It depends. What level are we talking about?

Why do you want to learn? Is it anything specific to your career or do you just look for general knowledge?

dude just go through the book you used for Calc I and throw in a random y and z

I'm going to stop you right fucking there.

>>8163310
Apologizes,

Then let met re write that part :

"Greetings fellow /sci/ browsers,
I'm a software engineer, but i'm interested in chemistry."

Is that better ?

I see where you're going with this OP. While I'm unable to help you, I'd like to wish you the best of luck.

by solving all the problems

>>8163305
Solving doesn't mean you have the right answers.

by getting all the right anwers then .-.

It's not a fucking golden rule, it's a guideline.

>>8163135
Differential equations and geometry.

...
Yup.

>>8163135
Multivariable calculus and linear algebra.

>>8163152
Diff eqs aren't that important. You only need to know that if everything is sufficiently well-behaved, then the equation has a unique solution.

You know. The sad thing is many textbook authors have actually said similarly retarded things.

>>8162952
I take it you're an engineer.

>>8162956
why is it retarded?

Go back to your containment board, retard. Nothing can be gained by educating you.

>>8162802
It can't be used for communication of information because the information is already effectively and transmitted when the systems interact before they are separated.

In some sense it's like taking two boxes, putting a red ball in one and a blue ball in the other, moving them apart, opening one to find a red ball and then knowing that the other one has the blue ball. You can't communicate with that.

>>8162672
Let's try this again- I'm working in a Mountain Met lab and I've been doing some visualization work on thermally driven flows. This is from the model work that my post-doc adviser was doing, feel free to ask me anything.

>>8162681
(just remembered that that graphic technically isn't my property, sorry. Still feel free to ask any questions, related to either the modeling technique or what I'm working on.)

It's a college thing.
Engineers are usually condescending fags that think their memorization and applied classes makes them more useful.

Physics thinks they know the answer to existence and everyone else are their tools. In reality they party a lot and get high.

Math students are autistic about their rigour.

>>8162632
People who do math usually don't care about physics or engineering applications. If anything, we'd prefer never to see these applications, because it ruins the purity of the subject, there will be interest in a problem because it's useful rather than because it's interesting. Pic related.

To make meaningful contributions to math you must have the right kind of autism. If you don't have it you'll never be great. Even if their work is unintelligible to pretty much anyone but other mathematicians and useless by basically any standard, it is important that anyone capable of advancing math do so, simply because most people are not intellectually equipped for it. Math is it's own reward, although nothing stops one from cashing in on poker or the stock market.

To make a meaningful contribution to physics you need to learn about as much math as a professional mathematician then work your ass off trying to figure out a way to use some of the higher math you learned to model the real world. The best physicists are world class mathematicians and may even need to create new math branches to solve problems posed by the complex nature of reality. Even if you are not great you can still become a meme scientist if you are charismatic enough. There is a great risk of wasting your life working in an hypothesis that simply doesn't correspond to reality.

An engineer doesn't need to be particularly good at math, just skilled enough to apply well known math to specific problems for which the general solutions are already known. The prefered math learning strategy for engineers is learn by doing - just overload your brain with math problems until you start seeing the patterns. Society will always need engineers as most people are too lazy to do their own mathematical thinking. Even a failed engineer studied far more math models for reality than the average person will ever get in contact with and can apply those modelling and analytical skills to pretty much any field. You don't have to be particularly smart to be an engineer, although being smart certainly helps; just having an uncanny persistence and a positive attitude towards failure is usually enough. Those who succeed will be able to afford a confortable life for themselves and their wife's children.

>>8162603
yeah

The correlation is actually against mental illness

Above average tends to suffer more from mental illness

High IQs like 125+ on the other hand, do not tend to be afflicted with mental issues, including depression

>>8162603
AFAIK schizotypal personality disorder and high IQ correlate.

>>8162684
Same thing with OCD. I think it depends on the disorder. In Schizophrenia for example having a low IQ is another risk factor.

>>8162529
The correct, rigorous, formal answer is yes.

However, the real world practice is no. Very few people are actually aware of undefinable sets and those that are actively choose to ignore them because they open a Pandoras box of questions and theorems that make the mathematical community uncomfortable.

>>8162529
anything between { and } is a set, what is this ambiguity you're talking about?

>>8162543
There are so many things wrong with this I don't even know where to begin.

>>8162440
Just find a book on whatever interests you most

if you can't self learn how to self learn then you can't self learn

which is why this entire board is a waste of space. even legit threads are pointless.

Does a statistician need to know all of those distributions by heart?
