Why did you fail the first time?

If you were mindlessly turning the crank without understanding what you're doing in math, read Gelfand's "Algebra" and "Trigonometry" books and learn how to do math by understand it.

If you couldn't understand the concepts, get Kline's "Calculus: An Intuitive and Physical Approach".

wasn't able to keep up with the pacing, concepts getting introduced too quickly, eventually fell behind

nothing

Then where the nasa zapruder film at? why aint space off'd one of them floaty muthafuckas?

The particle would have to be somewhat massive, because passing through the ISS shell would vaporize the pebble. The hull is effectively a Whipple shield.

That's all. The thin little bit of mass separating the astronauts from the vacuum.

If you want to do it, you will do it. Your local lesswrong group runs DOJOs to help with this sort of thing.

On big terms:
>Get your ass down and study.

On minor terms, ask yourself if you're just like the rest of the normal people that really hate doing work while they could be doing something else at least more rewarding in the short term and accept it to learn that there is no other way but to get your shit together and use the internet in the way you supossed it would be used when you opened your browser; as a tool to learn.

And then you get your ass down and study.

>>8504609
There is no easy way to go around it. You need the desire to be better for the sake of being better. You need passion. You need discipline. Realize that you are going to go through pain and beyond pain. Look at people around you and think how they are going to regret and how they already regret that they are not the person they could have been. They wasted their youth with partying, watching tv, playing videogames and for what? They didn't build the foundations for their future and now they want their youth back. Well too bad. Have you seen an old person saying "God I wish I could have watched more tv and go party more often"? Of cource not. Everybody realizes it is wasted time but they just cound't help it. Just like you now can't and that needs to change.
So basically you need to become more aware of the fact that you will die and internet is a distraction that you will regret spending so much time on.

hi there obvious shitposter!
great thread

because they say what fedoras want to hear.

A fucking freshman in Bio I knows more science than Dawkings
Why was this fedora lord even taken seriously?

It belongs to SQT. This board is for the discussion of science and math, not for petty problems. Just do it by induction over the k, it should follow directly. Now delete this thread faggot.

Suck eggs

If AE=lambdaE
Then A(AE)=A(lambdaE)=lambda(AE)=lambda^2(E)
etc. see the pattern?

>>8504746
I don't think there's enough energy on the earth's surface to do what you're purposing. You would need to use the earth's mantle to power that shit.

>>8504750
A volcano powered thermal plant instead of a nuclear one if that's the case? I don't think power would be an issue, but engineering a pump and pipeline that could withstand the enormous water pressure that would be the biggest issue.

genious

It would not because evolution doesn't work like that.

OP, your homework is to seek out and reflect upon the non-internet-related definition of the word 'meme'.

>>8503977
If all people would have their hands cut for millions of years newborns would still have hands because they still have the genes for it.

If you want to get rid of the foreskin, or any trait in general, you have to get rid of the genes responsible for it, however it should be noted that not all traits are genetic there are of course environmental traits which can also be removed more easily by removing the environmental factors.

Git gud

People skills are far more superior to math. There will never be adequate funding and resources for the amazing projects mankind can complete without reshaping the culture of the west. A great orator and salesman will go 1000x further to advancing scientific pursuits than any above average mathematician (which you are not).

>>8503222
Yeah, but he wants to be a physicist. You kinda need math for that.

Just keep in mind that you have to actually be smart for pure math.

If your aim is to impress strangers you're 100 times better off becoming a medical doctor or even an engineer or lawyer.

Most people think math/science students are sort of spergy and entirely unemployable.

For example for Thanksgiving I discussed Descartes famous idea of "I think, therefore I am" to my relatives. They were very much impressed and were glad they finally grasped its meaning. I understand that this guy Euclid did something similar but for mathematics.

>muh invisible hand

Not really, it's very visible. Normally you see it in the form of a giant animal with fuck-off-big claws.

That which endures, endures.
That which does not, does not.

when solar systems are forming, the dust cloud's spin tends to push most of the material into a relatively flat plane.

>Why dont we see lots of orbits that go vertical and horizontal

But we see.

>>8504685
Becuse the gravety of each planet pulls slightly on all the other planets, pulling the solar system flat-ish. Same reason why galexies are flat

>>8504621
If you really want to find out then you have to program a program that determines if everything is programmable.

>>8504621
No it's not. Halting problem

Oh yeah? Apply it then. I'll wait.
