The moon actually bends the light because of its gravity, so what might look like a curved line is actually a straight line!

because the plane is in space too

you sound like a boring overly cynical loser despite having no real world experience.

Your semen or other people's semen?

>>8583737
>Does consuming semen provides any health benefits?
i don't know for sure, though i have a degree in biology.
I GUESS there are no benefits.
I'd rather be concerned of possible contagious diseases.

you already got your answer in the first post, most likely quasar to be precise. Also how retarded you have to be to think any artificial construct or process could send so strong radio emissions?

NUS is not that great to be honest.

>>8583627
No, but they will send me a list of courses in english, most of them on graduate level. It will be tricky to put them together but it's totally doable.

>>8583627
Also, how does NTU compare to NUS?

>Constructivist mathematics
Tl; dr for brainlets?
Like example of something invalid in constructive mathematics.

>>8582635
Well, like I said in the post, my mathematical acumen isn't very developed. From my understanding, intuitionists/constructivists reject the law of the excluded middle i.e. either a proposition is true or its negation is true, and replace this with a sort of 'burden of proof,' where truth must be demonstrated or 'constructed' by providing a method for the creation of the mathematical object. It effectively rejects all truths but constructed proofs in mathematics, hence its notoriety.

If I've misrepresented it, feel free to correct me anyone.

>>8582635
I'm not OP, but in constructivist mathematics you have a slightly weaker logic so you can think of it as a generalization of classical mathematics (like how rectangles are a generalization of squares).

The core difference is that in classical logic you always have double negation in the sense that if "not not P" is a true sentence in classical logic then "P"is a true sentence in classical logic. In constructive logic you do not have this in general (this doesn't mean that P is false, in fact there are times when double negation will hold for a specific sentence and times when it will not). Sometimes this core difference is described in terms of the excluded middle, the two ways are equivalent.

A side effect of this is that some axioms are so strong that they imply double negation for a specific theory and so it doesn't typically make sense to talk about them in the context of constructive mathematics. This includes the axiom of choice for instance.

Another side effect is that you are forced to distinguish between two different forms of proof by contradiction:
>Suppose P is true, reach a contradiction, conclude not P is true.
>Suppose not P is true, reach a contradiction, conclude [not not P is true and therefore] P is true.
The second form here is not valid under constructive logic.

If you think about it really hard we never actually prove a sentence is false in classical logic, instead we only prove that the negation of true. In constructive logic we emphasize this by ensuring that any proof for a statement is a direct proof and not the result of a bunch of double negations.

So that's a yes right ?

I hope so.

Not eating / avoiding foods you're allergic to?

>>8582484
>What does cure mean
I hope youre being at least 5 layers of irony deep

>>8582484
that is prevention...

Cure would be those with hypersensitivities being able to eat their allergens with no allergic response no matter how large the amount

No, we're good.
I'd have to monitor two boards.
Also, /sci/ has too few users for the boss to even consider a split.

>>8582365
No, we actually prove things and have a degree of rigor to what we do.

>a degree of rigor to what we do.
is this a joke

yeah brain games

"Work Like HELL!" ~ Elon Musk [Official]
you can make anything do the math Stewart needs about 90 ~ 140 hours to be finished completely with problems so if you put 15 ~ 20 hours daily you can nearly complete the whole book with solving the whole exercises/problems
after all it's doable but IT'S DEPENDS ON YOU

NOT ALL PEOPLE ARE HARD WORKERS

>>8582331
Doing only the odd exercises should be faster then

Let's work.

Yes, this is possible if you do this and nothing else. Pretty much the life of a math undergrad who plans on doing well anyway. Wouldn't agree that multivariable is taught in first year, and most schools don't teach ODEs till second year, because most kids are fucking brainlets.

It's easier to make bucks as an engineer.
If you're smart and driven, you won't regret it though.

Pro: It's very challenging, and highly respected
Con: It's very challenging, and respect isn't the same as a job

There's a lot of faggots on this board who like to shit on physics (I think recent polls showed 14% of the board study physics, and majority study engineering), but as a physics graduate I feel like my degree has put me in a really good position for work. The only cases I know of where physics graduates are unable to get jobs is where they're too autistic to succeed at interview.
It's easier to get work if your degree leads directly to a certain kind of career (Engineering -> Engineer, CS -> software developer/engineer, etc...), but there's nothing that stops you getting the same work if you try hard enough because physics is right in the middle of all these different STEM subjects.
If you're prepared to get a masters degree to specialise in something, or get a new skillset, this is where your physics background will really shine to employers (e.g. physics undergrad and stats/data science/ML postgrad is a fantastic combination). You shouldn't find many subjects to be a challenge at masters level, either.
Basically, if you're interested in studying physics, you should study physics. As long as you're studying a STEM subject, it honestly doesn't really matter what you study; your degree is gonna have a lot of value.

>>8581918
Every non-meme STEM degree is worth studying 4 years. Heck, even 8 years. Who the fuck cares.

Pros:
>A better understanding of the universe than engineers and everyone below them

Cons:
>A worse understanding of the universe than mathematicians

You're probably trying to bait, but you're not wrong. Linear has far more real world application with real data than calculus.
