You should be fine. You'll have to work harder than the smarter kids and you'll never be top of the class but really a person of average intelligence can pass a first degree if he's prepared to put in the work.

>>8803337
Here is a reality:
Universities will accept people much, much dumber than those averages. In fact, they accept complete 80 digit IQ cavemen.

So you have to take that chance and then get in. Take a strong first semester and see if your caveman brain can adapt and if you can then congrats, you will get a degree.

If you can't live through that semester then you lost 6 months of your life but hey, you are young and stupid so it is not like it counts.

just c/p BLM x100 in your statement and Stanford will admit you +bonus points if you are a minority or a woman

In medicine I hear memory is more important. I'm not sure how important IQ is. My IQ is only 134, but it's pretty clear I'm way better at math than most everyone else on this board.

>>8803206
whats the most acurate way of testing iq online? i got scores varying from 115 to 144

>>8803218
I'm not sure
Most all of my tests are consistent to within 2 points

>>8802891
Oh nevermind a hexagon with all sides equal has angles equal to 120 so i have 30-60-90 triangle etc

Are you American?

>>8802851
because it is literally the same thing

>>8802853
thanks

the rows are calculated using the same operation you could use to calculate binomial coefficients.

Imagine finding (1+x)^k by expanding (1+x)^(k-1) and then multiplying it by 1+x, and collecting like terms.

When you collect like terms you're adding two consecutive coefficients from the expansion of (1+x)^(k-1).

Just like when you find the kth row of Pascal's triangle you add two consecutive entries of the k-1th row

lol

in the context of computer science, 5.0 != 5
one if a floating point number, and caries the necessary information to distinguish it as such. the other is an integer and carries less information, and can be manipulated in simpler ways.

No. Everything in math is a set, and those two sets are not equal.

In number theory, my prof made a point about us not using equality between members of Z and Z/Z_p.

>>8802559
Well, my IQ isn't that high (110) but I'm really excited about it.

>>8802559
I have certified 162 IQ and I don't care about your petty mortal things.

they're the closest thing to abiogenesis, probably.

Found this, might be useful, at least as a starting point for further research.

>Nobody is advancing technology with the pure intention of benefiting mankind.
Was it ever? Tesla wasn't doing it for mankind, he was doing it because he was autistic and it interested him, he was doing it for the personal benefit of knowledge.

>modern science
>for the benefit of mankind
Hahaha no, it will never be worth to help other useless brainlet faggots in the world.

One should be able to work for it, since no one deserves anything.

But too bad some retards are still feeding little niggers in Africa and yet they don't know how to use a fucking condom.

The only people that should be benefited from modern science are the scientists themselves and the rich people that are supporting the projects.

>>8801880
Moving forward stopped being the goal. Getting the 3rd world to expand exponentially and overtake us is the goal.

Don't you learn about the physics and maths of the ocean, as well as about sea creatures?

Pretty much. This depends on the mass-density-volume relationship. Lead is a denser material, so for equal masses of lead and aluminum, the lead will occupy less volume. They have the same mass, though, and therefore require the same force to move (barring effects of increased drag due to greater volume, friction, etc).

>>8801563
Depends on how you measure it

On a scale in a room filled with air a kg of lead will apply a slightly higher force, as it displaces less air. Then again, that will be a tiny difference, and if you measured to that precision you'd be measuring in a vacuum anyways.

Think about this: If you measured underwater, which would be heavier? The lead clearly. Then again, if you wanted to weigh them to abotain mass, you would use a space that has been emptied of water. Same in our atmosphere

It's really more of a gotcha question than anything of actual interest

>>8801563
1 kg is a kg, if you multiply it with the graviation on earth you got the same 9.81N for each of them. But, lead has a higher specific density than aluminium, that meand more static energy is concentrated to the same volume as aluminium. if you look at ther molecular weight or better their atomic weight you can also see that Lead is 7.7 times heavier than Aluminium. But at the end 1 kg is 1 kg and has the same force on earth (even 7,7 times more Aluminium atoms are needed for that).

I would really like to. But I am afraid that I am too much of a brainlet to understand any of it.

Godel looks like a serial killer

Important enough that if you post anything else I'm going to let a certain someone at GA know of the shenanigans of one of their summer engineering ece interns.

Please kill yourself.

OP. Its General fucking Atomics. Fucking take the internship and enjoy it.

People would kill for your spot.

Wow, I actually did not realize it's that well-regarded; there are people around me getting Amazon, Facebook, and Apple, so I just wanted to make sure I'm not making a mistake by going to a non-big four. Thanks for your input.

There are lots of services which aggregate new information and provide summaries, from something like a clinical review in the NEJM to speciality specific publications.
Unless you're in a very small sub specialty it's not really possible to read all the new research being published.
In most places doctors do official CME (continuing medical education), basically where a licensing organization certifies courses, workshops etc which count for time spent updating knowledge.

>>8799570
They don't. Whenever a patient comes in with unknown causes of weird symptoms they just guess until they get it right or until the patient dies. Bonus points if the patient has 2 or more causes of their symptoms.

>>8799570
It's a requirement
CMEs are required by all states
And doctors must pass national boards every 10 years to remain board certified

The national board requirements utilize up to date info, a doctor whom didn't keep uptodate would have issues passing boards based on knowledge 10 years old.

Though, this requirement is being heavily lobbied to end, as specialties such as internal medicine (whom a growing majority are becoming hospitalists) only deal with medical wards or work as intensivists on the units, but the boards continue to demand knowledge of obstetrics (despite OB hospitalists becoming more main stream)

tl;dr they can lose their credentials if they don't keep up to date, and hospitals begin to revoke privileges when this happens

1) Access to instructors and TAs to help you with problems

2) Needed accreditation for a job

3) Provides a cool network to meet people including distinguished professors

There's more to learning than memorising facts.
