Suppose you were tasked with allocating $100bn to scientific research projects (either existing or new projects). You can allocate as much or as little to each project as you want, but you must allocate all of the money. All of the projects must be genuine research efforts - no joke projects like building a cannon to shoot badgers into space or anything like that.

Which projects would you choose to allocate funds to, how much would each of those projects get, and why?

50 billion to prototyping O'Neil cylinder style colonies

30 billion split 3 ways towards basic research in physics, chemistry, and biology, with an allocation committee made up of respected scientists in each field.

20 billion to be allocated equally between fighting climate change and researching ways to convince people it is a real threat that must be acted on.

It's because CS is both interesting from a philosophical point of view and extremely useful and practical and often lucrative.

/sci/ only wants to talk about useless branches of abstract math and science that produce nonsensical or ambiguous results. [math]- \frac{1}{12}[/math], divide by zero, 0.999... etc.

I don't think it's comp sci itself, it's because ppl feel like comp sci turns people into shills, although comp sci has plenty of theoretically interesting stuff

This, as you would see if you knew romanian, is an exercise given at the math olympiad over here. As I am a really dumb student i can't figure out thos shitlove for the life of me. I am supposed to find out the limit of it and i was just wondering if any of you high gods of math have any idea. I know it is easy, it's for 11th grade, but looking back at it i realize i haven't really paid much attention back then. I praise thee high gods to glance over your loyal servant and cast your precious knowledge upon him.

GUYS I GOT IT

The universe is a just the big bang particle going through wave cycles. When we hit heat death, the wave function flattens, then the universe begins to head back towards a particle (the big crunch). Not really sure what happens for the second part, but it's a cycle.

So the universe is really just a particle this whole time just pretending to be in a bunch of other places, until some god-like being looks at us and then we have to assume a position or something I think.

OH SHIT IT GET'S WORSE

What if it's not gods that have to look at the particle-universe for it to collapse its superposition, but actually just one of us. So like in a double slit experiment, if an idiot looks at the reflection pattern, the electrons would hypothetically still behave as a wave since the idiot doesn't know anything. Basically, once we figure out how and why the universe is supposed to work, it assumes a superposition, and we all die and the universe ends?

Literally for what fucking purpose?

The ONLY time I've ever heard anyone talk about this obscure integral, is in the context of stochastic integration. Every fucking book I read on stochastic integration touches upon the Riemann-Stieltjes integral, highlights why it is useless in the context of probability, then moves on to the Itô integral.

Why would anyone ever use this thing?

>to_what_import.bmp
you could at least give the definition. afair it's the integral rudin uses in his book

also from what I remember
>riemann integral
sum up rectangles under graph.
chop up domain (blue)

>lebesgue integral
same thing, but chop up codomain (red)

where does the riemann-stieltjes integral fit in between these two?
>>
>>8470623
Well to give you a tl;dr of the definition:

You have two functions [math]f [/math] and [math] \alpha [/math] from [math] \mathbb{R} \supseteq D \to \mathbb{R} [/math], then the Riemann-Stieltjes integral is defined as

[eqn] \int_A f \mathrm{d} \alpha = \sum_{j = 0}^{n} f(t_j) (\alpha(x_{j+1}) - \alpha(x_j)) [/eqn]

With each [math] t_j \in [x_j, x_{j+1}] [/math]. This is under the condition that [math] \alpha [/math] is of "bounded variation", meaning:

[eqn] \sum_{j = 0}^{n} (\alpha(x_{j+1}) - \alpha(x_j))^{2} < \infty [/eqn]

Whenever [math] \mathrm{mesh} \mathcal{P} \to 0[/math], with [math] \mathcal{P} [/math] the partition of the interval.

This shit is useful, Reiman version is a special case (pretty much). The reason you have seen it in stochastic calculus is because with it you can more or less introduce Ito integration without talking about measure theory.

>>8470623
Do you not have google? Either way it is the RIeman integral if you only have countable many discontinuities (defined in the obvious fashion).
