Not good.

>>8873310
Based on the latest PISA statistics it does not look good at all.

Presently it is in grad school that US universities shine, some of that by attracting the best students across the world. In 20 years time that may have changed.

But where could the brain drain relocate to? Canada? That's the only place that immediately comes to mind because all of Eurasia is burning.

this thread is not /pol/tier enough to last even 1 hour on /sci/

you need to rephrase it

try "what is it about different races that make some more likely to procrastinate than others?" or something

the answer is do it now because you have to train your brain. if you cant stay focused and wander off then the problem is staying motivated, and you need to force yourself to do that too, so try thinking about why it's important you finish this, or why you made this stupid fucking OP


Alternitively amphetamines are really great for this but if you already have problems with motivation then it's really going to fuck you hard in the long run

I'm a chronic procrastinator myself and I'm by no means cured but I think the "just do it" approach might work
>stop worrying about literally anything else
>if you stop working, start working again
>if your performance declines take a quick break doing something that doesn't take much investment

I don't use this method myself, I usually just say fuck it and produce some sub-par work

I tried to learn calculus but didn't get it - so I self harmed. Should I give up?

>>8871113
give up on self-harm and pick up a friendlier calculus book

Have any of you have to retake a class? Does that make you a brainlet?

No engineers here buddy.

basically its a bunch of chemists pretending to be mathematicians who want to justify waiting in line for their unemployment cheques because their field is "pure".

In reality, engineers and mathematicians work together in almost ever field, especially electronics and computer science.

Newton wasn't even that good of a mathematician

Is this fucking BuzzFeed? Stop ranking useless things. Have some fucking shame

Anyone who doesn't cheat from time to time is a cucky sucker. Not every class is something you need to remember. Fucking everyone cheats from time to time and gets away with it, unless they're spineless moralfags who will never achieve anything.

Is your goal in college to learn or to get the magic piece of paper that lets you get a job?

>>8877281
I've never cheated and I went to an Ivy for undergrad an got into a top ten grad program in my field. The people I've know to be cheaters were all beta losers. Only a total brainlet is ever in a position where cheating looks like a good choice.

Doesn't your scope have a finder? If so, make sure it's pointing at the same thing the scope is. So find the Moon in the scope, then check the finder to see if it's pointing at the same place. You should be able to adjust it. Then use the finder to point the scope towards the planet, and it should appear somewhere within the field of view.

Pic related is what I see through my telescope. It's a 4.31^38 cm diameter mirror of my own design that folds up into a backpack. Took it orbital last week, shit was cash.

Yes. Of course I will say this because I am a Computer Engineering student, but let me explain

At least so far in my 2 years of undergrad, the comments in imgur link you posted are actually pretty accurate when it comes to Computer Science Engineering students.

My degree is Electrical and Computer Engineering, because essentially the two go hand in hand. Obviously you know electrical engineering is all about circuitry, electronics, signals, etc. and computer science is about the theoretical math behind computer algorithms. Many people would consider electrical engineering to be more rigorous, due to the fact that higher levels of mathematics are used (in a way) and simply that the subject matter can be difficult to comprehend.

Computer engineering is essentially a 50/50 blend between computer science and electrical engineering. You will learn the computer science aspects, such as programming, algorithms, running time, and you will also learn the low-level aspects of computers including assembly language, how data is stored and manipulated within a computer system (registers, the stack, the heap, bytes, words, etc.). Essentially, you will be much more knowlegable about how computers work simply because you are not working with such higher levels of abstractions at first - you are learning how the internals function and can build your knowledge of the abstractions off of that.

That certainly seems like a more fastidious and elucidatory path into the computer industary than simply studying computer science, I must say.

A process which usually improves fitness is currently doing the opposite. This is still evolutionarily plausible because the process is beneficial on average.

Elaborate? Which process here is beneficial on average?

Most undergrads can't do baby rudin problems with just a course in reals and proofs class. Rudin you have to bash, the solutions to his problems usually require a slick technique, just like the proofs he presents. We went through in 2 quarters right measure theory the last quarter my senior year. But I already had done honors reals (in R^n) and complex, algebra, axiomatic set theory (ironically out of Enderton, the book in that image), and advanced logic at this point. So I had a lot more experience and some of his problems I still couldn't solve without hints from friends and the professor. Keep bashing.

>>8875263
I've given up the textbook and resorted to doing my Uni problem sets. Definitely will go back to it, but its very weird to me to relearn Analysis again through Rudin after going through a semester of it already (we don't use Rudin as a prescribed).
Do you know if Real Analysis is a Pure Math trademark course?

>>8875272
Rudin is alot more abstract, general, and sophisticated than introductory analysis. Also the exercises make you better at solving hard problems (a valuable skill). You should know analysis at the baby rudin by the end of undergrad or grad school is be a lot harder.

If you don't feel ready take your time, I hear Abott is nice intro text to reals.
