.9999999999....etc MINUS .0000000000000000[infinity 0s]1

>>8297453

How can there be a trailing 1 after infinite 0's?

>>8297448
Everything since the big bang perhaps

Not sure

If nobody cares about you, nobody will check, and you'll be a superposition of both dead and alive.

yes

correct, and?

where's the interesting content?

You fucking memers

Probably that mouse experiment where they shocked a mouse and exposed it to a stimulus then exposed the mouse's baby to the same stimulus and it froze up despite never having been shocked.

There are programming languages where there are no loops!! But you can still do whatever you want with them! Blew my mind.

Take differential equations.

what does "the best fit" mean? if you want a degree n polynomial fit, pick n points, and fit a polynomial with lagrange interpolation. you're probably going to overfit if you make n too high, but just try different values increasing n to make it more precise

>>8297327
what the fuck are you talking about

No.

We have a name for people like you -- A brainlet. Just let all the hard math to us smarter people.

>>8297144
nice meme

>>8297130
Pretty simple. You don't really like Math. Sure you may have fooled yourself into thinking that you sorta like math, but deep down inside you find it boring, so your brain just shuts off and you daze off into la-la-land.

You're never going to get good at anything if you don't have some interest.

You're never going to be great at anything if you don't love what you do.

This might be above your level but it's a good start if you want to learn real math.

>>8297092
Depends a bit on your age/level of knowledge.

I will always recommend vols 1 and 2 of this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Quantum-Mechanics-Vol-Wiley-Interscience-Publication/dp/047116433X/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1472160806&sr=1-3

It's by far the single best course on quantum mechanics you can read. Both volumes are mandatory reading.

you're going to get those kinds of people. Should've majored in finance or something

>>8297051

Funny thing is im considering finance, I already have a couple business credits from my first year. Is it too late ?

nice meme thread

it got everything: baseless insults, fedora picture, computer science. only thing that's missing is the word virgin

Please keep niggers off the board.

Anyway, what are you going to study? You might find the H.E.L.M books useful - they're all available online (I think legitimately even), and they will cover any mathematics you need for your first year. If you're doing engineering it'll probably cover your second year too. They're workbooks, with explanations, examples, problems and solutions. Do them in sequence. If you find H.E.L.M 1 easy, do it anyway, do the problems, build up speed and familiarity.

You only have to do it once, then you'll be fine for the rest of your life. Also, when I say they cover everything you need, I really mean it. You don't need a supplement to them, they'll even give you some basic physics.

>>8297083
Sorry about the niggers. Won't happen again.

And I'll be studying engineering too, which is why I'm freaking out about being so behind in math.
HELM is the Helping Engineers Learn Mathematics thing, right?

Planet X / Nibiru will hit us in November.

>>8296989
Awesome to think about and consider how the world would be if they were real. Which is why the X-Files was so great.

On the other hand, they're rarely, if ever correct, or even sane. The fact that their main perpetrators are the /x/ types doesn't help either.

This got me thinking, bump.

Yeah but it's so much more fun to try and figure it out

>He thinks first world universities are more than professors just writing down the equations that are in the books
College is a scam. Do some research and buy the books you need cheaply online.

>>8297541
Unless you're talking exclusively about math or compsci, books and professors aren't all that a good university offers. Well equipped labs that host ongoing research are a very important ingredient of a good college that exposes students to said research and gives them valuable experience.

>>8296702
Do you really think people here know advanced mathematics? Realize where you are. This board also has nothing to offer as anyone serious about discussing science would do so with his peers and teachers.

>>8296710
There's advanced Math posted here regularly.

>>8296711
No.
