    Programs Are minor math mistakes a major problem for engineering students?

    If I'm making minor errors on my math tests, is it wise to continue majoring in engineering? With these small mistakes?

    Dealing With "Nightmare" Professors

    That's true, you've got professors who would rush through the subjects, shove a lot of materials down and finish assigned homework in a short period of time. And you got professors who hate you for some reason and won't make eye contact with you. How are you suppose to learn the material if the...

    How did you get into Astronomy/Astrophysics?

    So what? So we can use that technology to our advantage. And that discovery might lead to unforeseen discoveries and then lead to even more discoveries. Im giving examples of the past, of how our very own minds can inhibit ourselves, inhibit us from moving foward due to ignorance and fear, and...

    How did you get into Astronomy/Astrophysics?

    But you also have to consider that there are a billion stars in our galaxy, the Milky Way alone. And there are also many other galaxies that are 200 billion light years apart from each other which also contain many many stars. As we observe our own solar system, our nine planets completely vary...

    How did you get into Astronomy/Astrophysics?

    Yes very interesting indeed and you should take interest. Astronomy is interesting due to what the what ifs. Such as what if astronomers find intelligent life in the vastness of space? If that were to happen, our whole perception would greatly change, from the way we see life, to how we...

    How did you get into Astronomy/Astrophysics?

    I don't know. Maybe the Creator was just there in the beginning and before the beginning.. Somethings that we can't measure but our intuition knows that it's there. Such as seeing black holes (is due after a collapse of a fallen star) through the use of technology, but what are the substance...

    How did you get into Astronomy/Astrophysics?

    And when you study the stars and the galaxies, your personal problems and the world problems becomes 0.000000000001% compared to the universe. Say when your on planets in our closest star system, Alpha Centauri (which is 20 lightyrs away) you forget about Earth... Dont know if this mkes sense...

    How did you get into Astronomy/Astrophysics?

    Interesting, I can see your passion. I see it as a way of discovering, as in discovering life and new phenomenons. What makes us so important when our sun is only 1 out of the billion of other stars in our galaxy. Some of those stars can have planets like our own. It would be remarkable if...

    Programs Should I Pursue a Math Degree or Join the Military?

    You sound just like me. Air force pt is easier compared to the other 3 branches. I have family in the service. Like what Highway said, you can get a degree first then join a branch and be an officer. I thought about joining the Air Force but I'm going to have to wait it out due to the fact I...

    55 yr old man, homeless. Has degree in electrical engineer and physics

    bpatrick I'm sorry to hear your loss, I hope all is well with you and I hope you'll do great in the future. No jobs are secure and your right about how one has it going for them and all of a sudden they're in the streets. In my belief I still strongly believe one must still go to college to...
