There are people on this board RIGHT NOW - and in fact there's plenty of them, not just one or two weirdos - who ACTUALLY and completely UNFACETIOUSLY went to vote. That's right. They went to vote.
I cannot for the life of me find an example of MORE BASIC MATH than
> one divided by SIXTY FUCKING MILLION is a statistically negligible number
This obvious fact is not a factor in all these people's reasoning.
How does that make you feel?

What is the point of studying pure maths or physics if your IQ isn't above 150? You will never make discoveries or become world renowned with your inferior IQ. Just do engineering or computer science and call it a day.

why is it in leibniz notation a second derivative is noted as
d^2y/dx^2
and not
d^2y/d^2x ?

Because d/dx is the operator. When you apply it twice you get what everyone uses.
>>
>>8465388
so it's squaring the operator, which i understand through d^2y, but how is it with respect to x^2? doesn't that imply your variable has to be second order?
>>
>>8465405
(d/dx)(d/dx)=d^2/(dx)^2
There you go.

Does anybody have a good collection of published research supporting/opposing global warming? And if supporting, proposed solutions. I really can't make a decision on this topic until I read more, but I don't know where to start.

Wikipedia. The consensus for solutions right now is damage control. Too late to stay within the normal climate cycle, but the degree of deviation can be minimized with immediate action.

dude, TRUMP won. Digest that for a bit. The guy who said global warming was a chinese hoax.
literally every last bit of fossil fuels will be burned and blown into the atmosphere. we are going for maximum damage and there is nothing anyone can do about it

Hi /sci/ if our universe is always expanding is there a centre point?
Also if its expanding will it eventually reach a point where it collapses on itself? Could it be possible that there was possibly another universe before us and the big bang was caused by the universe collapsing, not being able to expand any further?

No center point. Any finite amount of space is expanding. Infinite space is becoming less matter-dense.
Space is expanding beyond the escape velocity of the gravity of all matter in the universe, there will be no big crunch.
>>
>center point
No
>Collapse
No
>Cyclic Universe
No
The universe is infinite, now take time to understand what the word "infinite" means, and how it applies to this context.

Daily reminder that this man will extend our lifespans by 2036, and eventually lead humanity to eternal youth. Why have you not donated to the SENS foundation yet? Don't get fucked over by aging just because some memers tell you that "it's 100% natural we can't stop it".

>>
>>8464353
I agree. The author uses most terms wrong or terms that are dog whistles for the religious right. (metanarrative, evolution, social disease, moral relativity...) They seem to be chosen for their colloquial newspeak.
It is peppered with religious dogma from an evangelical Christian point of view, not theological arguments from all religion.
("propositional revelation from God", "building blocks for higher criticism of the Bible.")
Bullshit strawman, and "No true Scotsman" with false dichotomies, and 'making a beggaring of the question'. (separation of the sacred from the secular)
Delete this thread...
So this guy:
>Has a 5.0 GPA
>Scored a 2100 on the SAT
>Got accepted into every ivy league school
>Plays baseball
>Plays 3 instruments
What's your excuse now?

I recently finished James Stewart's Precalculus, I know I should move onto calculus but I'm not sure which book to use. I was wondering if any of you could give recommendations based of your experience with a certain book, thank you all in advance.

you could just stay the course and stick with stewart, but he's pretty unpopular here because his calculus text isn't an analysis text in disguise.
>>
>>8464263
I've heard plenty of people on this board say that Stewart's book is not good if you are studying math for math and nothing else, is this true or is it just a lie? Would it be best for me to use this as some sort of introduction to calculus the use another text that is more proof based than application based?
>>
>>8464276
I learned Calculus with Stewart's book. Is it good enough? Yes, sure. Are there better books? Definitely.
