So, I'm in the uni and this engineer is my teacher.

Why they're allowed to step into academic ground after they conclude their glorified technician courses?

Bro when applied from every angle it's a sphere.
If you want to get technical it's a sphere within a sphere with an infinite potential matrix sequence between them
Profs have studied this shiz way more than you you're bringing your ignorance to class for a reason

Is there a way to rapidly change the electrical conductivity of a sheet of material? Is something like this possible or does it exist?

electrical characteristics of different materials change with temperature
but this usually isn't practical
what are you trying to do?

>>7982017
I want to change the electrical conductivity of part of a reflector for an antenna, but I don't think it's possible.
>>
>>7982005
changes in pressure or temperature. this is actually the basis for most electrical sensors.

You can't solve this without knowing the number of people on the plane, the type of plane, the weathet, the terrain it's flying over, etc.

Depends on which type. Probably Illinois, but school rank isn't important when applying for engr jobs. Like at all.
Visit the schools and decide which one you like the best.

Do not understand why always everything grandiloquent of the culture of the land must always be attributed to aliens, that is belittling human intelligence, as we are always a few apes, if it had been made by aliens would have minimal electrical connections and traces of something computer at least, it's just stone and wood, stop fucking with supernatural inventions, it is good you make money with it but at the expense of the ignorance of people, such as history of ci-fi is exciting but not more than that. There is no hard evidence of nothing.

they weren't slaves and they weren't forced. most of them were highly skilled laborers.
it might help if your knowledge of the pyramids wasn't limited to some book you read in 3rd grade

Dear /sci, I come to you as the second most clever board after /lit/
I watched these videos recently, 1st is 5 minutes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME7K6P7hlko
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sArXw6ajNg
1st question, are they making any logical errors? If so, what?
2nd, Is it true that Legalese is a separate language to English, as it requires its own dictionary
3rd, where does sovereignty come from? Are we born with it, and somehow give it away? Where does it reside?
4th, why are banks called the same things as the sides of rivers?
5th, why do prisoners/defendants stand in the "dock"? are they boats?
6th, can you be joined to a society without your knowledge or consent?
7th, am I an idiot for giving these ideas any credence?
thank you for your consideration

I mostly browse /lit, but I can confirm that /lit is 75% DFW and Pynchon memes, 24% retarded questions like "is this book good? what did you think of x? should I like x? how do I start with the Greeks?" and 1% good content.

We don't know how to socialize with other boards. Please go.

What's the scientific principle or "law" that states that something like 99% of the work is the easiest, or least expensive, but that that last 1% of precision is the most difficult to attain, or the costliest. I think I've seen it applied to engineering, but it applied to pretty much everything.
Anyone know off the top of their heads?

You have 100lbsof potatoes, which are 99 percent water by weight. You let them dehydrate until they're 98 percent water. How much do they weigh now?

What area of math can I begin learning before I have completed calculus?
I am doing Spivak's Calculus (3rd, if it matters), and am about 3/4 through (currently doing Ch23: Infinite Series). However, it gets a little tiresome doing only calculus. Is there any other area that I can do alongside calculus, where my incomplete knowledge of calculus will not prevent me from getting a handle?
I have already gone through Euclid's Elements, if anyone was going to recommend that, or if it will open up more opportunities for me.
If possible, please recommend textbooks (preferable), online courses, or any other good material to learn from. I have no real budget.
Thank you in advance!

What are your objectives? You can do most of basic pire math without calculus. You can learn discrete mathematics, linear algebra, abstract algebra, number theory all without calculus. In fact you don't see any calculus in those courses except maybe as examples.
Realistically you can also learn complex analysis without calculus (up until you're differentiating and integrating but it sounds like you're way passed that point). Hell, you can do basic Analysis without calculus.
>>
>>7981327
Linear algebra, general topology.
If you defend yourself well enough, you can start with analysis too.
Actually, calculus is very applied math, and you aren't probably facing those monster integrals again in your life, unless you do something really specific.
>>
>>7981337
I have no real objectives. I am a first year student in mathematical physics, so I guess anything that can help with physics is ideal. Really though, I am just learning for fun and a challenge, since my current courses are easy, and they won't let me take the advanced math courses since I am in the science department, instead of the math department.
All of my maths courses so far have been calculus, and linear algebra (which is easy, but pure agony).

Is addiction a meme illness? There clearly is something going on, because people die over it. Fatties eat themselves to death, pedos are unable to stop themselves from trying to hook up with underage girls online even after being caught, junkies OD and die, etc. It's all the same 'illness', but the fixation of choice differs.

Talking about dimensions of a mathematical space , I wondered what does link a n dimension to a n+1 one.
However, I couldn't figure out even how to define a dimension : I thought about using matrice (1,n) and even (n,n) but none of them worked or seems to link from one to another.
Any idea ?
