Synthetic geometry seems to be a very neglected subject nowadays.
What are some good books to get started into the subject beyond the basic stuff that high school courses offer? Among recent mathematicians who devoted themselves to this topic, I only know of Coxeter. Are there any other recent authors who published books on synthetic geometry? Or should I look into older books? Also, how good is Coxeter for starting out?
i just started economics at university (north italy), university doesnt seem to be this big place of knowledge, most students here dont care about economics but are here just do to some uni because they feel they have to, its like high school, and professors are normal, nothing special at explaining, i could just study by myself and do better, and read books, like i already did before uni, since they give very long winded and watered down explanations.
matbe its just these first lessons since ive been here for just 4 days.
anyway university is more of a certification agency than a teaching one, its role to give you the paper in the end, but will this paper be worth something?
Does the IQ define certain characteristics of the character or does the character shape the IQ? example: a high IQ individual will be able to solve problems faster than his peers will that give him more confidence? or because he is a confident individual his IQ will help him to search for bigger problems to solve?
What about IQ and porpoise? does high IQ individuals have meaning and porpoise because they are able to see how their actions affect their environment?, this seems to be present in the people who is able to see a career path and not only a job, do high IQ people "see themselves in a professional career" and low IQ only see a "job" because they are unable to attain a career?
I hate to bring this shit here, but I need (would like) some reassurance that I'm not a total idiot. I like being a fundamental scientist, but the further I get in my career, the more I feel like I'm being laughed at by engineers and all those who placed earning potential far higher on their list of priorities than job satisfaction.
I feel like I can't really start my life yet (I'm 33), that I need to be able to compete financially with all of the software engineers in order to do things like date, etc.
Do any other PhD-level chemists at least occasionally feel like they robbed themselves of any significant earning potential? How do you keep yourself going, and keep that passion for science alive?
How does Psilocybin affect your ability to study? Been invited to partake in some magic mushrooms but I have to start studying for exams the day after. Will Psilocybin in my system hinder my studying capabilities?
>dark matter makes up 85% of the universe >somehow go about morning commute without crashing car into invisible gravity blocks along 85% of the highway >astronauts made it to the moon and back despite 85% dark matter obstacle course >astrophysicists overwhelmingly too prideful to admit or consider that maybe Einstein and Newton's 300 year old universe math wasn't perfect
All dark matter has ever been is a free pass for famous lackluster mathematicians whose math is 85% wrong. Imagine pulling that shit anywhere else in scientific theory jfc.
Bonus points for >Events that would cause apocalypse without extinction >Events with a warning period >Not asteroids, unless you can make it non cliche
Who would win in a debate, Atheists(there is no God, the supernatural doesn't exist, omnipotence doesn't exist, all-knowing doesn't exist, ghosts doesn't exist, the afterlife doesn't exist) VS agnostic(all atheists don't believe are possible)
