I scraped by Linear Algebra this semester, and am pissed at myself. Over break want to read up on Linear Algebra.

Why haven't seafloor mountains eroded into nothing with the constant water on them?

>>8538000
Well, with depth in the water, the rate of erosion would decrease significantly because of lack of overall movement. Usually only the upper layers of the water are effected by currents and winds, while the lower layers aren't. Then you have precipitation and mass wasting events on the upper parts of the Islands which erodes Islands pretty rapidly in terms of geological time.

Mass wasting still occurs underwater with sea slumps and whatnot over time, you can see a lot of evidence of this in places like Hawaii and coastlines in general such as the west coast of NA.

So yes they are eroding slowly over time, just slower than the rates of erosion on the upper surfaces, which is why volcanic Islands after their volcanism ends simply erode away into coral atolls, in which the volcano has completely eroded away, leaving its fringe reefs behind which can keep up with the erosion / sea level rise due to limestone secretion and vertical movement upwards by the reefs.

The first law of thermodynamics. Erode just means to wash away. It's not disappearing faggot.

>be me
>recently published a paper solving an open problem in my field; could very well have real effects on society in the next 10 years
>name mentioned alongside the problem on Wikipedia now and everything

The goal is generally to do something of note, isn't it? This feels so empty. I'm going to continue to work on interesting problems, but this whole publication chasing bit is just not worth the effort.

Has anybody else on /sci/ been in this position?

I will maintain my anonymity while on 4chan, thanks. The point of this thread isn't to bolster my own recognition, but to prod at how other people have felt after having done something that should grant some sense of accomplishment.

For the record, this paper underwent major peer review both at my place of employment (a sizable institution very sensitive about its reputation) and during the submission process. I also presented this paper at a large, notable conference, and it was accepted well by all of the attendees. I have no doubt in the quality of my work.

Fucking economics is more scientific than CS.

That said, it should be taught, but as part of math rather than a science on its own.
It can replace calculus.

How can you be a third of an ethnicity? Do you have three parents? Like two italian parents, and one greek?

The denominator is always a multiple of two for a reason.

Time Continuum (Sci-fi Riddle).

In the time continuum, you can go forward, or backward in time!
If you go back in time, you change the future; and when going forward in time, you leave parts of the past unchanged (you're missing).
You speak to four characters on your way to the Time Continuum.
The first, second and third characters, do not tell you their names; but the fourth character, tells you it's name, 'Time 4', and after, you're in the Time Continuum.
Time 4 advises you, "change as little as possible".
Question:
How do you escape (or normalize) the Time Continuum, at this point?

I've been researching Pornography and whether or not NoFap is bullshit. It's full of anecdotal evidence. I looked up the author of "your brain on porn" (Gary Wilson)and there's nothing about it. All I got was that he was a science teacher.

Now on the other hand, this guy called David J Ley Ph.D. Who has a PHD says that porn isn't bad. And that it's "porn addiction" is just a symptom.

Obviously masturbation is healthy and there is science to prove that. But there doesn't seem to be any concrete evidence that Porn is bad.

Starting to think it's just like alcohol. Where it's bad for you but only impacts your life if you let it. And that abstaining from it would be best. The phd guy says thought that porn doesn't cause ED. But noporn dude says that it does. However, phd guy's books don't get good reviews while nofap does. That could probs be explained by their cult behaviour.

it doesn't affect your brain at a fundamental level per se, but it changes your response to chemicals that affect bonding in human relationships. basically it's not bad for YOU but it's bad for your future love life

What's the hardest part of Calc II and how can I make it easier for myself? I've heard two different opinions about Calc II:

1. It's the hardest course in the calculus series, because it moves fast and is so much shit thrown at you at once
2. It's incredibly easy because it's just knowing a bunch of integration techniques and recognizing which to apply when looking at an integral, of which it's IBP or trig subsititution 95% of the time

Which is correct?

Somewhat related question from a calc 1 fag

I'm up all night cramming for my final. Should I even bother studying weird shit like Simpson's Rule or Riemann sums? Is there any chance they'll actually turn up on the final or is it all gonna be calc fundamentals?

I have a good grasp of everything I 100% know is going to be on there but I'm not sure what to spend the time I have left on - practice more of the basics or try to learn some of the weird extra shit?
