The common misconception that baffles me is people thinking that mass has anything to do with how something is affected by gravity.

It is literally taught in elementary school that if you drop a baseball and a bowling ball off a tall building at the same time, both will hit the ground at the same time. So what the fuck is going on in peoples' heads when they ask
>"How is light affected by gravity if it has no mass?"

0.9999... = 1

>>8813077
What they're taught in elementary school is that all mass is attracted to the earth at the same rate. I.e, the increased attraction due to a larger mass is "canceled out" by the greater inertial mass, which happen to be exactly the same.

"I'm not a maths person"

>>8812813
I hope you realize that you're proving the whole "math majors are autistic" stereotype

>he fell for the multiple intelligence meme

Yes, it's hard to do

Your social life and mental and emotional health will likely suffer, and unless you're a medical or law student, that's far more than you should need to study to get good grades with a full-time schedule.

Spending 70-80 hours a week between research, studying and teaching as a graduate student is to be expected but that's simply more study time than should be necessary for a standard paced degree program.

Was hoping someone put it all together on 1 page.
Looking to use it as a reference.

Never was a fan of nabla notation, usually it makes no sense in everything else but cartesian coordinates.

>>8812339
The notation from the country that has put men on the moon, I'd say

>>8812457
That would be Germany, and therefore European notation.

You just want me to look at cute boys for 30 mins.

90%

It's a fairly straightforward subject mentioned maybe at the start of one on series

Complex analysis is basically geometric progressions

could you be a little more clear?

>Stars, planets, biological life, are all just methods of increasing the entropy of the universe

Biological life decreases entropy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_and_life

>>8812124
Terraforming of planets, Dyson spheres, and atomic bombs decrease entropy?

>>8812129

Yes.

Every intervention of life (intelligent or not) decreases entropy.

Engineer here. Probably not. Almost all of us work our asses of for four years, get a bachelors degree then settle into a comfy upper middle class life. I sure don't have the willpower for the 12 or so years it takes to be a specialist doctor.

>>8811949
I'm an engineer as well and regret not becoming a specialist doctor

hell I'd probably even do internal medicine or pediatrics now that I know they make 200k/year

I've wondered this myself. For example, if African-Americans are supposedly more "aggressive," why don't they end up in jail more than other groups?

>>8811321
I don't understand what's supposed to be the issue.

That's a really good question. There are different types. So lets start by defining what a meteor is.

>>8811874
Anything that falls from a considerable height at great speed toward the surface that creates heat by way of air friction which in turn creates visible light. Does that sound fair?

>>8810386
Oooh finally a cool question on here

If you haven't mastered whatever thing you have been working on for 416 days worth of practice, you probably should consider what you are doing wrong.

Stop forcing this.

It will not replace the fizzbuzz meme.
It will never become a meme.
Just fuck off.

>I'm not a "math person"

Not even meming, I can't take seriously anyone who says this. If you're bad at math, you're not smart, even if you've managed to convince yourself you are.

Maths is the epitome of rote learning to be taken over by computers.

Enjoy your waste of time.
