Hi guys, college newfag here. My GPA is almost entirely propped up by me being much better at other subjects, but math has always eluded me. Well now I need it and can't avoid it. I would even say that I need a bridge from junior year of high school math to calculus 2 to be constructed in my brain in about 6 months time. Is that possible, and how would I do it? What fundamentals should I work on?

Check out mathacademy. It's 50 bucks a month but is substantially more efficient than other resources because it uses spaced repetition, small bite-sized lessons, and doesn't do any of that time-wasting video course stuff. It just shows you an example or two, and then has you practice for a couple problems, rinse and repeat. They have this giant knowledge graph of all the prerequisites from 4th grade to college level math and they give you reviews that incorporate things you need refreshers on. It's 4 times faster than traditional study. Start with the Foundations 1 and see if you're missing any prerequisites.

It's much faster than any resource out there besides literally hiring a tutor to take you through years of math. It's still in beta, so not a lot of people know about it, but it's vastly superior to shit like Khan Academy. They've got a draft of their pedagogy on google docs that I've read, and it all seemed reasonable, so I checked it out.

They literally give you a diagnostic exam that shows you the different things you need to work on and it reacts to the correctness of your answers. Just check out the page for one of their courses and you can see how finely grained the lessons are.

I wouldn't normally respond to some /sci/ thread, but this shit has given me hope of being able to learn math to mastery and I felt the urge to proselytize. Try it out, you won't regret it.

One thing I really dislike about mathacademy is it completely missed out on the big picture, theory/culture of math. If actually want to be good you have to absorb the culture/tribal knowledge. I'd say it's more accurately an accompaniment to learning math

Dunno if my thinking holds much merit but the middle three. The spots next to the "2" have a 1/2 chance of containing a bomb (because there are two spots next to each.)

Eyes don't see reality.

They are sensitive to specific wavelengths of light that allow a creature to sense aspects of its environment. If such sensing results in better odds of survival over its peers, those characteristics have a better chance of being passed to later generations.

Over a long enough span of time, think millions of generations, an eye can evolve from a patch of cells sensitive to light to a complex organ highly tuned to perceiving aspects of a creature's environment.

Why not? Its just a brush shaped to fit the gap between you teeth. Its not any more aggressive than the common brushing you do on the front of the teeth.

Ok, real talk. I've suddenly had a lot of tooth erosion, and I don't know why. I'm working to minimize whatever the cause might be, but I fear work on some of the effected teeth may be necessary. Problem is, of course, the cost of professional dental care. Even with insurance, you get absolutely raped. I'm looking for some do it at home stuff to get by. How good is drug store dental cement? Can I cook up something better at home? I can't afford to dump all this money on it.

There are some animals in between cold and warm blooded (or whatever faggy term is preferred these days). Take sharks for example. They're not full on warm blooded, but that can appreciably raise their body temperature through their own metabolic processes, and it's enough to give them a significant edge over other fish.

This is one of those messed up things about the modern world.

its actually the complete opposite
>>
>>16451259
Procrastination is people exploring and deciding how to use their time and effort more efficiently, then deciding it's more economical to wait, considering current conditions. Sometimes it's a good judgement call, sometimes it's not.

I'm not a mathematician so maybe this is a dumb question. Not even sure if this is considered more philosophical. What makes numbers a "real" metaphysical truth? And I mean just beyond the symbols we use to describe numbers, which I know are a construct of the human mind (the symbols themselves, I mean).

I can sort of wrap my head around the laws of logic, for example, but what exactly makes "2 + 2= 4"? I know that if I see 4 apples, there are "4 of that certain thing" but I'm having trouble defining what that 4 actually is and why it's considered "real" as opposed to just humans coming up with a universal measurement.

They're not "real". Human (and some animal) brains have just evolved to use some shortcuts in order to survive in the wild and "number" is just a label used by language using humans to refer to this system of shortcuts used by the brain.

No. The Vonn Neumann ordinals form a model of arithmetic (numbers), which the Peano axioms are an axiomatization of. You could pull another model out of your ass and if it satisfied the Peano axioms, then it’d be just as good for doing mathematics with, though it may have some extra behavior in some cases. There is no canonical model of arithmetic even in set theory, you can have many different ones that all behave the same.

The axioms are a way to pin down the wanted behavior of arithmetic, and the model tells us that we got something that actually behaves the way we want it to (like arithmetic). But it is always a model "of an axiomatization of arithmetic/numbers", where "arithmetic/numbers" refers to an apriori somehow intuitively understood concept.
In a similar way there is even no "true" canonical model of set theory itself, the Vonn Neumann universe is just one possible. And again it’s just formally pinning down the intuitive concept of set that already existed before.
>>
>>16553979
>I'm not a mathematician so maybe this is a dumb question
No that's a good question anon.
As far as I'm concerned numbers aren't 'real' as much as they are patterns that we use to predict things. Patterns are only provable by observation as there is nothing we can point to other than the fact that it works every time.

Adding fluoride to drinking water reduces IQ, so why do they do it?
It can't be for dental health because low IQ people will not be smart enough to care for their teeth properly, they will lack the foresight to do so and/or lack the brainpower to do a good job of it.
The only reasonable explanation seems to be that its done to intentionally reduce people's intelligence. What other reason would make sense?

Why can't you accept my position on your evil dipshittery without aping out? Just cause you're a dumb animal, doesn't mean you have to act like it.
