What's the deal with the cross product? Still trying to wrap my head around its concepts. I understand how the math works obviously but not the theoretical in between dimensions stuff. Someone simplify this for me.

>>719698459

May 19th? Only because it's the date that is unique.

>>719698693
right hand rule dude

>>719698745
Wrong. july 16th.

Next question: Only using addition and the number 8, make 1,000

you can stack. Ex: 888 + 88 + 8888888

What did you do to get into Harvard?

Did you do any Olympiads in high school?

What was your background when you started at Harvard?

Is your undergraduate in mathematics?

>>719699061
That other answer is August 17

>>719698839
What about it? I am retarded with this concept.

Make 1000 only using addition and 8s

>>719699061
This one is too easy. Just add 8 to itself 125 times.

>>719697690
Hey, no one has ever been able to answer this question, so I'm hoping you might take a shot at it. I read about a paper a few years ago on anti-entropic matter in which the entropic arrow of time is reversed. It was believed at the time that while anti-entropic matter could have existed in the early Universe, it would long since have vanished due to interactions with entropic matter. However, according to this paper, computer modelling had shown anti-entropic matter was much more resilient than previously believed, opening the possibility that some might still exist.

My question is this: what would an anti-entropic star look like? If you got enough anti-entropic matter in one place to cause it to fuse, what would happen? I find it difficult to conceptualize.

>>719698448
>719698448
August 17th, at first with numbers he can't know if its the top half, but albert does since it can't be those knowing that now bernard can see that only august 17th shared with june 17th and it was eliminated so it's all that's left.

What is the 729th digit of pi

>>719699478
>888+88+8+8+8

1000

>>719699778
That makes no sense.

If 43*(1/3) = 272

Using the same proportions what will 8283 equal

>>719700080
sorry bro did my phd on this one, know it for sure, it was page 216 I came upon the answer finally

I stopped getting math at fractions.

When you do a triple integral in spherical coordinates, how do you find the bounds for ψ?

how do i do a linear regression on two sets of data points? python tutorial???

>>719697690
If there are an infinite number of decimal places after the decimal point, how do we ever get from 0 to 1?

Why are you studying a fake system?

>>719700535
Although I think math is a beautiful thing. I started seriously lagging when letters came into play with fractions. Shame,
It's like a universal language.

Why won't op stop being a fucking fag?

Let φ(n) be Euler's totient function. Show that φ(n) = 4k + 2 iff n can be written in the form p^a or 2p^a where p is a prime in the form 4s - 1.

>implying we need floating point precision unless we're working with atoms or microprocessors

>>719700608
No... its not.

We know it isn't the the 18th or 19th. And we know that because albert does not know. Bernard knows that it is not those numbers because he knows it is not the first two months after revealing that it is not either of those two months.

First two months gone.

Albert knows which it is now. Removing the two 14ths
Because he knows which month it is.
Then albert knows so we know that the month he chooses can only have one number. The only month with one number remaining is june.

June 16th. You guys are dumb as hell.

can you or anyone else reverse engineer this parametric plot I made in Mathematica? I remember using sin cos and integer multiplication that's all.

What was your "unsolvable problem"? I heard you can get a PhD by solving what was considered an unsolvable problem.

>>719702654
>unsolvable
Unsolved

>>719697690
Could your knowledge of math be weaponized?

>>719701893
I agree. June and May are right out since Bernard can know May 19 or June 18 by just knowing the number, and Albert knows that Bernard doesn't know. That leaves just July and August. Since Bernard and Albert now know her birthday given these narrowed choices, the answer must be July 16 since it is the only choice with a unique day and unique month left.
