You could take Math 21, which is taught by graduate students and where homework usually takes a reasonable three to six hours per week. Or, you could opt to take Math 55—which gives you 10 times the amount of homework. ”Problem sets can take anywhere from 24 to 60 hours per week to complete.” Yes, per week. So, basically, it’s a full-time job, plus a part-time job—and that’s on top of the rest of your course load, internships, any actual part-time gigs, and requisite Harvard partying.

These caused deaths of 10 733 people and affected 61 million people across the world. There were a number of major disasters in certain regions, however, there were no mega-disasters which inflate yearly averages, such as the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) who manages EM-DAT said. Earthquakes and tsunamis accounted for the majority of the 10 373 lives lost.
