>Give me ONE good reason

What if I give you two bad and one mediocre reason?

>>8483157
If you're underage and haven't learned vectors yet.

>>8483157
Only reason I can think of is linear algebra. Ordinary multiplication is closer to dot product than cross product.

This proofs book because the instructor solution manual is available at libgen. The price can fluctuate a bit.

https://www.amazon.com/Mathematical-Proofs-Transition-Advanced-Mathematics/dp/0321390539

This would be used in a proofs course after the basic math classes. There are plenty of videos for each section on youtube. After this you are ready for analysis and algebra

>>8483100
Check the /sci/ wiki's mathematics section

grab an introductory book on analysis and read it as you do calculus

C(Center of Circle)P1:
cos theta1 * r = CP1
CP2:
cos theta 2 * (r + x) = CP2
Law of cosines:
P1P22 = CP12 + CP22 - 2*CP1*CP2*cos (theta 2- theta 1).

>>8482957
P1P2 = CP1 + CP2 - 2*CP1*CP2*cos (theta 2- theta 1).*

Okay so assuming that r is at the middle of the radius and you know the radius:
-go ahead with trig to get the vertical cathetes (rP1 and the other one for P2)
-find the area of the whole figure and the areas of the parallelogram and of that small triangle, subtract the 2 from the big area and you end up with the area of the upper triangle where P1P2 is
-now get this area via sine theorem
And you find OP2
-perpendicular from P1 to OP2 and you find where it lands (you can check that is the middle)
-good old Pythagoras to get P1P2 then
Might have skipped a few steps but this is the outline

study, pure thoughts and clean living :)

adderall, or just the pure bitter white

Have you ever watched the movie "crystal fairy and the magical cactus"? it was a small foreign production.

my point is that your edgy views on how "society shunning drugs for no reason" being irrational and bad, is so commonplace, and often even juvenile, that they made a character in a movie on roadtrips about it. You are an unoriginal, (lousy) provocateur and everybody either has had your views and then scrutinized them into a more balanced, nuanced worldview. Or they knew somebody with these views and saw them as extremely obnoxious but unwilling to talk to them about it (like Michael Cera's character in the movie I referred to).

In short all you did was shitposting and you didn't even get a (you) out of it.

If photons don't have momentum how come the light doesn't just fall down into a pile on the floor when you turn on a flashlight?

>>8482908
They do when you don't look at them (see: observer effect)

>>8482908
because velocity has a direction

This is getting retarded

think of the cardinality of both for finite sets.
Suppse |A| =n, |B|=m.
Is 2^n + 2^m = 2^(m+n)? Obviously not. Thus
P(A+B) tends to be a lot larger.
Showing that P(A) and P(B) is a subset of P(A+B) is pretty trivial

Take a healthy mix of ecology, genetics and statistics.

>>8482874
Thanks.
Anyone know how competitive the field is?
I would hate to get a degree in something I can't find a job in.

>>8482877
It's quite competitive, but there's a fair chance to get a position if you can do stats and mathematical modeling in ecology.

Here is another example.

>>8482835
I'm picturing OP losing his shit every time he sees a frog picture. Somehow I'm not surprised that this sort of behavior would be typical of a dumb frogposter.

Congrats OP, you are legit retarded.

No.

Arithmetic sums are second degree polynomials which are pieces of parabolas.

It's about 53 square feet. The picture isn't entirely accurate because I did some rounding, but I made it so you know I'm not pulling the number out of my ass

Are you sure these two points are level?

It doesn't square with OP's numbers, although that could be due to measurement errors.

Specifically this would make the legs on the little triangle 2.5 when from OP's diagram the hypotenuse, which should be longer, is 2.25. Which means either OP's measurements are not very accurate, or the points aren't level. Could be either, best to ask.

BUILD SOME PIPES AND MAKE THE ALIENS PAY FOR THEM.

>>8482353
That could trigger an ice age and we have enough triggering already.
