AI Thread Summary
Coursera offers free engineering classes, prompting the idea of forming a study group to watch lectures and collaborate on coursework. The organizer expresses confidence in their discipline and motivation but acknowledges that many people struggle with self-study due to various reasons. They emphasize the challenges of managing larger groups, suggesting that smaller, more focused gatherings would be more effective. The organizer invites interested individuals from the Connecticut area to reach out for participation in auditing numerical methods courses, highlighting the preference for smaller groups to facilitate better engagement and organization.

Coursers has some wonderful engineering classes for free. I was thinking about getting a group of people together and hosting a "class" where we watch the lectures do work and help each other if need be.I'm not really sure how to even organize a "club" like this. I know I am disciplined and motivated enough to put the time in, but (yeah this sounds rotten an arrogant but its true), most people in general aren't capable of self study either due to a lack of discipline, effort required or interest. Let's just say I had a prior experience where I was in charge of a team where most people wanted the results but not to actually go and get them.

Anyway, if you're in the ct area and are interested in auditing numerical methods courses with me send me a PM.

What about people in your area. The smaller the better. Organizing large groups is very difficult. Organizing large groups online is impossible :)
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
