C'mon anon. They were different types of smart and were motivated to pursue different aspects of study. Where Witty delved into understanding pure thought, Neumann sought solutions to applied physical problems.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH ENGINEERING THERMODYNAMICS. IS THS A FUCKING JOKE A 1000 PAGE TEXTBOOK WITH LITERALLY NO CONTENT, IM SO FUCKING PISSED RIGHT NOW!!! AN ENTIRE FUCKING PAGE DEVOTED TO ENTROPY IN THE WORKPLACE AND INTERPERSONAL CONFLICTS?? WTF HOW CAN I TAKE THIS BOOK SERIOUSLY REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I CAN'T STAND THIS SHIT WHY DON'T WE JUST LEARN STATISTICAL PHYSICS WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT ALL THESE REAL WORLD PROCESS DIAGRAMS WHERE IS THE MATHEMATICAL BEAUTY? FUCKING HELL ENGINEERING IS A FUCKING MEME FUCK THIS SHIT!!!!

Are you retarded?
You seriously went into this engineering shit without expecting to have to learn a bunch of useless technical details that will be obsolete in several years instead of the theory that will last until the end of man's days?
Nobody realizes this, but this is the reason pure math is Master Race. Not even the knowledge of physicists endures as long as the knowledge of mathematicians. Mathematics is eternal; engineering, natural science, and all this practical shit is merely temporary.

>>8376258
I figured this out but its too late, i'm a senior graduating with a mechanical engineering degree that I know is worthless for the kind of work that I want to be doing. As soon as I graduate I'm going to try hard to unlearn this messy shit and work my way through some first class textbooks, like hoffman and kunze linear algebra, landau lifshitz mechanics, and statistical physics, and gelfands the calculus of variations. I don't care how long it will take but I will not die scientifically illiterate with nothing but a meme degree under my belt.
Terence Tao is on track to solve the Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness problem before the end of the year. What have you accomplished this year?

How do you guys deal with the fact that there have been so many gifted people to have existed that we will never be able to compare to? Hell even on this board I feel severely overshadowed by most of you guys.
How do you deal with your mediocrity?

okay so clearly this is in base seven. therefore red flowers are 20, blue flowers are 3.5, and yellow flowers are .25. Therefore the last line is 20x3.5=100, +.25 so 100.25
>>
>>8377922
101 or 102 depending on interpretation
>>
>>8377922
It's trivial to see that these are cosets in [math]\mathbb{Z}/70\mathbb{Z}[/math]. Ergo the red flower equals 20, the blue flower equals five and the yellow equals 1. So the last line becomes 20x5+1=21.

complex numbers basically correspond to rotating and scaling in two dimensions. there now it's physical enough, you can rest easy.

Dr Zhang told the New Scientist that, as the technique has not been approved in the US, the team went to Mexico where “there are no rules”.
“To save lives is the ethical thing to do,” he added.
The world’s first child created using a controversial “three-parent” baby technique has been born in Mexico, it has been announced.
According to critics, the procedure is tantamount to genetic modification of humans or even “playing God”. But supporters say it allows women with a particular type of genetic disease to have healthy children who are related to them.
The child’s mother has Leigh syndrome, a fatal disorder that affects the developing nervous system and would have been passed on in her mitochondrial DNA.
Although she is healthy, two of her children have died as a result of inheriting the disease: a girl who lived until she was six and an eight-month-old baby.

Not dead
It would die slowly and be expensive for everyone in society and on healthcare facilities.
IT would basically sit in a hospital for 6 months to 6 years, dying.
Because that is "ethical".

Probably not. Eventually we'll have to accept that the universe doesn't afford infinite precision, and has no truly continuous features. It is all quantized.
It's physically impossible to represent a number of infinite precision. It cannot be done.
