/sci/ - Science & Math

Just some questions about math courses.
- I'm currently taking bc calc and stats next year. Would it be beneficial (in terms of education and time) to take a calc 2 course at the local college?
- I also have to present "something mathematically interesting" to my bc calc class. Everyone else is using fairly basic material, like Fermat's last or mobius strips. Anything interesting that could also be a challenge/new material?

Why do physicists always use comic sans font?

My newtonian mechanics, electricity/magnetism, statics, modern physics, dynamics, thermo, and aerodynamics professors all used comic sans in their power points. The only exception so far was my fluid dynamics professor. Why do they all do this?

Pic unrelated.

How do I work out what happens to a region on an Argand diagram after a transformation? I have already worked out the effect of the transformation on a set of points.

Yes.

5 billion years of evolutionary success and we don't even fucking act like it.

Okay I will make a list.

1. I heard a famous scientist say that all children are born natural scientists. wtf no they arent.

2. This tendency to think of something that makes sense, and then think therefore its true. Lots of things make sense, and almost all of them are wrong. Heck, sometimes the truth makes no sense.

3. The idea that the world will be a better place if we simply get more efficient, or if technology becomes more advanced. Efficiency alone doesnt do anything.

4. Scientists becoming dogmatic and arrogant
