The other day I was fooling arround with my Geiger counter and it started going tic tic tic tic, extremely high rad levels and the pointer was off the charts.

I started freaking out and no matter where I gone it wouldn't stop so I went to a hospital and told the doctor I what was going on, I was crying and afraid to die, turns out that the counter was simply broken and I was embarassed because I had wet my pants in front of a cute nurse.

Post your /sci/ related stories.

Or maybe you encountered a small radiation packet from an industrial metal waste and thats what the gieger counter caught and you will die shortly from aplastic anemia :^)

Nukeshill is trying to condition people into thinking that worrying about radiation is retarded. Ignore and hide the thread.

First you need to be born into a very rich family, as well as being born with natural talent. Next you get the best available tutors and have no expense spared toward you as you pursue your hobbies. At this point you should join one of the world's most prestigious schools aimed at fostering a new generation of elites. Internalize your motivations, and never stop trying to attain more knowledge

I'm a mathematician, but looking at a lot of important PDE's from mathematical physics I noticed that a lot of them (for example, Laplace, Poisson, Helmholtz, wave, diffusion, scalar potential, Klein-Gordon, Shrödinger) are linear equations.

Can someone give some physical reason as to why?
29 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
>>8322515
Because physicists are sexist and only study straight pole linear equations where feminine curved equations are ignored.
>>
>>8322515
because non-linear equations are hard.
Also cause variational principles
>>
Is it just because they are constructed as simplifications or there is a deeper reason?

are there any good sci-fi series out there, lately?
recently i got hooked on "the expanse" but hell, where did that genre go?
(appart from shitty productions with political correctness aka "we need at least a homosexual and a black on the cast and make the targeted audience 12-16)

any good recommendation and in case you didn't watch it: watch it. (it's even close to the books)

It won't return until 2017.

Nothing else much of note really.

The Strain is fairly okay, but different genre (horror with some medical sci-fi.) Everything has gone further and further into the pleb realm and sci-fi is really taking a backseat for the most part. 1 or 2 good shows or movies is basically nothing in a sea of piss. Even the remake of the Andromeda Strain wasn't good; fucking remakes man.

Try "Stranger Things", it is more fantasy with some sci-fi. It is good, but nothing sci-fi like the Expanse.

Hey guys, so I'm taking differential equations and I feel like such a dumbass cause I got stuck on this integral. How would I go about evaluating this? I know it's integration by parts but that thing just turns into a monster.

The integral of [math]1/f(x) = f(x)^{-1}[/math] is [math]0[/math].
>>
>>8322417
[math]\int\frac{1}{e^{2x}+4}dx=\frac{1}{4}\int\frac{1}{(\frac{e^x}{2})^2+1}dx[/math]

Which will be an arctan(u) integral...

I'm really talented for math but I find it extremelly boring and rather learn music or drawing or humanities.

I need some motivation to help me pick software engineering rather than literature.

10,000 hours.

>These books place a new emphasis on behavior and designing in deliberate practice to get to extraordinary performance. Ericsson (1990)1 says that it takes 10,000 hours (20 hours for 50 weeks a year for ten years = 10,000) of deliberate practice to become an expert in almost anything.

Keep in mind those hours only count when you're in fact being productive or operating with maximum efficiency. Sitting in you chair rocking back and forth while you struggle with a concept or procrastinate doesn't count.

What does /sci/ think of Malvika Joshi?

She's some 17yo poo-in-loo that got into MIT on a full scholarship, and she dropped out of school not even attending high school. The only thing she has to her name is 2 silvers and a bronze at the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI). She took graduate-level courses at the Chennai Mathematical Institute (CMI) though, so I assume she could've requested for an honorary bachelors if she wanted to.

This really made me think about home-schooling in general, and if it's actually viable as a method of teaching as she definitely knows more than the average 17yo.

with homeschooling you get a more personalized education and can advance further.
on the other hand you risk that your child will not be well adjusted in this world and you have to spend a lot of time and money to make sure your child has all the factors needed to grow up well adjusted and normal.
