I finished school some time ago and I won't be having classes anytime soon (am older than whatever age limit this board has).
However, I love physics and mathematics and I want to keep studying those subjects on my free time.
My problem is that I don't really know where to start.
Does /sci/ have any tips/hints?
Sorry for my English, not my first language.

I suggest you start from the easy stuff so you can actually understand what you're doing.
If you try speeding your way up to the difficult material you already failed.
You want to tackle the mathematics first. Have a look at this website:

Where can I go to take a reliable IQ assessment to see how much of a brainlet I am? I don't trust any of these "free" online ones.

Wouldn't a manned super sonic ramjet propulsion aircraft, that uses a propeller power plant to rise to high altitude - subsonic obviously - then activate the ram jet and dive to super sonic speeds to help overcome wave drag to level super sonic flight, be really fucking cool?

Then again, a nuclear thermal thrust turbine would be more cost effective, yes?

>>8997817
This is partially proof that the earth is flat. If the round-earthers were right, then if the Hyper-Sonic aircraft flew in a straight line it would fly into space. The only way these kinds of aircraft can exist at those speeds is if the world is flat.

He's trying to say that Jordan Peterson criticizes modern psychology of endorsing non-scientific stuff, but simultaneously he, himself, believes non-scientific stuff described in the Bible.

why are STEM majors so autistic?
as a business major when i ask people what their majors are they pause for a good 2 seconds and say "mechanical engineering", "computer science" in a monotone voice.
they reek so much autism its funny.

lol at these faggots who think chad will work for them, because the true red pill is they will work FOR chad!

STEM majors reek autism, they resemble autism.
and from your reply you are projecting your numerical autism towards me.

you will never understand because to begin with you have never experienced being inside a woman before.

If you look at a traditional Russian program in mathematics and CS then you see that both their pure math training & computer scientist training BTFO the rest of the world.

Why is that? The level Russians have their pre-teens do is the same level that advanced seniors in American colleges do.

Same applies with math training.

Why is that Ivan?

I think it would help your thread if you posted an example of their programs, I doubt most people here can read Russian to even look one up

>>8997094
This is considered an "Intermediate course" not an "Advanced" one. Undergraduate level.
>>
>>8997115
as someone who actually took that class through that program, I can tell you the categorization of elementary/intermediate/advanced is fairly arbitrary, or at least some intermediate classes were obviously more difficult that the advanced classes. that topology course was essentially graduate level the year I was there, or at least the majority of the people in the class were graduate students

also most of the classes on that website severely underestimate the pre-requisites

how would you expand it?

The chances of x happening are small (say, 1 in 10). You have two buttons in front of you, a green button and a red button.

- If X does not happen and you pressed the green button, you lose $6000
- If X does not happen and you pressed the red button, you lose $1000

- If X does happen and you pressed the green button, you lose nothing
- If X does happen and you pressed the red button, you lose $1000

What button do you press and why?

>>8995671
I won't press a button, why would I?
>>
>>8995675
The premise is such that you must press a button

Assume that deciding not to press any button has a cost of $6000 regardless of X's outcome
>>
>>8995677
Then the red button
red button = 100% chance of losing $1000
green button = 90% chance of losing $6000, 10% chance of +/-0 = $5400 loss on average

Random intoxicated question, the surface gravity on earth is 9.798 meters/square second. Jupiter and Saturn are 10.44 and 11.15 respectively, if in the future we were to be able to quickly and efficiently travel between these planets and live on them, when you returned to earth how much stronger would you be reverting to a place with less gravity? Can anyone math this shit up?

Never watched dragon ball. Just was thinking that if you were living in that environment everything would be heavier causing even simple activities like standing up to put more stress on your muscles. Eventually when your body adjusted and you'd come back to earth you'd have to be much stronger and capable of jumping higher or running faster

What do you answer?
Go.

though physics might be less practical than engineering in terms of corporate success, I believed it would be more useful to me to be able to master the ability to think abstractly and come up with efficient, new ways of looking at problems

I think it shows that math doesn't really intensify in difficulty past calculus it just gets more convoluted and unintuitive. In mathematics you pretty much just need to know the rules and be a passable problem solver.

moving to central Missouri a week and a half before it's gonna happen. I'm gonna be right smack dab under the umbra.
I'm so excited it almost makes up for having to live in the middle of Missouri for four or five years.
