To think that different ethnicities have genetic differences in skin color, hair color, muscle type, propensity for certain diseases(osteoporosis, hypertension, etc), monogenic diseases, but not in brain function, is preposterous.
If you were to take a 3 cans of alphabetti spaghetti with exactly the same letters in each one and 200 letters in each can and pour them on to a plate. What are the chances, if picked at random, that you pick a 'Z'?

You could make the problem more complicated by adding a distribution for the letters and a probability that they're broken.
Even worse, we could include a probability of particular letters being indistinguishable from others if they're broken in a certain way.

Hey im just getting into math, so please be kind.
I have decided to take a free course online at coursera.org called introdution to probablilty and data. I am stuck understanding this one video.
First of all, what is that big reversed E, and its equation doing there.
Thanks, I will be here on this thread until i finish this course or this thread dies.

start with more basic stuff then if you dont understand what the course expect you to understand already. the reversed E is summing all the xi 's from 1 to n

i was thinking about how bascially the human race are stuck on planet earth with no practical actual way of space travelling.
we probably won't find a way to visit the nearest habitable planet in our lifetime.
we'll probably kill ourselves in 2075 during the scramble for resources too.
so i ask, what's the fucking point in doing science?
we're just gonna die anyway, and we will never be able to travel the stars.

Is someone's IQ a valid measurement of their intelligence? It seem to be tailored towards people with very specific talents and skill sets imo.

Hey all -
Soon to be STEM /sci/ major here.
I was interested in some book suggestions that would be good to read over the summer.
Some stuff I prefer if you could suggest within the category -
Math Philosophy (interesting Math subjects, abstract ideas, perhaps a more advanced book akin to Vsauce / Numberphiles' subjects)
Science books discussing interesting and somewhat controversial topics, as well as political and economic development of drugs, medicine, etc
Physics / Abstract Mathematical mindfuck books that don't make sense but make all the sense in the world fundamentally
Or really just any /sci/ books you recommend.
Thanks for any and all help!
Cheers.

This looks pretty interesting.
How hard would it be to read and study with only elementary / undergraduate experience?

I'm actually in your same situation and would like to get some suggestions as well.
just got some blood work done to see if i have hypothyroidism, and my results say my tsh is 4.4ish which my dr says is above range.
my dr wants to put me on thyroid hormones, which he says i'll have to take for life.
i have all the symptoms (some hair loss, lips cracking, constipation, depression) and want to get better, but i really don't want to be taking pills my entire life.
is there anything else i can do? is there anything else that could be causing this? is it possible that it will just go away eventually?
my dr isn't really helping me find alternatives so i thought i'd ask here.

This isn't the correct place for this. There are entire websites whose goal is to help educate, and help people with their thyroid problems.
I recommend you go there.
>>
I assume you have Hashimoto's disease(autoimmune thyroiditis). Your thyroid gland is irreversibly destroyed, and can't produce enough hormones anymore. You have to get these hormones from somewhere else.
A reversible cause of hypothyroidism is iodine deficiency, but it is very rare outside of very poor countries.
>>
Just take the pills. You don't really have any other choices other than go untreated.
It depends a little on what is the cause of your hypothyroidism. Get some more tests, even if it's just to understand the cause and what type of hypothroidism it. Because TSH is elevated it's probably the type where your thyroid is underactive (so the pituitary is producing a bunch of TSH to stimulate it to get its shit together, but it can't do it). So the guy above is right. You thyroid is probably fucked.
Sorry famalam, I'm not exactly an endocrinologist. You don't have much of a choice though. Btw for medication T3 > T4 but you want to have both. Don't feel bad about taking pills. Thyroid hormones are top drugs man.

Does anyone have something like this but less crowded and more aesthetically pleasing? The point is to have common math identities and values in front of me all the time. (sqrt(2)/2, sqrt(3)/2, etc.)
In the meantime /sci/ wallpaper thread I guess.

I was wondering, if you have a closed room (thermally isolated) and leave the door of a regular fridge open, what will happen to the temperature inside the fridge? I'm well aware that the average temperature of the room will increase but is the fridge affected by this or does the temperature inside stay the same?
