Nothing is stopping you from not posting in this thread. Stop trying to derail.

Why can't we just assume results of experiments that we can't actually do/are really hard and follow it logically to an easier experiment/problem? Then prove 2 things at once, basically.
Math example: assume P=NP, then try to solve an NP-Complete problem.
Physics example: assume a certain elementary particle exists, then try and use said particle to generate momentum or something.
Wouldn't science progress faster this way instead of being in a quagmire for decades at a time?

Wtf is the point of this degree? Am I studying math or esoteric occult runic shit? Not that I mind because I like learning it, but what sort of path am I going down here? Enlightenment or schizophrenia?

Guys I have a Calc II midterm in 45 minutes, and I don’t even know how to integrate by parts. I’m freaking the fuck out. What should I do?

Suppose you have a coin that has a 53% chance to land heads.

What're the odds you get 31 or more heads if you flip the coin 61 times?

Thanks

Why is this? Why do CS majors hate theory? Note that anything past 2nd year data structures and algorithms is optional for CS students.
