Yes, this will no doubt be a lifelong pursuit, but part of the attraction to me is to be able to see connections between various branches of math and to be able to see symmetries is seemingly unrelated fields. I get really inspired when I read about equations like euler's identity which...

This is great yes thank you. It is hard to find a direction in the sequence of mathematical learning topics after calculus. This will help me strategize my learning process.

I am trying to visualize the correct learning curve for mathematics. Currently I know a Calculus 1 and 2 and basic linear algebra. But as far as post-secondary math courses go, that is all I have taken. I want to advance my knowledge of mathematics to the point where I can look at math...

FIRST CARBON NANOTUBE COMPUTER MADE BY STANFORD RESEARCHERS TIME TO CELEBRATE!http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57604663-1/first-carbon-nanotube-computer-to-help-extend-moores-law/

because if I go any faster I'll get a speeding ticket...

Moore's Law will not continue indefinitely because the silicon-based processing units can only go so small. If computing plateaus at the point where the next computer is equally as fast as the last one, what would drive consumer demand? Why would you buy a new computer that is just as fast as...

I am a student at the University of Waterloo, and thinking of transferring into chemical engineering. I am very interested in the emerging field of BCI technology (Brain-Computer Interfaces) and would hope that a degree in chemical engineering would eventually get me a job working on a project...

What if I wanted to have my brain transported into the body of a 6'2'' athlete with a rippling 6-pack and a handsome face?

This is not a joke. Is it by all accounts impossible to do this, supposing that an artificial heart with artificial blood transport systems (that provide oxygen and all needed nutrients) were used to keep the cells from dying. Also, assuming the brain was yours, what would it feel like to...

Thanks for the input guys, I have much to learn and want to spend my 20s learning as much as I can about the human body/mind, electromagnetism, software, computer science, mathematics, and social sciences. Total of about 3400 days until I turn age 30. I must use these days as productively as...

My main question is: what areas of scientific/mathematical knowledge should I invest my time into most?

I just withdrew from my civil engineering program at my school and am using this time off to select a career path more suited to my personal interests. I have finished 1 year of university civil engineering, I am twenty (20) years old. Here's what I know: Differential and Integrable...

Homework Statement Integrate the following using substitution techniques ∫e3tcsc(e3t)cot(e3t) dt Homework Equations csc(t) = 1/sin(t) cot(t) = 1/tan(t) cot(t) = cos(t)/sin(t) 1 + cot2(t) = csc2(t) The Attempt at a Solution ∫e3tcsc(e3t)cot(e3t) dt set u = cot(e3t)...

I'm not a civil engineer yet, I'm an undergrad student. Attitude? I was simply expressing my confusion over this newly (I can't stress the word newly enough) learned subject. It is my sole intention to strengthen my intuition with the subject in the same way I am intuitive with calculus and...

I had a linear algebra course for my 1st year civil engineering curriculum, and I passed with a 3.2 GPA but I only conceptually understood about 10% of what was taught to me. I don't know what an eigenvalue/eigenvector is, what the hell is a subspace, nullspace, imagespace. What the hell is...
