And the third law of Newton is proven wrong, can telekinetics finally come out of the closet? The government has been suppressing the truth for far too long.

i´m one month in my maths studies and i haven´t done shit so far. i started to learn 5 hours a day but i would need 4 to even learn the new material. is it worth to repeat this semester or should i give up? no one in my surrounding thought i could have a chance and family problems just made the last months hell for me. i love math but it´s just too much at ones. i don´t want to end like people who study till their 30s. i have a chance to get a job at a wood company with connections of mine but it´s not really what i want to do. what can you guys recommend? i´m desperate

Brah, just work there and study part time

If you do some excercise, your brain will get better, thus you will learn faster

If someone makes a thread about hot scientists and instead of posting cute bois you start posting women (even if you are hetero) you are a confirmed 12 year old.

These threads are meant to be ironic fun with people saying how'd they would destroy Galois' boipussi but here you go admitting you are a disgusting cuckbastard sexist who actually rates scientists for their hotness.

Go kill yourself please and please go back to your containment board. I do not know if you belong in reddit/cuck or in /pol/ but go to one of those and leave us alone.

What is the science behind snarky comments and intelligence?

I'd say that /sci/ is perhaps the snarkiest board on 4chan, why is that?

>>8496855
/sci/ is in no way, shape or form the snarkiest board on 4chan

the science behind snarky comments is that you can talk shit without consequences on the internet, so they do

also /sci/ is rampant with people trying to prove to themselves that they are intelligent

Why do people sound snarky then? Why can't they openly show their resentment and hatred? Instead, we get word play to hide it all.

>also /sci/ is rampant with people trying to prove to themselves that they are intelligent

Perhaps this answers my question, word play is a means to show intelligence.

Daily reminder that scientists can't explain the trumpets in the sky that is happening around the world.

Daily reminder this was in the bible.

Not even a christian fag, but I dunno what to believe, I'm agnostic BTW.

Today the results of the GRE subject in mathematics have been revealed. I scored lower than expected, namely, 800 (80 percentile). Are here any grad students in pure math that can tell me if I will be filtered out with such a score? I wanted to apply for pure math PhD (algebraic topology) to MIT, UCLA, Berkeley (and some other schools, but I'm mostly concerned with these three). Besides that score I have a rather solid application: 2 strong LORs with professors I did research with, and 1 good I guess (I did only 2 classes and a seminar with that professor, got nice grades, but still it is not that much to write in LOR), published a paper and writing down results from my research project that, as I've been said, are publishable. Could the PhD students in pure math here post their stats, when they were applying, and the universities that accepted/rejected them? Thank boyz, stay frosty.

I'm and undergrad as well. Only got 60th percentile. I asked the head of admissions at my school and he said what schools value depends completely on the school. He said he personally thinks the test is worthless and doesn't consider it (my uni is top 30).
>>
>>8496633
Yeah, the average at Princeton is 800 on that test. I don't think they care too much. Research is more important
>>
>>8496633

Ask /r/math.
But I would not hold my breath.

But larger departments like Berkeley always admit students with less than ideal applications.
