/sci/ - Science & Math

Dear OP,
I was in the exact same position as you 6 years ago. I was a shitty student, i got my shit together as soon as i got to junior college, then transferred to UC davis, now im getting my MA at yale for biology, trying to become a doctor, thats where the cash is, just do that and you should make a nice some of money

The workload is higher than most degrees in that you're required to leave behind accepted common sense. "Do larger object fall faster?" Is the first question in intro physics. After measuring something the easiest way to understand the underlying principle is with the abstraction of math. After, you try to describe electricity with the tricks picked up in the intro class. Then, you learn a bit of Optics. Splitting sunlight into a rainbow with a prism, and recombining with in another prism into sunlight again.

>job relating to Physics
Physicists are to engineering what mathematicians are to banking. So any engineering industries or projects provide some work, direct or indirect. Currently, the most lucrative physics related careers is in medical imaging. The most employed area is in teaching. You'll always be able to look at something and roughly understand why it works.

what have we done /sci/.. what have we done...

I wish my jpgs could do that

Dat feel when I have to take a total of 30 classes just to get the transfer classes requirements and to get a associates degree. All math classes have per-requirements so I can't take multiple classes at once. So at best I can take maybe 3-4 classes per semester. So basically 6 classes a year which would close to 5 years. I'm 23 and turning 24 years old. I'll be close to 30 by the time I get a associates degree and all transfer classes done. That's of course if I pass them with a good grade on the first go.

/sigh

Hey /sci/,

I have a big problem, I'm halfway through my second year in A level maths, and I still can't get my head around factorising Quadratic equations properly.

Simple ones with just 1 as the coefficient for X^2 I can just manage, but ones with greater coefficients than one I really struggle with. Everything else in the whole course I am great with, it's just this one thing that stumps me.

tl;dr: A simple method for factorising Quadratics?
