[Julius Skrrvin]

Hmmm... yeah I guess it's not really something taught in school. Honestly, I only knew because it's been kind of a big issue in NC these past few years.

1 wrong. I know which one, i put oxygen when im pretty sure i should have put nitrogen, right?

Interesting:

More women (54%) than men (37%) say many young people do not go after degrees in math and science mainly because they perceive those subjects as being too difficult.

Like anything else in life, to succeed in the math and sciences, individuals need allocate the proper resources into efficiently learning. Find a niche then run with it.
