>The object in the shade is not reflecting light. Which means it's not reflecting heat. Which means it's insulated from heat loss. The increased insulation helps it to retain the heat it captures from the ground so the temperature goes up.

is there a name for this phenomenon or any papers about it?

I've come to appreciate recently that while I'm not a complete smoothbrain with math, when it comes to stuff around calculus, differential equations, limits, etc. I feel I'm simply using techniques I was shown as tools to solve a problem rather than having a solid understanding at a fundamental level. This being most obvious when I find novel problems that need approached from the level of fundamental principles rather than applying the template that works for more basic/neatly arranged problems. While I can kind of manage to pull through with this now, I suspect it may become a problem in further study (and even if it doesn't I'd rather not be a monkey banging hammer together).

To this end, are there any particular resources - be they web based or good textbooks - that people would recommend? I basically want to go back to square one with calculus (and maybe even trig and algebra, i'm sure there'll be stuff i've never come across back there as well) and build back upwards with a more solid understanding?

i like this one personally... it always gets me

Wow your getting in fractal theorem now show down Einstein

I'm tired of CS and the department at my school is garbage. I've always enjoyed mathematics with the caveat that I haven't done much proofs. From what I understand that's what most higher-level math is?

With a B.S. in mathematics could you do something else in graduate school?
How difficult is majoring in math anyway?

Eurofag here, is it possible to get a PhD in mathematics after graduating Theoretical Physics? What would be some prerequisites? As time goes on, I'm slowly realizing I'm not a big fan of physicists' way of problem solving today and I dislike most of the proposed ideas/solutions for some physical problems whereas I absolutely enjoy everything related to Abstract Algebra, Topology, Geometry etc.

Wat do?
