What's it like to be legit deep in math
Your motto becomes "I have no idea what I'm doing."

You dissociate functional forms from their meaning in reality thus going insane, just like Mr. Nash.
you transcend the need for sex
Prove that
2 + 2 = 4
brainlets need not apply.

$I I = 2$
$I I I I = 4$
$2+2 = I I + I I = I I I I = 4$

Set theory already did my guy.
Why do I suck so much at math?
Though I keep learning and learning it seems I will never understand it and score well in exams. I just want to UNDERSTAND
Practice with old exam questions & answers before the test
You simply lack the [math]phenotype[/math], pal. Leave math to us with decent IQs and start a career as burger flipper at McDonald's.

What sort of math are you learning?
I'm programming a math expression parser for a class and I have a question, I'm getting conflicting answers.
How should -3^2 be parsed?
As (-3)^2 or -(3^2)?
PEMDAS does not apply here, the '-' is not subtraction, it's the unary negative operator.
>>9075153
Do you want the answer to be 9 or -9?
>>9075153
-(3^2)
It would be silly to do it the other way.
you're a space lad in a ship that has lost fuel.
you see two black holes spinning about with a small but discernible gap.
can you use your mathematical fortitude to find if there is a line of equilibrium that will guide through the gap and shoot you with enough velocity to get back to your base?
or do you cry realizing you don't know shit about equilibriums?
Dog nose is black hole?

Yes, without a doubt. People don't have to understand jack to pass math classes

>The capacity for rigor is a gift, it can be (self)discovered/recognized but not learnt/acquired or taught (even by the most prominent living mathematicians and/or pedagogues).
Rigor isn't impossible to teach. People just tend to avoid learning it when they think they have an alternative, due to the effort involved and the fact that they don't see an immediate benefit.
She makes some good points about lowered standards and people using social or technological ability to hide flaws, but treating "rigor" as if it's the One Power from the WoT novels is silly.
Is there a correlation between which colours people see and certain character traits?
Studies show that 100% of people who see gold and white have acute forms of neural retardation.
Really makes you think.

These are the colours of the dress in that photograph.
Decide for yourself what you want to call each of them. For my money, left is a dark gold and right is a bluish grey.
Little Witch Academia is about how to become a mathematician. See the picture for the explanation.

sounds more like it's about how to grow as a person
it also sounds like you have autism
also you're a pedophile

Perhaps, but you need to look deeper. What you read in my picture are the seven words of Arcturus. They are basically the secrets of the universe that the old witches discovered help foster the growth of magic in humans but have now been forgotten by modern witches, and must be rediscovered.
Obviously they are about bettering yourself but then you need to look deeper into the settiing of Little Witch Academia.
THE WORD ACADEMIA IS IN THE TITLE
This is specifically about academics. This can also be seen from how the the final antagonist is a researcher whose research went out of control.
So that links Little Witch Academia with academia, but to link it to mathematics you have to think deeper. It is mentioned many times in the show that in the past, witches were the ones who did everything in a nation. But nowadays modern science has fixed the problems of everyone, and nobody needs witches anymore, which is why the magic world is crumbling. This is clearly mathematics. Mathematicians used to be the only academics. There would be philosophers and physicists, but they would all be mathematicians by trade. Like Newton, his position was professor of mathematics. He was known as a mathematician because at the time, mathematicians were the ones who studied motion.
However as science has advanced and the various scientific disciplines have separated fro mathematics, no one needs mathematicians anymore.

Any materials scientists/engineers here? What is the best materials to use to avoid damage from wet soils and water in the following situations:
1. For housing plants and soil in a building
2. Underwater construction
And don't say concrete. I'm not talking about most economic or cost effective. I'm talking about best

Wait.. what's an "electron"?
>>9074601
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron
Tl;dr it's like a really tiny goat
a photon but it spins instead of going straight
A point particle with the properties of mass, charge, and angular momentum that can interact with other point particles.
Complete the sentence:
>In a graph, an edge connects two (vertices/edges).
fuck i meant
>In a graph, an edge connects two (vertices/nodes).
An edge connects two edges to yet two more edges to further edges to even more edges.
>>9077227
either works
the edge could also connect 1 (node/vertex) to itself

Hey, neato, this reminds me of something I discovered recently relating to evolution, if humans evolved from chimpanzoos, why are their still chimpos!?
