get a speed reading book by wade cutler. it enhanced my reading speed more than i thought possible.

I am somewhat opposite to you, I find it easy to incorporate the math. Only difference is, my teacher says i should forget about the math and think more intuitively. I think this is a bad idea though so I will only take it for what its worth.

you do not need to know the mass of the second object. F=ma and the masses of the second object cancel out. a=9.8m/s^2 on Earth and at the point above the Earth a=9.8/3 let r=radius of Earth + altitude. then plug in and solve for a.

I am in high school also. I don't know anything about physics, But I don't see how you can study QM or much physics at all without any calculus. I suggest you study calculus and work hard on the maths. I like to see people like you with this type of enthusiasm, so get to work.

If you really like math and biology, consider biomathematics.

Don't worry about not having ap calc. in most cases, its much better that you wait for college and do the calculus right. you have to remember that ap calculus at a high school will most probably be different than calculus taught by a college professor.

how about (x+b/(2a))^2

example find the linearization of f(x)=x^2 about x=3 L(x)=f(3)+f'(3)(x-3) L(x)=9+6(x-3)=6x-9

linearization the linearization of a function f about a, (linearization at x=a) is L(x)= f(a)+f'(a)(x-a) Its pretty much like a taylor series approximation.

just curious if there is a big difference in salary of bs and masters

if i understand what you mean, they just used the chain rule for derivatives.

sorry i didnt realize my post was so late and rather irrelevant to the current topic.

alex check out the mit online courseware.

1=1^(4/4)=(+-1^(2))^(2/4)=(+-1^(2))^(1/2)=+-1^(2/2)=+-1 Why exactly doesn't this work,other then you get -1=1, but other then that in the process. i don't exactly get what all this means or what you intend to do with it but i do know 1 is not equal to negative one. don't forget when you take...

not interested in math in economics? i have a copy of Theory of Games and Economic Behavior by von neumann and morgenstern. not been able to read it yet but by glancing it looks like cool stuff.
