    Studying Why did I struggle so much in high school?

    Ouch. On behalf of my people! Not everyone can be a scientist as the members have pointed out. You can be a good technician though, you can be a great one in fact and your expertise could be recognised, take a step up to where ever that may be.

    Cover songs versus the original track, which ones are better?

    I agree. In the UK we called it "New wave." Blondie, Tube way Army, Ian Dury, The Pretenders, Elvis Costello. A few others that you could stick in but probably would not have called themselves that.

    Cover songs versus the original track, which ones are better?

    That is very humble from Bob Dylan, he wrote the song after all, it is is creation. The "tribute to him," comment in particular was a really nice touch. The version you posted, Isle of Wight was 30th August 1970 so he was dead a few weeks after that.

    Cover songs versus the original track, which ones are better?

    I think this is the greatest cover ever, it was mentioned early doors. What Hendrix did with this in the studio was genius. Live? Well it's 1970 and large system outdoors, not a great combo for that time. His sound was ropey but he managed to tame it and his voice, which he didn't rate, is as...

    Undergrad What is the Difference between Maths and Classical Mechanics?

    As an afterthought. If you would have asked that question when I was an A level student I would have answered differently and more simply. Classical mechanics is part of Applied mathematics and just "Mathematics" I would have said was "Pure mathematics." That is what my books said, Bostock...

    Two is already taken, it represents an abstract concept that does not physically exist.

    Undergrad What is the Difference between Maths and Classical Mechanics?

    Apologies. However if we are going to compare mathematics with mechanics we need to know what those things are to begin with. I do not know what mathematics is, I will follow the consensus, it it philosophy? I do not know enough about philosophy to consider it. I know what maths can be used...

    Undergrad What is the Difference between Maths and Classical Mechanics?
