Titles and authors?
>tfw uninterested in math but too smart for other STEM subjects
Anyone else know that feel?
math is for smart ppl tho
explain shanghai

No way brainlet
Self studier here. I was trying to understand the epsilon-delta definition of the limit and tried to test my understanding by trying to prove that the limit of x^2+1 when x->5 is 26.
Proof:
Let e>0
Suppose abs(x^2+1-26)<e
=abs(x^2-25)<e
=abs((x+5)(x-5))<e
=abs(x+5)*abs(x-5)<e
Then if abs(x-5)<d
=abs(x-5)*abs(x+5)<d*abs(x+5)
=> d*abs(x+5)>e
=d>e/abs(x+5)
QED
Is this right?
>>8378172
x^2+1
let x= 5+d
(5+d)^2+1 = 26+10d+d^2
for 10d+d^2 < e
let d = min{1, e}/11
>>8378184
I don't understand why you let d=min(1,e)/11
Here's a new proof based on your insight I wrote which I think is right
Proof:
Let e>0
Suppose x = 5+d for some d>0
Suppose abs(x^2+1-26)<e
then, abs((5+d)^2-25)<e
=abs(d^2+10d+25-25)<e
=abs(d^2+10d)<e
Note
abs(d^2+10d)>=abs(d^2)-abs(10d)
Since d>0
=> abs(d^2)-abs(10d)=d^2-10d
then
d^2-10d<e
=>(d-5)^2<e+25
=d-5<sqrt(e+25)
=d<sqrt(e+25)+5

No, on the chance this thread isn't bait, what you assumed is what you're supposed to prove.

It's a week before the Nobel Prize laureates are going to be announced. Who else is hyped?
Prizes that actually matter:

nope
Nobels are just a popularity contest, and are no different than the academy awards
About to win the Nobel priz next week ama

what for?
Has anyone ever thought about cutting all the middle management bureaucratic crap and just brought some of the world's brightest and genius level intellects together, left them alone in a giant warehouse, and given $1 billion to solve some of the unsolved problems in science such as building a rocket engine that travels near light speed, portable fusion power, an energy efficient water desalination system, holographic touchscreen devices, an actual AI that doesn't easily get trolled by /pol/, and halted ageing?
Why has no one ever thought about this?
There are ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND TEN billionaires in this godforsaken world and NOT ONE has bothered to do something like this yet other than piss their money down the drain on charities and universities instead (like they ever get any real fucking research done)
>inb4 Elon Musk
No, fuck off.
>>8378003
Because no one is going to give up 1 billion dollars.
Also, having that money doesn't mean it will be used efficiently. Also, who is going to decide who will get that money?
>>8378003
It is because they all have vested interest in outdated or dying technologies, because they control them, they make money from them.
>>8378020
That is bullshit.
If there was even slight chance of new technology, everyone would jump on it. Because if they are the first one, they can make much more money than old products AND give themselves future.

How do I return to normal and function like a normie who can sleep 7.5 hours and work most of the day?
How fucked am I?

Ph.d in mathematics, finance or economics?
Which nets more $$$?
Wtf do you even do at a PhD level for all three?

Doesn't finance cover more things, including economy?

What about nuclear engineering? :(
Hey guys. Imagine you one day had total amnesia when it comes to anything starting from Algebra and above.
Let's imagine you can't go back to school for whatever reason.
What books would you recommend your future amnesia having self to self learn your basic algebra, geometry, calculus and trigonometry all over again?
ZORICH VA
MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS
honestly, I probably wouldn't bother learning it again, I am too old. I would just wander off and do something else.
>>8377885
The whole question is under the implication you had to and wanted to.
What do you think /sci/- whats going to be the absolute final humanity invention in the future? The most difficult thing that mankind ever create?
- Jump drive?
- Time-machine?
- Dyson sphere?
- AI?
- Parralel/Interdimensional-world travel machine?
>>8377792
Time machine would be the pinnacle.
>>8377846
Are you from the future, posting among us having a laugh while you change the future now? Whoa.
>>8377792
The ability to detect the formation of bubble universes and jump in them, thus ensuring that we survive the heat death of the cosmos.
I mean that's probably not gonna happen but yeah that would be pretty final.
>you will not fly to mars because the ticket price will start over a million bucks

>no banks on mars so they can't collect
>nothing left on earth to repossess
>the cost of retrieving me and jailing me on earth is more than what I owe
Yeah they sure got me.
>>8377571
>What are essential personnel?
Implying that counts for people who will be needed upon Mars for colonisation, such as: doctors, engineers; mechanics, et cetera.

Maybe if you majored in computer science you would have enough money.
Is "you must be autistic or severely socially handicapped to be a genius" a meme?
Pic unrelated
>>8377531
The re-wiring in high-functioning autistic spectrum disorders, like Asperger's, often lead to academic genius, but practical and social uselessness.
>>8377531
A genius would figure out how to be social by observing other people.
So you aren't autistic / a genius anon, don't worry.
>>8377552
Conflating different forms of intellect as one, that's your daily fallacy.
Has there ever been a serious scientific experiment, published in a mainstream journal, that attempted to disprove evolution?
Falsifiability is part of the scientific method, right? If there's never been any real effort to falsify evolution, then it's not a proper scientific theory.
>>8377374
>Falsifiability is part of the scientific method, right?
Yes.
>If there's never been any real effort to falsify evolution, then it's not a proper scientific theory.
No.
Why don't you make a paper disproving evolution then?
>>8377473
No?
You've just contradicted yourself. If falsifiability is part of the scientific method, then if nobody has tried to falsify evolution then it means the scientific method is not being observed.
Going around looking for proof that your theory is right, and ignoring any evidence to the contrary, is what they do on the show Ancient Aliens.
From a non-Platonic point of view, which of the Peano axioms is the most problematic?

I know this is too heavy for 4chan users but I am still gonna ask that
Does anyone of you have HOBBY of reading scientific papers randomly from various fields and researching and gaining expertise in that field or if not just their own field but different topics?
Or are u all retarded shit poster?
"Or are u all retarded shit poster?" Maybe try to get "expertise" in basic English.
>>8377351
I knew you would post.
Reading random publications from other fields is quite possibly the worst way to learn about it if you don't already have training in them.
use musk for memes?
(i actually put some effort into it)
