DA FUQ, Grothy was a little weird
>DA FUQ, Grothy was a little weird
why?
It's well known that he was very much into eastern spirituality etc.
Also, his senpai was killed by Nazis and stuff, no wonder he was a little on the odd side
I always wanted to read works on Steiner.
>>8542349
I find it interesting the only mathematician he chooses is Riemann...
over Gauss, Newton, Euler etc. etc.
interesting
any math person
can you explain why Grothy would only choose Riemann as his "18" among many other great mathematicians?
Holy fuck /sci/ I have to study for a 12 chapter cumulative physics exam tomorrow and I am required to know how to correctly utilize all of the equations in pic related.
How fucked am I? How do I efficiently study for this shit?
Also all of these too
O comon, many of these are painfully obvious uf you paid attention. Just memorize the ugly ones you weak faggot.
>>8542302
I took my physics 2 test yesterday, and I was severely fucked. Good luck.
If I keep throwing a dice with infinite number of sides, each side representing a unique number, is it possible to get same numbers if I just keep throwing for a very long time?
What's the logic on this. Like, the problem is easy if there is near-infinite amount of sides, right? Then you eventually start to get same sides.
>>8541661
[math]\mathbb{N},\, \mathbb{Z} [/math] or [math]\mathbb{R}[/math] numbers?
>>8541953
The first 2 options are the same you brainlet N is in bijection to Z and Q
>near-infinite
Reminder that engineering is NOT a science. The purpose of engineering is to construct something with the intention of improving human life in some way. This is the realm of values, not science.
Using scientific knowledge =/ science. Take medicine as another example.
engineers do research too. dumdum
>>8541640
The intention of the research is value.
>>8541645
>the purpose of engineering is to construct something of improving human life in some way
>acknowledges engineers do research, then implies that it is of no value
OP confirmed for transhumanist faggot.
>sage goes in all fields
What is his name again?
aspergers jesus

Hit me with your most ridiculous scientific theories. Bonus points for theories in the realm of Stephen Hawking. More bonus points for 'Failed Stephen Hawking' theories.
>>8541271
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter is actually butter
>>8541271
Stephen Hawking isn't actually paralyzed. He just turned ugly and did this as a publicity stunt.
hmm I want to go with black holes are mostly wrong and there is some universal restriction like the speed of light that would apply to large masses to eliminate the possibility of the singularity from happening.
>Alberto Einstein wasn't that smart
-> Has radical and unprecedented spatial intelligence
-> Makes revolution in field of physics
-> Produces math we still find useful to this day
>>8541110
He wasn't that smart, actually. If he was really smart then he would have been a mathematician but he was too much of a brainlet for that.
>>8541133
OP here. fuck it's true. sorry for fucking up, didn't think of that
>>8541133
What's your contribution to this world, my friend?
I love how this place is full with "smart" people.
>tfw i'm so smart.
Yeah, anon ! Going to a community college and studying math is a real proof.
https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.04208
Guy looks serious, but no way it's real.
What are we looking at?
Can you tl;dr for brainlets?
>>8539537
Matrix multiplication is hard.
The naive way takes O(n^3) time, and all the better ways perform in something like O(n^(2 + e)) time with 0 < e < 1. We also know that you can't outperform O(n^2) time, so it's natural to ask can we get an O(n^2) algorithm? Whoever wrote that paper thinks yes.

If this is real, it's fucking huge.
Do any other /sci/fags get sleep paralysis? I'm curious.
Wikipedia says that sleep paralysis is sometimes accompanied by hallucinations, but I've never personally experienced hallucinations. It's happened to me so many times now that it's more of a slightly freaky moment rather than deadly terrifying.
>>8537942
Just sleep on your side and train yourself to never sleep on your back and you're good. I used to get this problem a lot too, but every since I stopped sleeping on my back, it's pretty much stopped, and when it does happen, it's very minor and doesn't involve any screaming or even that much fright in general.
>>8537942
I used to get it, with hallucinations.
It was fucking terrifying. Usually it was just flashes of white that my mind would turn into screaming faces. Sometimes my ears would ring at the same time, and I'd just lie there trying to will my body to move until it would.
Glad I don't get it any more
>>8538023
I don't get them anymore either. The hallucinations were something else. What made them even more "fun" was that I'm a fighter. I'd wake up paralyzed with the hallucinations and I'd fight back against it. When the paralysis finally broke it felt like a slow motion ramp and suddenly I'd be in the middle of the room swinging at hallucinations that weren't there anymore.
what do those brackets mean?
>>8543208
expected value
>>8543212
thanks
>>8543208
thats a pretty blunt mathematical statement
Can someone tell me how to study for As in pre med classes and just classes in general? Organic chem, physics, chemistry (current). Winging it isn't working anymore and I'm probably going to get straight Bs this semester.
You review what you learned in class. Is there something else you were expecting?
>>8541586
Obviously, you cunt. I wouldn't have made this thread if I wasn't.
Understand the material. Review as the course progresses. Why would a certain reaction pathway occur? Why is another product favored over another? Orgo is ez shit m8.
Is it even possible to calculate the volume for this trapezoid?
(Ignore the red drawings, that's just me trying to do some futile shit)
>>8541318
Don't you learn this in calc 1?
>>8541318
Probably using calculus
Imagine the thing on top being a box and then halve the volume
Which of the following are prerequisites if I want to learn algebraic geometry, cohomology, sheaf theory, and all those things?
>Measure Theory and Integration
>Group Theory
>Rings and Fields
>Set Theory
>Topology
>Category Theory
>Functional Analysis 1&2
>Ordinary Differential Equations 1&2
>Graph Theory 1&2
>Partial Differential Equations 1&2
>Matrix Theory and Linear Algebra 1&2
I can do 7, so im thinking
>Measure Theory and Integration
>Group Theory
>Rings and Fields
>Topology
>Category Theory
>Functional Analysis 1&2
>Group Theory
To know abelian groups;
>Rings and Fields
To know the cohomology rings, and to construct modules;
>Topology
To motivate cohomology, to use in geometry and the ring spectra;
>Category Theory
All the things you mentioned use at least functors and other stuff borrowed from category theory.
I don't think measure theory is too helpful, but I don't know algebraic geometry, and functional analysis is probably not required either, but you should take at least that measure theory.
>>8541117
Woop-woop! That's the sound of da /pol/ice!
Linear algebra is a req for most of those, so unless it's super advanced linear algebra and you've taken LA before, then that one
What kind of research would be so radical, the government would have to hide it?

Let's be real, does anyone NOT believe in gravity?
Since the earth is flat, it doesn't make any sense for a force to push on us because then the earth would get pushed down too by gravity
>>8531706
i like to believe and imagine universe(s) without gravity exist
that pic made me cringe hard
