Less validation and more guidance on what I should do. I stated in my original post that I have been suffering in math. I know that’s what is holding me back. I just didn’t know what I should do to remedy the issue without falling behind in my course work. That’s why I am taking online courses...
When I’m high school I was allowed a calculator. In fact, I was allowed the Ti-Nspire Cx CAS version. So algebra was easy. The calculator did it for me. Trig? Calculator knew it. Calculus? My calculator could take complex derivatives and integrals. College came and I wasn’t allowed calculators...
Well currently I am in my universities physics program. I know that law school is competetive, but over the summer I took the LSAT and passed making me feel like I am way more knowledgeable in that then I am physics or rather math. Problem is I need a 3.5 GPA at minimum, but higher to be...
Well I was thinking about going into Law school...i didnt mention it because it was physics related, but considering my inability to do well in math then maybe I can just get my four year degree and go into Law...something less math and something I enjoy a lot more.
Well money is an issue. I can’t get loans anymore and the school doesn’t want to help me. I either get my degree or I work on the math piece is what I’m hearing. I’ll have to think hard about this. Thanks
I want to become a researcher...I’m already in a undergraduate research group on detecting cosmic rays for the purposes of studying harmful effects on upper stratosphere space flight. What I want to research is still up for debate, however.
The title says it all. I am a sophomore with a flailing GPA. It’s currently at 2.2 since I keep getting C’s in literally everything. I have gone to professors, advisors, and other academic officials in the hope they would help. All I got was the same old same old. Study harder, read the book...
I am currently nearing the end of my Calculus 3 course and have been struggling all semester. First there is some background information. I passed Calc 1 and 2 with a B and C respectively. Over the summer I worked on my skills and felt prepared. Unfortunately my section was chosen for IBL...
Not being a full time student affects my aid, and since it is four weeks into the semester and my stupid self didn't think of asking this earlier I really am in a catch 22. Therefore! Fear not, I will do my best to re-learn the basics as the course goes on. I know this is bad, but this is the...
Thanks for the advice! Is there any way to memorize these things without drawing them? For tests and such drawing these things might be time consuming and I was curious if there are any specific ways to remember these things in your head. I have read many different anecdotes and such, but never...
Thank you very much for the reply! I can't drop calc 3 unfortunately as I would no longer be full-time and it would set me back a year in my degree. What I have been doing is going over these concepts since the summer time. I just simply have forgotten various things and was curious about ways...
So the best way to keep these things in my head is just practice a lot. Do you have any recommendations for problems sets. By this I mean do you have any recommended sites or books filled with problems but I can check my answer to see if it's right. I guess I should just do a problem at least...
So I am in calculus 3 this year and have passed both calc 1 and 2 with a B and C+ respectively. I could have gotten a better grade but was lazy. I was lazy by using calculators and not actually learning the arithmetic and algebra. Now one serious issue I have is Trig. I can never remember trig...
Yeah I checked with a classmate of mine and they got 51 degrees and then the solutions also showed so by my professor. I will be more clear next time as I can see many areas causing confusion. Thanks for the help everyone!
No worries, this is my diagram. "h" is the leg parallel to the -x direction. It's basically the part from his shoulder to his lower head. So the neck I guess.
