/sci/ - Science & Math

Don't. Unless you are an 168 IQ genius, pure math research will lead you nowhere. Just do an applied math degree, you'll see all the fun maffs + you can get more and better jobs than your average CS grad. If you REALLY want to do research, just get into Machine Learning/Optimization unless you end like picrel.

turns out they weren't looking for a phd holder
i don't know why the kid who posted the ad said they were looking for a phd
met with the PI and he said he has to talk to HR about creating a new job ad so hopefully that's not just a polite way of telling me to fuck off

>What was it like and did you escape?
There is only one escape from the torment that is post-PhD life.

>psychology
neuroscience, cognitive science, neural networks, behavioral analysis, research methodology, linguistics, AI, UI/UX design, machine/human factors and interaction, mental illness

The field is saturated with normies doing bad science. You autists could jump in if its so easy and turn it around and become top mind in psychology right?

Nah, get your BS in physics and pretend it makes you smart and useful

>An academic jumped off scaffolding to his death when he was only able to find a job in a call centre after finishing his doctorate, an inquest heard today.

>Dr Philip Elliott, 31, who had recently completed a PhD in physics at Reading University, was seen on the sixth floor of an apartment block in west London just after 11am on January 27 this year.

>Police tried to call him down but he fell from the property in Cromwell Street, Kensington, an hour later, the hearing was told.

Is it necessary to learn calculus rigorously (with proofs) to have a good understanding of physics? Or is learning the basic concepts and some of the computational aspects of calculus enough to take you far in physics?
