Most of you can barely do calculus. What are you even doing here?

That’s a good question. The vaccine boomers seem to be gone. There are noticeably less genuine schizos than before. But this board is still somehow composed of 95% of retards who ruin every thread with disgustingly low IQ takes and politics.

Not doing calculus, that's for sure.

Can you op? Solve:
[eqn]
y''' - x^2 y'' + e^x y' + \sin(x^2) y = \ln(x) + \cos(x)
[/eqn]

You’re a tad bit too late, anon. I suggest Algebra by Artin. I think it covers constructible numbers if I remember right.

Wildberger uses such an approach to geometry as I have mentioned, it is the present day and present time anon and you still somehow late

All applications of calculus are situational and govern by the aspects of the problem itself. Doing abstract Calculus is like memorizing chess plays but real life has infinitely more complex rules than chess. Calculus is actually overrated, ask any engineer and they'll tell to you to bypass as much calculus as possible using reason

I have a publication in alg topology in a good journal and wrote a self directed paper published on arxiv. I also am a math Ph.D student.

how do i get good at math
>>
>>16546224
It's literally just perseverance. I've had many peers better at math than me but they can't conduct research to save their lives. I think it's mostly because learning math came so easy to them they mentally break when they have to actually struggle to do research. My only advice is keep going. Also, having support systems in terms of family or loved ones helps immensely.

well i have neither so i'll just give it up

i actually applied myself and this shit is easy as fuck i am so fucking retarded it's literally high school math
i'm still probably failing the semester

what should i do in my next attempt to have a chance to go to a prestigious uni for masters somewhere in europe?

>>16540881
may get a chance to learn something interesting

/sci/ mods should make the capatcha an integral

fight me
>>
>>16548424
LamdbaplusJS (an imageboard on Tor/I2P/Yggrasil), which has a dedicated /math/ and /tech/ board, actually implemented a captcha, which is hard enough to make retards fuck off. It's not even math or logic, just basic pattern recognition, but it's enough to work.

>>16540881
I'm here to have inane arguments about biology and chemistry to memorize them better for my entry exams in 4 months, it's very effective for retaining information. Now which one of you fucking retards wants to argue about DNA replication?
>>
>>16548424
Hmm, I'd say not an integral (because that's easily solvable on wolfram alpha if it's too easy). Maybe those simple congruence puzzles, like "what's the last three digits of 1039495^290494"
>>
>>16540881
Bros I'm in my 30's going back to school and doing calculus for the first time.
Tell me it's going to be okay.

By design likely its a strategy to fill it with nonesence so anons move to more monetizable and more moderated parts of the net

There are two primary skills required to be "good" at math: being able to process equations by following the rules and understanding what the equations actually mean. You would be amazed how many people are good at solving equations who don't actually understand what the equation actually means.
>>
>>16548899
Honestly I think it depends a lot on how math is taught. In general, its application in physics really helps in developing intuition

>>16548732
Make the thread, would be better than most of the catalog

I'm dumb and uneducated but i've decided that if i'm gonna waste my time on 4chan, might as well learn some useful or interesting things while i'm at it.
>>
>>16548424
Are low IQs really that much of a problem?
>>
>>16550940
If you're really "dumb" as you say, you won't learn anything from here anyways. Why would lower quality discussion about topics you likely lack the educational background to even engage with have any educational value?

Or do you just want to feel "smart" and read big words and be fascinated by terminology all day while in reality you're exerting zero mental effort and have no understanding of what you're looking at?
>>
>>16554294
Every 4chan board is composed of something like 99,99% of garbage and 0,01% of genuine gold the likes of which you just won't find anywhere else on the internet (information on obscure topics, genuinely intelligent and thought-provoking advice, etc.). The difference with /sci/ is that the quality of the "garbage" here is miles ahead of the true mindrot boards such as /v/, /pol/, etc. Even the low-quality discussion here is most of the times genuinely interesting instead of just being piles and piles of bait, propaganda and nonsense spouted by the dumbest retards you'll ever find. If i go on an hours long session of lurking on /sci/ i don't feel like my brain has been poisoned in the way it would be if i had spent that time on a fast board.

I also have to admit that i lied about being dumb, although i am indeed uneducated. Although lacking the educational background for certain topics is not a big problem as i have an autistic obsession with googling everything i don't immediately understand.
