>taking Calculus I over the summer

Everyone is telling me I'm crazy for taking it over the summer because of how fast it will go. I'm thinking I will be able to perform better because 100% of my focus will be on one subject vs spread among 4 subjects.

I'm a biochemistry undergrad, not a psychology student, but I was randomly wondering what the purpose of sleep was...or rather, the reason we fall asleep. Is it because there are energy intensive biochemical processes occurring that could not be done during our time awake?

Does anyone have any research documented on this topic I can find/look up?

>tfw biochemistry + computer science double major
>tfw college offers a 1 year accelerated masters program for biomedical engineering or materials science
>tfw don't know which one to do, probably material science

What would be a good Ph.D?

My goal in life is immortality.

What books would you guys recommend for intro to proofs?

>5/2 = five halves

But what exactly is wrong with this, seems fine to me. It is five halves of a whole just like 5/3 is five thirds of a whole. Was your math teacher autistic?

Yes; this is why electrons have lower energy levels as they get closer to the nucleus. Once the photons excape from the inside of the electrons, the electron loses mass, and therefrom momentum. Since it loses momentum, it also loses kinetic engergy, resulting in the n=1 energy level being the lowest. glad i could help
