There is something unusual about the Assad regime's fall in Syria.

First, it's that easy to give up the power without a fight?, a question that comes up in mind. Second, the Syrian rebels are being friendly to Russia and that means Russian bases will remain in Syria.

What's the bigger plan in Syria?

Continuing on the review on Single Variable Calculus.

While I was resting at the beach earlier after the 21km run and being bitten by lots of mosquitos, I was relaxing and scrolling the web for news and saw Syrian government collapsed.

A big win for the Turkish backed Syrian rebels and for the Syrian citizens.

I'm curious about the implication of this for the Western defense in the overall strategic picture.

Finished with a long slow distance run in 21km distance.

Need to replace my new running shoe because although it's the most performant of all the running shoes I have tried, this one has zero comfort when it comes to distance running. Always in pain from the discomfort with this shoe.

A former gf who lives in Britain with access to information that is only for the elites actually warned me about an impending global problem and told me to prepare to stock supplies back in 2022.

She could not explain that specific event but kept on touching on conspiracy theory and made me irritable from time to time and sees it as a paranoia from her side.

Turns out she might be speaking some truth after all.

Been hearing about this WWIII from a conspiracy theorist angle, the one from Albert Pike and I was initially quite intrigue a few years back but now it doesn't sound right because the current WWIII is not a conflict between Islam and the West. It is actually a world conflict from various state actor backgrounds. Russia's leader Putin is an avid Orthodox Christian. The ally Iran is an avid Shia Islam. While China on the other hand is god-less state, a communist based from Mao Zedung doctrine.

The global community isn't declaring WWIII officially and this is actually a good idea so as not to start panic among the populace but yes we are already in WWIII and this started from the invasion of Ukraine and followed by Iran's war against Israel via proxies and the looming pacific conflict that will happen once China moves to take back Taiwan.

These three strong main allies have orchestrated their state's action towards their goals in a synchronized manner. It was planned and these actions are directed against the West.

I'd say WWIII has already started unofficially and the battle field is multidimensional, it is a hybrid warfare.

During the first undergraduate degree in computer science, math courses involve mathematical proofs at some point but when it comes to my 3 unit calculus courses, I didn't remember any proofs discussed.

In the recent BSEE program's 4 unit calculus course, no proofs were discussed too.

What is interesting is that in the single variable calculus course from MIT-OCW, proofs is a normal part of discussions.

Learned about the Taylor Series and a specific case known as the Maclauren Series and also solved some calculus problem involving taylor series expansion.

Missed out on series in calculus as it was not taught, I just realized.
These series includes:

- Taylor Series
- Maclauren Series
- Power Series
- Laurent Series
- Fourier Series
- Asymptotic Series
- Binomial Series

Looking at linear approximations using derivatives. An application of differential calculus which was not taught in our class but is being discussed in MIT-OCW Single Variable Calculus.

Saturday and long hours of power outages. Slept longer though.

Time to get back on the review of differential calculus on the Single Variable Calculus course.

Finished gym workout today.

North Korean mercenaries. I didn't know such a concept existed in North Korea.

Continuing a quick review of differential calculus from the single variable calculus course before I proceed to integration part.

Done with gym workout today.

After the self study in custom made Electrical Engineering program covering the needed fundamentals and specializing in control systems and covers the 4 core courses in Physics, and is aimed at defense and energy applications, the next step will be an MSEE and a PhD in Electrical Engineering.

With this new plan, my future journey and prospect in STEM is now sealed, considering that I get out of the battlefield alive 😅

The lecture videos are very revealing as to the quality of the course delivery for MIT OCW.

Their single variable calculus starts with the fundamental concepts and extends this immediately to application.

In my BSEE recently, application was at the last part.

Taking the single variable calculus course from MIT-OCW and things are easy now because I took it recently from my BSEE program.

A curious question is on multivariable calculus. Engineering programs here in my country PH does not have a separate multivariable calculus course but then I realized that in the differential calculus course that I have taken recently, we touched on the topic of partial differentiation and it turns out this is multivariable calculus already.

Using generative AI, it came up with an undergraduate program based from MIT OCW with the focus that I like.

Interesting.

Interesting, I got more than half thousand entries in my blog and had difficulty finding a specific post in the past but good that the platform provided me with a mass post editor.

Finally found a post related to a circuit and electronics course but no where is the crafted program on electrical engineering. I think I may have deleted it and need to craft the program again.
