  1. It's been a while since I visited SFN, but I can offer some wisdom, that is, create some articles during the weekend.

     

    WiSci looks promising.

     

    I have two questions/requests, and excuse my laziness :P

     

    1. Seems like there are many guidelines to follow in submitting an article. Is there a numbered list/strict guidelines somewhere to follow when submitting an article?
      [edit] Would this be it? http://www.wisci.org/wiki/WiSci:Style_guidelines But what's this with peer reviewing and such?
    2. Will WiSci be kept strictly to Pure Sciences, or can Applied Sciences/Engineering articles be created there too?
      I ask this because I'm studying the latter and can offer more in that category.

     

    Thanks

  2. I'm from the Toronto area, and afaik, HS courses are credited the same.

     

    In fact, many grade 10's and 11's take grade 11 and 12 courses during this time, to lighten their workload for the fall and winter semesters.

     

    What type of jobs are you looking to apply for?

    If general labour, then they don't care much for what you're taking anyways.

     

    I think the reading lists should be approximately the same, since the curricula are the same throughout the school board anyways.

     

    Feel free to ask more questions. After all, it'll happen alot in English ;)

  3. I wasn't able to find any links online, but the University of Waterloo has/had an interesting shirt; my former high school math teacher wore it one day.

     

    On the front and back of the shirt, Physics formulas are written all over, and it basically looks like a scribble of writting. It's funny because the font seems hand-written, and the size is maybe 12 at most.

     

    It's quite amazing.

    :lol:

  4. What they mean is that there is an error term, on the order of x2 and order of x, in reference to the last line ofc.

     

    Since you are taking the limit as x approaches 0, x will become very small, so x2 << 1, and x << 1/3.

     

    Thus, they are negligible, and can be tossed away.

  5. I don't understand what you're trying to say here.

     

    So, stem cells can grow into any kind of tissue, or stem cells can grow in any kind of tissue?

     

    What's this about creating muscle?

  6. You mean they're not the same?

     

    State != Church?

     

    By golly ...

     

    On the other side of the fence, I agree with you guys --- patriotism is similar to religion in the living sense. After living, religion brings in an after-death scenario. I don't know if patriotism talks of anything after.

  7. Is this applicable even in the physics world? Or was that more of a general comment?

     

    I've heard of companies that wouldn't hire physics PhDs because of the concern that they wouldn't have a business focus. But it's not universal. Plenty of academic types go off and work for or even start up companies.

     

    My cousin is doing is Masters in Economics, and some of the places he's been applying to say that he is overqualified for the position as well.

  8. no haha im not 4 years old im mid teens, and i live on the east coast of Canada. Ive seen some commercials about Bell mobility having some high speed capabilities, what do some think of this or do you know of any feedback from Bell users?

     

    Bell High Speed rocks ;)

  9. unfortunately, im in 8th grade and in my "neck of the woods", the kids ain't to bright so they dont show it............... I, however, was soking up the bits of this show I saw like a sponge....... guess im a weirdo :D ......

     

    no way

     

    Though, I can't say that the Elegant Universe is on-par with the Magic School Bus...

  10. That statement is self-refuting. If you cannot prove anything to be true' date=' then you cannot prove that very claim to be true, so there's no reason to regard it as such.

     

    This world is real, even if I was plugged into a giant computer simulation and wasn't aware of it. My failure to understand the true nature of my world doesn't render my world unreal.

     

     

    I don't agree with your epistemology. There are things which are blatantly self-evident that to deny them would be absurd. Your own existence, for instance, is one of many things which can be treated as axiomatic. It is self-evident. To deny it is preposterous, as you must exist in order to carry out the act of denial. The exact nature of my existence is irrelevant to my existence itself, so no need to bring up lines of inquiry like "well how do you know you really exist and are not a sprite in a big computer game?" If it turns out I am a sprite in a computer game, I still exist albeit as a sprite in a computer game.[/quote']

     

     

    heh

     

    I was going to say something along the lines of PersonCube as well, that is, the mind-body problem.

     

    Note however AL, that claims are not true, nor are they false; they are valid or invalid.

  11. I'm not sure what y is myself.

     

    e is the natural log.

    It's defined as the area under curve of y=1/x, bounded 1 and some number, e, such that the area is 1.

     

    phi is the golden ratio.

    I haven't applied phi anywhere in my studies yet, but I remember a SFN thread talking about it.

  12. What's the point of the H2O?

     

    ho ho ho?

     

    Or is it because Santa's looking @ the snow?

     

    ^o)

     

    else: i think it was good, though they should have written 2.71828...

     

    actually, they should have written "Limit n->Inf (1 + 1/n)^n"

     

    That would've been more fun.

  13. Blah

     

    All the papers I want go to Pubmed, which then takes me to ScienceDirect, which then wants me to pay! <_<

     

    I found a good site for papers though: http://carcin.oupjournals.org/

     

    There's other categories too.

     

    Does anyone have any other sites that have FREE online papers?

     

    In particular, papers dealing with the maths and physics of radiation backscatter?

     

    Thanks in advance, if you have any ... :)
