>pop sci books
This is shit, OP. Shit, every book in your picture is a steaming pile of shit.

Serge Lang's Algebra is meme tier, Rudin is meme tier, your books are shit

>>8124738
yet you read all of them?

>>8124831
I read none of them.
I dont need to put a turd in my mouth to know that it doesnt taste delicious

>>8124627
yes, the derivative is the linear part of the function

>>8124627
>what are taylor series expansions

>>8124627
how's freshman calc going, op

>>8124621
that is Takeaus betteruspicturus of the genus use a better camera

Kabuto, and they evolve to kabutops

>>8124621
That's a human hand. I'm 100% sure of that.

I am sure it is a homo sexual.

>>8124526
it silicone

>>8124537
Silicone is what you use to make boobs bigger you dummy.

>>8124543
Don't you make boobs bigger with concrete?

Julia

In the real world anything under 1000 lines of code Matlab, more than that C or FORTRAN.
C has everything object oriented, procedural, machine level.

Also get some openmp books

>I know python but it gets really slow as soon as you run anything a bit complex

that's because you suck at programming. you can try C and openGL but then you will just have even more complexity that you can fuck up. learn to program properly and then try again.

>And if so, would it even be worth it given the time it would take?
The biggest problem with humanity is it's utter contempt for overhead costs.

>>8124264
would terraforming the moon be possible if we surrounded it with massive superconducting rings to make a magnetic field strong enough that we could sustain an atmosphere? I saw a paper about doing it for earth and they said something like the power from 12 nuclear power stations could easily produce a magnetic field something like 10% the strength of the earth's (i cant find the paper now but anyone else who has read it please correct me if im wrong) and it got me thinking about the moon.

>>8124403
No. Gravity is way too low. Same with Mars though gravity isn't that far off to keep the atmosphere in place for an extended period.

>If you like math so much, why don't own a gold medal from IMO, anon ?
cuz i can barely qualify for the USAMO and even then i score like a 10

>>8124198
Mathematical contests are more about how well you can apply trivial knowledge in convoluted ways - it has nothing to do with how good of a mathematician you are.
That said, you should definitely feel good if you do well in them, but if you don't do well, you shouldn't feel bad either because it says nothing about how good you are at maths.
I enjoyed the preliminaries to the IMO when I was a kid but I didn't have much time to prepare for it since I wasn't told that I was being entered.
I scored highly enough in the senior maths challenge (gold+) to qualify for the first round of the BMO, but with a day of practice I barely did half of the questions.
The small amount that I practiced was fun though, and it was my first 3 hour long maths anything.

>>8124176
It is typical. You don't need to start studying before the class begins.

>>8124183
Even for a summer session with classes Monday through Friday? Seems a bit shortsighted but ok.

>>8124185
post syllabus here and people can tell you what you need. otherwise, email the professor.

i am not good in math, i like the theory behind, but sucks on tests, want to know a trick to be bettter in Probability.

>>8124155
it's all about the sample set and events

everything else is decoration around these abstract concepts that's designed to make it easy to understand.

>>8124169
Thanks for the advice.

Then you just suck in math.

Then you just suck in math.

If you cant get these to work, chances are you're confused about something fairly fundamental. Are you sure you know what all of the symbols mean?

>You just need to fucking memorize all this crap.
So fucking memorize it. Bio is easy mode. Especially fucking high school biology.

>>8124049
nothing you can do, really. just memorize it and maybe make some pictures so you can deceive yourself into thinking you have an intuitive understanding of it

No logic in biology? Bro, unless you're doing taxonomy that's complete bs

Everything revolves around food and reproduction.
Everything is mostly conserved with slight tweaks from molecules utilized for chemical reactions, genetic information and body parts.
Evolution is the change in the frequency of alleles (look up Hardy Weinberg).
DNA encodes RNA encodes Protein.

It's not that the colors are different from what they "really are" it's that we see the color changing (wavelength getting bigger) which must mean the galaxies are receding from us.

Spectral patterns.

Each element and molecule has it's own emission/absorption spectrum determined by it's electronic structure. The spectrum describes the frequencies of light that the atom/molecule can accept or emit, which depends on the differences in energy levels between electron orbitals, which critically depends on the composition of the atom/molecule.

Thus, spectral patterns act as a sort of fingerprint that scientists can use to determine chemical composition by just looking at light.

When redshift occurs, a spectral pattern appears shifted, but otherwise has the same shape. By matching up the "fingerprints" and seeing how much they shifted, we can determine redshift.

Make sense?

why

Repetition should be fine. If a person sees or hears the same mantra again and again over a period of weeks or even months, he will inevitably store it in his brain. This is a fundamental principle of propaganda. Just make sure the message isn't too long or too complicated. The shorter the memetic mantra, the easier it will spread.
