And by the way, you can still do well with a pure Science curriculum. It is by no means a discouragement. However, you won't have much time for anything else. Jobs, gone; girlfriend, definitely gone; family, backseat. Etc, etc. A pure science curriculum demand a lot. Next semester, I take about three advanced Mathematics courses with OChem. Not the first time, but still depressing. ._. Weight gain, pimple breakouts, irritable and little sleep. Looking forward to the pain.

BA? In Biomedical SCIENCES?

.. What?

Moving on, that seems good. Why're you taking 'intro to Chem' though? Just jump straight into Gen. Chemistry. You're not a pussy. Furthermore, you won't be taking those in any order.

Your science-based semester will probably look like this:

1. Trig and Precalc(assuming it's the same course. if not...then wow. bad curriculum).
2. Gen Chem I.
3. Fundamentals of Bio 1.
4. Statistics.

Second semester:

1. Calc with analytical Geometry.
2. Bio 2
3. Chem 2.
4. Physics 1.

Third semester:

1. Calc 2.
2. OChem 1
3. Physics 2.
4. Extra Bio course.

Fourth:

1. Ochem 2.
2. Ochem Lab I.
3. Probably quantitative analysis.
4. Random Science course.

You're going to kill yourself for wasting your liberal art cores. Seriously; what you're looking at is pure Science and that's killer.

This.

Move to polar coordinates.

>>1246082

No deflector shields. Pic related.

Nothing more to say.

don't create a thread to reply to a post.

>>1246042

Engineer, eh?

>>1246027

Enjoy being a Physicist? Still doesn't make sense when you actually correlated Engineers and creation.

And for your fucking info, I'm a Mathematician. Faggot.

>>1245845

>engineering
>create

Really? I mean, come on.

Really?

You guys don't create shit. You're trained to manipulate laws grounded in Physics and follow the guidelines put forth by Mathematics. Depending on your specific engineering discipline, you also have to follow the guidelines of chemistry, biology or some other Science.

I give you guys a shitload of credit and I respect all engineers as much as I respect a Scientist as you are both equally capable of amazing feats. But, don't you dare ever try to say you guys 'create' something. Engineers don't create shit. You simply manipulate what is laid out before you.

I'm not implying that at all. You people don't even know how to imply correctly or use it. This is like the second time someone's used it incorrectly.

If you must know, I was actually commenting on the fact that he reiterated what the other poster said whilst proving himself to be macho. The other poster said:

f(x) = e^rx
f'(x) = re^rx

This is a true statement, provided that r is a constant. The person I quoted said:

y = e^f(x)
y' = e^f(x) * f'(x)

There's ... no difference. One is using is the f(x) term instead of rx. Maybe you should think about it again. Srsly.

upload to rhizome.

i'd really, really like the ODE and PDE books you have.

OP, you can choose to work for the Government. i'm thinking about interning for the CIA/NSA next year over the summer. they have an undergraduate program for CIA/NSA hopefuls, so i may just do that. D:

Really? REALLY? Fucking replying in a troll thread?

>>1147793

Is this Math review or actual homework from your class?

>>1147455

he's kind of right.

you could go to a mediocre state school, but get accepted into princeton/harvard/columbia and everyone would be on your dick. it's a step-up, for one, and it means that you're learning quality graduate education at one of the best universities ever.

A lot of my professors went to 'OK' Universities, but went on to Stanford, MIT, Harvard, etc. to complete their PhD. It's cool if you go from MIT to Princeton, but it's also fine if you go from Stony Brook to Princeton(Stony Brook isn't bad, btw; just isn't ranked as top as MIT).

holy shit, he has such yellow teeth.

damn.

By the way:

Lim x-> +0 1/x^44 would reach zero. The bottom would become larger exponentially. So, think of 1 / (999999999)^44. It'd reach zero .. eventually. It's just summarized to zero, mathematically.

These two posts are correct. There are larger infinities and smaller infinities. Some actually reach it faster than others; some reach it slower.

i have 1 year or so left of my undergrad in mathematics and i still can't give you a concrete definition of what the fuck infinity really is.

it's just never ending. that's how i've always comprehended it, personally. there are entire mathematical fields dedicated to finding out what infinity exactly is. no one really knows the -true- answer to that question you posed.

Mathematically, it's pretty easy to decipher. We just chalk it up on paper to infinity and, when manipulating certain functions, we utilize infinity as a basis for something extremely big. Usually, it always cancels out and we find a realistic answer. It's still one of those 'up in the air' concepts though..and then, it isn't, because the definition is pretty obvious. As human beings, however, we normally think of something coming to a complete halt and/or end. Infinity just doesn't.

price was 'originally' 30, but they were jipped momentarily. shopkeeper went back to pay them the extra 5 euros.

30-5 => 30 - (3 + 2) => 30 - 3 - ( 2 ) = 27 - 2 = 25.

the problem is that you're assuming they would pay 9 dollars, in general, to account for 25 euros. for 3 people, 25/3 = 8.33. Each would have to pay 8.33; they wouldn't pay 10 dollars each and it won't be accounted for when you pose it like how you did in the question. Different circumstances/numbers are used in the beginning and the end. That's where the dilemma starts.

In the end, the shopkeeper still jipped them.

no. you could have the greatest teacher/professor in the world, but some concepts are downright difficult to master.

For me, Lenz's law and it's application was difficult. The concept is sound, but it comes off as redundant to me. Even now, I don't remember it. All I know is that the direction magnetism gives off is redirected along a wire, but then directed backwards again. Something like that.

Read about him, dude. Euler is up there with Gauss and Newton.

Fyi: Newton was also considered to be highly religious.

>>1113175

If you do, stay away from the crowds and try to join a really good study group in your classes/fields. The professors here are top-notch(The faculty at City College in the Math department is fucking impeccable. Yeshiva University, MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, etc. They're ALL fucking amazing). Be prepared to work your ass off and be in dem books.

Hunter College only offers BA, BA/MA and MA programs for Mathematics.
