how did you guys do in mathematical proofs?

What he said.
Even if you fail this class, don't stop trying if this is what you want. Proofs require a different kind of mathematical thinking that you have been taught so far. It is my feeling that analysis and advanced calculus is more well-suited for how women think mathematically, but we are taught it too late. Even if you fail this class, it is important. Probably you should take time if you fail and retake it, to reread it between semesters and develop a new relationship to the concepts. Again, this is not like the earlier math at all, but a whole other way of thinking about math.
As far as the professor's sexual charms are concerned, the man in the mirror is smaller than he appears.
Don't distract yourself with the professor, that's a dead end unless you offer him easy sex that takes no effort on his part. Anything you might want, like a relationship or good sex, is stuff those kinds of guys are incapable of. Professors who show sexual interest in students are the ones who are the worst sexually desperate losers in their real lives and who can't get real women their own age. If they could act like men in a relationsihp and knew how to satisfy a woman sexually, they'd go after women who had status and connections and who could help them in their careers.

i just had this exam and i totally failed it. i have ocd and i have a hard time concentrating and also i might have add. i don't listen to lectures most of the time and i think i study things that aren't quire related to the things on the exam. i have hard time studying in general. im on meds and i have a psychiatrist. could it be that im below-average intelligence?
the math prof is someone that i like a lot. i want to date him. i get accomodations from the disability resource center, but i handed in my exam form late, but my prof tried to tell them to overlook the late form and he was saying how it is sh***y of them, they're as*holes, and he's a bit annoyed and pissed off. i thought he would just tell me to write it in class. i think he's being really nice. would i even be able to date him even if i just pass this course? i also failed the last one, but he said he would work out something. taking my other failed exam and not couting this one that i failed lol. he is 15 years older than me, but he's very handsome, slim, witty, humourous, nice, maybe tall, very hot, maybe athletic and sensitive. he is not an aspie at all, but i am. he seems like one of those guys that are extremely intuitive and social.
could it possibly be that he likes me that he's trying to help me even when i handed in the form late? i mean i assume other profs wouldn't even bother about a late form. i told him that i could write it at the department, deferred or just in class. i was thinking that he's trying to help me because i failed my last exam and i went for help a lot recently.

There's a broom somewhere with your name on it. I think you should consider getting a job, not studying.
LOL.

I have NVLD, so I have absolutely atrocious visual-spatial skills. Thus, geometry has always been the bane of my existence. However, I was excellent at the proofs. They were logical, linear, and could be memorized. I thought they were fun, because they were like a puzzle to figure out. I was the only one in my class who was good at them. Luckily, the points I got from the proofs made up for the many points I lost on the actual geometry.

what are some of the topics i should bring up on monday? he's from australia and i was going to ask if he watched autralian open(a tennis event). i don't know if this is too late to bring up. it ended like 2 months ago.
so the fact that im with the disability resource center could be a mystery to him, wondering what my issue is. make him keep wondering regardless of him wondering or not?

I'm far from a relationship coach. I know how to get men for one fabulous night. Beyond that, I'm stuck. My husband is the longest relationship I've been in, and I think that's only because he's undiagnosed Aspergers. Before him though, I probably went through more men than crayola's got colors. Not all sexual, but anyway... So i do know how to get a man and conquer that.
I also know that it's a game, except you are playing with real feelings and real people, including yourself. I'm here to tell you that the fact that you are more concerned about getting a date with this professor than your math grade is a big indicator on how much you are wagering that you get this guy. If he hurts you at all, it's going to really hurt. If he ever tells you he's not interested, then you are probably going to get really depressed. If at all, your best option is to try to back away from those feelings and try very hard to not think about it or he is becoming your Aspie Obsession. I promise you, if he is already an Aspie obsession, then you have to get hurt or get some or you will constantly wonder for the rest of your life. But just know that all the WP responses you get on stay away from this guy are not people talking out of their assets. They are speaking wisdom, but I dated profs before, and I've dated guys I've worked with, worked for, and guys that worked for me. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it got me fired. My husband was a big no in dating. He was six years younger than me, barely legal (age 19 when I met him), and he was in my military squadron meaning we worked together often, but not daily. He worked out well. But the guy I was dating years ago at a job that was my equal was one of the ones that tried to get me fired, and eventually succeeded. So that one didn't work out at all. Sad thing is he still emails me or calls me once in a while asking me to cheat on my husband with him. What a freaking loser. He was also smaller than the small cheap bic lighters, hard. I really did have a hard time finding it, and cause he was slightly overweight, it really was an Austin Powers the blonde girl with Fat Bastard moment, "the sheer mechanics of it are mind boggling." Sad thing, i crushed on him hard core for about a year before we started dating. Now who's the bigger loser? I know, TMI, but i figured it was helpful in what kind of lesson might be taught here.
Anyway, instead of asking about the Australian open, first research it. Know how often it is played, key players, and new statuses on what they might do next. Same with football. Right now, you wouldn't bring up the superbowl, but you would talk about teams trading players, players retiring, and anything current in the news about it. Best place to research is a magazine specifically geared to your topic. In your case, Australian Magazines about tennis. Then bring up what you find in that which is current, like "did you hear that john doe is thinking about retirement?" or "what do you think of jane doe turning down that sponsor?" Don't talk about anything you don't know anything about like you know it. If you want to talk abotu something you don't know much about, then just say, "I've been meaning to get more into that, I've always been curious about it" That's better because it gets him talking about what he does know about, and it gives you insight to something new and stuff about him, and you aren't being fake in the process. Also, if it's something he isn't interested in, then you didn't waste your time learning about it for nothing.
If it were me, actually, I'd probably walk up to him and ask a simple math question. Then after he answers, I'd say something that flowed with the conversation to the effects of, "Wow, you are really good at this math thing. Oh, that's probably why you are the professor." Then I'd laugh and act embarrassed, and then add "are all guys in Australia this good at math or just you?" Then he's going to say something equally as stupid, but if he laughs, then he likes you. If he acts like that was the stupidest thing I've ever heard someone say, then you got your work cut out for you. If he is laughing at that point, then just go with the flow of conversation. If he's seriously flirting, you could almost strategically add, "are all guys in Australia as good looking as you?" But only if the situation makes you feel comfortable saying it. Now, if he's offended by your stupidity on the other hand, then you have to make up for it there or it will be the first impression type thing. I would probably say, "well I just wondered if the math programs in Australia are better than here. I always thought our education system could use some reform and just wondered if maybe Australia has a better paradigm to work from." But that's how I'd do it. But only if he is really from Australia as opposed to the genetic attachment to the country alone.

i seriously don't know if i can do that. that's flirting, right? failing is enough to show stupidity. just kidding, but saying that's the reason why he's the professor, saying are all guys in australia this good at math and you're good at this math thing, does seem really stupid because that's obviously why he's a math professor.
once when i gave him my drc exam form to fill it out, i said, "here's a present for you." is this flirting? he laughed a little and said, "a present?"
im a big tennis fan, so i know the top players and about the event. what's tmi, btw?

I would be amazed if this unmarried maths professors was not like this. In fact I could count on 1 hand how many in my department don't fit into this category, when you look closely.

Kind of how dating works - most attempts will be failures. For obvious reasons - count up the number of people in a big room you would consider going with. Then think as to how they might do the same exercise.

Tbh - I fully expect the professor to reject her. Best way to end the obsession imo. Bear in mind she has not been treated beyond any normal student as far as I can see and she is busy asking for our dating advice.

Better to read Leil Lowndes to be honest here - if she actually geniunely wants this professor. Personally I feel this whole thing is an excuse for her to fail.

I would probably say, "well I just wondered if the math programs in Australia are better than here. I always thought our education system could use some reform and just wondered if maybe Australia has a better paradigm to work from." But that's how I'd do it. But only if he is really from Australia as opposed to the genetic attachment to the country alone.
If you are trying to pull a professor, for heavens sake look up their research papers.
i thought you were helping me. are you against me and are you saying that im trying to date him for grades?
No - I am saying you are trying to date him so you have an excuse if you fail. I could be wrong of course.

what are some of the topics i should bring up on monday? he's from australia and i was going to ask if he watched autralian open(a tennis event). i don't know if this is too late to bring up. it ended like 2 months ago.
so the fact that im with the disability resource center could be a mystery to him, wondering what my issue is. make him keep wondering regardless of him wondering or not?

I'm far from a relationship coach. I know how to get men for one fabulous night. Beyond that, I'm stuck. My husband is the longest relationship I've been in, and I think that's only because he's undiagnosed Aspergers.
I would be amazed if this unmarried maths professors was not like this. In fact I could count on 1 hand how many in my department don't fit into this category, when you look closely.

Kind of how dating works - most attempts will be failures. For obvious reasons - count up the number of people in a big room you would consider going with. Then think as to how they might do the same exercise.

I also know that it's a game, except you are playing with real feelings and real people, including yourself. I'm here to tell you that the fact that you are more concerned about getting a date with this professor than your math grade is a big indicator on how much you are wagering that you get this guy. If he hurts you at all, it's going to really hurt. If he ever tells you he's not interested, then you are probably going to get really depressed. If at all, your best option is to try to back away from those feelings and try very hard to not think about it or he is becoming your Aspie Obsession. I promise you, if he is already an Aspie obsession, then you have to get hurt or get some or you will constantly wonder for the rest of your life. But just know that all the WP responses you get on stay away from this guy are not people talking out of their assets. They are speaking wisdom, but I dated profs before, and I've dated guys I've worked with, worked for, and guys that worked for me. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it got me fired. My husband was a big no in dating. He was six years younger than me, barely legal (age 19 when I met him), and he was in my military squadron meaning we worked together often, but not daily. He worked out well. But the guy I was dating years ago at a job that was my equal was one of the ones that tried to get me fired, and eventually succeeded. So that one didn't work out at all. Sad thing is he still emails me or calls me once in a while asking me to cheat on my husband with him. What a freaking loser. He was also smaller than the small cheap bic lighters, hard. I really did have a hard time finding it, and cause he was slightly overweight, it really was an Austin Powers the blonde girl with Fat Bastard moment, "the sheer mechanics of it are mind boggling." Sad thing, i crushed on him hard core for about a year before we started dating. Now who's the bigger loser? I know, TMI, but i figured it was helpful in what kind of lesson might be taught here.
Tbh - I fully expect the professor to reject her. Best way to end the obsession imo. Bear in mind she has not been treated beyond any normal student as far as I can see and she is busy asking for our dating advice.

Anyway, instead of asking about the Australian open, first research it. Know how often it is played, key players, and new statuses on what they might do next. Same with football. Right now, you wouldn't bring up the superbowl, but you would talk about teams trading players, players retiring, and anything current in the news about it. Best place to research is a magazine specifically geared to your topic. In your case, Australian Magazines about tennis. Then bring up what you find in that which is current, like "did you hear that john doe is thinking about retirement?" or "what do you think of jane doe turning down that sponsor?" Don't talk about anything you don't know anything about like you know it. If you want to talk abotu something you don't know much about, then just say, "I've been meaning to get more into that, I've always been curious about it" That's better because it gets him talking about what he does know about, and it gives you insight to something new and stuff about him, and you aren't being fake in the process. Also, if it's something he isn't interested in, then you didn't waste your time learning about it for nothing.
Better to read Leil Lowndes to be honest here - if she actually geniunely wants this professor. Personally I feel this whole thing is an excuse for her to fail.

No - I am not, but I want him to think that my grades were affected when he gets to know that I've been liking him. I began to think this after someone here said that i of course can't concentrate if I like him.
He's trying to help me by taking out this midterm and substituting the previous one for both of these midterms. I actually don't care either way as long as i pass. I will just do better on the final.
Reading your comment again, I have to say that I won't use that as an excuse. I don't think that my love has that much impact on my grades. I'm conscious of the fact that he looks at me during lectures, so I don't concentrate on the lectures sometimes, but other than that, I don't think it's influential.
I can't say that I failed something because I liked him. There's no concrete evidence to support this. It's too subtle and ambiguous. Plus it's better to admit that I failed something because I didn't take enough care of it rather than to make an excuse even if that excuse was valid, but is it hardly verifiable.
