Where do I begin with teaching myself math and science? And how do I make sure that I actually make progress? Since I'll be working alone.Tips on becoming the modern renaissance man plz

>>9354633Wrong. You can be better than average (freshman level) with just hard work. If you have some talent as well though, you can be one of the best.
>>9356056>shits a retarded russian memeWhat do you mean?
>>9354682If you're motivated you can get up to first year undergrad level very quickly, most students don't like maths so a driven adult student can easily learn the very basic basics in a few months (starting all the way from addition and that) without much actual ability, just focus.
Bill Nye Saves The World Season 2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYZLxj1cyf0Do you think more effort and consideration has been put into this season? Will you be watching? Should people give it a fair chance considering they may have learnt from last seasons mistakes?>Discuss
>>9354929I actually think he's just senile as fuck and behind in academia. When he was in his prime as a student and working at NASA, he probably DID learn and know a lot of shit.Nuclear Energy for example. In the 70's and 80's, advancement and study into MSRF and Thorium reactors were completely ignored by everyone because uranium reactors were the main focus. But those uranium ones did/do produce a lot of waste that were/are very difficult to handle.We're only now catching up on advancing and studying those reactor types, which is because of how insanely good they are at producing waste that can be recycled and/or broken down into non-harmful constituents. Bill rants about Nuclear Energy using the same arguments as back in the 70's. He's stuck in the past. He needs to leave those topics alone and focus on making science cool/interesting for kids again, not shill his worthless opinions to adults
I'd rather just watch old Bill Nye. It's still great even if you're not a kid. Unfortunately Bill Nye went down a bad path in my opinion. He's more interested in politics now than he is in science.

Why does Canada seem to have a different grading system than the US? why is 80% is considered an A?
>>935607193% for 4.0 in the US compared to 85% in canada
On the east coast of Canada the gpa scale runs up to 4.3 at most schools, which is around 92% in most of my classes
>>9356071>Why does Canada seem to have a different grading system than the US?Literally every country has different grading systems.
>>9356177US uses a 10 point or 7 point system. So an A here is either a 90 or 93. Below that it's a B+.
Seems like Canada does this not to hurt the little baby feelings.
Suppose you find yourself in 120 BC, naked, and with a motherboard in your hands.What are your options?
>>9354560You don't speak their language so how would you do that, lad?
Your best shot is showing the motherboard to some cavemen and make them believe you are some kind of god.
Eat it. There really isn't anything else to do with it considering you don't have a processor, memory, or a power supply. I suppose you could scrap it for parts, but that might be difficult considering you don't have a soldering iron. All a motherboard does is bus data and supply power to parts, as well as preform POST and BIOS/EFI services. You still need an actual computer with it.
>>9354585All you need is a few lemons, some copper and some zinc. Idk how viable any of those are in 120BC but hey

Why does no one seem to give a rat's ass about the side effects of birth control?
>>9354904You don't get it. They're meeting their partners while on the pill, and staying with them while they interrupt their usage in order to get pregnant as well. It's not like a woman who is on contraceptives will be on contraceptives her whole life.
>>9348866Please make sure to have lots of children after you're married. We need more people like you in this hellish existence.
>>9348847Is it because you are so riddled with insecurities that you need a subservient woman who has no experience sexually/socially, so she has nobody to compare you to and thus can't expose you for the beta that you are?

Since science presupposes that a sequence of events in the future will occur as an identical series always has in the past (and there is really no way to know that, since appeals to past observations would be circular), there is no rational justification for the scientific method.
>>9355734>the scientific methodNo such thing.
>>9355734>>9355738>Two retards discuss science...
>>9355751>>Two retards discuss science...Who are you quoting?
>>9355734I've seen this picture somewhere. Maybe in a TV show. Refresh my memory, please?
>>9355734no it doesn't, and there is no such thing as the scientific method. It's just a fundamental guideline.
Should compsci (undergrad) be integrated into (applied) math curriculum?I feel like my uni puts way too much emphasis on programming, which is a skill in itself, but too little on math/theory. We don't even have distinct math classes while other unis do. Things like linalg, real analysis, calculus, etc., are only presented in condensed form and integrated into courses like graphics, 3d modelling, (advanced) algorithms, etc.Do note that some unis, not necessarily technical ones, do provide these distinct math courses (maybe shared with math department?).The issue I run into is that the curriculum is good for regular software engineers who want to go into industry. However, if I want to do proper research in compsci, I'm gonna have to go against mathfags who have way more rigour in math and therefore theoretical CS. I'm going against the hill here and being better in programming will not last forever.What do you think of this awkward split between programming and theory? I'm thinking of making CS more math heavy, or even fusing it with math, and then making a seperate degree like software engineering where it's more about programming and some softer skills oriented around business theory.
>>9353951No, CS shouldn't be an undergrad program at all. It is just an umbrella term for a lot of research fields and it is stupid to have the same undergrad for people going into ML/Computer Vision, Robotics/Control Systems, Theoretical Computer Science/Formal Methods/Programming Languages and Software Engineering. I don't see why somebody in FM needs to have any background in Physics I-III like this autist >>9353955 suggests. I loathed my Calc 3 course and do type theory now and have colleagues in Computer Vision who failed the Intro to Automata theory course twice. We all would have benefited from a more in-depth course in our core discipline instead of having stupid courses which has to consider everyone. Some universities do it right: A Software Engineering program for people who want to learn programming + management + economicsA Computational Engineering program for people who want robotics/computer vision and all that applied stuffA Computer Science program in the maths department which is basically a maths undergrad with a focus on logic and discrete mathsThe programs have a common first year and then you must choose
>>9356283>needs to have any background in Physics I-IIIThe vast majority of CS majors have no problem solving skills whatsoever.
>>9356222It's standard for engineers and they do more if they double major or minor.
>>9355596>just go to a uni without gen edsEvery european uni.
>None of you children remember when CS degrees didn't exist and the only applicable degree to the field was Math.>Nobody even mentions the BA in CS that can be had in some places todayLet's face it, most computer sciencing done today doesn't need more than a quick reference sheet to the various math library function. CS people don't need to know why it works, just that it does.And then if they want to do things like optimization or simulation they can minor in the appropriate field.
any good math sources for a brainlet? like for algebra and trig and introductory calculus... just all the basic shit. i was thinking about going through professor leonard's new series (TTP). If that doesn't work I don't know what would. Am i just fucking doomed if i don't understand Ron Larson's books. also tips for retaining knowledge i learn in the summer for when i take my classes? should i just do worksheets? and does anyone have a good source for those. sorry for being such a retard.

>>9355026Even if it was every 5 days, you'd have more than a million dollars within half a year. But good luck fucking buying anything with that or carrying it to deposit into a bank. You'd have to sleeve all of them for the bank to accept it and even then it'd keep reproducing inside the sleeve. It's more money but way too impractical.
>>9354981penny exponential growthwould be fun until the market broke because of le magic penny inflation
Bitcoins.It is impossible to spend your magical penny without causing massive inflation which would require the fed to create new currency. Value of bitcoins > 0^n value from magical pennies.

What do men look for in a woman?
>>9356279
She must be pretty, not a beautiful goddess but just... pretty. She must be a brainlet who gets impressed at my math skills and must be a housewife like old daysThat's it
>>9356279Don't be fat and have all your teeth.
>>9356347OP asked for 'men', not man (singular).Also OP said 'in a woman' meaning that he is asking for a collective group to somehow provide a standard baseline that all would accept.I suspect OP is a trap, trying to form itself as some sort of sentient super-creature by utilizing the female form in order to absorb and control the male population (Read: Intellectually Superior) via some 'master female template'.Oh ho ho! Not Today Reptilian Scum!
>>9356279I like it when they browse the /sci/ board of boards.4chan.org. Otherwise, I am not interested.
why is everyone who studies mathematics such a loser?all the humble people study art and are fun people to be around but all the math nerds are unkempt, have superiority complexes, stutter and are highly introverted.
>>9356323>why do I, a brainlet, get along better with other brainlets?
>>9356334nah man artists are far more intelligent than mathematicians.math is derived from previous knowledge, art is not.
>>9356323All the arts majors I know want to kill themselves after working in call centers for a few years.
