>0th dimension: apoint
>1st dimension: a line
>2nd dimension: a plane
>3rd dimension: a space
nth dimension: a space of nth dimensions (n>3)
So what the hell are negative dimensions? Non integer dimension? Complex dimensions?
what is the ith dimension? One where God exist?

Never heard of these.
> Complex dimensions?
[math]\mathbb{C} \cong {\mathbb{R}^2}[/math] so n-complex dimensions is equivalent to 2n-real dimensions.

You can extend our logic to define -1 dimensions.
When working in the usual dimensions, if you reduce the dimension of your space that just means it takes less information to define a point.
In 3 dimensions you might be on (0,9,2). In 2 dimensions you might be on (0.9). In 1 dimension you might be in (0). In 0 dimensions there is only a point so you are that point.
If you consider these spaces sets then the 0 dimension would be a unitary set and it follows that a -1 dimensional space is simply the empty set.

I don't understand why you people rely so much on textbooks.
If there is a textbook about it, it's probably too easy anyway.

Have you ever heard of the double slit experiment, where they fire atoms at a photo sensitive wall, and they behave differently as if grains of sand or waves, depending on if there's a fucking camera that's on, observing them?

Yes, I've heard of it but unfortunately it does not interest me. The lowly physicist can provide an adequate explanation, but the phenomena will never be as perplexing as the intricacies of pure mathematics.
>>
>>8177082
Yes, I heard of that.
>>
> depending theres a camera
It's a measurement device that actually interferes with the process retard, not just a camera.
Next time read the fucking paper rather than just the title of it.

Hey sci, listen I need someone to help me solve this shit, I'm struggling with picrealated concept and this specific exercise is killing me, how do I calculate the resulting Net force?
problem says " the car Z pulls the mass m=900 kg on a 45° plane. acceleration is constant and 1.2 m/s^2 calculate the force in the cord S (answer is 4952 N)
so I know that with taht config the net force of the block is 2S but during the free body diagram I fail to see how shit piles up. I have exam soon, help a broda

or if you could just tell me where is ti appropriate to ask this shit, I can't do it by myself
>>
>>8176893
Worksafe requests would have been appropriate, but whatever.
Three components: friction between the block and the slope, gravity acting on the block, and acceleration of the block. Any questions on how to figure those out? Or is the problem with vector addition?
>>
sorry, but yeah I made those but vector addition doesn't do the job, pic related with my solutions.

Depends on the gender. Only the female body is disgusting, due to its slimy bleeding holes and its stinking hormone loaded sweat. The male body on the other hand can reach the pinnacle of aesthetics. Pic related.

By the way, I've uploaded a couple Chess-related books on various aspects of the game. ~90 in total, roughly 900 megs.

If you want to start in with the ad homeniem I'm more than willing to point out that you paid money for that waifu domain.
I am a third year mathematics student whos always neglected physics. Frankly speaking, past the material my differential equations lecturer tried to force down our throats I dont know jackshit about physics. Is there a book (that includes exercises) that can teach me what I need to know in order to start looking into doing a physics minor?

I would actually skip this and look to pick up something more mathematically sophisticated, something more at your level. you might give classical mechanics by taylor a try, or maybe kleppner and kolenkow. Alternatively, if you have a solid knowledge of ODE, linear algebra, and know a little group theory, you might just start off with Arnold's "mathematical methods of classical mechanics" which provides a full overview of the subject from a rigorous perspective grounded in differential, and more specifically, symplectic geometry.
>>
>>8176489
I took a real analysis based ODE class and I am pretty comfortable with group theory. Should be alright. My only concern is that I would like a broad basis so I can pick and choose courses at my uni rather than learn about a specific subject now, would this book be suited for this?
>>8176469

Will snorting a small line of speed help me focus? I have so far never experimented with amphetamines, other than recreationally, and Ritalin or Adderall are too expensive to just try them out without a prescription.
Its fairly clean stuff as far as I can tell and I have noticed increased concentration when using it in certain settings reaching as far as tunnel vision.
Normally I have a hard time keeping my focus up, like right now, when I should be learning but instead am writing this post.
Anyone have experience with amphetamines that arent specifically designed to improve focus?

I have experimented with many drugs in the past. My advice dont do it.
It wont give you anything good.
Stick to coffee.

But arent diseases like ADHD treated with amphetamins?
The inability to focus for more than ten minutes is as far as I know a symptom of ADHD, so even if I dont have that specific disease (which I dont think I have), I should be able to treat the same symptoms with the same substance, right?
>>
speed as in street amphetamine or worse yet, methamphetamine? no, methamphetamine is far too euphoric and who knows what adulterants are in it.
snorting speed also hurts like a bitch and fucks up your nose, btw
>so even if I dont have ADHD (which I dont think I have), I should be able to treat the same symptoms with the same substance, right?
no
brain doesn't work like that, adhd is a neurological disorder
trust me, as someone who actually has ADHD, stimulants and amphetamines do not affect ADHD and neurotypical people in the same way.
most normal people would get incredibly spun out if they took 25mg of adderall a day, but that's pretty normal for someone with ADHD

Recently realized that the only good candidate for a date marked in mm/dd/yy form to resemble the digits of e would be on the 7th of February in 2018 (2/7/18). So since that'll be the most logical day to celebrate this constant, how would one go about celebrating e day in a pi day sort of fashion? Only eating foods that start with e? Opening a Roth IRA?
