Thought it was going to be bait but it's pretty accurate. ChemE student here, feels good. 100k starting for a 3 year degree as well.

ChemE is like the only one that actually belongs there.

I think it's a Jewish ploy to reduce American industry and productivity.

>>8052185
Then how come all of the west (europe) also tries to combat it? Surely it will affect their industry and productivity just as much.

This isn't a thread for open debate on AGW.
Anyone who isn't a contrarian, or a shill, or a redneck with a personal interest in fossil fuels knows that it's a reality and that we have to rectify our energy and production systems.
What I want to hear is if any of you do anything about it.

Not crazy at all. Evolution isn't a buffet where you pick whatever trait you like best for the next generation. If an advantageous mutation occurs (read: random) it might be kept next generation and spread throughout the population. If something works, it spreads (roughly speaking). Our brains could probably be a lot more optimized but they weren't, because they were already advantageous enough to ensure both our survival and complete dominance over every other species in the food chain. Even if something came close to developing intelligence, we would have wiped it out a long time ago, it wouldn't ever coexist with us in the early dawn of man.

I think it takes a lot of coincidences. I mean chimps are getting smarter. There are also Dolphins. Maybe intelligence is a relative thing. Are we really that much better off as a softer civilization than we were as a bunch of hunter-gatherers? I think we just exist, man. What we do with it is what matters.

>>8051743
> Why are we the only intelligent species on the planet?

We literally aren't, lots of other animals use tools and language. We just do it more.

Fuck if I know

If you don't know how to do everything already then you're fucked

>>8051091
I know how to do most things, but I was looking for tricks, shortcuts, or any advice from anyone who has taken the test.

I reallyy hope we do develop ftl travel at some point

>>8051059
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.

Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

yeah we just need materials that don't exist in this universe

>>8049364
It's not so much overpopulation, but over consumption, and to a lesser extent poor allocation of resources, that's going to be a bigger problem in the coming years.

>Do we have some ideas how many people the earth can sustain?

Looking at the carrying capacity of the earth with respect to humans is a bit pointless since we can engineer solutions around problems.

it probably helps that a pretty good fraction of people are starving

>>8049364
food produced per year: enough for 11 billion people

starving people: 1billion+

consumption of food resources of average westerner = 32* consumption of food resources of average kenyan (and no, there is no starvation/war/massive virus outbreak in kenya)


Solution if you think overpopulation is an issue: sterilize americans, europeans and japs.

>>8042461
All nature science based on those two

>>8050716
Calculus is a subset of Analysis

>>8050716
Game theory and everything derived from it are extremely useful in many situations

OP here.

Would also like to note that I have a year and half of uni under my belt and the highest math I took was calc 1.

>>8050451
Abstract algebra and multivariable calculus are supposed to be first year modules... in which case, can you list which modules you have taken, and a small summary of what they contained?

>>8050468
OP again.

I was compsci major. The only math I took was calculus. We fully covered derivatives, and began integrals at the end of the course. I would have covered integrals in the next course but had to take that semester off because of reasons...

Yeah. So as you can tell, I am also a newfag to maff as well.

>>8050184
Anything more than that silly picture is really complicated math.

>>8050184
Ancients putting equations into your subconscious mind.

>>8050184
Are you fucking retarded? Scientists don't even know whether they exist. It's all in experimental state. Nobody has ever seen them and has been able to determine and focus by scientific methods.
