Educating All
Brief study guides below outline how I obtained good college grades in my Science / Technology / Engineering / Math (STEM) courses.
Study tips, advantages of education diversity, the metric system, the hyperbole of Trigonometry / Calculus & US politics of education are discussed in these articles. For the courageous, a brief introduction to Quantum Theory is also given.
Work & Hobby Ideas
My formal education influenced my chosen field & the contributions I made. An article of my idea development of weapon zone storage along with other supporting examples can be accessed here.
In my retirement, I have investigated modeling of interstellar space travel near the speed of light using Special Relativity (SR). I also document applying Electromagnetism (EM) using Einstein's SR Field Tensors. For the curious, I have a write-up on how computer chips work. These articles are included below.
STEM knowledge is a collection of good ideas from imperfect people.
If good ideas are communicated, recorded & taught in English, then one can comprehend them in English.
If ideas are explained, but not understood, perhaps specific nomenclature is not understood. Relearn w/humility!
In general, STEM requires honesty, integrity, sincerity from its participants. Nature proves the dishonest wrong.
STEM knowledge advances best from courageous students who choose the most difficult areas of study & score A's in that!
