    Programs Don't know what I want to do having a major life crisis

    If you've been having these problems for that long, and if they have been so seriously affecting your life, then I strongly suggest that you consider seeing a therapist. No amount of reasonable advice, though useful, is a substitute for professional help. Your problem is your state of mind...

    Axiom of Choice: finite sets to infinite sets

    I am so glad I found this thread- the same question has been bothering me as well. Could someone please tell me what's wrong with this "derivation" of Axiom of choice?:confused: Let {Xi} be a non-empty family of non-empty sets. Since for all i, Xi is non-empty, for all i, there exist xi such...

    Comparing Student Ability Across Schools

    MIT had ~16,000 applicants last year. http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/admissions_statistics/index.shtml In comparison, more than 400,000 students take the JEE every year. I can't even imagine how any institute can read 400,000 CV's, recommendation letters etc.. and decide who is...

    What career/major is best for an intuitive thinker?

    Good Lord no they don't. This only shows your own ignorance and inexperience- nothing wrong with that. But jumping to conclusions about the nature of reality (whatever that means) with no knowledge is foolish. I'll say it again- if you insist that the real world should conform to your "gut...

    What career/major is best for an intuitive thinker?

    I think its time for you to confront your guts :-p I mean you should start asking why everything in the world should be reduced to +-*/(which isn't true btw). Could it be that you feel so because you have become so familiar with them, and their is nothing more to it than that? This.

    Calculus Help: Solving xy + x - 2y - 1 = 0 with Schaum's Calculus 5th Edition

    They're both the same thing. You've got y=(1-x)/(x-2) So, y+1=(1-x)/(x-2)+1=(1-x+x-2)/(x-2)=1/(2-x) So (y+1)/(2-x)=1/(2-x).^2

    Should calculus be taught in high school?

    Well Calculus was a compulsary part of your Math courses in the last two years of my high school. I think most people found it easy and had more problems with co-ordinate geometry where a lot of algebraic manipulaion was involved.

    Is an MSc in Physics after BTech a better option for research career in India?

    Yeah, a BTech in India will make you eligible for MSc programmes; I have checked it up with Indian Institute of Science which is the best place in India for research. IISER is not an accredited university yet, but it will soon be coz the Govt is really determined to improve Science ducation...
