Is math invented or discovered?
Invented
Discovered
>>8553549
So far it's invented
But hopefully one day we will be able to truly comprehend everything on a completely fundamental level
Im a grad student in a good university and i wantppl to know that engineering professors are telling their grad students who grade the undergrads tests to grade the female students easier in order to have a better transition into a gender-equal future in the field of engineering. On a scale from "fuck off cunts" to "go masturbate with a dry ice popsicle" how fair/unfair is this shit?
Are you told to grade athletes (the blacks) easier as well?

a) you're full of shit
b) if not, get it on audio and give the local network affiliates a copy
Is heat death of the universe a certainty?
Is it just one of many theories that have yet to be disproved?
>>8552804
i'm sold on it. no way to know for sure until we can know the true anatomy of the universe or it happens.
>tfw entropy is always increasing
I don't know much about this, but how do they speculate that this will happen? Will everything spread out into a superheated nebula?
Someone explain this to me.
thats just how exponential functions work famalam, e shows up everywhere
>>8551198
nice non-explanation
>>8551176
take the log base x of both sides, then apply the change of base formula to rewrite your equation in terms of natural logarithms and see what you get.
g-guys..? I'm on the West Coast of the U.S.
Pretty concerned now... where should I move to? Thinking New Zealand.

Well 5 and a half years later and I'm still waiting for my """"""extinction level event"""""".
You should stay where you are and not infect other ideologies with your retarded babbling.
i don't understand why people go for math/physics degrees. an engineering degree makes you more hireable. of course the material isn't as extensive but you should be able to get the books and learn it on your own after finish first year stuff like stewart.
why would you piss away 4 years and not get better accreditation? an engineer can do a mathematicians/CSs/physicists job if they can show they know the material. you can't do the reverse; if you know engineering material that's good and all but you have no accreditation and aren't actually allowed to work in that field. so by logical deduction, shouldn't you just get an engineering degree and learn the rest on your own?
depends on where you live.
in austria/germany you get job requests sent to you when you graduate in physics
>>8550419
>Wasting 4 years of my life studying something I'm not passionate about.
Fuck that man. For context, I'm majoring in mathematics.
Before I got in I considered my other options, some engneerings included. Electrical and Computer... and I hated the fucking shitty requirements. A bunch of labs, a bunch of science classes, a bunch of applied engineering classes and even some non-STEM classes like "environmental something something". What the fuck?
Then I considered non-engineering but still applied degrees like CS. It was obviously better but for some reason all CS courses I found have some absolutely top homosexual science requirements like chemistry, physics and some even had biology.
I give 0 shits about all that. I just want to do math. Anything that is not math is certified BORING.
So I tried, I tried really hard but I couldn't. So I obviously went into the only degree that will allow me to not get bored: mathematics. The degree where you only do mathematics. No bullshit labs, no bullshit applied classes. Just fun.
And the sad thing is that it could be different. CS could be a completely mathematical degree. It could be 4 years of theory, some functional programming thrown in and boom, you got it. A non-shit CS degree.
Engineering too. There is so much applied mathematics which could be taught in a more theoretical manner. Instead of "Matrix Algebra with Homo Applications" you could have "Linear Algebra" in the way it is taught to mathematicians. You could replace all Physics classes with a broader set of Calculus/Analysis classes that teach in terms of theory but frame themselves in the context of physics.
But nope, we have to have labs and gay classes.
Not my cup of tea, friend. Not my fucking cup of tea. Talk to me when engineering degrees are not absolute garbage.

What'd you get the D in?

Which /sci/ence will actually get me a Job?
Definitely not physics.
None, if you are just in it for a job. If you don't have interest in it from the start, you're not going to make it.

Engineering or anything technical

Are you implying Elon Musk is a woman?
I need some help understanding these questions and how to get the answers.
1) How do I evaluate cos(8Ï€/3) by using a trigonometric identity?
2) Determine if the following is true or false without using a calculator:
sin(8Ï€/7)=sin(Ï€/7)
3) If the graph of the cosine function is translated 2Ï€ units to the right, the resulting graph is that of the sine function, which leads to the identity: For all x, sin(x)=cos(x-Ï€/2). Write another identity for sin(x) using a different horizontal shift.
>>8555693
8pi/3=2pi/3+2pi
>>8555697
I'm gonna need a bit of an explanation. You're just throwing numbers at me my dude.
I just want to get the concept down. Normally I'm good at math but for some reason I don't grasp this really well.
>>8555703
cosine and sine are 2pi periodic
so cos(8pi/3)=cos(2pi/3)
I've been trying solve this, but can't, whoever i asked nobody knows how to solve this.
You need to solve it by gaussian elimination.
a is parameter
>a is parameter
Does it mean it's a constant?
Cause if it is you should wait until you graduate from middle school before you come here.
>>8555604
dude that's not a constant it's a parameter?
d u get it?
>>8555611
It could mean it's a constant that will influence the solution [math]\left( x,\, y \right) [/math] you aspie.
Tell me about Neuroscience/Neurology. Is it a real science?
Neurology is medicine - and therefore not science
Neuroscience is science - and therefore science
>>8555126
>neuroscience is science
not really. at the level of the neuron it's science, but the people working at that level are more biologists than neuroscientists. above the level of the neuron it's kind of silly. science usually involves experiments that test specific predictions made by specific hypotheses in the context of formal theories. there's nothing like a specific prediction or a formal theory in neuroscience. take the term "activation." you'll see all kinds of papers talking about activation in one part of the brain or another, but the problem is that no one can say what "activation" has to do with the brain (above the level of individual neurons). when you look closely you see that "activation" really refers to the instruments neuroscientists use, not to a meaningful aspect of the workings of the brain.
>>8555919
You don't understand what the word "science" means.
>literally all scientific advancement is carefully controlled by the rich with their corporations, stumping advancement, IE cancer cure.
If you are so smart /sci/ why don't you get rich first?
Because I like science, and there's no guarantee I can get rich

>rich people want to die of cancer
But people have cured cancer
Where is the main cost of niche medicine that makes it so extremely expensive (in the range $100k-$1000k for a single patient) ?
Is the production of the medicine that complicated? Or is it the medical companies charging for the research that went into it, when the actual posterior cost of producing it is minimal?
Clinical trials and approval supporting studies.
Research, trials and most importantly, the approval process.
>>8550165
People will typically do anything to survive. Supply and demand, charging what the market will bare. Big Pharma can hire more than a few accountants to calculate that.
Is it safe to use skin moisturizer on foreskin? Mine has been dry and developing small cracks that are painful. I've been applying moisturizer but it seems to be getting worse, and now the edge of my foreskin is hard on the left side. I'm not sure if I'll be able to pull it down without tearing something.
stop fapping for a bit
glaxal base is fine but i cant vouch for any others
