I finished school some time ago and I won't be having classes anytime soon (am older than whatever age limit this board has).
However, I love physics and mathematics and I want to keep studying those subjects on my free time.
My problem is that I don't really know where to start.
Does /sci/ have any tips/hints?
Sorry for my English, not my first language.
>>8998193
Bump.
I suggest you start from the easy stuff so you can actually understand what you're doing.
If you try speeding your way up to the difficult material you already failed.
You want to tackle the mathematics first. Have a look at this website:

also interested
Where can I go to take a reliable IQ assessment to see how much of a brainlet I am? I don't trust any of these "free" online ones.
Pic unrelated.
>not pulling the dogs front legs apart so its heart explodes
>>8997894
Wait, does that happen? I have a doggo and I don't want that to happen to him.
>>8997899
Try it and see. This is a board of science, after all.
Wouldn't a manned super sonic ramjet propulsion aircraft, that uses a propeller power plant to rise to high altitude - subsonic obviously - then activate the ram jet and dive to super sonic speeds to help overcome wave drag to level super sonic flight, be really fucking cool?
>>8997817
yeah.
>>8997817
Then again, a nuclear thermal thrust turbine would be more cost effective, yes?
>>8997817
This is partially proof that the earth is flat. If the round-earthers were right, then if the Hyper-Sonic aircraft flew in a straight line it would fly into space. The only way these kinds of aircraft can exist at those speeds is if the world is flat.
>Myers-Briggs is nonsense it is not scientific, we try to recreate it in the lab, there are no multiple intelligence, ZERO CORRELATION, big five, I think we need to remove bias from research
Then suddenly:
>Chaos lol, slay the dragon hehe, the dragon has scales and is DANGEROUS, the bible, the BIBLE, THE BIBLE, hehe
You should have concentrated more in the English classes in school. Now your thread is a blabbering mess that only makes you look stupid.
>>8997737
This, what the fuck are you trying to say?
>>8997739
He's trying to say that Jordan Peterson criticizes modern psychology of endorsing non-scientific stuff, but simultaneously he, himself, believes non-scientific stuff described in the Bible.
why are STEM majors so autistic?
as a business major when i ask people what their majors are they pause for a good 2 seconds and say "mechanical engineering", "computer science" in a monotone voice.
they reek so much autism its funny.
lol at these faggots who think chad will work for them, because the true red pill is they will work FOR chad!
>>8997588
>mechanical engineer
>compsci
What did you expect?
>>8997588
So as a business major how do you speak when you tell people you are a business major?
You say "I _am_ a *bis*nesss MMAYYY!!!jjoooooooooooooorrrrrrr....rrrr...rrrree" with a big show and dance or what?
>>8997600
STEM majors reek autism, they resemble autism.
and from your reply you are projecting your numerical autism towards me.
you will never understand because to begin with you have never experienced being inside a woman before.
Did somebody hack google mars?

system thinks the link is spam what with its weird ending.
heres an archive.is (which fails to load it but you can copy and paste link from the top)

Thats just a smudge on the lens.

If you look at a traditional Russian program in mathematics and CS then you see that both their pure math training & computer scientist training BTFO the rest of the world.
Why is that? The level Russians have their pre-teens do is the same level that advanced seniors in American colleges do.
Same applies with math training.
Why is that Ivan?
>>8997089
I think it would help your thread if you posted an example of their programs, I doubt most people here can read Russian to even look one up
>>8997094
This is considered an "Intermediate course" not an "Advanced" one. Undergraduate level.
>>8997115
as someone who actually took that class through that program, I can tell you the categorization of elementary/intermediate/advanced is fairly arbitrary, or at least some intermediate classes were obviously more difficult that the advanced classes. that topology course was essentially graduate level the year I was there, or at least the majority of the people in the class were graduate students
also most of the classes on that website severely underestimate the pre-requisites

Anyone ever seen this notation? I've looked in 3 textbooks and have yet to see a single problem structured like this. What do I do?
>>8996739
It's the function evaluated at 0.
>>8996739
That's just a shorthand way of writing operators.
>>8996842
how would you expand it?
The chances of x happening are small (say, 1 in 10). You have two buttons in front of you, a green button and a red button.
- If X does not happen and you pressed the green button, you lose $6000
- If X does not happen and you pressed the red button, you lose $1000
- If X does happen and you pressed the green button, you lose nothing
- If X does happen and you pressed the red button, you lose $1000
What button do you press and why?
>>8995671
I won't press a button, why would I?
>>8995675
The premise is such that you must press a button
Assume that deciding not to press any button has a cost of $6000 regardless of X's outcome
>>8995677
Then the red button
red button = 100% chance of losing $1000
green button = 90% chance of losing $6000, 10% chance of +/-0 = $5400 loss on average
What does /sci/ think about Skylon or any other space planes in development?
A meme to be had
>>8995424
>Skylon
I really, really want to believe.
really love to hear some update or where they are at the moment but it seems not much is going on
Random intoxicated question, the surface gravity on earth is 9.798 meters/square second. Jupiter and Saturn are 10.44 and 11.15 respectively, if in the future we were to be able to quickly and efficiently travel between these planets and live on them, when you returned to earth how much stronger would you be reverting to a place with less gravity? Can anyone math this shit up?
dbz isn't real life
>>8995009
>can anyone maths this shit up
No
>>8995010
Never watched dragon ball. Just was thinking that if you were living in that environment everything would be heavier causing even simple activities like standing up to put more stress on your muscles. Eventually when your body adjusted and you'd come back to earth you'd have to be much stronger and capable of jumping higher or running faster
I think this model of the Atom is wrong.
Well, it fucking is.
>>8994926
>wrong
>>8994926
atoms are flat, and the nucleus orbits around the protons not the other way around
> but anon... w-why did you choose to study physics instead of engineering?
What do you answer?
Go.
though physics might be less practical than engineering in terms of corporate success, I believed it would be more useful to me to be able to master the ability to think abstractly and come up with efficient, new ways of looking at problems
sounds like a lot of bullshit lol
I hate Chads
>>8990308
man these white people...
this thread is for mathing
>what are you studying?
>any cool problems?
>any cool theorems or remarks?

Redpill yourself with Bourbaki.

What are your plans for the solar eclipse in August?
lsd in oklahoma
noone here cares about science
moving to central Missouri a week and a half before it's gonna happen. I'm gonna be right smack dab under the umbra.
I'm so excited it almost makes up for having to live in the middle of Missouri for four or five years.
