Is it true that there are equations that if solved are rewarded with cash by the Government?

If so post them below and let's give it a whirl

Did you enter college expecting to be "brilliant"?

Was it a humbling experience in that regard?

Sorry I'm just a bit busy balancing the homeomorphisms in these Lagrange trees.

With the rise in uni fees i'm considering going into the route of teaching myself my desired subjects. Anyone know of any good strategys so I won't get bored while studying a certain subject?
I can use the Internet as a resource to find whatever materials and books I need, and I could always buy them second hand from Amazon or go to a second hand bookshop next time i'm in town.

I'd imagine studying 5-6 hours a day would be good to improve in whatever subject you're wanting to obtain absoloute knowledge in?

Anyone got any links to pdfs of Pre-calculus books?

I need to be able to take "INTEGRATED CALCULUS AND ANALYTIC GEOMETRY I" right when I start college so my Physics degree isn't all mashed up.
