/sci/ - Science & Math

Has anyone here completed the Actuary exams? How hard are they and what material is covered?

I am considering the field as an option for income.

No because it's based on feelings.

This is true and it makes me sad...

One of the main reasons I'm still debating if I want to go to college or not... I've learned so much more and so much better whilst studying by myself... my last 3 years of school didnt teach me shit because I became passionate with what I was studying and therefore was 50 steps ahead of everyone...

Why is the school system aimed at retards nowadays?

>kids made fun of me for drawing, reading, and for finishing homework assignments all through school
>shit high school GPA because not strong enough to keep on through the bullying
>still did well in college but had to borrow money to pay for it
>tfw

i hope your daughter is braver than I was (or that she plays sports/is pretty enough to not get shit all the time)

feel, you say

>you won't know what grade you got until they are posted
>you check every day for 2 weeks
>still not there

>tfw you suck at factoring polynomials.

I feel like a moron.

define "feelings"

I posted this on advice but it got buried under a mountain of faggotry:

I'm going to be moveing into an area with a highgrade university(the one where I live is quite suboptimal).

I was a math major and it's the only subject I have liked so far(I have done abstract algebra and real/complex analysis), but I also have an interest in either mechanical or electrical engineering. The engineering classes at the university next to where I live were very bad and I disliked them but I am not sure if that's simply a problem with the shit-tier department they were taught in or the courses themselves(I have an obssesion with logical development of theory).

Now the university I am likely to be moveing to requires twice the general education courses in the mathematics program when compared to either mechanical or electrical engineering.

I'm not sure what to do. I could see myself getting a PhD in applied mathematics but I don't know of the job prospects and I want to be able to make stuff.

On the otherhand I don't want to do either EE or ME if the theory is ignored and I don't get to also take the graduate math classes I have an interest in.

I could try either EE or ME and then take essentially the undergraduate math classes required for a masters in mathematics along with them, delaying my graduation by a couple years but fullfilling my interest. Also my interest in EE may only be basic electronics - so years sequence in that may fullfill my interest in EE but I don't know.

As a job I want to maybe make weapons, robotic stuff or something similarly interesting.

If only I could do it all.

>you will never be a professional philosopher

How does one even become a "philosopher" these days? Write crazy papers and shit? Be a well-acclaimed professor of philosophy?

All I want in life is a little bit of love to take the pain away...

>tfw cannot donate directly to NASA

If NASA received donations they'd be getting a ton more than their measly $1 billions a year.

What do, /sci/? Maybe I can still become a biologist.

>tfw no singularity

>tfw we as a the human race have reached the point where scientists and great minds are no longer needed and being killed for the gain of companies so that a small group of people can make money
>tfw there will never be any wireless energy

>tfw you're gonna have to pull an all nighter to probably fail anyway

>tfw you have a masters degree in biology
>tfw you want to be a scientist
>tfw you have to get a doctorate to do anything science
>tfw you realize that perhaps being a biologist was a bad career choice
>how do i career /sci/?

>tfw not a child prodigy
>tfw not jewish
>tfw i will never make significant contributions to science or math

That's fine but would it be possible for someone to humor me and explain exactly what the principles are?

Because these terms like "horizons" and whatnot are just... even if I read the articles, it's kind of hard to conceptualize what theses things are for me still.

I read the words in the articles that describe this shit like horizons and whatnot, and understand what they technically imply but the picture just doesn't come together.
