To lighten that mental load, here are <\/span><b>four friendly websites that can offer a helping hand in the academic field of majors and midnight studies<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>1. PhET Interactive Simulations<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Link:<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/phet.colorado.edu\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/phet.colorado.edu\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At first glance, PhET\u2019s simulations tab at the University of Colorado Boulder may give off a more juvenile appearance, but don\u2019t be fooled. These visual demonstrations are perfect explanations for those struggling with learning their fundamentals in the STEM field or for those considering a change in their career. While many college juniors and seniors may find this knowledge an excellent refresher, PhET simulations help ensure you have the basics of Kepler\u2019s laws or molecule polarity if you\u2019re just starting your major.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. OpenStax<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Link: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/openstax.org\/subjects\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/openstax.org\/subjects<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Textbooks are expensive. There\u2019s no getting around it: dumping a hundred dollars (if you\u2019re lucky) on a book that\u2019ll get you through to the next semester isn\u2019t a fun experience. That\u2019s where OpenStax comes in. OpenStax provides an online education repertoire on various subjects, such as business, mathematics, social sciences, and even nursing, so money isn\u2019t a limit in searching for knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Desmos Graphing Calculator\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Link: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.desmos.com\/calculator\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.desmos.com\/calculator<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First free textbooks, and now, there are free calculators? What\u2019s this world coming to? The Desmos graphing calculator is a surprising powerhouse, considering the lack of a price tag. With multiple fields of entry for comparing different equations, the ability to save and load previous graphs, and even a compatibility option for Braille in the settings, one has to wonder why a TI-84 costs around $95 on Amazon. Best of all, an account isn\u2019t even needed to use this \u201cdevice.\u201d Going to the website on your phone can provide you with an on-the-spot graphing calculator anytime! Convenient.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4. Wolfram Alpha\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Link: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wolframalpha.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/www.wolframalpha.com\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A foundational rule of logic is that things of great benefit often come with or can be used to great detriment. Such is the case with fire, the wheel, the plane, and, of course, recently, with AI.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wolfram Alpha is akin to ChatGPT but is considerably tuned into the world of education. If you want to compute the properties of a polyhedron, it\u2019s got you. Having issues understanding what a moir\u00e9 pattern is? It has the answer. As if being a goliath of the STEM field wasn\u2019t enough, it can even assist with hypotheticals, such as how many baseballs can fit into a Boeing 747 or the number of watermelons it would require to touch the sun from Earth. Or perhaps you want to find the top ten most famous people named Spencer. Of course, Wolfram Alpha can provide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a fantastic resource for checking one\u2019s work or seeking a greater understanding of a tenuous concept that wasn\u2019t explained adequately in the classroom. This shouldn\u2019t be a substitute for the act of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">learning<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> itself.
