I'm quite interested in strings too, and I'll be heading to the public talks.
Maybe I will ask Leonard Susskind to sign my physics book too

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

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.

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.

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?

I think you're correct.
When I restore my 1280*800 to some smaller window, it gets crammed too.
Oh well, the SFN logo is nothing special anyways

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.

Like Dak said, the file may not be the cause of your problem, but here it is anyways, just in case: http://stw.ryerson.ca/~m4yip/c_950.nls

What grade are you in?
Those teachers, are they only for your grade or for the entire school?

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.

PubMed & ScienceDirect are always good places to look for recent, or past journal articles.
Ofc, there's a membership fee involved

What do you mean by cancelling it down?

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

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.

10 is divisible by more prime numbers than 16 (2 rather than 1), and therefore ends up with fewer infinite fractions.
What's an infinite fraction?

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.

What level of maths, phys, chems, and bio are you looking for?
In any case, http://www.sosmath.com has some good maths to try out.

Hey all' date='
I'm in grade 12 and looking into college programs, here's the two i came up with: biological technician and food and drug technician.[/quote']
What does a biological or food and drug technician do?
And, why not just go to University in the first place?

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.

What is an invariant proportion?
I can't be bothered to read up on google what it is

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 ...

WiSci discussion thread
in The Lounge
Posted
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
[edit] Would this be it? http://www.wisci.org/wiki/WiSci:Style_guidelines But what's this with peer reviewing and such?
I ask this because I'm studying the latter and can offer more in that category.
Thanks
