Is this a computer program or are you talking about water vapor?

>>8340874
Not op but prob vapor

>>8340874
Water vapor

Is your job important? Or will it become superfluous once you finish your education?

Grow up, you sound like a little girl. Go ahead and take drugs and become a little whore princess for daddy.

Yes goyim buy our drugs to earn me.. er.. you more money heheheheheheheheheh

serious question: what the fuck is human level ai

>>8340698
We want to make our computers dumber so that our computers also need to invent computers so that they can do simple calculations like the prime factorization of 348398293982.

But obviously, we want our computers to also take 100 thousand years to build their computer-computers.

Or at least that is what I think. That is literally human level intelligence.

In other words: OP is retarded.

>>8340710
That post made no sense. Gtfo.

Go to Wikipedia and search game theory. There's a tab filled specifically with game theory applications.

I don't have to write my senior thesis this year but given that I like algebra I've been thinking about doing my thesis on that topic.

Has anyone here ever done a senior thesis (or I guess a minor publication as a PhD or PhD student works too) in group theory? In what did you apply it? How much group theory did you know before you were able to get your results?

Math major here so I don't really need to apply it to physics or chem, can basically do it about whatever I want because all that matters is the math itself.

>>8340893
Bump.

No group theory experts here? What could an undergrad do with it?

List, please, good (Real) Analysis multivolume series with ~1500 pages or more. I begin:
1) Zorich's Analysis (I & II volumes)
2) Amman/Escher's Analysis (I - III volumes)
3) Knapp's Basic Real Analysis and Advanced Real Analysis.
...

Need a good multi variable/vector calculus text book.

Books I found good-
Gen. Chem: Zumdahl&Zumdahl
Linear Algebra: Lay (Linear Algebra and its Applications)

>until you reach graduate level material.
Do they ever go into abstract math? I'd think the more mathematical parts of later engineering are the numeric and algorithmic things, which is going into the opposite of abstraction (different differentiation schemes are something hands on, whereas e.g. defining paracompact topologies is an act of abstracting from some property of the reals.)

My ee professor does research into fractional order differentiation and some kind of work on infinite matrices that i dont know much about and another guy here who ran the ME department worked on new solutions to some type of inverse matricee he had to have to finish his thesis back in the 70s. That kind of stuff seems pretty in depth to me but im no mathematician.

>>8340525
Yeah, for dealing with fractional differential operators you need to set up function and functional spaces that can be equipped with good topologies (i.e. "how can I steal as many theorems from C^1 and C^2, what do I need for that in this autistic case I'm considering") and the second most likely also deals with odd norms.

Seems about right.

>>8340450
>>8340452

So does it cover basically everything at undergrad?

P.s. I will eventually learn mathematics in my own time, to a higher level, including theory.

What are you asking for, someone to tell you about the future? The early years from 2012 - 2016 seem to more or less fit.
I cannot see Space tourism to become anything more than "travel to ISS, see that earth indeed is round!!!"
Procedural storytelling seems a bit vague to me, as well as how exactly it impacts us outside of entertainment.
Very generally speaking, some things like Weather engineering, domestic robots, interplanetary internet etc. will probably just fade in very slowly and I would give more conservative estimates for when we are really there that they become that viral.
Then again, I am not optimistic enough to believe that no war or structural crisis will put a dent into progress.

We already have solar sails so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

>>8340398
pointlessly ill defined question. try again. (or dont. please, unless you can think of something more thoughtful to discuss)

>>8340405
Incorrect.

>>8340398
Everything would be 50% larger. And we would have evolved to be 50% shorter. Also due to 1.5x gravity it would be much harder to achieve orbit. Lastly OP would be 1.5x more of a faggot, reaching levels of faggotry science never thought possible.

No. If you bench 80 kg, you can't compete in strength sports with people who bench 200 kg. Similarly a 125 IQ brainlet has nothing on 140+ IQ guys when it comes to intelligence-demanding tasks.

Feynman's IQ was tested at a very young age, and thus his adult IQ was probably a lot higher.

Wasn't the iq test Feynman scored 125 on scaled where 125 was the max score?

>>8340339

Incorrect.

>>8340345

No.

Numbers don't lie.

People do.

Thats bad. You can't shape or control objective reality of the nature, but the rules of socio-politics you can >:)

Integral calculus

>>8340113
Look up the 5 kinematic equations and look for v_f = v_i + a*t

>>8340113
I think you need calculus to solve this, or it makes it much easier, since acceleration varies with time. You can't use your regular kinematic equations since those assume constant acceleration.

What you need to know is that acceleration is the derivative of velocity, so all you need to do is find the equation of the curve in your pic, then integrate from 0 to 3. A more simple way is to know that an integral gives you the area under the curve, so all you need to do is find the area under the red line. Hint: It's a trapezoid.

Might want to get your eyes checked.

Is that the same guy who "solved" the riemann hypothesis
