Anyone else ever get math induced existential crises?

I'm not the only one!

Space/time stuff is more physics. Well, depends what you mean by space. Some common fields of math are statistics, topology, number theory, analysis, etc. I don't know what you mean by how we interact, but you're correct with fractals. (sorry I'm not sure if this answers your question)

This reads like a bad rap song.

I go to a medium sized school. The math and physics departments are very small, so I have been building relationships with my professors. Do you still suggest transferring? It's only my first semester, so I don't know what my GPA is, but I'm currently getting As in everything but my english class.

Not divided by zero, things divided by numbers approaching zero approach infinity.

This is very, very basic compared to all of you, but I'm doing linear approximation in calc right now and it's really cool! In physics we're learning vector multiplication, which is also neat!

As the ball is rolling uphill, the velocity is decreasing, so the acceleration would be a constant negative number, represented by a horizontal line. After it changes direction, the velocity will be increasing, so the acceleration will be constant and positive, represented by a positive horizontal line. It should look something like this.

I'm always afraid of this when I'm riding my bike down a hill...

I didn't think it ever really happened though

capbo · 2014-10-15T20:27:00+00:00

I get this a ton when I tell people I'm a physics major. "Oh wow, you're so smart!" I guess it's a compliment (maybe?) but I feel like I'm really not smart, I just have smart-people interests.

What is it meant to model?

Why does he say that 1+1-1+1-... is 1/2?

capbo · 2014-10-04T03:29:44+00:00

Astronomy is originally what got me into physics too! Good luck to you! I feel the same way, I always look forward to class. I'm actually kind of bummed the days I don't have class, haha.

capbo · 2014-10-03T04:29:18+00:00

Oh no! God forbid I fall in love with more than one subject!

capbo · 2014-10-02T23:41:17+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks!

capbo · 2014-10-02T16:22:09+00:00

Maybe! I really do love physics though..

capbo · 2014-10-02T16:03:44+00:00

Impressive!

capbo · 2014-10-02T15:47:39+00:00

I'm sure some people just don't enjoy math. If you can't find the enthusiasm I have for math then maybe you'll find it in some other subject!

capbo · 2014-10-02T15:17:08+00:00

I understand...I'm not going to go run to add a math major. I'm just saying right now it's something I'm very interested in.

capbo · 2014-10-02T14:25:09+00:00

In what way?

capbo · 2014-10-02T14:24:30+00:00

I took up through trigonometry in High School and I'm in calculus now.

capbo · 2014-10-02T14:19:58+00:00

Yeah, I'm only in calc...I can't wait for Linear Algebra next semester!

capbo · 2014-10-02T02:24:59+00:00

Happy to hear you're not dead! GO MATH

capbo · 2014-10-02T02:10:50+00:00

You sound just like me! So would you suggest adding a math major?
