Turna out i have an IQ at or above 131. What does this mean? Does having an higher IQ change anything? I don't feel its useful outside of just being able to say how high your IQ is.. which is why i believe mensa meetings are a bit pretentious. But anyway, what can i do with a high IQ? Can i use this to get laid? Id trade high IQ for social adeptness any day tbqh.

You could have an iq of 180 and still be a fucking retard. IQ =/= knowledge or experience. Just your ability to learn and understand.
I had an iq of 138 when I was 11 years old. They tested me because I acted like a retard and was beating up all the kids at school.

Intelligence is a human construct, and a poorly defined one at that.
All that we know about IQ is:
Really high (>130) = generally really good at solving problems
Medium (75-115) = generally pretty average at solving problems
Low (<70) = dumbass
So no, it does nothing for you except let you feel superior to people with a lower IQ. This is an end of itself.

Absolutely.
High IQ individuals release naturally more pheromones.
You attracted women without even trying.
Physicists have invented the existence of what they call dark matter to explain the discrepancy of the lack of *observable* mass in a galaxy not being large enough to maintain the *observable* mass in orbit around the galaxy. But there is a simple explanation, the majority of mass in a galaxy is unobservable black holes and lone planet and asteroid fields. All the stars in the universe are finite and will all some day burn out to where there is no light in the universe and it is impossible to observe all the mass in the universe even though the mass of the universe is exactly the same as it was when it began. We dont know how far along we are in this process of burned out stars and black holes. The childish theories of physicists all want to believe that the universe is young and that we are seeing the majority of mass in the universe as burning stars when in fact the stars we see may be a tiny remnant of what once was many times more observeable stars, lets say 10 times more burning observable stars as we see now. We know that in the center of all galaxies are super massive black holes, so we know this is a universal process of star population being wiped out by black holes whos population we cant observe (unless they are feeding on observable matter).

It seems easy to make fun of the humble water filter salesman, but it seems like he's making a fairly decent compelling case that Atrazine is not good for you and can cause lower testosterone. Atrazine is a fairly common component of pesticide and present in US groundwater.

Is there a single great mathematician worth mentioning to prove Mathematics > Physics course?
We already know Physics has a higher bachelor IQ of around 135 IQ points in the US, at least 5 points higher than a math retard. We also know that all those Mathematicians that we hear about on Math classes were actually Physicists: Newton, Euler, Gauss, Laplace, Euclid, Archimedes, Leibniz, Lorentz, Poincaré, Neumann and so on. And there is not a single pure mathematician that gets his way in these kids books. There is also the fact that Math bachelors are almost 1:1 male:female, meaning ~it attracts femboys~ it relies on gender monomorphism, thus it very likely works through similarities and dogmas within the group and not on independent semantics, nor on specialization, nor on general outsiders' positive criticism. It's value is basically memed through academia by a bunch of idiots like engineers and teachers, and maintained by probably a lack of competition. The monomorphism contrasts against the male prevalence on the supposed 'ancient pure mathematicians", who we were actually Physicists all along.
All that said, I would like to express how much I love mathematicians, and generally STEM students, that I like spending time with their syntactical performances and jokes. I specially like people who are good with number processing and sentential logical thinking.

why is matrix multiplication the way it is? what does the pattern symbolize? what does multiplying two matrices do? what is a matrix? I mean, I remember that you can use it to describe polynomials and linear algebra objects but what does, let's say, a simple 3x3 matrix mean? a simple matrix with integers

Why is a negative number multiplied by a negative number positive?
If multiplication is like addition, how can we have -2 groups of -5 and say we have 10 things and vice versa?
For positive numbers multiplied by negative numbers it kind of makes sense.
-2*5 = -10 because -2+-2+-2+-2+-2 = -10
but it gets confusing when you apply the commutative property and try to form -2 groups of 5, you can't have -2 groups of a number.
what's going on?

Are you retarded?
5(2-2)=0
5x2+5(-2)=0
10+5x(-2)=0
So we know positive times a negative must be a negative, now:
-5(2-2)=0
-5x2+(-5)x(-2)=0
-10+(-5)x(-2)=0
-10+10=0
Now we know negative times a negative must be a positive.

Someone made an argument that circles of different radii can't have the same number of points because if you extend a radial ray from the center of a small circle through every point on its circumference to the points on the circumference of a larger circle, then there will be gaps between rays. Therefore the larger circle has more point.
I think Hilbert made this argument, but it may have been Cantor. Can Remind me please?

as long as there is a bijective function for mapping points between two circles, they have exactly the same (infinite) amount of points. (and yes, there are bijective functions)

This just seems false though.

Ho do I convert pic related into a closed-form expression?
I need a much faster way to compute that shit. I can't use a lookup table (precomputing into an array) because it became too big. I need to compute values up to up to 2^56.
I know about generating functions, but I don't know how to deal with floor().

anyone cares to explain why these two are not topologically equivalent? The second figure does not have the 'tip' included.
they both have the infinite number of 2-points (the vertical line) and no 3-points.

It seems that if you shrink the vertical line down to a point, then the figure on the right will have a hole but the one on the left won't. I can't remember if this is homeomorphism or some homotopy condition.

Is this the tip just one point? Like the left one is a circle with a half-open interval attachhed and the second one is with a closed interval attached?

Anyone care to explain to me what dx (or any other variable besides x) is in an integral? I do well in calculus (so its not like im asking for homework help) but when I think about it I don't know if i understand what dx really is
I know integration can be used to find area under the curves (which can be used with real applications) by summing up rectangles. The way I saw it was that since you're summing up an infinite number of rectangles with height f(x), each rectangle would have a width of deltaX. But I still don't think I see why it's dx.
What also confuses me is that when doing something like u-substituion with a function in terms of x, when you differentiate the function you get du/dx = whatever, and since you want to substitute dx in the original integral with du you can use dx as an operator to isolate it

dx is an infinitesimal unit of x. it comes from the definition of a derivative where we increase a function by the smallest possible amount to see how it changes
>>
>>8761036
So would that explain why if you have, say, a function for velocity v(t) in m/sec, you would have integral from a to b of v(t)dt, dt would be in seconds and the seconds would cancel out, leaving you with displacement?
>>
>>8761035
Look up integration by first principle. When you use integration to find the volume of a sphere you are summing the volume of an infinte number of cillinders from 0 to h. You find the area of a cross sectional circle and then times it by dx to find the volume. Do this an infinite number of times and this sum can be rewritten as an integral.
In short, the dx is the 'height' of the cross sections.
