No matter how hard you try?

Chemistry, for me. And I am really making an effort to get it because the subject interests me and I may pursue a chemistry minor.

I actually just bought a General Chemistry book at Borders today. Got it half price.



So, hbu? It doesn't have to be a large subject like mine was, it can be something miniscule.

I kinda sorta understand the 4th and 5th.   doodthing;


higher dimensions are just planes (for example) wrapped up in geometrical structures of advanced complexity, represented in 2d/3d projections by the 5-simplex, 6-simplex, 7-simplex, etc (or matching hypercubes) until you reach the proposed 11-dimensional shape, whose cross-section in 3d space would look like:

this is just a simple plane, but in 11 dimensions.

For comparison, 4th dimension is a plane wrapped into rotating taurus.

for mind blowing but comprehensible explanations of this I would recommend Coxeter's 'Regular Polytopes'

snorkel, taurus is the constellation, torus is the shape.

Anyway, calculus. It's something someone like me shouldn't have much trouble with, but I only half-understand calc 1 material, and calc 2 can fuck right off.
