    Which AP Calculus Exam Should I Take? AB or BC

    The problem is, I'm bored with my math classes at school. So basically said, "The hell with it". I got online, and ordered a book, and found it to be actually pretty easy. If I test out of Calculus AB, I'm planning on going to UNH to take Calculus II (or however they label it). So I'm not...

    Which AP Calculus Exam Should I Take? AB or BC

    I know some algebra and geom... haha How would I be learning calc if I didn't already know that stuff? And what the hell is wrong with trying to learn? I'm motivated. Just because I want to succeed, and I appreciate mathematics doesn't mean I shouldn't work hard in HS! I take it you didn't...

    Which AP Calculus Exam Should I Take? AB or BC

    Remember I'm a junior... Or do you think it would take that long to learn the material? That is, take me until my senior year to learn it.

    I'll have to sit down with my guidance counselors and have a chat with them about it.

    Alright, is there any downside to taking the AB exam at the end of my junior year?

    Which AP Calculus Exam Should I Take? AB or BC

    Alright, well I'm finishing up limits right now in the book, and I've been working on it for roughly a week. So I'm really early. But it's not the first time I've been exposed to it. I started to learn it last year, very briefly... but my foundations weren't solid enough. Now that I'm...

    Which AP Calculus Exam Should I Take? AB or BC

    So I'm studying calculus on my own, independently. I'm a junior in high school, and I'm getting help from my Physics teacher when I need help. I bought this book https://www.amazon.com/dp/0534359493/?tag=pfamazon01-20 and it's great. I've learned a lot from it so far and haven't had any...

    Programs Can Earning a PhD Require More than Just Scoring in the Top 2% of Contests?

    And with the contests, what if people can't work in such a stressful environment? That doesn't mean they aren't going to work hard to get a degree. And getting a degree doesn't necessarily mean you're amazing at something, it just proves that you know what you're doing and you are willing to...

    Programs What to do with a physics degree?

    Yes, briefly though, I am planning to do more research once my midterms are over with. :zzz: I am definitely planning to go to graduate school. I would like to attend MIT or WPI for either undergrad or grad (or maybe both if I can come up with the money). I think I would want to be more...

    Unravelling the Mystery of Orb Photography

    I did a simple experiment awhile back... What I did was take a normal Sony digital camera and a Sony TV remote. I aimed the remote, and took a picture. It took a few tries to get it to look like an orb photograph, but it came out looking great. My uncle had claimed to had taken some...

    What If Saturn Was a Sun? What Would Happen?

    Never mind that... I edited it out, it didn't make too much sense.

    What If Saturn Was a Sun? What Would Happen?

    What would happen if Saturn had become a second Sun in the formation of our universe? Would Earth have ever come to the way it is now? What would happen if it all of a sudden became a sun this very instant? All comments are appreciated!

    Programs What to do with a physics degree?

    I can cook, not that it has any relevance to what I want to do in life, because I will never work at a McDonalds or Burger King... And, NO, I didn't want to be a string theorist. Although it interests me, I see jobs for it except at major universities, maybe. But I have one more question...
