    Studying Self-Studying Higher Level Math, Physics & Chemistry: Resources & Textbooks

    In my opinion, you can't beat the college courses where you have instructor feedback and classroom discussion. I suppose your best bet in learning the material on your own would be to go to a college library. They have a wealth of information and books there.

    I started class yesterday! I had a Computer Security class and Computer Information Systems... I think I like the latter much more. Anyway, I have a math, english, and reading placement test tomorrow. Wish me luck, all, and thanks for all the help and advice!

    What's Your Car's Gas Milage? Poll

    When I had my Kawasaki EX500, I got about 57-60mpg. On my Suzuki SV650S I get about 44. On the Kawasaki ZX6R 636, I'd get about 36-38 mpg.

    Buying a Used Car: My Experience and Questions

    Haha, thanks for all the input. I failed to mention that I probably wouldn't want an SUV or truck for gas reasons. I'm enjoying getting 45-55 mpg out of my bikes. At any rate, I do take care of and maintain my vehicles very meticulously. I do the majority of the bike work myself including...

    Buying a Used Car: My Experience and Questions

    I'm looking into getting a car here pretty soon. I've been riding motorcycles for years, rain or shine, and I do miss the comforts of a car. I haven't driven a car since February of '05. I don't know anything about buying a used car. I definitely don't want to buy a new car, and if I can...

    Schools Late Start to College: Pursuing Career in Electronics Engineering

    My girlfriend is practically a mathematical genius... a member of all the math clubs in high school and is currently blowing away her peers in college. The problem is, there is a terribly huge issue of pride getting in the way of my asking her for help. Anyway, I think it's better off that I do...

    Schools Late Start to College: Pursuing Career in Electronics Engineering

    I'm looking forward to taking advantage of this forum for the help that I may need. Of course, there is tutoring available at the school, I hear. It's free, but we have to sign up and wait so I'm not sure I'll have that kind of time. However, nothing beats free, that's for sure! Thanks for...

    I'm gonna make $100,000 for doing nothing

    I'm also getting $100,000... but it's not for "nothing." I literally had blood, sweat, and tears (not to mention a lot of broken bones) for this one. Anyway, congrats. :)

    Schools Late Start to College: Pursuing Career in Electronics Engineering

    Thanks for the advice and inspiration. I made an appointment to take the placement exam in two weeks and I'm rummaging through my old high school math textbooks. I hope that will help refresh my memory enough to do well. I suppose the next step is to meet with an educational counselor and lay...

    Schools Late Start to College: Pursuing Career in Electronics Engineering

    After the loss of a child, I recently became divorced. I'm thinking of going to college and pursuing a new career. I'd like to be an electronics engineer and I've decided to get a 4-year degree for this. I don't have the resources that most teens do in their parents, so I'll be attending a...
