I finished integration by parts, u-substitution and other equivalent calculus tasks in high-school.
However I believe I need to practice problem solving with these techniques. Any good resources on that? Like physics problems etc ALL involving pure calculus
irodov mechanics
enjoy crying yourself to sleep tonight
Classical mechanics
Electrodynamics
Statistics
I've never bothered practicing those integration techniques beyond basic familiarity. Sure, I know about trig substitutions and partial integration and partial fractions and shit, but whenever a complicated integral comes up I just put it into Mathematica. What's the point in spending pages doing tiring computations (while risking to make some sign error somewhere or whatnot)?
What's the best book to learn about algorithms?

What would happen if I went into a parallel universe, found a hotter female version of myself, and then I get her pregnant?
Put it this way, I wouldn't fancy the offspring's chances.
>>7807437
About the same as getting your fraternal twin sister pregnant, somewhat worse.

How do I raise my IQ 10+ points?
>>7807205
Learn yourself a musical instrument.
>>7807205
Practice taking IQ tests over and over until you get better at taking them.
>>7807214
this desu i started my bacheror's on IQ test engineering and i'm scoring 160 atm.
Guys! I might actually finally learn Calculus from my parent's basement.
lmao what a sadcase

I'm picturing the girl on the cover in a tentacle rape situation asking you to calculate the volume of the rape-demons many pulsating, probing tentacles.
I still don't think that'd make calculus fun.
>>7807067
I just finished differential equations and vector calculus however, I'm definitely giving this a read.
What programs do you guys use to draw simple diagrams like pic related? I don't need something too complex, but it has to be able to label things like angles. TikZ doesn't seem to perform as well unless you spend over 50 hours learning it.

I'm sure there's some latex package somewhere

I used to make free body diagrams for physics 1 lab using draftsight.
What's the best edition of Euclid's Elements?
The only complete version I can find is this one, but as you can see there's a couple of problems with it.
>>7805851
The edition where you come up with the axioms yourself and the prove everything on your own.
Or what, are you a pussy bitch ass liberal arts major?

What problems?
ITT: Prove that you exist.
Protip: you can't
>>7805789
I don't
>>7805789
I think, therefore I am a black hole.
if only I could dump water on you through the internet
Deepwater horizon thread.
Share some materials, papers, links, maps etc. that could be of interest concerning the 2010 oil spill.
What are the ecological repercussions on mexico gulf shores and sea quality/wildlife?
How did they seal the underwater leak? Is it temporary?
>>7804214
If I rubbed a bunch of that grease on my dongle would it be a good substitute for ky?
Nigger I think you should learn about diffusion and the relative size of the gulf of mexico to an oil well. Literally nothing happened.
Also oil is organic shit its not radioactive waste like some people act.

I know a couple people here work at spacex as engineers but what about the technical side?
I'm a qualified avionics tech with multiple nasa/mil-std certs and a math BS.
Woild working as a tech there be worth it? The shifts are quite long and the pay isn't indicated but the idea of working on F9s and FHs eventually sounds pretty cool.
Tl;dr: Does anyone know anything about the technicians work environment at SpaceX?
I've seen a couple of SpaceX employees on /sci/.
My question is: is any of them involved with Hyperloop?
>>7799747
The hyperloop has gone way beyond sci, you have companies working on actual prototypes now - multi-million dollar investments.
>>7799808
I thought it was in the billions wasn't it?
Anon, have you ever seen this video? If you have comments of it? If you haven't, watch then give opinion?

Sure he looks like a faggot, but did you even listen to what he says
>tfw family will never know what cohomology is...
>they'll never even know what a functor is...
>Why live...?
Post your /sci/ feels
>>7802572
Algebraic Topology is overrated
>>7802579
>he things functors and cohomology belong to the field of algebraic topology
>Most people think mathematicians deal with numbers, and think mathematicians are like advanced accountants
Is it better to study Maths or Physics in terms of jobs.
>>7798865
Just study what you like you nigger
Maths, you can go to finance easier.
*EASIER, you can do it as well with physics, but it's more "expected" for math majors.
The more you know - the more you get.
Science doesn't matter. If you want to know less but get more - neither would help you.
I would chose math lol.
Why aren't we talking about KIC 8462852?
They just proved it's not comets.
>From the early 1890s to the late 1980s, KIC 8462852 has faded by 0.193+-0.030 mag. This century-long dimming is completely unprecedented for any F-type main sequence star. So the Harvard light curve provides the first confirmation (past the several dips seen in the Kepler light curve alone) that KIC 8462852 has anything unusual going on.

RIP OPs mom
>>7785791
Suprised we have more proof so soon that leans towards a 'giant construction project' theory
Does anyone on /sci/ actually teach a course? I swear my math professor posts on /sci/, Dr. Jan Feys are you here?
Yes I'm here.
>>7807791
I know of a few professors that browse 4chan though not frequently.
I TA a course if that counts as an "instructor" since I someitmes do lectures by myself.
>>7807807
Just how do you "know"?
