Lang is a terrible author

go read something else

Linear Algebra is bad but Undergraduate Algebra is good.
I've heard Algebra has a lot of typos.
I don't know about the other books.

What tripped you up?

>>8502879
i bet you are too old.

>>8502923
22 here. Been the same height since I was 14.

Made this thread not only for me but to get some objective science on this topic.

The only reliable non-biological determinant of height is childhood nutrition.

You're too old, OP.

>>8501533
I found it romantic until I actually did it.

Fuck that shit yo

Also it's not even a science, there are no hypotheses being tested and it's not curiosity driven

I hate seeing these pictures of homemade birthday cakes. I imagine the people on the other end of the pictures with these cakes.

Arctic ice is mostly gone. A bunch of coast cities around the world are submerged.

There's a small colony on Mars, and many outposts on the moons of the solar system.

Telescopes are insanely good and many earth - like planets have been found, but we can travel at 0.1c top and all of them are out of reach (this could be wrong if proxima b turns out to be inhabitable).

AGI runs the world. Humans are a small minority compared to how many conscious, intelligent artificial beings inhabit the world. Most humans are also different compared to today; aging and cancer are a thing of the past, and prosthetics and neural implants are the norm.

Religions are very popular, even more than today, with new cults being developed and prospering.

The average citizen spends 90% of his waking life in FIVR.

Some communities of "old style people" are still present around the world: just like mormons today, they use very limited technologies and AI.

Hopefully it won't.

Because of people who think ethics mean shit.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenic_petroleum_origin
?The weight of evidence currently shows that petroleum is derived from ancient biomass.[16] However, it still has to be established conclusively, which means that abiogenic alternative theories of petroleum formation cannot be dismissed.[17]

>A 2006 review article by Glasby presented arguments against the abiogenic origin of petroleum[clarification needed] on a number of counts.[1]

So basically all evidence so far suggests you're wrong but as long as there is a chance you're more willing to believe it's all part of a conspiracy against you than that you're wrong.

Sure, go ahead. Believe retarded shit. I'm not going to stop you. If anything it increases my ego knowing there are retards like you out there.

>>8507960

the wiki article is posted ironically, just to show that this is a 'debated topic' , but don't take wiki seriously since shills edit it to promote the shitlib spectrum of thought on all topics.

It should have the usual information as well, such as atomic weight

You won't be able to find one table unfortunately to suit all your needs, but I'm certain you can find a great many individual tables which will serve your needs admirably.

Its more efficient to take multivitamins and that's only if you're not getting enough fruits and vegetables

>>8507674
Vitamin c a shit

>>8507674
Vitamin supplements dont make you healthier, they correct deficiencies if you have them

You will probably piss out most of that vitamin C

Actually at any respectable place they use the same amount of calculus, in fact CE uses broader math.

They usually differ in their focus. More specialized classes and later specializations are more computer/programming/embedded systems related for CE.

Bumping for this. Sci .. I want to hear your opinions.

As the other person said CE is more computers/programming/embedded systems for later courses and EE has more power, EM, communications, etc.

At my university there are about 8 different specializations for EE undergrad. It is a very broad field and can lead to many different types of jobs.

For career prospects if you live in the US check bls. If you can't really decide I would choose EE as CE is just a subset of it.

It means you can convince people and understand arguments better.

It means that despite lacking the intelligence to perform such a simple function using a search engine is, you can somehow still succeed in life.

>>8507188
I suppose I do notice those tendencies. I love to debate and I'm thinking about applying to law school, but I might just stick with getting into the business field. Law school is just too damn expensive but with those abilities I am considering it so I could get a job that I could be skilled at

>but non-euclidean geometry makes no sense. it's built entirely upon the plane being a disk (hyperbolic), or an infinite sphere (elliptical).

>what is affine geometry
>what is projective geometry
>what is inversive geometry

>>8507709
that's just translations

>>8507175
Even straight lines curve in on themselves at infinity, if your measure of signed distance (displacement) is restricted to the one point compactification of the real line, instead of just the real line itself.

So think of non Euclidean geometry as what happens when your measure of displacement is based in a FINITE one point compactification of the reals. As in, one where infinity is a finite number, and any numbers beyond that are undefined because that's where it curves back around.

So yeah, a plane is still flat, it's just that flat has actually been infinitesimally curved all along, and now we're redefining the curvature of flat to not be infinitesimal.

literally anything else must be better than what they'd learn in public school, put them in and see if their grades/interest go up or not

>>8507179
A friend of mine recommended this to me in the first place. He said that ever since he signed his kids up to this their grades skyrocketed.

>>8507156
I know some other parents that do. They say it's basically just math worksheets. You can get similar stuff off the web easily. The only thing it seems Kumon adds to this is that it gives you an incentive to have your kid actually do the worksheets. If you are paying for it, you are more likely to follow through.

If you can download worksheets, make a schedule, and keep your kid up with that schedule, then you don't need Kumon.

curriculums across the average state school are more or less similar on average

there's no point in mentioning what school you went to when you speak about your calc ii class unless you went to MIT or chucklefuck community college in bumfuckville

>it's another CS shitpost thread

>>8507086
That's not true though. High ranked courses are just as dumbed down as low ranked courses. The real benefit to high ranked courses is that the level of exclusivity actually means that it's really valuable to network with the people attending there.

Woe be unto the fool who goes to a prestigious university and doesn't network.
