I hope it's not true.

I'm sure there's all kinds of stuff if one can identify and advertise the skills they've learnt. (As opposed to the knowledge)

(Sorry if these are the wrong forums) All right, so, I know the difference between pure and applied mathematics as well as mathematical vs theoretical physics. But, I don't quite get the difference between mathematical physics and applied mathematics. Aren't they both working on mathematical...

I'm not sure if it's in-depth enough or even translated to english, but I'm reading and enjoying Rumtid by Sören Holst a bit. I hope you'll get an answer by someone who's got a clue though (unlike me). Edit: Here's a couple previous threads though, maybe they've got any...

@Namkceis Hah, I like that. If you want to do it correctly you'd need a LOT of data (all causally connected data?), as well as very precise (exact?) physical models. Question is if it'd at that point give us a probability or exact binary answer? Also, would simulating that even be theoretically...

So, I've got three sisters, and one of them's just starting preschool/six-years-school. She seems to be a rather quick learner (and bright, if that's something you can be at five, six), and when she's paying attention to something the younger one (who's quite creative) usually follows. So...

If it helps, I've been checking out http://www.w3schools.com/ for mark-up stuff and javascript in a web-context. https://www.khanacademy.org/computing should probably have good resources both for general CS and programming, too! Edit: https://www.khanacademy.org/hourofcode too for a quickie

But maybe it can be a good transitional thing to study along with some mathematics? (and "Philosophy of mathematics"? I know that "Physics and philosophy" or "Mathematics and philosophy" aren't uncommon undergrad things here in EU) Most likely not true :/

Is Our Mathematical Universe by Max Tegmark any good, as a work of popsci? Apparantly it's related to some TOE thing Tegmark's got, is that one actually something legitimate? (Edit: Sorry if this isn't appropriate for this forum!)

I keep seeing a lot about people going from physics to finance. Is it just because the mathematical modelling is similar and it's a stable job or is there something else to it? Would someone with a interest in physics and mathematics be stimulated by finance?

It's just an example, and it's a lot more subtle than "Nah yuh cawn't hang wif usss!". It's these minor continued suppresion techniques and subtler forms of emotional abuse. It's not really something you notice unless you're thinking about it and/or is pretty removed from the context. Even if...

Apparantly the semantics are a bit messed up, in swedish we use the word Mobbing to mean both bullying and "Group-bullying" and emotional harrassment. As for "Avoiding them and hanging out with other people" it's usually a lot more complicated. I know it mostly in the context of school classes...

Since when's the option between "Calm conversation" and physical assault? Confront the person, tell them they're acting horribly and everyone dislikes them for it. If workplace policy isn't horrible as in zoobyshoe's case going to higher-ups is a thing, too. Attacking them isn't going to teach...

How about "Not harassing people" or "Not having a 1700s attitude" or "Abstaining from superficial judgement" or, simply , "Being decent human beings"? Now, why don't you explain the significance or relevance of the applicants' genders?

Elaborating on my previous post, this thread should probably in itself indicate that STEM-fields are just as lacking in tolerance and progressiveness as anywhere else. If not worse in some aspects. I see a lot of articles about sexual harassment... :c
