Basically this.

Archimedes' Principle, for dummies:
>Shit lands in water
>Some water is displaced
>Water tries to go back
>Applies force to push shit back
>The displaced water has the same volume as the shit.
>The force is equal to the weight of the displaced water.

So, basically, if the shit is denser than the water, the force is too weak to prevent the shit from sinking, and it sinks. On the other hand, if the shit is less dense than the water, it will be forced to move towards the surface of the water (in other words, it floats).

The density of the shit probably depends mostly on your diet and on how well it's been digested, but I'm not exactly an expert on fecal buoyancy. Intuitively, it makes sense to say that "gassy" shit (floofy/full of bubbles/whatever) would be less dense (and thus float well), though. It's essentially how boats work, after all.

>My understanding is that the pharmaceutical companies shoulder most of the actual legwork in drug research (with help from government funding).

This is largely accurate, for "pharmaceutical companies" encompasses a vast swath of firms. The process of developing a drug typically runs anywhere from 8 - 15 years, and costs over a billion dollars. Big pharmaceutical companies have the resources that smaller biotech start-ups and universities do not.

>How much research in drug development actually comes from the federal government itself?

Typically, basic research performed is performed at universities and medical schools, funded by the federal government. (This does not always apply, as there are established biotech conglomerates, Genentech most notably, that emphasize R&D.) In the context of drug development, basic research would, hypothetically, serve to identify the genetic and molecular bases of the diseased state, and subsequently "work out" the normal physiology of the biological system and/or biochemical pathways that are erred in disease. At this point, there may be a prominent "target" -- that is, a protein (usually) that is established to drive the disease.

Industry (biotech, big pharma, etc.) and academia can be involved in drug development. If the work is performed in academia, often the PIs will patent the lead compounds and/or platform technology, publish, and either license the technology to industry or spin-off a start-up to develop the therapeutic. This point is where the private sector funds the research.

I'll just leave this here.

The best thing for America to do is allow a free market in healthcare.

This is the only way we could have someone like elon musk create massive innovation in the healthcare industry.

Free the fucking market

I see. So the US government doesn't have its own 'in-house' labs? There's no NASA or DARPA of biomedical research?

Yes, both. Some anon complained that "Apparently /sci/ is allowed to be skeptical of global warming, but not something like smoking. Sounds like a double standard." Result: double deletion.

stewart isn't terrible, it is just denigrated because sci autists prefer that there were no difference between calculus and analysis courses.

>proficient
You may become good enough at Calculus, certainly not proficient at it, and much less proficient at math.

It's not a bad book. It's not the best one, either. But it's certainly the best for beginners. If you complement it with Schaum's outlines of Calculus, you'll be good.

how do you feel about possibly hindering discoveries someone else would've made that you wouldn't have made anyway?

>>8412237
I think my image sums up my feelings pretty nicely.

>>8412249
so you have no qualms with stunting scientific progress then? are you only in it for the money?

Newton invented calculus independently of Leibniz...Leibniz notation is superior, but it doesn't change the fact that Newton developed it as well


Hooke had no where near the mathematical talent of Newton to put it in reality

>>8411045
He was an alchemist as well, which is really funny considering today's cultist science thinks it's baloney

Read Knuths Art Of Computer Programming (nobody ever finishes) for the math and practice C++ and a scripting language regularly. Then make a github account and read a lot of code

Tbh,
You have to be proficient with Graph Theory and some Calculus, at least.
There'll come a point when its gonna be more than useful

>but WHY exactly can't you divide by zero?

Because you aren't technically dividing.

You can't divide by zero because humans didn't find any logic in that

Maybe dividing by zero would lead to an infinite result ?

What then is an electric charge

>>8432489
I would say it is the ratio between energy and space. If there is an equal amount of energy and space (red and green) there is no charge.
