Ask HN: How do you find free academic/scientific material?

Over the years, copywriting, SEO, and other factors have made it increasingly difficult to find quality material on the internet. It takes more effort than ever to find what you're looking for.When I need to learn about a new topic, I usually search for scientific articles. A few years ago, I discovered that I often got good results by searching for "KEYWORD PDF," as this led to static PDF...

A good article; it resonated with my current situation.

I'd like to share an insight from a workplace where I've been for 10 years and have had 6 different managers and various teams.

When you start working with a new manager or team, hold back on excessive commitment and trust until the first serious crisis arises within the team or department. This usually happens within a few months. It's in serious situations that people's true capabilities are revealed when they're needed most.

check out Hania Uscka-Wehlou (Phd) on Udemy. She teaches mathematics and problem solving the proper way. From the beginning.

Her precalc is ~200h and she goes the rigorous path, by proving things.

She is multiple times awarded by universities for her skills in teaching and you will understand why.

Course is exeptionelly well organized, quality of presentation is... 11/10? Coupon codes are in lecture materials.

Just start with precalc 1. I believe that after a while the path will emerge for you by itself

Edit: combine with professorLeonard on Youtube if you need some practice by computing.

Welcome to the joy of mathematics!

Thank you for mentioning chatgpt, it is great way to get the job done
I am speculating that only a fraction of users explicitly shut down a program that appears beasides the clock. Is it truly worth irritating that segment of users? I am one of those who occasionally turns off OneDrive. However, the idea of starting to look for alternatives has only just struck me. I'm really tired of waves of popups everywhere.
incredible work!

read some psychological articles about interpersonal interactions. Group processes. Do not break existing unwritten rules. There is always a some sort of climate in a team/workplace. Observe how other people interact formally and informally. Be more like them and after you are accepted as group member - you then can pursue your own goals. Get to know other people before you roll out your ambitions.

it may be hypomania. Please seek professional help.
understanding people group dinamics from a social psychology perspective has been eye-opener for me. Rekommended reading - social identity theory and then a book: Social Groups in action and interaction. 2nd ed. Charles Strangor.
it sounds like addiction to me. Some people are more sensitive to all kinds of addictions than other.
