If P=NP is proved, what would be the consequences?

I would call the cyberpolice and then consequences will never be the same.

Also, is "P=NP?" itself a NP problem, and can we prove that "P=NP?" is a NP problem, or is this proof itself a NP problem?

How do I into CFD, /sci/? I've majored in math and computer science and I'm starting a Ph.D. In the fall. I may very well be working with some CFD apps so I want to get a head start.

Also I have access to some testbed supercomputers I can play with, so I thought it'd be interesting to try implementing some stuff.

Where do I start?

Lmfao is that cow aerodynamics or something? Hahahaha I can't stop laughing

>born too late to explore the earth

>born just in time to witness the research of cow aerodynamics

Is this really how evolution works? I thought it was mostly random mutation and then if that mutation was a stronger trait, that line would keep producing, via survival of the fittest.
If this is true, do you think humans in the far future will evolve to have more dexterous fingers and larger eyes due to our constant interaction with digital technology?

as the title says, this is Lamarckism, which was an early contender hypothesis and was discarded long ago
>>
>>8085141
Oh, that makes sense. I should have googled that first. My bad
>>
>>8085139
Mostly no, but sometimes yes. As pointed out above, this describes Lamarckian inheritance, which is not the mechanism for the origin / development of adaptations or traits in the majority of cases.

I just wanted to add some nuance here and point out that, in fact, this mechanism sometimes does apply. For instance, certain bacteria can acquire a trait (e.g. antibiotic resistance) and then pass it on to their offspring. Also, under certain conditions the environment can lead to the epigenetic silencing or expression of genes, even in mammals. This doesn't affect the actual genome, but this process can lead to inheritance of acquired traits, which is partially qualifies as Lamarckian inheritance.

The example of the giraffe is wrong, but Lamarck wasn't fully wrong.

can you plot a color map for reference? (is it f(z) = |z| ? or does it account for real and imaginary part?)

The first ten prime numbers are
02, 03, 05, 07, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29...

Is there a prime number when turned around (the 1st digit becoming the 2nd and the 2nd the 1st) it's still a prime?

For example 13, changes to 31, which is a prime.

Are there any other primes like this?

Is this problem known?

>It shouldnt be that difficult can it?

Butchered, mentally-disabled grammar aside, what reason do you have to believe it shouldn't be difficult? Of course it's fucking difficult, how in the hell is a suit meant to keep you upright against pressures of over 1000 atmospheres? The mariana trench has been reached via manned missions, but they sure as hell didn't go out of their pod for a stroll along the ocean floor.

>>8084762
I will forgive your childish demeanor due to my "grammar" this once you little shit.i just asked a question. Fucking christ. Yes i know that the force on the ocean is immense but the fact that we have managed to walk on the moon we'd be able to create a suit able to withstand such water pressure.

/sci/, I think I'm addicted to studying.

I honestly don't like doing anything else. I don't get any joy whatsoever from video games, TV shows, or recreational books that I used to love. It all bores me and feels like a waste of time, and all I can think about when I'm trying to relax is school. I even dream about the material- regularly.

Is there something wrong with me? Is anyone else like this?

Hey /sci/, how can a high school graduate start self-learning over the summer to prepare for the start of a Physics degree? I've just completed the AP Physics E&M course, and pretty much have my mind set on physics. But, I'm not exactly sure where I should go from here. Are there any good textbooks that you guys can suggest I move on to? What topics/math should I learn next? Pic related is the textbook that we used, for context.

>But, I'm not exactly sure where I should go from here.


Math:
-Do you know vector calculus? If not learn that.
-Linear Algebra is generally the next step.


Physics:
- Maybe go through a slightly more advanced take on E&M. At the level of like Purcell. (You can try Griffiths although you will likely be lost without knowledge of diff eqs)
- Special Relativity or General Wave mechanics is also an option.
