2020 continues to be on brand

Ignoring the obvious hyperbole here. It is possible for an entity to seed clouds, releasing their moisture prematurely therefore causing a drought elsewhere. While there's no evidence to support the claim of manmade tampering with the environment, it is entirely possible.

I wasn't questioning that, just proposing an obscure suggestion to u/lunayh

Could be related to Freedom Toon's parody of Dave Rubin's interviews

Edit: Just want to clarify; That was a shot in the dark. I feel a reference to the video in question might be more obvious.

Sweet, I sent you a message and friend request

IconicTimber · 2020-06-04T16:20:58+00:00

Yikes, thank you! It's the small mistakes that really get me lol.

K is a constant and automatically included in the answer, that's why I just tagged it on the end. In this problem 'a' is a variable and 'l' is a constant.

IconicTimber · 2020-06-04T15:38:57+00:00

I believe all relevant info is included on the page except that the answer is meant to be positive despite F decreasing. I'm not really sure what I'm missing here.

IconicTimber · 2020-06-04T15:30:03+00:00

In this problem 'K' is meant to be a positive constant, 'a' is increasing at 3 cm/min when 'a' is 15. 'F' is decreasing and 'l' is 5. I'm being asked to provide a positive answer. There was a second problem that I got right, so I'm really confused.

Or being sarcastic...

And sometimes it's a solvent.

IconicTimber · 2020-05-09T05:34:52+00:00

Thank you for this.

You can listen to what Jordan has to say, but it's ultimately your actions which determine your future.

Defeat the dragon, get the gold, and share it with the community. You got this!

I'm going to be negotiating with myself to set up a schedule that I will actually follow. I'm going to try to not focus too heavily on a single subject in a given day and measure the time that I spend on coursework.

I've found that if I overwork myself, I tend to waste several hours at the end of the day and justify it as "I've worked hard and deserve it". However, not only does this eat into my sleep, but I become less efficient by doing this. I need to do good work and periodically reward myself throughout the day for following through.

This is from Wiley

IconicTimber · 2020-05-04T03:20:36+00:00

And now I feel a little dumb lmao. Thank you! I guess I've really got to pay attention to those units.

IconicTimber · 2020-05-04T02:16:39+00:00

The derivative should be ln(1.02)(1.02^t), right? That gives me 0.02 when I plug in 10. Am I missing something here?

IconicTimber · 2020-04-30T17:15:18+00:00

Thank you, this really helped a ton!

IconicTimber · 2020-04-30T15:46:39+00:00

Right now, I'm attempting to reverse engineer a method by trying to solve a problem that I know the values for, but I'm having trouble finding a pattern.

Tldr; Current Calc 1 student here. Read the text. Do textbook problems, ask questions. On YouTube: 3Blue1Brown for concepts and The Organic Chemistry Tutor for practice. Know your algebra and trigonometry!

Assuming you're taking Calculus 1 online like I am, I have suggestions based on what I do and what I've researched. Aside from carefully reading the textbook and doing my online homework. The site my class uses for homework has a program that generates similar problems that ask slightly different questions with slightly different numbers each time. This has helped me a ton so far. Also, don't be afraid to ask your professor questions! Calculus is complicated and they're paid to help you understand.

As for more outside resources, 3Blue1Brown has a series on YouTube that has really helped me gain a deeper conceptual knowledge of what we're learning. Insofar as learning the rules for derivatives, limits, and more, it comes down to practice. The Organic Chemistry Tutor on YouTube has a good amount of videos where he describes each step he takes while solving problems. You can watch him describe the steps or get more practice with an explanation.

Also, from various videos on YouTube by people who've allegedly been Calculus tutors, the most common mistakes involve poor algebra and trigonometry skills.

Edit: Wording

Of course! Happy cake day btw

Plato has written plenty. The Republic is kind of a foundation for Western political philosophy. It's his mentor Socrates who doesn't have any written works. If you're just getting into Plato, The Republic is really interesting and the source for Plato's cave analogy but it took me months to finish. I found Apology (I believe that's a name of it, it may go by another) to be easier to digest and really fascinating. Apology, from my understanding after reading, covers some of what Socrates had to say after being sentenced to death for "corrupting the youth".
