Currently using the Pentel Kerry Sharp (0.5 lead)

Previously was using the Pentel Twist Erase (0.7), and before that some transparent green papermate

This. I absolutely love it.

My previous favorite was Pentel Energel 0.5 mm black.

Which one of these books would be best for a rigorous brush-up of high school mathematics? And if I go with A&O, which book should I supplement it with to get the geometry treatment Lang has, but A&O lacks?

Axler Pre-Calculus or Stitz-Zeager Pre-Calculus

Polite reminder that >>>/sci/sqt exists and there is no need to duplicate it in here. Please do try to look up the answer to your question elsewhere before posting it (especially if you're asking for textbook recommendations). Anyway:

What are you studying this summer?
Have you come across any interesting problems, theorems, articles or books lately?
Are you open to the suggestion of starting an /mg/ reading group, where we'd go over a paper or textbook together?

Now that the 'applied math isn't math' meme has been debunked can we have some healthy discussion about control theory, preferably without the autismic high schoolers trying to convince everyone they're the math police?

Why aren't most people on /sci/ doing great things in math & physics despite being smarter than Feynman?

Feynman is PROOF you can have a low IQ and do amazing work.

Because we're on 4chan shitposting.

Feynman could have been here if the internet was around then, shitposting with us.
>>
>>9059538
But Feynman had a low IQ and was successful. People on /sci/ are smarter than Feynman and not successful. Feynman messed around in his life too and still found such success. Don't think posting on /sci/ and wasting time is the sole factor.

>>9059532

"I suspect that this test emphasized verbal, as opposed to mathematical, ability. Feynman received the highest score in the United States by a large margin on the notoriously difficult Putnam mathematics competition exam... He also had the highest scores on record on the math/physics graduate admission exams at Princeton... Feynman's cognitive abilities might have been a bit lopsided... I recall looking at excerpts from a notebook Feynman kept while an undergraduate... [it] contained a number of misspellings and grammatical errors. I doubt Feynman cared very much about such things."

There are literally thousands of kinds of moths. There's a good chance that there's a moth that looks exactly like that, even if that image is edited

Hi /sci/, /k/ here.
Theoretically, could a makeshift furnace designed like pic related get hot enough to melt down or otherwise destroy a handgun?
I need to know for reasons.

>>9083895
Also, if the answer is 'no', how could someone improve the design to fit the requirements with everyday household objects?
>>
Charcoal can get up to 2,700 °C if you have an extremely good furnace. Iron melts at ~1,500 C

So yeah, it's possible.

I am a businessman, I translate the mathematicians autism to customers and take credit for their autism, therefore I am superior to the mathematician. I am superior to the engineer, scientist and technologist.

I make more money than the mathematician and I have a higher rank than the mathematician. I also get higher quality of women but that is irrelevant as mathematicians have no interest in women.

Most STEM majors are Asians and I am a white man, a white businessman therefore superior. O have blue eyes and you have brown eyes.

I am the superior one, I drink your milkshake.

If you want to criticize my statements, go ahead, I am here to listen to you

you also work more hours than me and if you are as good at your job as you claim, you'd be objectively better off as a self employed entrepreneur.

you also have to kiss the mathematicians, engineers, and technologists ass on a daily basis because good STEM talent is actually really fuckin' hard to find and retention is a big deal in the corporate world at the moment.

is the compensation better? sure, but you are earning every penny of that shit.

I kiss them in the ass and then I fuck them in the ass when I take credit for their work and make all the money
