Whats the point of doing science/engineering? Humanity spent 50 years reverse engineering universe, physics, EE, math just to make a microphone and then comes some idiot with IQ 90 that is adored by brainwashed idiots and signs 3 words that are then autotuned on some PC and he earns millions just by singing 3 words while people that engineered all the technology that carried him earned on average $45k a year.

And that's just one example. Why should a monkey that is famous earn more money than someone who is smart? There are people playing videogames for living and earn $2million a year ( and they arent even good at it, 55% winrate at best) while average salary for nanoscientist is $100k???

If I understood physics correct black absorbs more light and white reflects more light.

On that basis shouldn't black people be white, and white people be black?

If there's more sunlight in the southern hemisphere wouldn't it be logical to have white skin to decrease chance of overheating?
With the reverse being the case in the northern hemisphere.

Hey /sci/, lately I've been having an existential crisis at least twice a day for every day the last week, I can't focus the way i used to, I also had anhedonia i lost interest in a lot of stuff including math, before that when i did math it was enjoyable, now it's just irritating, i just can't do math anymore.
can someone tell how i can get back my interest in math again?? I started to feel like a brainlet and i can't stop wasting my time. help me /sci/

Hi, just wanted to ask a question about algebra and math in general.

I skipped through high school thanks to my dad paying for a private school that falsified the records up until the last year, where in a mix of depression, anxiety and family problems (Dad absent for work, Mother with Depression and my Grandma pulling strings on my mother’s depression, alchoolism and multiple suicide attempts to have me do shit for her every day, thus avoiding school) I lost three years of school.
This is not a justification and I am not proud of what happened. I never had the balls to stand up for anything and after 10 years I feel like I lost a gigantic amount of experiences, socially and mentally (I had my first GF at 24 after learning about PUA, now I’m 26).
My Math professor in the last year of high school, knowing my “Math” situation, said to me that I would never be able to learn high school math and I would have to spend years TRYING to learn.

From that point on, I cried for weeks and I gave up.

Let’s get to the point.
I wanna make up for that time and math comes into play because I wanna be a programmer. Not the best, not the brightest, just a decent programmer and I want that kind of future for me.

I have no basics, I can’t remember simple multiplications, can’t make simple divisions. When someone asks me a simple math question, I literally start sweating and my heart goes pounding.

How much time would it actually take to learn high school math, then discrete and then calculus? (the last two are not completely necessary, but I know that I would be a far better programmer if I’d learn calculus) Is there some source of learning you people trust that will allow me to study it?

Has any of you ever had any experience similar to mine? I should probably post this on Advice but I feel it belongs more here (and also that board constantly gives me problems)

Let [math]X \in \operatorname{Sch} /k[/math].

Show the functor [math]{\operatorname{Def} _X}:\operatorname{Art} \left( {\Lambda ,k} \right) \to \operatorname{Set} [/math] given by...

[math]{\operatorname{Def} _X}\left( A \right) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
X& \to &{{X_A}} \\
\downarrow &{Cartesian}&{\mathop \downarrow \limits_{flat} } \\
{\operatorname{Spec} k}& \to &{\operatorname{Spec} A}
\end{array}} \right\}/ \cong [/math]

is a deformation functor.

How do I get some fucking discipline? I'm a graduate student now but I've always just fucked about and miraculously it worked out. But now I'm just getting fucked up because I have difficulty applying myself. How to I teach myself to be disciplined instead of being a stumbling cunt?

what the fuck is this?
if you mathematical model produces results like this, why even bother using it?

>I hypothesize that only computable and decidable (in Godel's sense) structures exist

For instance, Maxwell's equations, discovered in 1862, successfully describe radio waves, later discovered in 1879.

So my question is: do we have any math that doesn't yet describe anything in the physical universe?

ITT we discuss whether Micro Hydro power generation is worthwhile and also just everything we know about microhydro in general (good books, etc.)

>nurse practitioners can prescribe drugs
>physician assistants can prescribe drugs

>pharmacists can't prescribe drugs despite knowing more about drugs than literally fucking everybody

Why?
