The bolded is incorrect. There is a very strong link between math and scientific computing. Scientific computing is literally at the intersection using computers to mathematically formulate and efficiently solve numerical problems across scientific disciplines.

Scientific computing = efficiently using computers to solve difficult math problems. Cest fini.

Christianity EtcRe: God Delivered Me From Low Self-esteem by Hiccups: 12:11pm On Nov 19, 2017
shocked

Dear OP,

You don't have to bring God and deliverance into this, low self esteem is neither a sin nor demonic. I want to believe getting involved in church activities helped you acquired more skills that may have augmented your previous self esteem. Within this context, the church was nothing more than a platform to boost your confidence. Any standard working environment can equally do same. God is not into delivering people from low self esteem, because God has place in everyone all he/she needs. Low self esteem is at best self inflicted either from inability to discover ourselves or similar reasons.

LiteratureRe: What Is The Difference Between Reviewing A Book And Summarizing A Book? by Hiccups: 7:05am On Nov 14, 2017
shocked
Review is a combination of two words (re & view), meaning you view again. In the case of published paper or article, this implies critical assessment of it.

On the other hand, Summary is about highlighting the key points of the paper without necessarily being critical. However, summary can also be critical

For me, there's neither easy nor tough field, there's neither average nor dull students but exceptional students exist. I am 100% convinced everyone has set of suitable courses. However, students seems dull or average when choice of course was not inwardly influenced.

If M&S as your choice is what you really want, go for it please. Most people complaining about how its difficult should be the least of worries if it's really what you want (be honest to yourself).
EducationRemember Eleven-Eleven? Share Your Thoughts by Hiccups(op):

thanks. would you like to share your experience as a pilot? which company do you fly for?
Apologies Sir, It is difficult to say if I'm a pilot grin grin

One thing I can assure you, it's a nice profession, like flight get a bit turbulent at take-off and cruise thereafter, so is Pilot career. Like take-off and landing is critical to flight, so is Pilot career. These words sums it up.

Osasnidas:
maybe we now realised that being the best graduating student and not having money is illiteracy... Most of our top politicians are third class degree holders... Besides no girl marries degree this days
I like your Choice of words. However I disagree that Nigeria politician only can be use as benchmark for success. Different people have different goals in life, achieving such goals defines success within each individual context. Everyone goal is not to be politician. I partly agree no lady marries degree but you can't doubt the potentials of degrees (good ones), the fact that some politician and others do purchase these degrees speaks volume

Ok...i guess you are a rotary pilot. please share your experience. where you sponsored by your company through your training? someone advised me not to sponsor myself this period as jobs are limited, is this true? I have contacted some schools in the US but the cost of training is very expensive, and are you a dual rated Pilot? what advice will you give me?
I'm more interested in helicopters by the way. thanks
Rotary pilot is a good career choice. I am happy you have an idea of the cost implications. Same cost issues makes it difficult to get trained by companies though not impossible. However, to make yourself an attractive trainee pilot, you may want to get PPL license first.

To be frank with you, there's a little Nigerian factor in most companies funding your training. If you possess a BSc, it may work against you, as pilot with BSc easily progress to management, hence a typical Nigerian Oga feels threatened as you seem to have better prospect. To corroborate my point, you will realize most pilot trained by this companies have WAEC only as at when they got trained. Another Nigerian factor is who you have to speak for you. God bless Nigeria grin

My little advice is for you to get a PPL first, then search for companies that will trained you for CPL license. Don't be too quick to disclose you have a Degree if you got none to speak for you. Also be informed AW139, AW109, Bell412, are among the common types in Nigeria. Finally, talk with more people who knows you better and are close to the industry, they may be better positioned to advise you based on such knowledge.

To the best of knowledge, Fixed wings and rotary wings pilot have a different salary scale. You may want to be more specific about this. Having said that, I will weigh in to give an clue about rotary wing pilots salary. If you get trained by any helicopter operator, I'm afraid you may begin your career with a regrettable figure (it's worse with a Nigerian firm) of 250K. However, as you build your flying hours and progress from mere FO to SFO to Captain, you'll be earning slightly over $3k to $8.5K depending on what client your company is flying for and your type ratings. At the moment in Nigeria, helicopter pilots flying for Shell earns more than their counterparts but you need AW139 rating.

That being said, if you would like to go into flying, Fixed wing will offer you the shortest route to become Captain with less earnings. The reverse is the case for rotary wings. My advice is if you are about 30yrs, start with fixed wings, when you become a captain, convert to rotary wings.
