Big focus on mathematics where the teacher is assisted by an LLM for basic stuff so every kid can self-learn (make sure the LLM is fine tuned to not give the solutions directly). You should be proficient in calculus, linear algebra and number theory/proofs by the end of high school. Then, by order of time investment: Physical ed: swimming or gymnastics/light work out + basic dieting (with a focus on negative outcomes of over consumption of certain food types, basically scare tactics), Pop science + biology (memorizing facts) then transition to rigorous science (chem and physics) when they have a grasp on functions in mathematics, "culture class" where you learn about movies, books, fashion, art as a common societal language and less as actual disciplines, free time (should be at least 20% of school time so people don't get as demotivated), contemporary world (basically the state of the world, geography, recent disasters, a smidge of economy and politics with focus on humanitarian efforts; biases dissolve with depth). Then, you make one extracurricular mandatory and give enough options for them to personally get invested (hobbies make you a more balanced person). Make sure to have dedicated personnel to help with class behavior so teachers can focus on maximizing learning. Free lunch, 3 school trips per year, bi-yearly personal planning 1-on-1 with someone to draft a plan for your future life with realistic options (can change throughout the years, basically a 2-3 hour focus on introspection), no uniforms (but a dress code) so people can express themselves. I could go on for hours on how to incentivize children to perform well, but I'm not a behavioral psychologist so I'm not sure what is detrimental or not, but that should still be a focus. Make it so classes sporadically turn into free time periods on a weekly basis to not over-fit too much on a schedule and alleviate negative feelings some students harbor towards certain classes and days.

I would increase teacher pay but also make it significantly easier to fire them. A good teacher is worth the extra money and the system gets slogged down by the deadweights. Every classroom would have a teachers assistant so the teacher can teach instead of make copies or other bullshit. More pressure on parents to actually raise their children instead of dropping off their feral animals for us to babysit, I would make traditional public schools a privilege and not open to those who are a behavioral problem. More emphasis on trades, more and earlier life skills classes. School for kids would be 4 days a week allowing teachers a planning day. School would run in the summer but have the winter off

I'd like to preface this post by apologising in advanced for asking a question that has probably been asked a thousand times already, but I don't know where else to ask. I don't use r*ddit, or d*scord, and none of my friends are into mathematics.

My situation:
Intermediate Algebra (Blitzer) - done all odds, and all end of chapter tests
College Algebra (Blitzer) - done all odds, and all end of chapter tests
Precalculus (Blitzer) - done all odds for trig only
Book of Proof (Hammack) - 1/3rd through, doing all odds
How to prove it (Hammack) - 1/5th through, doing all questions (found solutions manual online)

My goal:
Precalculus (done) -> Proofs (work in progress) & Calc (I am here!) -> Analysis -> Linear Algebra -> Abstract Algebra -> Number Theory

I need a calculus book that fits these criteria:
- Good for self-teaching, so must have many examples, questions, and answers to at least all the odds, or a solutions manual.
- Some rigour, but not too much as I'm not fully confident with proofs. I do have a little bit of experience with proof by induction.
- No physics, no engineering. I don't care about applied mathematics.

Thank you.

I’m pregnant and get migraines weekly and headaches almost daily. Are there any vitamins that I can take that would be helpful? I take a daily prenatal and 500 milligrams of magnesium right now. I drink green tea daily as well because for a little while the caffeine helped but it hasn’t done much lately. I’m really trying to avoid Tylenol if possible

Not really. Undergrad math is very elegant. At the end of undergrad, you'd be doing what? Stuff that has largely been done in early 20th century. But current math is just extremely ugly, and disorganised. You would simply have to take results from subjects you know nothing about at face values. What you'd be doing would seem to have absolutely no correlation with real life. You'd be reading 10 page long proofs on results that you have no idea why anyone would care about. I mean even stuff like functional analysis, differential geometry and whatever people learn at the late undergrad level is still fairly motivated and organised, but bleeding edge math is just absurdly soul crushing. That is, unless you are number theory autist.

Why is lim x=>0 of 1/x equal to infinity instead of undefined? I thought that a quantity that infinitely approaches a certain number is equal to that number. That's what they told me about 0.999... being equal to 1.

Either that limit is undefined or 0.999... does not equal 1. You can't have it both ways.

The Big Bang theory does not say the universe came from "nothing." It only says everything used to be a very hot, very dense, very small singularity.
>and then turbines and then complex proteins formed
Yes, pretty much. Complexity is a function of simplicity. Things that are complex can be broken down into a finite amount of very simple steps.

We already have experiments that directly prove aminoacids can emerge spontaneously in pre-life conditions:
>Miller–Urey experiment
Then it's just a matter of them forming chains to create proteins, proteins folding, then fitting together and we have our turbine eventually.

Evolution is also directly proven at this point:

Wrong, it is correct.

I was wondering why my fat gets stored so prominently in my lower abdomen
>>
>>16586639
Because you're male, possibly low test high estrogen, but it's also heavily genetic and doesn't even look particularly out of the ordinary to me.

Testosterone promotes fat storage in the abdomen, estrogen promotes fat storage in the lower body (hips, thighs, ass), which is why fat men get comparatively huge bellies. That said, higher estrogen and lower test in men also leads to more subcutaneous (under the skin) fat, and less visceral (deeper, around the organs) fat. Seems to be the case here, you're a classic case of skinnyfat.

You can do bloodwork if you really want to, but i don't see the point, are most likely within or close to normal range. Hit the gym and go on a diet. Lose the piercings.
>>
>>16586639
It happens to everybody, lower belly is the last to disappear in weight loss because bodies tend to preferentially store fat there. It works well for cushioning the bladder (a hollow thin membrane that is held under pressure as it expands every few hours, so super easy to rupture).

A guy presenting in shock from falling down while drunk and having a bladder rupture is a classic step question

>Vaccine works as intended

But what about the mercury or other poison that caused the jumpstart? It should leave your body in theory but it doesnt, it is a heavy metal, think about gold panning, the heavy gold will acvumulate at the bottom and not be washed out with the oth silt. This happens in your body now with stuff that can cross the blood brain barrier.

Tl:dr
Autists have mercury poisoning in their brain, it can be avoided by avoiding vaxx and not eating stuff prohibited in the old testament, crustaceans n shit

The mirror knows where the egg is at all times. It knows this because it knows where the egg isn't.
By subtracting where the egg is from where the egg isn't, or where the egg isn't from where the egg is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.
The projection subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective ray castings to show the egg from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and showing a position it wasn't, it now is.
