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.

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.

All supposed problems with flying cars people cite are circumvented with the slightest bit of forethought.
You wouldn't actually let people fly flying cars themselves they would be controlled by auto pilot.
You also wouldn't replace every ground car with a flying car anyway you would reserve flying cars for emergency vehicles, taxis and the super wealthy to reduce ground traffic.

This. The retard you replied to probably is like "why isn't ChatGPT discovering things for me??" in his daily work.

If red color is RGB 255,0,0
and Yellow color is RGB 255,255,0
does it mean that yellow is brighter than red, at least on computer monitors?
if not, why not?
What about 50% gray 127,127,127? Is it more bright than 255,0,0 red?
127+127+127 is bigger than 255+0+0

0 days, I'll help, and I'm merely theorizing here. same way in the printing world adding more colored ink helps adding to expand the achieved color gammut, same thing MIGHT be possible in the digital display world, just an example, and it is going to be most likely wrong, add an orange additional thingie to the existing rgb ones, that way you'll have more effective color range

>>
>>16579077
>I think that is physically (or whatever the name, Dr.) incorrect
Wrong, it is correct.
Human eye or brain responds more to green than red.
Yellow is a hue that is a mix of green and red.
So if you send yellow light with same measured power as you send green, the green should be brighter for humans than yellow.

What studies have been done to determine the optimum level of stress on a human to achieve maximum output?

>>16582220
First off you are assuming a relationship of achieved output (whatever that means) to stress levels. That this is the case is unclear.

Some achievements might only be achieved on very low stress or high stress or anything between or it could be independent. Your question is loaded.

Yerkes-Dodson makes sense -- there's an optimal pressure for complex tasks but mice can't get frazzled while doing simple tasks. Reversal theory should offer a different conclusion but it doesn't make sense.

Based on police shooting videos, it is very clear that easy tasks are impossible for monkeys which confirms half your hypothesis in a statistically relevant matter.
I also turn to the sophistication of monkeyball to confirm the other half.

Neat idea. Let's just do some field testing. Here, you go stand over on the other side of that field and hold up a big magnet, and I'll get 100 friends together to fire high-caliber rifles at you. We'll know your idea works if you can catch all the bullets

Because if you can collect it, it has far greater value for reuse than just dumping down the gravity well. Most of the satellites have valuable solar panels, batteries, electronics and antennas, perhaps a bit of remaining fuel too. Screap metal in orbit is also valuable.

You have yet to notice that autism is the new normal. Our cultures raises, educates and (in)forms "people" who only acknowledge literal descriptions of objects following the socially constructed rules of logic, reason and language as "real". For example: "love" can not be observed as an object therefore to an autist "love" is a schizo idea. Although that doesn't explain why autists like evolution and big bang theory so much because those ideas are not observable as an object either.

Literally yes. You're only picking the ones earth experiences. If we had a moon at geostationary orbit you'd be talking about how unlikely and meaningful that is, but since we don't, you count its absence for nothing.

The IAU are retards and their definition of planet is beyond retarded. If it's a spherical body in space and not a star it's a planet. There are some very interesting stars out there but main stream science can't even get the local solar model correct so they aren't ready for the more bizarre stars out there.
