You have a circular field of radius 1 surrounded with fence. You have a cow and rope. How long does the rope need to be so the cow can eat grass only on a half of surface of the field if one end of the rope is attached to a cow and the other end on the fence?

Make the rope 1/cos(a) long where a is the angle it makes with the radial line.

Can we have a thread about the Late Pleistocene age? I think it's really interesting, especially the many varieties of megafauna living during this time. General discussion or recommendations to websites or books for further reading would be appreciated.

Is he /ourguy/?
>Cavendish was a shy man who was uncomfortable in society and avoided it when he could. He conversed little, always dressed in an old-fashioned suit, and developed no known deep personal attachments outside his family. Cavendish was taciturn and solitary and regarded by many as eccentric. He only communicated with his female servants by notes. By one account, Cavendish had a back staircase added to his house in order to avoid encountering his housekeeper because he was especially shy of women.

Is it possible that a method of reasoning and deduction exists that is superior to the scientific method?
Could it be the case that the scientific method is fundamentally wrong, and the reason that we can't find a unified theory is because it breaks down at the quantum level?

What's the scientific explanation of why we talk to ourselves? Is it because we're so social creatures we have to impose a conversation in order to feel more comfortable?
I talk to myself extensively, more than anyone else in my life t b h. I go over concepts, discuss how I feel on matters, talk about random things, etc. I often find myself yearning for a moment alone where I can talk to myself. Is this healthy? If it becomes too common of an occurrence, will it translate to introversion?
Do any anons talk to themselves? And if you do, do you speak as "we" or two separate entities (I am of the latter category)?

Simulates social interaction, I guess. Discussion or pretend discussion of what you're thinking is good for solidifying and refining ideas.

Research scientists and specifically mathematicians of /sci/, what motivates you?
Is it the process or the reward?
Do you genuinely enjoy doing math, or just enjoy discovering a new theorem or result?

I enjoy immersing myself in the math. I completely zone out and study math for hours on end when I'm onto something, and it's a very peaceful experience.

You see... I was a young boy. I was probably... six at the time. I did not have a care in the world. I liked to watch cartoons and super heros but then one day my mom took me to a weird place. This place was full of kids my age but there was something very different about them. I could not tell but I could simply feel it. My mom had gone there to talk to a woman and then this woman handed me a piece of paper. She said it was test for me and I just had to pick the best option in each problem. I did without much thought about what was happening and at the end she told my mom this one number: 165. You all know what I'm talking about. After this day I stopped going to school, I was not allowed to. I stopped watching cartoons because again, I was not allowed to. I now always went to this building to meet my tutor. He taught me math. I was ten and I already knew the fundamental theorem of calculus. Then they took me to competitions. USAMO, IMO... I've been in them all. I still have my medals but I do not like looking at them anymore. I hide them in my house. Anyways, after this I was taken to college. 14. Four fucking teen and doing topology. I thought it was cool. Hell, perhaps it was cool. Obviously now that I was in college I could not attend competitions anymore. Well, it is not like I wanted but at least the competitions gave me a false sensation of safety that I lack today. But anyways, college went by and I got my PhD. In the time all of this happened my parents divorced because my dad never wanted any of this for me. He wanted me to be a normal kid. He said my mom forced me to a life of misery and she could not take it so she left him. Then from the divorce proceedings my dad lost everything and I killed himself. All while I was abroad and did not know shit about anything that was going on. Anyways, I got my fucking degree. My whore of a mother got to brag on her facebook about her prodigy son one last time so I guess she won that battle huh.

Is this easy maths?
- Sequences and their limits
- Finite and infinite series and their applications in computer science
- Real functions in one variable
- Elementary functions and their properties
- Derivatives and integration of real functions
- Applications of real functions in one variable in computer science

Wait, I dont know shit about chemistry, but do you believe you can actually pull this off? Not being snarky, I am curious.
>>
Here's a useful quick rundown on classifying various concepts in general chemistry, though you'll have to do your own work to fit, let's say, the various elements of electrochemistry and any other topic into the conceptual framework. Everything is either one, two, or more of these categories.
“CHEMICAL/PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Subatomic/Electronic
Atomic
Bonding
Molecular
Material
THERMODYNAMIC CONSTRAINTS & EQUILIBRIUM
Kinetic
Energetic
Entropic
CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS
Types of Reactions
Active Functional Groups
Reaction Mechanisms
Systems of Reactions”

What happened to those autists who thought they discovered some flaw in Einstein's g.r. or some bullshit related to C not being constant? I remember pointing out they fucked up in the calculations, but do not know what they did after my comment. Pure cringe.

I'm not satisfied with the current balding theory. My main gripe is the pattern that only men seem to develop while progessively balding.
Why is it that men first slowly lose hair in their temples and then it spreads to their vertex?
Women do not follow this pattern of hairloss. They typically lose their hair in a disffuse manner all over their top scalp and it usually takes menopause to trigger this.
There's also no comparison between how many 18-25 yr old males balding versus women in that same age bracket. The bulk of women balding exhibit hairloss after their 40s and yet you have men in their teens already showing signs.
The androgenic/dht theory may partially explain this disparity between men and women but it still doesn't explain the particular pattern.
Thoughts?

Sweat glands my boy. Bigger brain produces more heat, this is dissipated by the temples.
If you're not balding, you're confirmed a brainlet.

Diffuse thinning in women is a completely different matter to male pattern baldness. You seem to be mistaken in thinking that both men and women have the exact same underlying cause and that it simply presents differently in both genders. No, it's a completely different thing.
