Something people who think they're smart say to people who think they're dumb to make the people who think they're smart seem smart while making the people who think they're dumb seem dumb.

200

170/0.85=200

Now fuck off

>>9122128
Back in school we were taught to times 170 by 115%

I was the kind of nerdy kid who was always excited by math books as early as middle school but I never really had the brains to do real math at the university level, at least the way it's normally taught

>>9122091
>basically if you added numbers 1-13 you get what's equivalent to multiplying 7x7,

I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure 91 isn't equal to 49.

Homological algebra seemed very cool to me when I started learning it.

>>9122049
If this can be confirmed, it will be huge.

no shit your chemo therapy just fucking blasts of energy with more energy.

fucking look at the founder of chemotherapy

>>9122060
lol wtf should some one do then?

reduce their energy by meditating?

The universe, by its definition, contains everything that can exist.

- Let X be something that exists before the universe exists.
- Thus, X is not a part of the universe.
- This is a contradiction to the definition of universe.
- Thus, X does not exist.

Therefore nothing has existed "before" the universe. Consequently, the universe has always existed.

In other words, the shit like "big bang" and "a creator" are just bullshit that brainlets believe in.

>If one wanted to learn a language, not for the purposes of actually utilizing it in real life conversing with others, but for the solitary intellectual fields that would be unlocked by doing so as well as the unique points of view unlocked by the aphorisms and grammatical structure of the language, which one would be best to learn?
Math.

esperanzo cuz it everyting

>>9121993
I would recommend the language that's most different from your mother tongue.
I'm Hungarian native, studied English, Japanese, Russian and Basque. All different families, different logic, different writing system, different phonology.
If you only speak English, your best bet is Japanese or Russian, because they're both exotic and have plenty of study material and entertainment (novels, movies, etc).
German would make the least sense in your case, since it's very similar to English.
Good luck, it's a great journey and definitely worth it!

Here you go

>>9121958
Thanks, this sounds (and appears) exactly like what I saw. It was sort of a mystical-like surprise seeing them as the day got really dark.

Although, I should note that what I saw was not shadow bands moving in parallel, but in a massive jumble. It was more akin to slivers of silvery light moving among one another in a complete disorder.

Hypothesis and conjecture mean the same thing. The Riemann hypothesis is called a hypothesis because of historical reasons and because that sounds cooler than the Riemann conjecture.

A theory has been formally proven and is known to be 100% true.

For example, the Pythagorean therm has been formally proven and is known to apply to all right triangles. If the Pythagorean theorem had not been formally proven, all we'd have is a bunch of right triangles that all seem to follow the a^2 + b^2 = c^2. However, we might wonder if triangles that dont follow a^2 + b^2 = c^2 exist. In this case, a^2 + b^2 = c^2 would be known as the Pythagorean conjecture, or hypothesis. However, this is not the case. We have proven the Pythagorean theorem and we do know all right triangles follow a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

>>9121902
Hypothesis, however is more used in the context of scientific experiments, not mathematics, and more has the connotation of something meant to be tested.

What I'm trying to get to is that it is possible that the assumption that the RH may not even be true is possibly a mental barrier to proving it.

>>9121914
I dont think so. Certainly, the assumption that the RH may not be true is not a mental barrier to disproving it.
Assuming that the RH was true or false would be a grave mistake, one that would result in mistakes in other proofs.

I haven't worked this one in such detail, but observing that

[math] \displaystyle \| L (u, v) \| ^ 2 = \sum_{n \ge 25} u ^ 2_ {2n} v ^ 2_ {2n +1} / n ^ 2 \le C\|(u_n/\sqrt n)\|_4^2 \|(v_n/\sqrt n)\|_4^2 \le C\|(u_n/\sqrt n)\|_2^2 \|(v_n/\sqrt n)\|_2^2 = C \left (\sum u ^ 2_ {n} / n \right) \left (\sum v ^ 2_ {n} / n \right) [/math]

one can easily find at leat one closed-form solution applying the bubble integral. In the equation, [math] \displaystyle L [/math] is a bilinear operator.

6. Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture

The problem with former attempts has been in the way elliptic curves have been dealt with. But this really admits a proof with a computer by checking the (finitely many) categories of curves.

I also have a simpler than Perelman's proof of the Poincare conjecture, but it's not worth the prize anymore

will you be donating any of the reward money to charity?

My father doubts the big bang because he doesn't understand it, he really hates cosmology in general for whatever reason. Doesn't seem to have a problem with evolution oddly enough despite being super Catholic though. When I try to explain to him that the big bang isn't necessarily at odds with Catholic cosmology anyway and in a way reaffirms it he doesn't want to hear it.

>>9121823
My parents aren't anti scientific they just aren't scientists. My dad doesn't get epistemology and that can be a headache. As my dad is extremely intelligent and uneducated, I feel like he gets insecure when I talk down from the ivory tower. My mom and dad both know pretty much everything they know about science through raising me. I was a sperg kid that demanded to be read life encyclopedias instead of stories for bedtime, good for me my mom taught elementary school. I have always been a walking repository of facts because of my fondness for dry, analytical information. As a young adult I was a rightfully angsty life sciences kid. Often lecturing them about ecology and the state of things. They got to see me grow up loving biology and then the joy sucked out of my life with the rest of the living world. It seems they have suffered a lot of my emotional trauma with me. Overall they are very receptive to science but they do not get it like I do.

>>9121790
Good.

at least I have rick and morty to keep me satisfied with mind bending science based humour and outrageously intellectual script writing

at this point, I think it's a bot

the realm of mathematics is as infinite as the mind is able to create

shape never existed before humans, we made them, to define the world around us. as long as there are new things to define there will be use in math

t. real scientist on math

>>9121656
New problems lead to new methods.

I will admit it seems like most of the low-hanging fruits have been picked already. However, you cannot rule out the possibility until you have tried everything.

>>9121656
just wait for the proof of collatz and riemann hypothesis

also IUT overshadows differentiation / integration

What about the 50 shades of grey.
