I have some proof up for debate that 0 / 0 = 1.

let\ f(x) = \frac{x}{x}


\because \frac{1}{1} = 1
\frac{0.1}{0.1} = 1
\frac{0.01}{0.01} = 1
\frac{0.0001}{0.0001} = 1
\frac{10^{-20}}{10^{-20}} = 1
that must mean that,
\lim_{x \rightarrow 0}\ f(x) = 1

\therefore \frac{0}{0}

please note that this is theoretical, it's just something I thought about.

I have just graduated with an MSc degree in CompSci (please no bully) in a third world country.
I want to apply for PhD in schools like Toronto or CMU. How big of a chance do I have?
My GPA is 9.6/10 and I have a few papers published (granted they are shitty no-name conferences because I can't afford to go to the Europe or USA).
I also have two recommendation letters from my supervisors.
What should I do to increase my chance?
Should I take GRE or SAT (or both)?
Thanks in advance.

Hi /sci/ I am not really a highly educated guy in terms of paper qualifications and I want to know the steps that I could do in my daily life that will lessen the effects of global warming. Right now I am planning to head out into the world on a new touring bicycle and get to know more about the earth face to face.

Please /sci/ i know this might sound like a trivial question but i really couldnt find it myself.
I remember reading about the different stages of evolution in animals and for the love of god I can't find anymore the word that describes that precise moment when you are entering puberty but still mantain your infant traits. eg. Dogs with long legs but small head, tall kids with hair on their arms but with a babyface.

You would make me happy

Here's a cool reduvidae for you.
