  1. Do teachers laugh at students when they want to be good at something but fall on their faces trying?

    1. Joatmon

      A group of teachers is as diverse as any other group of people. However, in my experience they were always keen that their students would do well and worked towards that aim. I never knew one who would deliberately "put down" a student who was trying to achieve. So in answer to your question I would say no.

  2. So what should I get for an intro to geometry?

  3. So sincere!

      I wouldn't be sincere if I said this was a song I liked!

      Any of the versions - but then I'm a sincere dinosaur - lol!

      Ha . . . I wasn't referencing any song, I can see why you wouldn't like this one! If anything I was quoting fitty cent. Man I have a headache today!

  4. \o/ Ryder's QFT is here . . .

      Ryder's QFT is a very explicit book, this means it is good as a pedagogical introduction.

  5. Transferring to double major math and comp sci at another school. . . . they offer a graduate in math with focus on scientific computing. Fits well with my historical endeavours, I guess I can be a team player and work on problems from an analyst position.

      I do too, but I'm just at pre-calc, that's like saying I like cooking when all I know how to make is cereal. So we'll just have to see, when it comes to me. xD

      You'll get there, be patient with it, math is something you take your time with to get to know. Some people absorb it instantly but at the same time I think that these people tend to miss a lot of subtleties. Time spent is what will take you to where you are a master of the subject. I've had a lot of time to learn maths and I am so excited to go over much of it again because I will learn so much more the second and third and fourth time through.

      You are so right! I can take soooo long with new material, but in the end it pays off.

  6. In Quantum Mechanics a real physical system is represented by a self-adjoint operator.

  7. I have a couple of students on board for a new campaign . . . it's called cure my stupidity 2015. We are pre-planning the campaign in hopes of being able to perform up to generalized global campaign standards. The goal, to abolish my stupidity once and for all!

      I didn't know anything about CBT until I just looked it up. It seems to have very little to do with stupidity and a lot do do with falsely held comparisons between yourself and the world.This makes sense because anyone who has seen your contributions to the forum knows you are highly intelligent. You might consider making a questionnaire that allows other people to grade their anxieties about a range of topics. You may find that your thoughts are more normal than you think.

    4. Joatmon

      Joatmon

      I think I may have misunderstood. Now who's feeling stupid?! Anyway, the "highly intelligent" definitely stands! In science, apparently, cognition is more about mental processes than anxiety.

      But in all seriousness now, it is so awesome to have such a large database of knowledge made available to me from my home computer . . .

      I know. There are times I almost look as if I know what's going on!

  9. It's funny how calculating the number of photons in a pulse of light is still amusing . . . .

  10. Wow P.A.M. Dirac's "General Theory of Relativity." is about . . . . . . . the shortest book ever. \o/

      ajb

      It is very concise and teaches you "index gymnastics". You will want to read a book that contains more geometry after.

      By that I mean, sounds like a pathetic excuse to not proceed with such evaluation.

  12. The RAAS involves the juxtaglomerular apparatus . . . . . well I guess something had to . . . o.o

      These big words have an effect on my blood pressure! Ah well, learn a little every day.

  13. I was telling the story about Prof. Cox today in physics class, and I accidentally called him Bob Cox . . . :/

    1. ajb

      ajb

      Don't worry Swansont has probably called Brian Cox worse things than Bob! :)

      F'n Bob Cox? :D

  14. I had picked up the newer online FF but it wasn't very much fun .. . .

      My turn to get a word wrong - lol.

      Moi could have been one of about three boisterous young ladies. I'm sure quite a lot of men's ears pricked up at the time! Quite educational!

      More specifically, if some fat kid keeps running down that track trying to jump over the hurdles, will that fat kid ever succeed in not knocking one over?

  18. 'Cause all this clever banter gives me the urge to . .. . forgive me if I hesitate. . . . .

      Just read the above comment of yours - perhaps not so funny - best of luck if you are being mentally thrashed.

      Well not to be emotional but some people have it and some people don't. I'll always have my books either way. :D

  20. | The two songs I most commonly find myself whistling:

    |

    | 1) victory song FFI

    |

    | 2) original Zelda theme song

    |

    | as I am walking down school halls, which must just be so weird; especially when I am wearing my Neo(Matrix) looking jacket and fuzzy boots. :/

  21. leave you more*

    *blush*

  22. I like your efforts and appreciate what you say in general. A few months of intensive study on the subject of English would really bring up the quality of your posts to a level that might leave more indisputable. I'm pretty sure you are already aware of this, but I felt some positive reinforcement might motivate you a little more in that direction.

  23. It's my sentence construction that she has problems with, and remember it is Uni level so they can be quite harsh! :D

      Most people emerge from suspension terribly undernourished. I want to congratulate you on beating the odds and somehow managing to pack on a few pounds.

      All these science spheres are made of asbestos by the way, keeps out the rats. Let us know if you feel a shortness of breath, a persistent dry cough, or your heart stopping. Because that's not part of the test, that's asbestos. Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show a median latency of 44.6 years, so if you're thirty or older you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of Canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of scien...

      ...science by three centuries. When I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.
