anyone wanna type a psych paper for me in the next few hrs? $50 to whoever does it
already toook the two tests will send results to whoever needs them
500$ and I'll do it, when is it due?
in 5 hrs can i make payments? lol
What systematic sampling errors could possibly produce results that end up being this wrong, /sci/?

If probability exists, then doesn't 'luck' exist? A property one can't control, like how it's said fate cannot be controlled. There's probability of something happening--like drawing a certain colored marble from a bag of marbles, at random. But 'luck' is what drives what marble you get.
What matters is the 'universal intellect' and 'context' that factors into fate's path. If it is specifically a wager, fate will side with 'a single thing'. If something is 'up to luck', then it must be. The very thought fate exists is what drives things to happen. Coincidences /are/ driven by an outside force. Fate.
Is everything a gamble? After all, most of the time, new ideas, true, unthought of ideas, are thought up by 'luck'. Was it mere 'luck' that you came here and saw this post? Was it lucky that you saw it, or was it bad luck?
Is bad luck the lack of luck, or is it the existence of luck in another's favor, far outweighing one's own luck?
Discuss fate, the existence of luck, etc.
>>8464345
>If probability exists, then doesn't 'luck' exist?
No.
>But 'luck' is what drives what marble you get.
If it's truly random, then nothing drives what you get. You're just naming nothing "luck".
>>8464356
'Luck' is what chose what marble you'd pick.
Luck pushed you to not 'make the choice', but that the marble would end up with you.
>>8464366
>'Luck' is what chose what marble you'd pick.
Nothing chose what marble you'd pick, in the hypothetical situation in which marbles are chosen randomly. In real life there is a physical process which leads to a marble being chosen which appears random because of unknowns and chaotic processes. Again, you are just calling nothing "luck". You're saying anything meaningful.
What is the best way to tackle any vector calculus question?
With the extensive list of theorems (Green's, Stokes', etc.), and "shortcuts" (conservative ⟹ path independence, etc.), there must be a type of flow chart for tackling vector calculus problems.
Are there any general rules of thumb that I should be aware of throughout my semester? My lecturer has provided us with all the theorems and how to apply them, but they just seem so disconnected. With the final exam approaching, what should my thought process be during the exam?
Dude that notation sucks and green's is just stokes
>>8464200
Which notation?
I know Green's is just the 2D version of Stokes'.
But what I'm asking is if there's some sort of flowchart of list of steps to check when I see any VC problem.

Given enough free time, can someone with a degree in math/who studies Math teach themself other quantitative fields, such as physics or engineering?
Would you actually be able to get to grad level of that subject?
What would be the proper literature to do so?

Many mathematicians just casually get into other fields, start solving problems that have been avoiding solution for centuries like it was nothing, collect easy fields medals/honorary degrees and then go back to math.
Just look at Djikstra or Knuth. PhDs in math who one day slipped and when falling their heads hit a CS book that someone had left there, saw the title and immediately learned everything, then published algorithms and became famous, got books and honorary degrees and Knuth even got a comfy position at a top uni.
Or look at Cedric Villani. PhD in mathematics who one day was visiting a pre-school and saw a kid reading a book. He asked the kid 'Hey, what you reading boy?' and the 5 year old replied 'oh, just mechanics. Just some trivial stuff' and then Cedric immediately had dollar signs in his eyes. He casually walked into the field, started solving physics PDEs like it was nothing and then collected his EZ PZ fields medal.
It is literally that easy.

These are the Hartley Hooligans, 15 and 10 year old sisters with microcephaly, CP, dwarfism, epilepsy, and a billion more problems. Their mother, who chronicles the torture chamber that is their lives in minute detail, is famous for claiming that the girls fully comprhend nearly everything around them and are getting better by the day.
To those who actually know a thing or two about the human body: is this possible? Are they sentient at all or are they just pure vegetable?
1st, I dont know shit.
Having cleared the air, their experience is subjective. Unless they experience physical pain life to them is the same (likely) for you and I. Able to have good days, bad days, be shit on and do the shitting. They have no other frame of reference to define their torture chamber except for the same "wow i wish I had that" that you experience when youre witnessing the grandiose outside world on tv/pc (fapping). So i think they are likely just fine, and wont get the hot guy on tv, like you only drill bree olsons asshole from your computer chair.
The question is are the conscious of the world or not? Is it even possible for humans with the litany of issues they have?
Consciense at what level? I dont think they understand enough to know how fucked they are (hopefylly)

Hey /sci/
I have my exams in roughly 10 weeks and I basically didn't do anything all the time.
I made a strict plan for the next 10 weeks to master my exams as efficiently as possible.
The next 3 weeks starting now I'm going to devote to learning the basics of maths from all high school to uni (including first year).
During my high school time and even now I was pretty retarded regarding maths, I didn't catch the drift from the beginning and just let it slide. I still easily passed by compensating with other subjects so I never had to learn, so I could play vidya all day long (big mistake).
Anyway now I'm in trouble because compensating is much harder and I need maths anyways in my life to succeed in a /sci/ subject.
Can you guys recommend me any comprehensible, compact and retard-proof booklets/scripts (including easy-middle-hard excercises with solutions) to learn basic maths rules up to pic related?
Do you think it's feasible or should I rather concentrate on the other subjects to compensate (I'd really like to understand maths finally though).
Already browsed sticky also learning some basics with khanacademy.com but it's quite slow with videos.
Happy for any help.
tl;dr

limits are silly, all you're doing is guessing that a value is being approached given some arbitrary starting point. how can calculus be taken seriously like this? you think it's approaching h such that h is a value that's near x since you're basically just trying to cancel x with itself but don't want to get a division by zero situation. what a joke.
>>8460573
It works. And if you don't think it works, have fun in mathematics without calculus.
>>8460588
everyone for over a thousand years managed to use math just fine without asspulling "hurr look we're ALMOST here somewhere, ergo we are."
it's so ironic to hear people praise calculus for making a rigorous model that generalizes all the dozens of parlor trick methods for finding the volumes of saddle shapes or the acceleration of an object, yet it relies on the idea of "approaching" a value. at least with methods of exhaustion you know what values you approach but with this it's just a guess.
>>8460593
>we're ALMOST here somewhere, ergo we are
it doesn't say that though. the function could have a hole at x, yet the limit as h approaches x can still exist.

Because he has to solve it in real time in front of an entire class. Doing math in front of a group of people on the spot is choke city.
