/sci/ - Science & Math

Is it possible to learn calculus in 10 days? Not ALL of calculus or super advanced stuff, but enough to pass the calculus CLEP. Right now I'm working on Khan Academy (I've finished 2 units) and I'm looking into some MIT open courseware stuff.

Here's the thing, my senior year of hs starts in 10 days (turned 18 this summer dont worry), I'm marked down to take precal but I don't want to. I want to take the calculus CLEP and hopefully with that I can pass it as credit by exam.

I'm afraid I'm wasting my time with Khan academy but the CLEP website has it listed as good online study material.

Preparing for the calculus CLEP in 10 days. Is it do-able?

I have been losing sleep over this and haven't been able to get a definitive answer.
Pragmatically speaking, what is the best female body: thin or thicc (not "thicc" as in fat, but slightly chubby)?
I've asked this before on /fit/ and while the majority was for thicc, I'm starting to think it's just a meme.
Obviously a slim, fit woman will have better cardiovascular fitness and probably be stronger. She will very likely live a long, healthy life.
Supposedly, however, a woman with a higher bodyfat% has a better means of storing essential nutrients (fatty acids, etc.) for developing children. This would mean healthier newborns, high-quality breastmilk, etc.

Is thicc really better or is it a meme? Serious answers only.

The sad part is, we dont need robo wifes for this to happen. They exist in the real world. But are so fucking rare after the (((sexual revolution))). Fuck kikes and fuck you.

What happens if you're a civil engineer and you build a bridge and it breaks and people die.

>Last month, deep in a 500-page environmental impact statement, the Trump administration made a startling assumption: On its current course, the planet will warm a disastrous 7 degrees by the end of this century.
>A rise of 7 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 4 degrees Celsius, compared with preindustrial levels would be catastrophic, according to scientists. Many coral reefs would dissolve in increasingly acidic oceans. Parts of Manhattan and Miami would be underwater without costly coastal defenses. Extreme heat waves would routinely smother large parts of the globe.
>But the administration did not offer this dire forecast, premised on the idea that the world will fail to cut its greenhouse gas emissions, as part of an argument to combat climate change. Just the opposite: The analysis assumes the planet’s fate is already sealed.


Reminder: we're all fucking doomed

Yep. Texas here, graduated b.s.m.e. with a decent academic record. All entry level jobs require 5 years of experience and stuff like underwater welding skills. Fuck this. I'm going to code camps.

That's what we are - mathematicians, engineers and scientists (autist shitposters fuck off) - just a bunch of worker bees who's only purpose in this world is to make better machines. Nothing else.

There are people who make the world turn, powerful people who could right now be holding the power of artificial intelligence which would make all of us obsolete, or could be not. But the fact is that they rule the world and they decide what gets build and what doesn't - they give us the scholarships, the salaries, the pensions - and yet we are just tools for them, blissfully happy in our search for knowledge, feeling as if we were somehow above all those shenanigans.

When it is, in the end, us who are in the lowest.

Have you made peace with your destiny yet, /sci/?

Why couldn't I be born a 150+IQ like you guys

>The highest form of Math I took in high school was Precalculus
Should I just give up all hope in my consideration of getting a degree in some STEM field?
