    me as a n international relations student watching and i feel the same way, very fun to follow along (although idk whats going on)

    what specifically did you not understand? I was kind of bad in this video for background (since usually you need a physics or a math degree to work up to this), but I still don't like having my videos be unintelligible.

    @@jacobrintamaki No no, l think you did a great job talking through concepts and explaining everything, l just don't have the prerequisite knowledge to keep up. If anything that goes to show you're a good orator

    ML/AI/statistics/"data science"/etc is *not* science, it's a technical dead-end to keep the 120IQs occupied while the 140+'s do physics/maths. am i saying this to be offensive? no, you should be aware of the narrative traps created to corral or "tranche" you, just like all standardized testing.

    honestly this doesnt seem too difficult to pass, ive used most of the topics covered in CFD in undergrad

    the analytical section would probably be harder for me i guess

    @@psychii678 that's fair. I would say that this qual is in the mathematics department rather than MechE/Aero/Astro/CS, and is done on paper, so I wouldn't expect it to be incredibly involved as compared to industry sims.
