On our university campus there's a shop that does all sorts of printing and binding. I've had them print tons of lecture notes for me.

I find it easier to read lecture notes than a proper textbook because lecture notes are written more formally (instead of flowery English prose) and they seem to explain intuition better.

>>7770256
How is this blogshit thread worthy?

>>7770256
How is this not a textbook? It's not condensed much at all.

The whole point of notes is to leave out all the filler in textbooks and get straight to the point.

HELP

I CAN'T FOCUS ANYMORE

I rewrite and rewrite and rewrite

>>7770465

How do you organise that? Do you throw out the old stuff and begin a new page?

it can even be scaled up to more complex problems as long as you remember that you're in x notation and convert back to decimal notation at the end. Am I wrong?

Please do not post on this board again

>>7770149
So you are implying that is also easier for you to think of 0.5 as 0.1 in 5 digit notation?

So If you have say,
0.57371 that is 0.1 is 57371 digit notation?

I think you are autistic? Are you implying that every fraction we do should instead with replaced 0.1 and a explanation for what the base is?

That is fucking autistic. Working in a single base is better and easier to learn and to work with.

Stop. Everyone says this here and means it.
I'm just proving how pathetic it is.

It's a mental illness.

This is one of many things that is beginning to really piss me off. I can't stand disjointed garbage that doesn't fit together, and I hate even worse stupid shit making its way into the available body of literature. It's one thing to try to substantially dispel myths and try to make it clear a good direction for further endeavor it's another thing to say idiotic shit that doesn't agree with experiment or empirical observation. Maybe this moron should have spent some time eating enough chocolate to get high on (not as much as you might think), rather than writing his bullshit.

I'm going to have to fix this myself. I'll spend years at it. I'm just so fucking tired of this, and it's one area I'd like to set the baseline for how the goddamn thing really works. A series of papers that really defines a solid foundation and framework to reference later as knowledge expands and shifts. There have been rulers that supposedly subsisted on this. We've eaten it for thousands of years, and still barely know how it works on even a high level. This is a pathetic mess.

I've never experienced this "chocolate high"

>>7770026
Go get either some high quality dark(er) chocolate. Make sure it contains both the butter (fats), and the solids. Sometimes this will be listed as "chocolate liquor", which just means a roughly 50/50 proportion of cocoa butter and solids. Make sure it's not processed with anything (dutch process, roasting, alkali, etc. This is done to reduce pH and control bitterness).

You can either do this in the form of cacao nibs, chocolate chips, or chocolate bars. Chocolate chips is probably the most viable, but also involves a spike in blood sugar which makes results less clear. Nibs don't have this problem.

Eat a lot of it. Take it slowly, and you'll know what it is, as it begins to be. Some aspects are very, very similar to ethanol. Almost identical. Which makes me pretty apt to assume that salsolinol is in fact absorbed in some capacity. You're definitely not pulling in a lot of acetaldehyde.

Man, this is chocolate we're talking about, for fuck's sake. It's not hard to do this experiment yourself.

>Did you follow your dream in your choice of study?

Yes, Pure Mathematics.

>How is it going now?

Just in freshman year and I already got a paid internship working in banking software. I start monday.

Man, being a mathematician is like living life in easy mode. Literally everyone wants to hire you. You got software on one side, statistics on the other, finance on another, research everywhere and rich people want you to tutor their rich kids.

10/10 man.

im going to kill myself on friday #wow#whoa

I picked mathematics because it's very little work

Couple of homework problems each week is at most all they grade, the rest is just exams
No papers, no projects, no groupwork.
All you have to do is study an hour or so a day (at most) to keep up and that's not too hard because I enjoy mathematics anyway.

Life as a math major is easy modo

The area of the triangle is 1/2ck=1/2bh
QED

>>7769850
We haven't defined area yet, bub. Neither have we anything that shows that if two triangles have the same area they are similar.

I'm no doctor but that sounds really fishy to me
I mean they claim that with their technique you

I don't believe it

That is possible under long-term training.

>he needs to learn to breathe

Human Females have one night stands with the most attractive males then settle down with less attractive males because they are good providers

It depends on the animal species and some animals don't even have genders to be able to follow that. Stop trying to apply what you learnt of birds to everything

because men show off to women with money and utility, showing their social status.
having a peacock tail wouldn't be very advantageous to a female.

>>7769464
Man just shh, people are trying hard to do that.. like really hard. Just participate how you can and stop complaining.

>to evolve humanity
evolution is *FROM* a prior form, not *TO* a posterior form
Lrn2evolution fgt pls

>>7769471
I don't care about semantics I just want humans to be replaced by something better, also I'll use words however the fuck I please you pedantic little pre-Madonna.

popsci fag go away

inst this graph the same looking on two different perpectives?

>>7769593
yes. the point is to see how bizarre the actual paths of the planets would be if earth was the center of the orbit.

Its just water erosion. Seen it plenty on the appalachian trail. It may also be from glaciers, but since its in Texas, its probably from a delta from the past.

Yes anon, it's a meme field. Those thousands of papers written, peer-reviewed and published in prestigious publications? All memes.
