But I'ma let the bull pass like metadoors...

I don't think we are. And if we are, I really think we shouldn't care

Wait... If space itself expands faster than light, and this destructive wave can only travel light speed, doesn't that mean we can just "outrun" the wave?

The first is probably better but the second is way faster.

Look at solutions (or even better: a script or textbook) first and then practice it.

The exam will obviously not ask you if you understand a ready made solution to a problem, but it can definitely help having seen how it shiould be done.

>>8397802
>1) read theory
>2) follow example problems
>3) try to solve on your own

study in that order. it is a process, not just one easy trick

If it is a simulation, that opens up the possibility to contact the simulator.

We can pray?

What's with all the schizos on this board today? It does seem to be worse than usual.

Pure math led to the discovery of the RSA method you use daily for encrypted comms. No joke.

>econ
>difficult math
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA

classic econ major. tell me econ major, what is a Fourier decomposition? tell me, what is an infinite dimension vector space?

>those have no application
lol, guess you have no idea what a cell phone is. Both of those concepts are key to signal processing and encryption.

good bait though, made me respond

Math major here and ever since I started reading game theory I started respecting economics more. Even though you are, like everyone else, inferior to me, I respect a field that does not pussy out like biology and accept that mathematicians are always right and start to apply our theorems.

Everyone else should be more like you, economists. If biologists and other faggots also learned higher mathematics then we could cure cancer in like a day.

>how can physics, chem or bio even compete.

Physicucks already accepted that we are better than them and started applying mathematics ever since Newton. Chemists are still fighting it but slowly they are realizing that mathematical structures and mathematical models make more sense for chemistry than the bullshit diagrams they have been shitting out for hundreds of years and thus now chemists learn group theory and graph theory... like they always should have.

Biology is the one that is a full pussy. I seriously do not understand how they can even be a science.

>Pure math is a joke as we all know already

Hey, don't get out of line. We gave you everything you have. Treat us with respect, you little shit. But oh well, you made me laugh. It is fun when people from inferior fields try do some banter.

Mathematicians are the kings of banter, bitch.

Does culturally-encouraged suicide count? The Romans definitely saw it as a acceptable or even honorable response to defeat and humiliation.

Sure, everyone can become tired of life. Life is pretty pointless.

When native English speakers refer to *reading* a textbook, do they imply studying it or skimming it?
In Italian I would say that I *studied* from Rudin reserving *read* for regular books.
Sometimes single pages from difficult books require a lot of time to be satisfyingly understood.

If you're a CS brainlet I doubt you were able to completely figure out some of the sketched proofs contained in the book.
I used it for self studying mathematics but I have some experience from several other analysis textbooks.
If you actually did it, then you're OK.

For free you can try controlling your life and make your dreams come true.

Isn't lucid dreaming all about being able to recall your dreams though by keeping a dream diary?

Harmonic motion, read a fucking book.

Carrier waves, signals and systems, literally all anolouge technology, harmonics, fucking anything.

it has the real-life application of making americans fail remedial college courses, i.e. putting free money in the pockets of administrators

You should stop writing books about things you don't understand and consider suicide. It's already nigh impossible to wade through all the trash looking for a good read.

>>8397389
I shall consider it, but in the meantime...

Again, I AM NOT WRITING A GODDAMN PHYSICS BOOK. If you have trouble finding something to read, consider getting a Goodreads account, rather than harassing random people you know nothing about.

My book is mainly history, with a bit of social sciences mixed in. These are topics I understand well, but I also think my argument would be remiss if I don't include that tidbit about how schizophrenic people react negatively to certain elecromagnetic waves, and thus have to include a brief explanation of it. I'd agree with your assessment, if I was pretending to be an expert in physics - I'm not, by any stretch of the imagination. I said so in the OP.

>>>/lit/

Don't write about shit you don't understand. It's a pathetic attempt to be esoteric.

>>8397359

Try reading out loud.
Or if that is not efficient for you, hold your breath for as long as you can while reading silently.

Are you interested in what you are studying? I would constantly fall asleep on analysis and physics lectures, and while studying them on my own, my mind would just go on its own adventures. Yet, when I read about things I'm interested in, I wouldn't even notice if someone cut off my limbs or fired a cannon next to me. This then lead to it that I'd fall asleep on lectures about interesting stuff, too, since I was already familiar with it.

Is having an internet connection obligatory for you? If not, then turn it off. If it is, there should be some extensions for browsers allowing parents to prevent their kids from going to bad websites. Use such an extension to block the sites distracting you.

One more thing! Try listening to music with long pieces, classical, prog, jazz, black metal, post-rock, etc. Not while studying, but otherwise. Develop your concentration by really listening through a whole piece. It lowers my anxiety and makes me functional, so there is atleast one person for whom this works.

Not necessarily your style, but this is one I've used to get to the state of mind required. A nice piece from a nice composer, and not even that long.

>>8397374
Yes of course! I love my subject, know that it's important for me, but got this extream procastinationg habbit, because of this lack of focus and concentration.

Interessting you mentioned music. Sometimes I've got the feeling that while playing music in the background, it seems to be a lot easier for me to study. I may should check htis theory and and work in this direction.

Ok, I gotta ask. Where does this 'thought theorist/scientist' meme come from?

>I have a GED

>I watch Michio Kaku videos and have a physics text book that I work out of

I want to be well educated :\
