pookie what are your academic score ranges 😍

im an honor student for everything except math😘 not to flex or anything (i am flexing) but i've taken six aps in three years and gotten fives on every exam

#dw tho if it makes anyone feel better i barely passed algebra ii! i got like a 70 or smth it was bad #same w pre calc i passed w like three points LMFAO #lotus’s asks

Instead of scrolling Tumblr I'm being productive and using it to type out notes for my dielectrics homework lol

Gauss:

I'm so fuckin good at forgetting stuff so REMEMBER: the dA in Gauss's law is the area of the Gaussian surface. That means it always uses the variable r for the Gaussian surface, NOT the constant R for the object you're looking at

Likewise, charge dist by definition = C/m. Check units and never forget how to get charge from this silly

I guess it's just a given that using Gauss for a sphere gives you an E field in the r-hat direction? Is that assuming the sphere is the only charge? And then I guess for an infinite cylinder it'll be the same, and for an infinite plane it'll be n-hat (n for normal of course)

Oh yeah. I keep getting reminded of Gaussian blur but I guess that's using normal/Gaussian distribution and nothing to do with flux. lol. But Gauss did a lot of work in geometry so there you go

Dipole moment = measure of how separated pos/neg charges are, aka dipoleness (Cm) Polarization = dipole moment / volume (C/m^2)

Dielectric = insulator that can be polarized by an external E field Linear dielectric = polarization is linearly proportional to E field strength

Free charges = polarization ensues from these charges, and the bound charges ensue as a result of the polarization. Therefore, if we know the polarization, we can find the free charges. (If polarization is frozen, then free charge = 0?)

#STEM #I hope you like physics #whenever I tell other physicists I'm taking E&M they always groan #also desperately need to brush up on calc II and III one of these days

If you head cannon Mike as bad at math, I automatically don’t trust your opinion. No one that sucks at math likes physics. He’s such a logistical genius.

#he took algebra in 7th grade. geometry in 8th. algebra II/trig in 9th #then he failed AP Calc AB in 10th bc he refused to take pre-calc #he feels like if he doesn’t take the highest possible class then he’s stupid #don’t do that kids #TAKE PRE-CALC IM BEGGING YOU #then he took pre-calc in 11th and stats in 12th #that’s really specific you say? #that’s bc it’s what i did #don’t take ap calc during covid when your algebra II/trig teacher didn’t actually teach trig #and you’re severely depressed #18 missing assignments 😍

i graduated uhhhh 4 1/2 years ago and now im like "what if i turned my compsci minor into a full degree :>". that may or may not be the devil talking.

#id have to take CALC II AND III #AND LIKE 2 PHYSICSES #AND ANOTHER STATS SCREEEEEEEAM #and one of the engineering courses thats required for college standing..... is a lot of group work...... #which is rough when i 1. work full time and 2. AM FULLY TWENTY-SIX #can i really do group work..... with a flock of nineteen year olds..... oh god #i might Have to #rn my hopeful plan is to just take one compsci class bc i might be able to get permission even without engineering standing #oh god doing things is so scary. oh christ.

Perhaps a bit of a long shot (cause it’s like 1500 pages) but has anyone read Hershel Parker’s Herman Melville biography? My college’s library only has vol. 1 available and I’m debating on whether or not to begin the journey cause well. It seems to be its own 3-year journey lol.

Honestly the Funniest part about this is that the main criticism I’ve encountered from reading reviews is that it’s TOO factual. literally just a timeline of Melville’s life lol. But 1500 PAGES !!! I’ll die of curiosity if I don’t read this yknow.

#Herman Melville #me in the middle of taking calc II ‘hmm maybe I should get around to reading those extremely long books I’ve been putting off’

the best part abt being enrolled in a calculus iii course is that it means i finally passed calculus ii. i have been enrolled in no less than FOUR different calculus ii courses, three of which failed to work out for various reasons, and literally NONE of this (calculus ii being a necessary course for me to take in college) would have happened had it not been for NUMEROUS FACTORS beyond my control but it's fine it's cool i'm learning NEW MATH for the FIRST TIME in FOUR YEARS and i am LIVING

#(i'd have taken calculus bc in high school thereby allowing me to take calc iii right off the bat in college had it not been for y'know.) #(The Numerous Factors Beyond My Control Which I Am Still Extensively Salty About To This Day) #like i don't even use the word salty like that very often anymore n i guess it's bc the slang fell out of use + i'm not as salty a person #as i used to be? idk BUT I AM STILL VERY SALTY ABT MANY FACETS OF MY MANDATORY EDUCATION AND THE DECISIONS OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION #i hate school admin sooooo much but Anyway #the first calc ii course i failed bc the prof sucked ass #the second calc ii course i failed bc of quarantine hitting. i'd have totally passed otherwise i'm pretty sure #the third calc ii course i withdrew from bc i didn't vibe w the prof n also it was in the evening #then the fourth one was last winter n i was convinced i got a D or smth but i guess the prof had mercy n gave me a C or smth #WHAT MATTERS IS THAT MY SISYPHEAN HELL OF NEVER KNOWING IF I WILL PROGRESS IN THE ACADEMIC BRANCHES I WANT #IS NOW OFFICIALLY OVER AND I AM FINALLY TAKING CLASSES I'D HAVE OTHERWISE TAKEN THREE YEARS AGO but it is okay #bc life keeps moving forward n i will keep moving with it #in other news my boss asked me if i'd like to basically take the lead on our afterschool programs n like. #if it keeps me from having to train for sports good lord i might as well even tho i can see like. #so much more work coming out of this bc if i'm gonna run smth or make anything out of anything i Need it to be Excellent #but what do you DO with a bunch of kids in an afterschool program???? my coworkers are like 'play sports outside' #and also i have many questions and requests to make to my boss when i see her next but it's cool i'm writing them all down #the worm speaks

Good luck my brethren

[invisiblyvisiblejay]

i got three new math books out of the library so now im like kind of actively trying to learn abstract algebra, real analysis, and complex analysis and reviewing calc ii and calc iii and i have books on stats and probability at home (but not planning to take those classes next semester)

#i really hope i can figure out a way to work through this stuff #im really really bad at self study #like i cant set deadlines ill just ignore them #but hopefully if i have 5 options ill be able to do whatever feels the most fun or interesting in the moment #i need to do calc ii like now bc i have to learn sequences and series so i can tutor is #it #and i need to figure out if i can take complex analysis without real analysis before registration #or which is better to take next semester #i have to take one of them and i think i should take abstract before both #so i also want to have gone through a good portion of abstract before the semester starts #im taking the classes so my goal isn't to like fully learn and understand everything #it's just to get somewhat of a foundation and make sure i have the right skills #bc it's been like. a while since i took a rigorous math class (a full year) #im excited abt it tho

[theolddivorcedzukka]

my parents are not fucking allowed to criticize me for having a hard time in college, they were accounting majors

#1. it’s been decades since u graduated so don’t talk to me about how it’s not that hard #2. don’t tell me i’m not doing everything i can do when i Am #3. l + u were an accounting major + i’m in biology and taking bio / chem / pre calc ii #vee keep talking

[queridaz]

never convince yourself to pursue a major you love despite being bad at it. that's the devil talking.

#i am DYING in this calc ii class and i already am just barely surviving my chem major classes #why do i have to love smth i'm SO bad at‚ this is HELL #tea talks

[matchandelure]

wait actually im gonna ramble a bit more bc procrastination but i wrote a calc quiz today and i finished early and instead of checking over my answers which was the logical thing to do i instead zoned out in the last like 15 minutes and when the proctor said time was up i realized i had drawn a whole bunch of koroks on the margins and i didnt have time to erase so i hope the ta in charge of marking my quiz likes legend of zelda

#IM SO MAD AT MYSELF I DON T EVE NKNOW HOW I ZONED OUT THAT HARD #second week of school woohoo and ive been thinking a lot #about why im at this school and why im pursuing this degree speicifically and what i want to achieve during my time here and what i want to #achieve with this life and honestly i dont know #i dont even know why im doing htis degree #idont have any passions really which is something that im very unsatisfied with and im disappointed in mysefl with that #but at the same time logic and numbers and analyzing data and finding patterns #things that dont require me to think and use my emotions so i can really detach myself form getting invested into the work #have always been easiest for me so ig thats the best reason why #idk #anyways watch bungou stray dogs if you need a good cry bc it feels good to cry #signing off i need to figure out how to. not fail calc ii #willows rambling branch #i will say that. the first 12 years of school in my country really really did a fucking terrible job in #like. giving me an impression of several fields of study #bc istg it feels like the amount of stuff i learned in those 12 years is barely a crumb compared to all the ACTUALLY REALLY FUCKING COOL #SHIT IVE LEARNED IN THE PAST ONE SINGLE TERM

[spaciebabie]

thank you so much for explaining in detail and without contempt. i have math anxiety and maybe dyscalculia and often make small stupid mistakes like that. it doesn't help when ppl treat me badly because of that. asking questions and being corrected and learning should be a positive thing, not being used for someone to look down on you. anyway, i learn best by making mistakes, b/c then it gets drilled into my head. but it's important to not be shamed for making mistakes. i'm starting to overcome my math anxiety and do better. i just need a little extra time to think about it and time to check for little mistakes too. when i get that, i do very well actually. for the first time i am enjoying studying math and physics. thanks again. i will now forevermore think of you with fondness in my heart.❤️‍🩹

hey you're welcome buddy! i have dyscalculia too and had math anxiety for the longest time. truly the best way ta get over that stuff (less abt the dyscalculia but more abt the anxiety) is having people coach you in a nonjudgmental way! math is so much more enjoyable when you're not worrying about all that stuff :))

(also if you're in the public school system they really just like kill all drive ta learn math its so bad. learning math in college is so much more fun imo b/c you're aroud ppl who reall really care abt what they're learning. they also care ta help you so YOU learn as well)

im lucky ta have had a really cool calc prof that knows the struggle of not feeling "smart enough" ta do math and she made sure ta take her time n explain concepts in full detail when we didn't get something. i hope that things get better for you!

you're not less than for not understanding certain concepts immediately! everybody learns at their own pace :)

#spacie splains #math can be hard for ppl ta grasp at times! #its been hard for me since i was a kid so i understand #hell bro there's still like 1 concept in calc II that i dont get fully and its the fucking volume revolving around an axis #i saw that problem on my final yesterday and was like 'fuck. shit.' #girl the setup is the hardest part once i can do that its over for yall

[t00l]

hi my intelligent beautiful awesome mutuals how hard is calc 3 i am scared for this fall

#uh if it helps to know #got an A in calc i and calc ii and a B in diff eq #ive heard calc iii is easier than calc ii but also that it is harder #also talking about a track that is calculus 1-2-3 and not 1-2-3-4 bc some places are different

[napsaps-archive]

but also why tf is my tuition & fees for this term so high like are you fr .

#.txt #why is calc II $500 dollars wtffff #FIVE CREDITS AND FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY ONE DOLLARS AND NINETY CENTS LIKE YOURE JOKING😭😭😭😭 #it's a scam dude like

[pendraegon]

i havent even met this professor in person yet but his math lectures are terrible like im so sorry sir i don't even know you but by god. your droning.

#granted he's not a math prof per se but like. im really just going to be teaching myself math huh =_= ) #historically im really really quite good at math and i like it but i never learned math past calc ii and this goes....way past that so 😐😶 #the last few weeks of math camp are gonna be...fun.... #this course isn't even like...mandatory but there IS a mandatory math exam at orientation so it's like. it kinda IS mandatory you know.
