To improve overall abilities, you have to understand the subject conceptually. Get a book on the history of math, and learn where ideas/theories come from. Also do a lot of euclidean geometry problem to improve your logical thinking skills. At the same time do as much exercises as you can in...

Blacks have a natural ability of being very creative and original thinkers. However if you can focus hard in your studies, and be patient,... you'll eventually get to a point where you can use your creativity. The original thoughts you come up with will most definitely help you become very...

I know it ran like Academia... but it was the old Academia or the late 1800s/early 1900s--- where profs where doing research out of their own curiosity and not R&D funded by industry/gov, they had tenure, didn't had to worry about funding their labs, and they occasionally taught a class of 20...

Ok so how much more improvement do we need in this field? For the last 4 decades we have many PhDs graduating in communications theory, and we haven't seen a single revolutionary invention that would eclipse the telephone, like what telephone did to the telegraph. Ok, so what new...

No I want to go to school and learn skills that make me productive. Not waste my time with theories/formulas that are presented with no intuitive explanation whatsoever. You seem to have an elitist attitude towards manual work-- thinking it's labor and not the kind of work that engineers...

ZZ when I'm talking about Bell labs, I'm most definitely talking about the old bell labs. Not the one in Lucent. In terms of technological progress... I'm referring to revolutionary progress. NOT evolutionary progress. For example consider the phonograph. Nothing existed that...

the idiotic cultural attitude that you need to have a degree to get a job needs to change maybe with this thread people can get people talking about thisHenry Ford had an 8th grade education, and he's one of the greatest engineer the world has seen in the last 100 years. Carnegie and Edison...

No offense but do you truly believe that the theoretical work you're doing is making any significant improvements to communication receivers? What's wrong with the communication receivers today that requires you do implement more advance algorithms? Do you know the history of the...

I'm not employed at the moment because I want to take some time and teach myself real skills . Skills like system integration, welding, machining, plc/scada, ...etc. Knowledge that is relevant to the real world where you can get a stable job. I had a few internships, and the work I did was BS...

let's be honest about this... In north america, I went through engineering school, at a top university. Only to come out feeling like it was a waste of time. Mainly because they suck at teaching the courses conceptually. It felt like a drive-thru restaurant-- without gaining any useful...
