/sci/ - Science & Math

Well goodbye then. OP out.

Point taken then. I usually pretend to be Satan on most boards. It's a hobby of mine. /x/ however seems to take me seriously when I use this trip. I actually left it up accidentally in this case.

Actually the main difference is people who believe these sorts of things get laughed at over in the more academically aligned regions of the world. They still believe what they do however and you can find North American websites that tell you of the fairy people for fuck sake.

This is related to science and it was not presented in a racist manner. What the fuck is your problem faggot?

>>8411497
People tend to side with people that have at least similar beliefs. Imagine if everyone who was religious sided against science? That could be the future we are looking at.

Apparently some people are against modern science because they believe in witch doctors or something. I'm now hoping the space race takes me far away from these Neanderthals in the future.

Favorite Quote Of The Year :
"We believe you can send lightning to your enemies"

if you haven't already discovered khanacademy, then you really don't want to "into chemistry."

faggot.

No, but for real. All those specialized semi-conducters and compounds are rad, but you need lose women and stupid workers to build your empire on. Cheap and effective

take e of both sides.

general chemistry 1 generally includes next to no math. a simple algebra course will help you with this--of course--however, just watching some khan academy videos would probably be just as, if not more, useful.

electrostatic discharge. you have a buildup of charge on your person, it collects on sharp points (ie your fingertips), and equalizes itself however available. regardless, if this is new to you, then something has changed recently. usually it is your clothing building this charge (think balloon rubbing on hair). as in, you got a new hoodie that creates static on your person very well.

if it is truly harmless, then just keep living your life. or be naked all the time. your choice.

what does this mean?

as a general rule, pain medications can be taken with a lot of things, except more pain medications.

an even more general rule would be to call up a cvs or walgreens (it doesn't have to be one next door or even in your same state), ask for the pharmacist and tell him you're prescribed abilify and oxycontin. ask him why you're not getting a good /nod/. also try not to sound 13 like you did in this post.

this. you should be able to recognize this a geometric series. you should also be able to recognize this is an alternating series. watch patrickjmt videos to get good at both of these.

good luck in calc 2.

if you're really gonna read it, you can easily find it online in a pdf somewhere. i have a copy but i don't remember where i got it. also the solution manual is easily found.

if you're legitimately gonna flip through it, i'll give you some info. the first 2 chapters are basically what freshmen learn (in all eng fields). unit conversion, standard deviation, general terms, symbols, etc. chapter 3 is where the actual chemical engineering side comes in.

in short, flip through the first two and work some example problems. if you get bored, then skip to 3, that's where it gets more interesting.

enjoy it.

there are different intro textbooks for every field... pick your favorite engineering school and look up the textbooks their sophomores use.

since i'm a cheme i'll link you the most popular sophomore level book. this is what i had in the general class called "intro to chemical engineering,"sophomore year. absolutely amazing book.

prepare to hate your life, OP. i questioned my motives constantly throughout undergrad and contemplated switching majors but i would have been at school at least another year. decided to power through and just graduate for the money. at 25, having a premature midlife crisis because i don't fully understand how what i'm doing in my job contributes to society in any way, shape, or form other than lining my company's pockets with my stress and almost OCD-like work ethic. i'm considering quitting and teaching high school. at least then i will have some value to my work.

but i make nearly $3000 every paycheck plus yearly raises so if that's all you care about then go for it.

you need to realize that having a good relationship with your professor can really help you out. talk to him; say you had a lot of trouble, and you know it. just admit you're worried.

if you're doing arc length, how did you wind up with this integral? give us the original problem because i'm assuming you did something wrong.

if not, then probably distribute that squared term out, then divide all of them by <span class="math">x^6[/spoiler]. it's still going to be ugly though.

what do you mean by "gravity"? gravitational acceleration or the actual weight of the fluid? both are accounted for in pascal's law, but i think you're confusing a pressure and a force.

>Would usual static pressure and the externally applied pressure combine?

i don't think you even know what pascal's principle was all about. look into how hydraulics work. as in, when you go to the mechanic, how do they raise a heavy car? they use this principle:

>pressure is uniformly distributed throughout the fluid

note: pressure, not force.

wow you are the worst type of person, op

<span class="math">d\mathrm{P} = \mathrm{g} \int \rho d\mathrm{Z}[/spoiler]

air is a compressible fluid and thus density is not constant. assume it's an ideal gas and substitute it for ideal gas law. i think you can figure it out from here.

i appreciate that you are condoning a major/career field which is a rarity these days. the only problem is that there is a reason it is a rarity. the sour truth to any pure science degree is that you are taking a gamble. upon graduation, what skills do you possess which are marketable to employees? i understand (and appreciate) that you understand magnetism and relativity, but your knowledge is not aimed at profitability -- it is aimed at knowledge for knowledge's sake.

the sad reality is that with a degree in physics you are almost inevitably doomed to teaching or a job that pays less than teaching. good luck with that.

p.s. the sheer conjecture that physics degrees get engineering jobs over engineers is absolutely hysterical. you should give stand up comedy a shot.

hey op, you are in a position i once was. i went back to school at 20 and started at the bottom of the totem pole (as in, math 101 at the local technical college). i had no clue what i was doing back then; i just knew i had to go to school to get a good job. i am incredibly thankful i did that and you will be too one day.

as far as online resources go, khanacademy made me love and appreciate math whereas patrickjmt showed me how to compute. youtube in general is the greatest resource for knowledge you have ever encountered. use it to your advantage because most people don't. here's a plug for our sticky--it has a ton of interesting information and educational resources. check it out.

it's interesting you're already informed about programming. programming will make learning math much easier and it will make more intuitive sense. it's a helpful leg-up that you will have against your peers in the years to come.

there really is no advice that i nor /sci/ can give you that will allow you to be a more successful student. you appear to already have the initiative to get shit done, so just run with it.

good luck in your endeavors. and don't rush things. you'll get there eventually.

it's christmas break. i am studying nothing. i am, however, expanding my musical horizons, working out consistently, and trying to figure out why i dislike christmas so much.
