If you really think it worths shit, patent it, get the money from family/friends,suck dicks,idk.

I would do little tests before though, like setting a squeeze page, paying some traffic to see if theres market and try to build a email list with the promise of 'coming soon' (without actually saying the exact thing, just hints at what u will solve). If people picks the bait then you patent and aim to launch it

>>9026605
The problem is how can I patent something that's more akin to a proof of concept than the final thing? Although it works it literally looks made out of something you might expect from junkyard wars and it's functioning at a much lower capacity than it could since no optimization.

>>9026610
Patents dont have to even work lol the proof of concept is enough, get a patent lawyer that will help you to pick the right words, does the requests,etc

anyone know if getting growth hormone tested can get me an appointment if I'm out of clinical range or is it not worth it?

Why did you measure hormones? There is no reason to order such assays just for the lulz. Labs results are meaningless outside clinical context, and so, an isolated low GH results means shit

You need to know and understand these concepts:
limit (of a sequence and of a function) when it exists and when it doesn't, derivative, integral, the rules for changing the order of applications (derivative of an integral of a function and the integral of a derivative of a function). This is basically standard calculus.

You need to solve enough problems to develop an intuition.

For the above pick any calculus textbook.
After that, I would recommend "Understanding Analysis" to understand why we define things as we do in calculus, do at least one third of the exercises.

You are now proficient enough in single variable calculus/analysis to solve a large amount of physics problems. Pick up a book on engineering statics and dynamics and do enough of the exercises to get intuition for how to solve the problems.

Pick up a book on basic linear algebra and multivariable calculus, solve most of the problems.
Pick up a book on introductory electromagnetism, do at least half of the exercises.

Go back and review these books again, (skim each chapter and do some of the harder exercises, if you get stuck then make sure to work through it).

You now have a solid foundation for learning more physics. On you go.

If this is over your head then describe the problems you are having in more detail so that we can tailor it further.

>>9026265
Funny, because the concepts they teach us now require an understanding of calculus, when I haven't taken a single class on it. I remember learning Bohr's derivation for the radius of a hydrogen atom like a grocery list, without understanding it at all.

I've covered basic math, equivalent to o level math in the UK. You know, basic geometry, trigonometry, algebra, probability etc. However, I want to brush up on this as well. I know how stupid this question is, but what is the very basic beginning point for learning mathematics?

Thanks btw. So I should proceed from math to physics?

There are three types of students who do research in undergrad

>1. Prodigies who excelled in pretty much every math contest available, maybe completed a bachelor's early, manage to do original research in a field while schools like Harvard, UC Berkeley etc. fight over them. Extremely rare and noteworthy; these students are Fields medal material

>2. Talented students who probably started analysis in high school, attended a great undergrad program and have a very good chance of admission to a top 10 program. Relatively rare when considering the population of mathematicians as a whole, but disproportionately represented in the top ranks of academia. Many will find TT-positions relatively soon after graduation

>3. Reasonably motivated, hard-working undergrads who find a relatively easy problem in an obscure field that requires little background, e.g. combinatorics or group theory. These students tend to do well if they don't burn out in grad school, but finding positions in academia is a crapshoot

For the rest of us, the whole point of a PhD program is to prepare you to do research. Just about any problem that's worth the effort will require a huge amount of background material in a narrow field as well as basic skills across a large swath of mathematics.

I have talked to several math professors at my old school (top 20) who are skeptical about undergad research: unless it's poor research it doesn't hurt, but it's not a necessity to get into a good school like most students think it is.

Anyone can post in Vixra, so if you find an interesting problem that does not appear when you google it then congratulations, you are on your way to becoming a researcher.

Pro tip: In Vixra you can post under a fake name as long as it is not trying to impersonate someone else.

>>9026250
I just want to know what pathway exists for me to pursue research as a career. Im not fond of just putting it as a hobby because of the dedication needed but im afraid of not bejng credible.

>/sci/ - what is a number?

>>9025869
there are ways to define numbers in a bigger framework, peano axioms, set theory, etc etc

in the end, numbers are what they are not because of the theoretical framework in which you define them, but because they do what you want them to do

>>9025875
but what if i want to explain why they are able to do what i want them to do?

As long as you dont get it from some trash tier school then its fine, unless youre a fucking genius no one is gonna give a shit if you got your degree from

Protip op, if you were in the military any state college will do as you already over came the biggest hurdle a college bound student would need to deal with which is tangible experience.

Only non-military folks have to worry about the "prestige" of a college they enroll into as it is one of the few ways they can advertise themselves.

In other words you should be fine, just get go into an employable field and call it a day.

>>9025839
ayyy

fellow vet here. i already did what you are about to do (if you don't get lured away by something else). i got out of the military at 27, got my engineering degree by 30 and am already making six figures.

the GI bill is fuckin' rad. i literally made 35k$ a year just off the BAH and scholarship/pell grant refunds. pick a bunch of schools and apply. your vet status will get your foot in the door with a lot of schools, more than you think. you have a fuckton of options so don't limit yourself.

getting a job with vet status is ez.

No

The evolving nature of language implies that there are things in the universe we have yet to encounter. The word "computer" and all it implied did not exist a thousand years ago. Mathematics is just a language. Sometimes entire dialects of mathematics are created in order to describe new categories of concepts.
But I'm aware that you're asking "does math imply god exists" and the answer is certainly no. Also, you're an idiot.

No. Heisenberg was making a metaphor. As for what 'God' is a metaphor for, that's something you can only discover for yourself once you get very, very, very deep into science.

Somethin about this thread be telling me it ain't gonna solve my problems, ya feel me?

Well yes, it's a complication that predicts no measurable difference than standard quantum theory, so it's not good science on an empirical level.

>>9025282
It's a good way to get quantum woo popularizers to shut up

What's the big deal with getting raped? Humanity will just go extinct one thousand to one billion years from now.

>>9024549
Do you really think humanity as a WHOLE can have FREEDOM OF WILL?

Individuals can act in a way that seems like free will and sometimes erratic, chaotic. Large number of people will act more and more predictably.

>>9024564
Not an argument.

For me it would be 1+1 = 2. I wish I could remember how it was before I knew arithmetic. I could feel like a brainlet and perhaps develop some empathy for the engineers around here.

Seriously, do any of you remember? How it was before you knew any math? If I try to remember that far back it is just like a black hole ate my memories. I don't remember it. All memories I have are from after I knew arithmetic. Fucking weird.

How do you decolonize something that was never colonized in the first place?

none of those books are remotely scientific

>>9024151
I agree. We need less white people in science. Mainly because if we get rid of white people, who make up a majority, then salaries will sky rocket for me and other brown scientist and mathematicians. We fucking need this.
