How do you guys overcome foreign professors?
I'm taking Linear Algebra right now and my very Chinese prof has a thick accent as he mumbles through a lecture. This isn't some "git gud" faggot stuff. I've had Indian, Chinese, and Vietnamese profs that all had accents, but this is the first time ever that I am incapable of comprehending what he is saying while writing things down. I can either listen and closely think about what he is saying, or I can write what he is writing, but I cannot do both.
Fortunately the text book is Strang's Introduction, so at least I can use MIT's OpenCourseWare to supplement the lectures.

Anyone have tips how to survives a lecturer like this?

Ask questions. Get used to it. Soon or later, in your later education or work, there will be a time where you just need study a topic yourself without a lecturer. Learn how to self-study now. You got the text, there are video lectures, your class has TAs. Make use of them. Don't make excuses. The whole class has the same problem.
>>
>>8628640
I've never interacted with a TA before. Generally speaking what do I get help on from them. I don't want to go to one and have them get pissed off because I should have gone to a tutor instead or something.
>>
>>8628642
It's their fucking job. Try to do your homework. Fail. Describe to TA where you fail. It's simple. Use your brain.

I just went back to the book right now and wasn't even able to prove that the sum of the nth roots of unity was equal to 0. I looked at the answer online and it's just some 1 line (w^n - 1)/(w-1) =0 thing. I never would have thought of that.

REEE

Screw this, I don't have the motivation to self study maths.

Is it possible to become retarded after not using your brain for a while? I have done nothing since the beginning of 2014. Half of that in university, the other half outside of it. I got great grades at school but stupidly did a shitty engineering degree at a shitty university.

What is the physical meaning of a negative activation energy (Ea)? I get how it turns out to be negative and its implications about the reaction mechanism and its effects to temperature dependence. Does it mean anything further than that, on the molecular level?

>>8625524
Are you a chemist or a physicist?

It's just relative energy levels. The negatives could be positive if we set the starting energy to be higher. There's nothing special about it being negative other than that it easily shows the result/direction of the reaction, I think.
>>
It really should be called the change in energy desu.
>>
>>8625524
There is no meaning on potential energy value. The only important thing is difference between two energy values

Never even been to sci before but im curious about something.

What is the speed of force? Say you have a very long steel rod. Like 10 miles long. Of you went to point A and struck it with enough force to reach point B how long would it take for that vibration to reach point B?

This may be a retarded question but im just genuinely curious

It's whatever the speed of sound in that medium is.
>>
>>8625392
Because its a vibration right? What if its in a vacuum?
>>
>>8625405
Sound can't travel through a vaccuum.

But if there is a metal rod in a vaccuum, it will travel through the rod at the speed of sound in that material.

What text would you all recommend for a quick and dirty overview of multivariable/vector calculus? I took "Calc 4" at a local community college, and the content of the course was somewhat minimal. I know how to compute partial derivatives, multiple integrals, ect, but I feel like there is a lot I still need to learn. Stoke's/Greene's Theorems are the names that come to mind, as in, stuff I could touch up on. I'm a math major who is really interested in physics, and I want to take classical mechanics, but I don't wanna get left behind. Books?

For "quick and dirty overview" read Schey's "Div, Grad, Curl, and All That: An Informal Text on Vector Calculus". But a deeper second pass with Hubbard and Hubbard's "Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra and Differential Forms: A Unified Approach" would be more beneficial if you have the time to spare.
>>
>>8624401
Hey, thanks for the reply. I was also thinking about taking a course in vector analysis. Would Hubbard's text prepare me for that?
