to make every video a lot more difficult for you to follow, and to only consider the hardest problems they know instead of the easiest. As for the comment about education in the US - I would love to know what country you think has a comparable research output to the United States.

      @@normancraytor6749 I still disagree with you on the first paragraph. It is true one might forget basic definitions, but there is a limit to it. Especially since 0 makes no sense more so.
      I guess you are right about the second paragraph. I was definitely too harsh. However I still find it interesting, but whatever.
      On research output one shouldn't forget on the other hand, that the US has the biggest budget by far and is an enormous country to be fair.

      Both are pretty absurd claims, but a none math student would easily see that its bounded below by 1 and possibly mistake the limit for being 1. I just find it kind of ridiculous that a math grad student doesnt recognize e(the limit is e^4 btw).
