There is an exam coming up this week.
The exams are notoriously difficult for this professor. Typically there are 2 midterms but professor reduced the exams to 1 and covered more material than normal.
He has 6 prior midterms posted, 3 midterm 1 and 3 midterm 2. He said our midterm will be a bit of both midterms 1 and midterms 2 from previous semesters.
I have been taking each exam as if it were the real deal and then grading myself against his rubric. After this I been analyzing every problem I missed and in some cases wait a while and reworked each problem I missed and checked against the answer again. if I missed anything again I'd make the minor corrections and analyze why I missed what I did, and reattack it a day or two later, each time learning more and more about certain tricks/seeing new patterns. After being able to do all the problems on said exam to near perfection I moved on to the next exam.
But what has discouraged me about this approach is I am seeing a lot of post online where students are simply looking at the answer to a problem and asking why the answer is what it is. They are doing it so frequently it looks like they aren't even taking the exams but looking at the problem, the solution and doing 'mental checks' that they could have came up with the solution and move to the next problem.
Is my approach good, or should I just look at the solutions to all the exam problems and memorize?
My approach is slow. I took 2 exams out of 6. The test is in 4 days (thursday).
With the approach my clasmates are taking I could look at all 6 exams in a day since I'd just be looking at solutions.
BUT I feel like these problems are so tricky you could easily fool yourself into thinking you know how to do the problem since you 'see' the tricks in the solution without thought, then bomb the real exam.

Your classmates are retarded and you actually have work ethic. Carry on.
Assuming you have enough time and don't have to "cram", then using spaced repitition is best for memorization.
>>8725324
>>8725325
Thanks. I appreciate the motivation to keep carrying on. I looked at the "solutions" to some of the problems I've missed (first pass) and though "oh yeah thats trivial" then re-did the problem again and would get stuck in a new place, despite finding the answer "trivial" a day or two ago. I reworked one problem 2-3 times until I perfected it and learned something significant each go around. Now I feel very confident I'd be able to figure out problems of those types now on the exam...
I feel like my classmates are simply looking through all 6 exams super fast, and thinking each solution is trivial/they understand it...
I'll ignore their post online and continue taking these exams. I have 4 days. I plan to complete 2 exams tomorrow (Monday) and 2 exams Tuesday. Then use Wednesday to look over everything well....
I'm reading through all my lectures for definitions, ensuring I ~really~ know the definitions well since they are important for our shit.
Anyways, thanks anons. I'll keep chugging on
Alright /sci/ answer me this. If an astronaut gently pushes itself away from the ISS in the direction of the earth, they will see the ISS slowly recede away from view as they travel at a constant velocity with nothing to slow them down. Will they eventually reach the earth? I don't understand this.
>>8725279
Yes, but they will slow down with the more atmosphere particles they hit the closer to Earth they get. They won't reach Earth, they'd burn up in the atmosphere.
>>8725302
I'd think that contact with the atmosphere would cancel out the astronaut's horizontal velocity, thus bringing them out of orbit.
>>8725307
Oops, I misread that. I meant to ask if even the slightest push eventually take an object out of orbit. If I were to nudge the ISS would it eventually fall into earth's atmosphere and burn up?

The DF computer seems too complicated to understand, but does anyone understand the first or second computers?
I thought this was pretty interesting stuff
Guess /sci/ isn't worth that much after all

the first video is 18 minutes
you bumped a mere 15 minutes after starting the thread
and /sci/ is a slow board

So you're saying I should of waited longer, didn't, therefore should kill myself, and may or may not know if anyone understands how this computer works?
Why it isn't ethic to deeply research Human genetic engineering? This has to be the thing that I hate the most in science.
I wonder how many private (or uknown) cross breedings of humans and other species have happened, and what were the results.
Or what about being able to change the DNA to be tall, stonger, inmune to diseases etc.
Or maybe how clones would survive, are they entirely 100% a copy? etc.
You get what I mean, I hate so much that we can't research about our own species when talking about genetic engineering because "ethics".
Who the fuck cares honestly? This is honestly a huge thing that has and WILL keep humanity back for a lot of thousands of years.
Get your god damn ethics and philosphy out of my science REEEEEEEEEEE-
>>8724811
All genetic engineering research has implications for human genetic engineering, so we are.
The "ethics" you generally refer to are an interesting and important field of discourse. Learning a little about the ideas there would probably alleviate some of your frustration.
p.s. The Scientific Method is a philosophical framework, desu. Science IS philosophy.

holy fuck you're a retard.
How does speed affect force?
Like if a guy manages to jump 20 feet distance, then if he doubled his speed how far would he jump?
Pic somewhat related, though it's more of a slow time than stop
there's an x (forward) and h (upwards) component to his jump.
Call the jumping off speeds in those directions v_x and v_h.
His height as a function of time is
H(t) = t · v_h - t^2 · g/2
= t · (v_h - t · g/2)
where g is the gravitation acceleration on earth.
The time value T for which H(T)=0 is the time the guy is in the air:
T = 2·v_h / g
The distance he jumps is
T · v_x
= 2 v_x · v_h / g
This is linear in v_x (so doubling v_x doubles the distance) but quadratic in the total velocity v. If he jumps in the air more aggressively, he has more time and gets further.
If by force you mean air resistance, IIRC it scales v^2 for small velocity and v^3 for large.

Guys what's the specification of a machine that can travel in time and is it possible if no why ? And Also why we cant create Einstein-Rosen Bridge ?
>>8724563
No.
>>8724563
you can time travel, but only in future.

Is the education worth it if you become an autistic wierdo as a result?
No
Might as well kill yourself now before you get autism, OP

hows high-school doin for ya?
what the hell, nature
anyone had/bypassed this problem?
How dare you post this code monkey shit on /sci/? Crawl back to your /g/ and never come back.
in case it wasn't clear, I'm trying to log in through my university to access some papers
>>8724526
it's nothing to do with /g/ actually. it's not my code you mingmong
as an idiot that doesn't know how to learn could someone dumb down statistical math for me?
here's my problem. average man has 10% chance of suicide from divorce, average man has 70% chance of divorce. how do i combine the two statistics to give the chances of suicide from marriage in this mans case? And if the man had a mental illness with a specific% suicide rate, how to add that in also?

Bayes

thanks but the wikipedia page hurts my brain.
> Despite the apparent accuracy of the test, if an individual tests positive, it is more likely that they do not use the drug than that they do
>>8724442
It's easier to think of if you break the set of all men into subsets, draw like, a Venn diagram or some visual representation and Bayes' theorem will come to you.
[eqn]
P(A|B) = \frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B)}
[/eqn]
P(Married) is the probability a man is married, P(Married|Cancer) is the probability they are married given the fact that they have cancer (the group of men with cancer who are also married).

What's a good book on mathematical logic?
>>8724282
none really but chang and kiesler is fine
As opposed to what other logic?
Also, that picture with a highly questionable edge ratio, two fonts and three font sizes,... just no

I just found an approximation to e, in geometry. It is 99.91%
It is the ratio of the volume of a sphere and a cube, where the radius of the sphere is the length from the center to the cube's corner. It is simple algebra, but it's kinda nifty and cool
>>8724016
Post proofs.
this is fucking dumb. go play with chicken bones you fucking numerologist.
also post proof
OP here, Proof:
Volume of sphere:
[math] V_1= \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 [/math]
Volume of cube:
[math] V_2=a^3 [/math]
Right triangle so that
[math]x^2+x^2=a^2 \Leftrightarrow[/math]
[math]2x^2=a^2 [/math] (1)
We realize that
[math] \displaystyle{ \left( \frac{1}{2}a \right)^2}=x^2 \Leftrightarrow [/math]
[math]\left ( \frac{1}{2}a \right )^2+x^2=r^2\Leftrightarrow
x=\sqrt{r^2-\frac{1}{4}a^2}[/math]
We'll skip the simplification and end up, when we combine the two
[math]a= \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}r \Leftrightarrow a^3=V_2=\frac{8 \sqrt{3}}{9}[/math]
so
[math]\frac{V_2}{V_1} [/math]
...simplification...
[math]\frac{V_2}{V_1}=\frac{3 \pi}{2 \sqrt{3}} \approx 2,721 [/math]
[math] e \approx 2,718 [/math]
Whats up with this fly?
Probably just an alien robot spying fly nothing to be alarmed at you can pet it if you want.

Sure, but why is it white. Are all immature house flies white before they turn black?
>>8724015
It's white thus more intelligent.
