Logarithms I bet.
Because log(3n + 1) = log(3) + log(n + 1/3).
And also log(n/2) = log(n) - log(1/2)
Therefore, logarithms.

>>8184004
how the fuck does this have anything to do with anything. you're just listing normal logarithm properties as if they have any relation.

>>8183849
just means that you'll get down to 1 eventually.

my instinct is to throw signals that don't make sense into a spectrum analyzer.

What exactly is a fourier transform mathematically? is it possible to do an FFT of this data?

What's making them bigger? Isn't their bones getting larger, thus they wouldn't be small in proportion to the person.

>>8183835
Ordinary human growth. We can't make a skyscraper the height of a space elevator out of steel and concrete because the length would exceed the specific strength of the beams. The same logic holds true for a skeleton on a giant person.

I think the limit of the heart to pump blood to the brain would be reached before the limits of bones and cartilage.

Really, really, really applied mathematics that happens to be useful for a device called a computer.

it's about computers

>>8183823

computer science is to computers what astronomy is to telescopes

the computer is just a tool to experiment with and observe computation.

think that over for a while

uhuh becuz people that don't know how it's made and works will know what can go wrong with it

Gender dysphoria is a mental illness. Hope they will finda a cure soon.

Hormones will fuck with you. Just use condoms FFS. I doubt she will get to the point of being truly transexual, but if she is not liking the effects, get her off of it.

To completely predict the effects hormone treatments will have is almost impossible, not even counting the placebo effects. All we have are statistics and risk factors. Changes in sex drive are well known. The details of that change are unpredictable.

Google it you fucking mongoloid. You're just asking for definitions.

Nothing is the absence of everything
zero is the absence of some quantity

>>8183352
Then if you're talking about the quantity of everything, then zero and nothing mean the same thing, which is particularly PROBLEMATIC since depending on the perspective, something may be everything.
For example, you are everything for me, despite you just being someone.

lul some dudes decided to see if the heat equation modeled stocks and they got a nobel prize for it

>>8182992
Have you ever seen the one-page proof of the existence of Nash Equilibria by the Kakutani fixed point theorem? It's as easy to get the economics prize if you're a mathematician as it is to get the peace prize if you're a politician.

I would wager their technology would be very different from our kind of technology and it would involve a lot of chemical manipulation....maybe they would use chemical reactions, store it somewhere around their body and use the ink to blast off heat

>>8182827
They'd develop spooky technology

The most simple of tools are the wedge, the lever, and inclined plane. Proto-civilizations typically start with the lever fist simply because a lever can be as simple as a tree branch and they're plentiful. Even monkeys use sticks as tools or weapons to protect themselves. In the ocean, not so many trees. I just don't see it happening with the resources they have to craft tools with.

I thought I couldn't live without it. I was wrong

I don't really remember much.

I didn't write in my proof why one term could divide another and lost 15 points on my test.

If it wasn't for omitting that line, I would have had a 98

>>8181993
Your teacher sounds like a Jew.

One time while integrating using trig substitution in a test, I put that 3(3/3) was 1/3, the whole exercise was good except for the 1/3, luckily I only lost 5 points

I'm wondering if we will see the collapse of Dentistry as a separate profession in our lifetimes. Dental schools are becoming more and more expensive to run, becoming more and more reduntant with medical schools as they realize that teeth are part of the body, and the need for dentists is declining in the developed world.

I predict that within our lifetimes we will see future dentists get an MD and then train in residency to do the dental surgeries that are currently taught in dental school.

This would be a cheaper alternative for patients and doctors. It would also reduce the volume of dentists being trained every year to match the decline in need for dentists.

Thoughts?

This is totally wrong. I'm not in dental school, starting medical school, but a lot of people in my family in dentistry.

Dental demand is expected to grow like 20% or something, which is good.

Dental schools are more expensive, but you can make more money as a general dentist than a family doctor. The hours are better, and less training.

Everyone needs a dentist now and they will for a long time. A lot of peoples teeth are shit, you have no idea.

>>8181965
Well its expected to grow with the aging boomers. They all have silver fillings that need replaced. but after the boomers are gone? The population itself will drop AND most of these younger generations grew up with flourdiated water, which means their teeth are much more resistant to caries.

Infinity + 1 you donut

Infinity just continues.

Look into cardinality. It is known.

How much statistics have you done? Time series analysis, regression analysis, and probability theory are all very intense mathematical fields that fall under the umbrella of "statistics". You get a lot of stuff in these fields like measure theory, functional analysis, linear algebra, numerical analysis, and analysis in general. Basic statistics sucks but I've grown an appreciation for statistics.

With that in mind, there're fields like machine learning and image processing, both of which use heavy amounts of time series analysis which actually boils down to linear algebra and analysis. Not even the mundane stuff like doing matrix computations but like thinking about transformations, finding bounds, working in with Fourier transformations etc.

>>8181402
I'm doing a research project in image processing. As an additional example, the whitening transform is used to suppress periodic noise within an image in the frequency domain (Fourier domain). Creating the transform actually boils down to taking a symmetric matrix, diagonalizing it, and solving it so that the covariance of the matrix becomes independent (I don't remember the details as it wasn't useful to me at the time). When you implement the method in Matlab or whatever, it involves finding the eigenvalues of the matrix describing the image and dividing by the mean or something like that. I think you should give statistics a better chance.

>>8181402
I know probability theory and statistics as seperate fields, probably because I havent gone deep enough into them. I know they are both derived from measure theory so it makes sense. Ive heard that functional analysis is basically an extension of linear algebra to infinte dimensional spaces, but past that I dont know much about it. It did sound interesting and I may take a course in it before I finish up, granted that I find the space in my curriculum. Most I know is basic statistics like hypothesis testing and linear regression.

It was my understanding machine learning would fall under either computer science or artificial intelligence, but its not a masters in its own right. Was I mistaken? I have read something about it before, but it may be too specific for my liking. Im really fumbling in the dark about what I want to be doing for the rest of my life.

>>8181416
Sounds very computationally heavy. Is that correct? It does show a side of statistics I hadnt seen before.
