>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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

>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.
