    College Acceptance Standards: How Important is Grades & CS?

    if you're planning on applying to MIT it will though. They have plenty of apps with a 4.0(unweighted) and people who've taken those math classes, I know a couple. I know that I also don't look very highly upon summer courses in something important to 'get ahead', but many people disagree...

    Could Earth Lose its Orbit and Face Destruction?

    I have a question. What about the death of the Earth's dynamo? Since without it there's no magnetic field :frown: which would lead to a ton of problems, namely radiation and the atmosphere( not sure how much it would affect the atmosphere though).

    Math Introductory vs Upper-Level Math Coures

    I'm in high school and I'm also quite scared of this. I was lucky enough to have two fantastic teachers in middle school for algebra and geometry who focused heavily on proofs and such. Now though most of my classes have been more plug and chug... which is very boring (I frequently end up just...

    How Do You Calculate the Derivative of a Function?

    a mathematical function simply relates input to output. In a function each input has only one output. x and y are just variables, you can replace them with and numbers, but generally x is used as an input and y is the output, or f(x) (a function can also have more than one input). roots just...
