All of them.

all the real ones. so mechanical, civil, electric, etc etc, but not new ones with questionable names

chill out, at least the first notation is correct. the guy probably just can't use LaTeX for shit

the french are the masterrace

>>8559629
dude, that's on a damn wikibook
(here's the link, it's very interesting though, taken that you can read french : https://fr.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/%C3%89crire_des_math%C3%A9matiques)
but i'm not even mad, i'm just laughing at how picky are regular latex users

You mean like what the hipsters are doing now?
Why not just use capitalism?
If people don't want shitty housing, they won't take it. Let the shitty shipping container houses collapse and have someone that knows what they're doing come in and build actual housing.

>>8559587
Everything that I've read seems to imply quality of life and overall life satisfaction seems to increases as population density decreases. I've never seen any real counter-arguments for why a higher population density would be better aside from stupid shit hipsters would care about.

>>8559609
Quality of life is relative to what people can afford.
Obviously people have a higher quality of life if their homes are bigger and they're friendlier with their neighbors and whatnot.
But not everyone can afford that.
Lots of people simply choose smaller housing because that's what they can afford--society deems that they are only worth that much housing.
Lots of people also choose denser neighborhoods because it's close to work. Imagine having to drive an hour to work every day. There is a correlation between depression and driving time.

>lost the information that creates the enzyme targeted by our antibiotic
not necessarily, it depends on the mechanism of the antibiotic

sometimes antibiotic resistance is as simple as a slight change in the protein conformation of a ribosome so that drugs no longer can block the exit site of the elongating protein

"Evolution" doesn't mean "improvement." There's no such thing as "devolution." A new environmental pressure killing off one kind of bacteria so another will survive, reproduce, and expand to fill the niche in its place is in fact evolution. Just because you consider not having an enzyme somehow "worse" doesn't make it not evolution. Also, it's not "the power of natural selection at work." That's the opposite of natural selection since they're introducing the environmental pressure themselves.

evolution is all around you!
look at bacteria !
>bacteria losing genetic information and not gaining new genes

i believe in evolution btw

I am talking about the math, in case it isn't obvious.

The joke could be that in Chinese 4 is an unlucky number because Four (四,Sì) sounds very similar to Death (死,Sǐ)

Beyond that I don't see any maths related pun

>>8559169
Thanks, but that's not what I was asking. I want to know how the math technique that is being taught here works if it does at all.

How do you even solve that captcha?
The dark candles on the beach is an obvious one, but in these captchas there's usually more than one.
What's the others?
Yes, I'm a dateless virgin.\
What. Holy fuck.
>Even AI discriminates against virgins
Just end it all

>>8558886
There was some stuff on NPR last night about Google Brain. Evidently Google Translation is much better than it was previously, now that it uses the neural net.

I only got the romantic captcha once when I posted the 1st thread about it a few days ago.

If I was you then I would just, right now, try to get in a state school. Even to one that has no competition and all. Just do it.

If no one will take you then go to a CC, pass some traditional classes every math major has to take like calc and linear algebra with As so that your GPA gits gud and then apply to state schools again.

Don't let your dreams be memes.

>>8558412
I suggest you buy a gun and shoot yourself in the face for being a frogposting faggot

>>8558412

I feel for you anon.

Hope you have a good Christmas and soon make a decision on what to do.

>>8559689

well memed anon 6 out of 10. Took you some points due to lack of originality.

>I mean i dont think the plane was able to accelerate at 36m/s^2
That's the centripetal force caused by the wings diverting the air in order to make the plane turn. I do glider flying as a hobby, some planes can handle up to 8g during steep turns.

The fact that the plane is driven by a propeller is irrelevant. Only the wings mater when you "pull Gs" and yes, small aircraft are easily capable of doing these maneuvers.

what type of maneuver brings more gs?

going down

or turning the plane 90º with the ground, then going up

?

Step 1: Study until you get into a really specialized subject.

Step 2: Conjecture something

Step 3: prove it

What conjecture did you prove? Is it a famous one?

The bacteria on and inside your body massively outnumber your body's own cells

>>8557834

There's a skeleton inside your body right now and when you die it'll escape. That's why they bury you in a coffin, so it doesn't escape.

if you re using a smartphone app for conducting science experiments ,well... it's like measuring lenght with bananas. get yourself a megnetometer.

>>8557571
magnetometer whatev

>>8557558
I assume by "AC fields" you mean alternating magnetic fields. The Alternating Current forms fields that can be measured just as well with a magnetometer (really depends on the frequency though).

If you want to detect an alternating field, you could just use a radio. Most consumer electronic devices are tuned to oscillate in the GigaHertz range, which can be picked up by nearby radio receivers.

It really depends on what exactly you're looking for.

Fun fact: The islamic golden age was only possible due to Al-Ghazali caused the banning of philosophy from the caliphate with his book "The Incoherence of the Philosophers".

> Why isn't the Harvard faculty trying to work it out, when cars are such an important part of our society?

Ikr? Like, why aren't literature departments working on P=NP when it's such an important area?

>>8558840
Because poetry about math would only appeal to autistic fedorafags and therefore be xkcd tier.

why does it matter?

yeah, there is a constraint, it's called the speed of light

The speed of light really refers to the speed of causality and is a maximum speed having to do with the space and time between two events which are causally connected. The only reason we call this speed "the speed of light" is because it happens to be the speed that light travels in a vacuum. Maxwell's equations reveal that light travels the same speed regardless of inertial reference frame.

I'm a cs major. I respect chem majors cause some of your required classes are hard as hell

>>8556887
My major: Mathematics
Majors I respect: None except my own.

To
Physicists: Great memes. Keep em coming. The internet wouldn't be what it is without you. I wish you a memeful christmas

Chemists: Your memes are shit and much harder to understand but you help make the medicine that cures my asthma, I think. So you know, keep the advances coming. Great jobs.

Engineers: Thank you for not competing for women with me. I am so glad that you are all gay. It really helps because there is already a lot of sexual competition at unis and honestly I couldn't deal with it if I had more opponents. Great jobs

Biologists: Thank you for keeping my ego up. If it weren't for you and physicists then math would be the lowest paid major. Great jobs

>>8556887
My major: Chemical Engineering
Majors I respect: None at an undergrad level

To
Other Engineering disciplines:
Electrical: You do control engineering, but you waste that background because of your limited education in mechanics and chemistry to model physical processes. Electrical circuits and signals are only so useful.
Mechanical: Heat transfer really isn't difficult. Vibrations is just baby wave mechanics.
Civil: At least you guys lift.
Mining/Petro: Stop money whoring

Mathematicians: Some of you are ok, especially those heading into mathematical physics and other applied maths requiring you to be well educated in a variety of fields instead of circlejerking in one small niche most of your career. Good background in your major allows you to access the other STEM disciplines easier. If you were less lazy and included some chemistry, biosciences and more mechanics in your electives most of you would be successful.

Physicists: You're like the amateur version of an engineer, not really worth my time, call me again when you have your PhD on something important. Actually don't call me you filthy labratting codemonkey.

Computer scientists: You autists made some nice libraries for us, you're ok when you aren't fucking ponies.

Chemists: I have yet to see anything you are capable even after postgrad that any of our junior undergrads can't do

"""Engineers""":
Industrial: Back to the business and management faculty
Nano: How do you manage to be even less educated than MSEs?
Physical: Nice job studying watered down physics and not even being accredited fuckhead.

Bio, food and health sciences: If you just included some PDEs and numerical analysis/simulation instead of forcing a dumb degree mill programme you would actually be employable as something more than lab techs.
