Really try your best to nail the algebra. I think that's what will pay off in the long run. Try to take the toughest math teachers that are still fair. There may be some that will give you easy grades. Don't take those ones. I took the toughest math teacher at community college and worked really...

I'm pretty sure you'de need a gender first before having the desire for "slave girls". You would also have to be kind of insecure in your masculinity :smile: Anyway, on the topic... Of course these questions are too much "all or nothing." The answers must be either true or false, but the...

Therefore we are really looking into the very recent past when we are looking at another person or our...

I would think that the best way to define perfection would be in relation to universal standards. A perfect score would be a 100%. However, if you received 102% for extra credit, it would still be perfection based on the universal standards of getting all the answers correct that can affect you...

The argument linked above has the pattern: Either A or B. If A, then C If B, then C Therefore, C. This is valid structure. This may be a valid argument, but not a sound argument. The best way to argue an idle argument is to argue the truth of the premises. The premise could be based on...

Thank you Thank you. Your reply answered my question. I am also in the Northwest (Oregon). It is my plan to do a double major in physics and philosophy. Now I am concerned about the physics part. Even though I finished with an a+ grade overall, my last calculus class had mathematical modeling...

Hello, I have had conceptual physics courses with very little math involved and I have had math through my first term of calculus. So far I really like them both. However, I am unsure about what to expect when physics is combined with calculus. Is it mostly problem solving or are there...
