Being a STEM major and teach at secondary level makes you the biggest loser, however, being a Professor at a nice un won't make you look bad since you (usually) have a nice salary of 80+k/yr if you become full professor, get into good research and don't have to deal with kids since you could be with the MS people.

Three people named Alex, Blair, and Casey were questioned about the theft of a
rare manuscript. One of them committed the theft, one was an accomplice, and the other
was innocent. Each of these statements was made by one of the three people:
(1) Alex is not the accomplice.
(2) Blair is not the thief.
(3) Casey is not innocent.
The following facts are known about statements 1-3:
(I) Each statement refers to a person other than the speaker.
(II) The innocent person made at least one of the three statements.
(III) The innocent person told the truth.
(IV) Statements made by the thief or the accomplice are false

Can we have a thread about planetariums? I just had an awesome experience. Time for a cool starry bro.
I've been kinda pissed at modern planetariums skipping the star projection and instead showing you a movie of Neil deGrasse Tyson. So I decided to see the oldest American star projector in the country in Springfield's planetarium. Really disappointed when it turned out the day's program was a video about oceans or some shit.
But...I started talking to the presenter before the show started. Told this friendly old man how much I was looking forward to seeing a real star projection. Well, he said said if my girlfriend and I were the the only people there by the time the show was supposed to start, he'd scrap the canned show and give us the traditional projection he'd been doing for decades.
So that's exactly what we got. A 100% manual presentation about the night's sky, the seasons, and the constellations, run on a 1930s star projector, personally narrated by this man using the script he'd memorized years ago. For just the two of us.
Maybe I'm a faggot but that made me so fucking happy. I think the guy was happy someone showed up who actually wanted the real planetarium experience. Major props to chill old planetarium dude.

Previous thread: >>8591198
Post all your stupid questions that don't deserve their own thread here.
I'm trying to find two compact connected surfaces that are not homotopy equivalent but become homotopy equivalent after removing one point from each.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_(topology)#Classification_of_closed_surfaces
says there's only the homeomorphism classes of the sphere, the connected sum of g-tori and connected sums of real projective planes
A sphere minus a point is homotopic to a point and a torus minus a point is homotopic to a figure eight, but what does a real projective plane minus a point look like?

I'm currently reading a book and wtaching math lectures online but I feel like I'm learning way too slow. I feel like I learned way faster way back in school.
How can I speed up the learning process in STEM related subjects? Any tips and ideas?
It feels pretty bad desu
>>
>>8605094
pretty sure RP2 minus a point is S1, because it's like the sphere without a point+antipode
so maybe uhh RP2#RP2 and a torus? when removing a point from each of them this should give a bouquet of 2 circles in each case, and I don't think they're homotopy equivalent

Fellow companons I'm a Junior(CS) from FSU(I know it's a mediocre school) I will be double majoring pure math.And I just had the realization that I want to study math till the day I die,and know All I can about it.I know we have a math guide here in the board .But what would you recommend me to do?

At FSU I should have a better GPA but I think I would be able to transfer.

Incidentally, drop the CS part. Chances are you're not smart enough to handle the load of two majors CS+math.

Hey guys, help a /sci/entist out- my class needs the pdf of the 5th Edition of Statics and Mechanics of Materials (Hibbeler) and none of us can find the textbook for less than 300 bucks.

You're not a /sci/entist. Your class literally just needs to chip in and share. Why so cheap?

This Hibbeler sounds like a real asshole. An introductory engineering text for 300 dollars. How greedy.

I found the pdf in literally 10 seconds. I'm not going to give it to you, because then you won't learn anything.
How unhealthy is it to eat meat?

Nobody really knows. Some research says it's nitrites in processed meat which cause problems. Some say it's not the meat per se, but that eating meat may tend to go along with not eating enough vegetables. Some research says that we don't have the right gene to help us process meat and we end up with carcinigenic byproducts; can't remember the detail, google is your friend.
And then there may be individual, or racial, genetic differences to take into account.
Who really knows?
With one eye on the research, such as it is, I'm of the opinion that it is a good thing to listen to your body and try to eat what seems healthy to you. For me, that's a little red meat regularly, but mostly chicken and fish, with eggs, nuts and vegetables, no milk and low grains. YMMV. It's 'unscientific' but while the science isn't giving us too much to go on re. meat, listening to what my body wants seems to be as good an option as any.

I still have nightmares of that God forsaken thread. So little information was conveyed in that thread and yet it just would not die.
What are some examples of different media (movies, books, video games, etc.) that explain science fiction concepts well?
The concepts do not necessarily do not have to be realistic. I am more concerned with how well the creator can explain their creation to make it somewhat believable.

Really hard to tell from your description OP. Practice can fix a lot of issues, but not being quick witted enough will kill you in advanced classes in college. After all, most of your scores will come from exams which are meant to take the full time period and challenge you.
