yep. at first i struggled but then i learned it p good, despite not really knowing what i was actually doing to these matrices or what they represented. a lot of times i can learn how to do something mathematical or physics-y without actually understanding it, which is great for school, but not, like, life

It wasn't fun.
I enjoyed Calc I and Calc II because I felt they had applicable functions in the real world. Physics was a lot of fun, once you get how the formula stacking goes.

(I'm fine with a useless, shallow understanding if you want to help me pass integral calculus beginning a week from tomorrow :4)

Linear/Matrix Algebra was a fucking nightmare.
exactly - i couldn't really visualize what the hell these matrices were. just like when i got to advanced physics stuff where we used.. hermitian operators and whatever nonsense

Yep I have degrees in Biology and Psychology and once was a bioinformatician, believe it or not
i wonder who has the most surprising education/career vs. how they seem on the forums
i feel like I'm a lil bit surprising, as i am a buffoon
jake what do you do
i work in radiation safety
Oh awesome I need your help with this planet in No Man's Sky-

I'm looking forward to the prospect of using databases and spreadsheets to derive trends in criminal activity and how it correlates with socioeconomic factors. I don't know if I have the job yet, at all, but apparently I'm on a short list due to veterans preference and a bach degree in CIS/MIS.
Also, if my source is correct, they will be training the analysts on Hadoop and BigTable.

I actually really enjoy like, the theory of integrals. Yes, I can totally see how engineering problems in the real world probably aren't composed of horizontal functions, and how finding the area of a curve is progressively more precise if we take a larger and larger number of cross sections beneath blah blah
Doesn't solve my skip-class-and-be-anxious habit tho

Yeah you went way beyond me on the physics. I think we did thermodynamics and fluid dynamics at the very end of the class and that was about it. We didn't really do anything theoretical.
But our prof would always have some cool shit for us when class started, like the match/fork/glass trick.

It's funny, but you usually move past taking the cross sections of a curve within the same class and simply expressing it as a function, effectively making that part of it obsolete before you even get into derivatives.

Also, I'm not insulting anyone by suggesting this at all, but I am suggesting this.
Get Calculus For Dummies.
It's a really, really well-written book.

...The video didn't really touch on some of the hot-button issues surrounding genetic engineering of people.
For example: It is difficult to quantify age-related death as a bad thing from an impersonal / long term perspective. The way that social progress tracks with generational turnover is very problematic here; by significantly putting the brakes on that turnover, we are also likely to stall out the erosion of social mores.
It's less a problem of 'What if the Kim dynasty made super soldiers?' and more of the problem of, 'What if the Kim dynasty was literally eternal, barring violent intervention? What if simply waiting-out a bad era was no longer an option?'

I dunno if me talking about what I do/have done/am educated in would surprise anyone.
It's p mundane.
Except for getting free HBO using military hardware. That was p cool.

Did you have to do linear/matrix algebra?
I hit the math wall on that class.
Or I had a horrible teacher...
