Things are fun when you do them because you want to. So either you can combine learning with activities kids usually want to do or you make them want to learn. The traditional approach is to try to make them want to learn, which as we know only work on a fraction of the kids. I'd say that the...

The mathematics in physics is just used to structure up your statements and then from that logically derive their implications. For example if I have physical statements A and B then I can find a statement C implied by those. You can do that without translating into the more succinct...

Why would that be odd? And knowing more subjects doesn't mean that you are mathematically superior, just that you are broader which doesn't help that much once you start getting into research.

Making great games is an artform, just like making great movies or music. You need someone who knows how to convey feelings to people, the feeling of a game is the most important aspect. Try for example to play a game without sound, it will suck, it is the same game but you just lost a lot of...

Yeah, I get that vibe. You can imagine the person demonstrating gym equipment or something like that if you have a hard time removing the distraction of them having strange interests. But it is still just a few videos, it isn't like it is easy to see who has it even when you meet them face to...

That one is much harder, I can't tell much by just hearing a couple of snippets of him talking and watching his hands. I forgot to mention eye movements and such, do he have a video where he talks into the camera? ed:From these video I'd suspect it though...

He doesn't seem autistic at all, why would anyone draw that conclusion? Having autism/asperger is not about having strange interests. Since asperger/autism have such low prevalence if you see someone having strange interests like this it still is very unlikely that he got asperger. If we look...

In general the closer you get to applications the less competition there is since there are more willing to pay you for it. I'd guess that the REU's you are talking about are mostly associated with applied physics or (if theoretical) solid state physics.

I am tired, I really shouldn't have reacted like that. Look through my arguments with jostpuur in this thread, it was 1 year ago: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=360250&page=3 And these ones were 2 years ago: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=318507...

Maybe you misunderstood, they assume just as much about me as I assume about them. You can't have a discussion without assumptions, as I said. Maybe the assumption I made in this topic was a bad one, but after a few posts I almost always agree with my opponent. As I said, I do not discuss to try...

I am sorry I didn't see this earlier, thought that the two sixes in the first statement had to be next to each other for some reason... So it is also wrong.

You have the wrong expression after the integration, try taking the derivative of that with respect to x to see if you get the same expression as you started with. HINT: You forgot the x to y dependence.

I don't know, I just assume of course. When it sounds like they have thought for themselves it sounds better to me than when they repeat something which could be found in a random textbook. I'd say that I understand something when I have translated it properly to my minds natural language, ie...

It is a bit hard to read your description, some details are missing, maybe I assumed some things that weren't. I don't see how the first statement is true with this information you gave, just pick a vector from L in K so there is something missing. Or I am just dumb and missing something you wrote.

Is it a pde or not? Ie, is X a vector or a single variable? As for how to solve it if it is an ODE, just integrate it with respect to a and then solve normally.
