Stop bumming my shit. Stop stealing my shit. Start buying me shit. Start shouting me shit. Fuck the depo off! Fuck the contradictor off! Fuck the stopping off! Fuck the cops off! Quit not believing me. Quit beating me. Stop controlling me. Stop ruining me. Start doing good. Stop killing me. Stop ageing me! Stop taking. Give me little alien self's getting everything. Munch munch

Or I'm leaving. With my body, alive.

Kids, this is why you don't do dugs

What is why kids don't do drugs? I'm pretty sure kids actually do do drugs.

Yep. I work at Sears now since pure math degrees are not in demand. I wished I took the engineering route.

Not too bad all things considered. Make ok money, but corporate world can suck. My boss is a prick though. Luckily, he's moving back home with his mom so hopefully I will no longer be cleaning the broiler.

this only works for |x| < 1
im guessing either the pic youı posted is wrong, or x^n becomes so small that it doesn'T matter

>>8977716
It's authors privilege.
He could have let s = 1+x+...x^n-1

>>8977720
OP here. You're right, I didn't specify this was for convergent series. Thought it was obvious enough to not have to mention here, but yeah, if x^n is so small that it doesn't matter, then it is only a good approximation. And even then, if that's the case then by that logic you get inconsistent results if you try the sx^2 case, and so on..

>>8977450

the rest is cake.

>>8977450
Only switch if you're OK with being broke but satisfied with your work.

>>8977450
Stick with CS unless you are literally retarded and believe /sci/ memes. CS is by far the most employable degree right now, pure math is pretty bad. If you are good at CS and can make it through all the schooling to do computational physics you can probably do it. You can't say the same for math.

>What factor determines whether the offspring will be a 10/10 or a 5/10?

genetic probability.

Just saying, gold diggers are nothing special, genetically speaking.

>>8977415
it hoestly depends on what traits you are expecting of your offspring....

Is finding a rich mate one of those traits?

The rule of thumb on biological issues is you become increasingly prone to health problems the more you stray from the natural order. Sitting all day is unnatural and digital screens are very unnatural. (I'm not anyone to talk, I'm currently at work in front of a computer and I'll probably go home and watch chinese cartoons later)
But anyway, getting a headache is probably from focusing your eyes on the screen for so long. Make sure you blink at regular intervals, and close your eyes or look away from the screen for a minute every once in a while.

>I'm fit

>I'm fit


yeah sure little kiddo, everyone and their uncle i know is "actually very fit" and can "do a lot of pushups"

show us a pic of the destroyed mess you call a body to confirm that you are in fact not fit

>>8977269
It's either headaches from eyestrain or tension type headaches being triggered from screen usage. Both can be helped by every 20 minutes going outside and looking at far away objects, atleast 20ft if not more, for a minute or so. The longer you spend without a break on the computer the more time you need to look far away to get relief.

I say outside mostly due to the fact it seems to work better for my eyestrain that looking at something far away inside. It could be the increased vitamin D production but that's pure speculation.

Look into Post-Modernism.

Science is already dead.

How to be edgy:

>20th century
>question religion

>21st century
>question atheism

>22nd century
>question previous questioning of atheism

and so on.
This is how collective thinking works. It's slow and never goes anywhere, it just oscillates between two extremes indefinitely.
Homosexuality was accepted in ancient Greece, then it was banned, now it's acceptable again. This is how it goes. Most people are idiots and can't make decisions of their own.

Scientists shouldn't even touch these subjects. They should make science.

>>8977100
Everything you said was wrong though. There was no such thing as homosexuality in greek times. It was not an identity.

>>8977065
Does a real number exist*

sorry for my incompentence

No, real numbers are an Archimedean field.
You can do this with surreal numbers though.

What is [math]x[/math]? What is [math]N[/math]? If [math]x=n[/math] and [math]N = \mathbb{N}[/math], then yes, for instance [math] r = -1 [/math].

Try not to be too condescending.

It works, Idiot. My father got rid of his cancer by becoming vegan and detoxing.

>>8977041
logically, using the power rule, it's 1

>>8977041

S(∞) doesn't make sense -- in particular it assumes that the limit exists and it may not. You could go definitional:

Let

[math] s = \mathrm{lim}_{n \rightarrow \infty} \sum f(n) [/math]

and then take S(n)/s -- with the explicit assumption that the limit exists.

Alternatively you can replace

S(n)/S(∞)

with a more concrete form like

S(n)/S(n^2)

or

S(n)/S(n!)

or even use a limit over n and m, and have

S(n)/S(n+m)

>>8977049
I would have written s(∞) in the correct limit form but im lazy. I am assuming that the limit does exist and im interested in why some functions for f(m) seem to make it approach some number or 0.
if I use 1/m! for f(m) it seems to go to 0 but if I use 1/m^2 it approaches some number near 0.608

We don't care. No one here cares. You are not a special snowflake for doing some shitty lab bitchboy job for a researcher. The only emotion I feel towards you and your post are mild anger for having been lured into wasting my time reading it.

I have an exam tomorrow in Ochem.

Thanks for your help and have fun discussing politics instead of math and sci or talking to me or whatever.

Fucking bastards.

Thank you for gifting me that information from your beautiful mind.

Anything else besides willpower. Do you clench your asshole, ice your balls, slap yourself in the face, or eat a nice meal?

Back in the days they actually cared about laying a consistent foundation. Nowadays they sweep it all under the rug for convenience.

The invention of alternative facts (which gave rise to the field of postmodern mathematics) in the early 20th century by Alfred Tarski, though the credit is typically awarded to the more well-known Godel (and occasionally Turing).

>>8976749
fuck off, mathematics up until it was formalised was literally random shit strung together, that worked well enough. Mathematics adheres to ZF Set Theory and is entirely consistent, it had to be formalised as it got more complex.
