/sci/ - Science & Math

What new and interesting things has /sci/ been researching?

What's a good book that covers all the math needed to understand basic, general physics?

If there is no one-stop solution, which math book will cover as much as possible of what is needed to understand physics? It would be great if the book also had actual proofs instead of retarded meme arguments or just formulas without any motivation or explanation.

Over 500 years of science hasn't convinced the public into believing in the scientific method nor acknowledging the relevance of data acquired through observations and experiments rather then faith.

Whats the point of acquiring new knowledge through science if most of humankind does have the tools to appreciate it at its full potential?
