hey, I'm doing some self-studying in university level math but at times I get stuck or I get slow cause something isn't completely clear. Do university professors doing private tutoring?

marcflores, I have to ask you, is what you say about Jesus not coming to abolish the old law a personal interpretation or the actual words of Jesus (I honestly don't know). That would be a major and outright absurd contradiction because the only reason Jesus supposedly came from heaven was...

you point out a very significant loophole in these religions, esp. the koran, which talks about killing people of other religions. Many of these are outdated but the Bible is not, at least the more applicable. The old testament does have extremities (I've read the bible) but after Christ died...

great. could you give me the link to your book? and also, would you recommend michael artin's book on linear and abstract algebra?

hey, I appreciate your views (and I hope all do) as they are probably the closet thing to proving the existence of god. And it is also a very unqiue concept of god (the hindu one as I assume). But the philosophy of science and mathematics and the philosophies of hinudism, buddhism, and other...

mathwonk, I'm currently still a high school student and I've recently finished the two volumes by tom apostol through self-study. I haven't had any significant problems and wonder whether I should continue this by studying ode's, linear/abstract algebra, real analysis, etc, or simply turn to...

dude, go international. its like $26 for a used one. XD

What we must first analyze is not the answer but the question. If we tie this with mathematics and logic, then we have an answer, or at least an answer that conforms to the methodologies of reasoning today. The existence of a higher being cannot be formally proved or disproved (as mentioned...

first of all, I'm kinda not understanding what you're saying. are you supporting me or against me? you say happiness isn't irrelevant (meaning it's relevent) but you have a cynical tone. ah? maybe happiness has a connotation that is too innocent and romantic to be appreciated. I should say...

haha, that's a usa math olympiad question. ah, reminds me of the good old days. looking forward to putnam in college

by the way...I don't understand exactly why you guys consider the female physics professor "hot"...no offense but she doesn't "look" that special. just saying. and drew. the dead honest truth is if you're studying physics because you want to make the greatest contribution or be the...

the fact that people are learning much more nowadays is unquestionable. first of all, the number of people going to college is WAY higher than every before. people aren't just working on farms now--they're at least trying to learn. secondly, high school students are definitely learning more...

ok well here's the deal. I'm stuck between cal tech, mit, or harvey mudd. Forgetting graduate ranks and prestige cause it's nearly irrelevant at the college level, which would be a better choice? Thanks

hey everyone, I'm currently applying for college right now and I need some guidance as to which schools are stronger than others in terms of education, research opportunities, etc. Can someone give me some kinda ranking for college physics programs? thanks

hey guys, I was just wondering what courses in applied mathematics are needed for physics. Thanks
