As far as math goes calculus is the easiest. If your foundation in algebra and trig is strong then calculus is a piece of cake. Every math after engineering math gets harder and more abstract

>>8720170
people who struggle with calculus are actually struggling with algebra.

calculus is literally one new concept wrapped up in fancy algebra and trig.

Of course the mathematics that comes after calculus are harder, but I feel like calculus is the biggest step you will take in academia. Therefore, it is the hardest to learn.

It's only possible to evolve into lower dimensions

For example, Lagrange evolved into a painting, which is 2D. One day all pictures of Lagrange will be eroded, and he will exist only as a story in a textbook, which is measured in 1 dimension of language.
When Lagrange fades forever into obscurity, only the dimensionless quantity known as "the net entropy of Lagrange" will exist.

this isn't a dumb math question kid, this is the real world. There is no dimensions here.

It's probably just decreasing as you relax. Try before and after fapping as well.

Well, I was walking inbetween, that's the thing, which made me wonder. That's the point.

On the first and highest measurement, I've had a longer resting time.

Between the next ones I was walking around the room and drinking water. Less resting time.

Despite lower resting time, BP dropped.

Bump I want to be rich by making a robot that will do housework.

>>8719270
Making robots doesnt require that much knowledge of math, and only a rudimentary understanding of physics. Its more about knowing whatever programming software you decide to go with and knowing how servo motors and encoders work. Its not hard.

if you want to make robots then study robotics, just learn the maths/physics you require to study that subject as you come to need it

Why are the Americans fat ?
Why they exclusivily eat hamburgers ?
Why burgers are better is absolutely every other countries ?
Why can not they eat anything that is not full of chemical substances and GMO ?
Why do they agree to pay 100 000£ for a liberal degree ?
Why even their cops are obese ?
Why even their sport coaches are obese (topkek) ?
Why 25% of USA speak Spanish ?

Why are 50% students of MIT foreigners ? Are 'muricans that dumb ?
Why are they ugly ?

>Have I fallen for a meme degree?
yeah. you should have just done ME and taken some aerodynamics electives.

aerospace is like every other niche engineering field. limited number of companies, sensitive to market fluctuations, highly competitive, etc.

if its something that really interests you, you are going to need a masters anyways so its not even worth it to potentially hamstring yourself until you get past undergrad. you better have a really good fuckin' reason to be doing anything other than ChemE, EE, ME, or CivE for your bachelors.

>or, in the case of natural motion, the object's weight
the object's weight is a force

You are in good company friend. People thought everythng aristotle said was correct for almost 2000 years, these dead souls will surely provide you with the discourse you desire.

>>8718811
Maybe he was right? What quantity has a moving object related to one that is still? Velocity and motion yes, but what really is are those?

Would not eat that, would definitely let someone know. Carcinogens dont make a good lunch

I already finished my lunch. But here is an updated pic of the spoon.

>>8718671
>cafeteria food
>plastic spoon
Nigger not to be elitist prick or anything but your standard of living is worse of a house dog and that said I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole.
If you want you can order high performance plastic spoons they use in MRIs the American ones are especially good meaning stiff,resistant and inert.

For a couple reasons. First, there's no point learning the material without getting a degree to prove you learned the material. The only people who care enough to learn it in the first place are already attending college. People generally don't even like learning, even when they have paid for the damn course.

So here you have what the general populace view as free, time-wasting, useless torture.

Honestly I agree with the time-wasting part. If you are passionate about this shit to learn on your own, just make it your career already. Otherwise, just do something fun. Learning science isn't going to make you some enlightened genius, and I'm so sick of these pompous neets bragging about how smart they are because they learn this for fun. They don't learn it for fun, they learn it to brag that they learned it.

Even before I saw the image name I knew it was the Stewart.

Still, what makes his book any worse than any other calculus. I mean, they always coming with new "editions" to "improve learning outcomes".

>>8720435
cos^2(x)+sin^2(x)=1

cos^2(x)-1= -sin^2(x)

now substitute

into your trig identity

cos^2(x)-sin^2(x)=cos(2x)

2cos^2(x)-1=cos(2x)

>>8720438
Thank you for the thorough explanation.

>uggghhhh I hate learning math
Don't be a mathematician
>but I love applying it
Be an engineer/physicist/chemist/etc.

>>8720072
That's the idea mang.
I'm hoping to enter STEM, I want to be an engineer or maybe a theoretical physicist, but fucking god, I'm so tired of studying. I want to DO. I have 1000x more fun sitting down and actually solving and doing shit than I do just sitting here toiling away through these FUCKING pages.

In order to actually get to be an engineer or enter STEM, I HAVE to know this shit, so I HAVE to fucking learn it.

>>8720078
What is it you're currently struggling with? T. Mech. Eng. here who posted above, I found certain mathematical concepts hard to grasp but loved EVERY part of Calculus. Maybe it's just the stuff or subject you're learning. You and I are similar in the fact that we want to get out there and apply what we know but what we sometimes forget is that we must learn these things before we can actually apply it.
