Ill admit I've been a loser in real life but now I'm ready to step up to the plate. What's a branch of science where I have a possibility of making a great discovery by myself and becoming a world-renowned name. No half-assed shit either, it has to be great, ideally related to space. I will cite this board for directing me on my path to greatness when the time comes. Ps I have to be able to do it from the comfort of my room.

What are good linear algebra and analysis text books to prepare me for a course in differential geometry and topology? I have some back ground in linear algebra and analysis, but not as much as the course requires, so I'd like to catch up a little.

Also general text book thread

I can recommend "Linear algebra done right". I picked it up because i wanted a more rigorous approach to LA after a shitty course aimed for engineers. It proves everything without determinants which makes things crystal clear. Very demanding exercises (for me, atleast), 100% proofs.

I don't know too much about linear algebra texts, but I like Linear Algebra Done Right. For Analysis Pugh's "Real Mathematical Analysis" has a healthy chapter on metric space topology.

scientific theory of light being split up by a prism?

why it happens?
11 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>7976381
White light is actually made up of several wavelengths of light. The angle of refraction through the glass is dependent on the wavelength of light, so different wavelengths get refracted differently. This occurs because the material absorbs some of the light's energy and slows it down (this is a simplification).
>>
>>7976437
Yes I know that, but how is it possible that the prism absorbs the light and slows it down, is it because of the photons in the light or?

Why doesn't /sci/ believe in hoverboards?
>Can't fly long
New batteries coming soon, 15 minute fly time by 2020
>Dangerous
Multirotors have redundancy, lose a few motors, float to the ground on the rest
>No-one will be allowed to fly it
It will be autonomous in built up areas, no restrictions on private land/wilderness
>No market
Getting through thick bush, swamp and crevasses is a pain. I watched a programme about some botanists out for plant samples deep in Colombia and they had to hire a helicopter just to get up a steep cliff. Would have been cheaper to hoverboard up.

Hey /sci/, math retard here.

I'm trying to make an algorithm:

>(x * 0.01) - 1 = y


How can I make (1) decrease by half whenever (x) is halved?

Example:
>(100 * 0.01) - 1

>(50 * 0.01) - (1 / 2)

>(25 * 0.01) - (1 / 4)

Basically, you take x and you ask it nicely.

But since you never go outside and your pale skin acts like a flashtorch on the eyes, you're just going to piss x off. So stay away.

Can you explain what you want more
>>
>>7976337
(x*0.01) - x/100
Is that what you want?

Because what you said is like asking "Hi guys, my car broke down, I am trying to an engine <random engine specs>"

thats a polynom of 2nd grade or whatever this is called in english i dont care

the differences scheme youre using is similar to a derivative in discrete form.
that your 2nd differences are constant should have told you somthing.

People who are studying CS: how often do you use sentential logic (propositional calculus)/ how useful is it to learn? Recently I have been getting into formal logic and I was just wondering how it is applied to that specific field.

>>7976142
I have used boole algebra to design electronic circuits (Compter Organization and Computer Architecture)

However, I never used propositional calculus directly, I think it is more of a "mathematical thinking" kind of subject.
>>
>>7976756
Besides that, you will use propositional calculus if you are going to program in Prolog.

I've been coding apps for five years and never had to use anything more complicated than a tridimensional array.

I'm extremely confused about light. It's a transverse wave, right? so therefore it must be going through a medium, if so which medium does it travel through (as it travels through vacuums). However I got more confused when reading about photoelectric emission, because the way it was explained in the textbook was individual photons of certain frequencies which carried enough energy to move electrons. If this is the case, then i assume that photons are the waves themselves, as that's the only way an individual thing having a "frequency" makes sense to me. But if this is the case, does it mean that some photons are larger than others due to differences in wavelengths? Pls help me understand this
11 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>7976022
or, this has just occured to me, is it an oscillating particle? so the frequency is the frequency of the oscillation? and the wavelength is caused by the frequency when light is moving through space
>>
Photons have mass.
>The closer the object's speed is to light speed, the greater the increase in inertial mass; to reach light speed exactly would require an infinitely strong force acting on the body.
Photons move at light speed.

Something here doesn't add up.
>>
>>7976031
Photons have mass-energy.
They have no (and cannot have) rest mass.
Any reference to photon mass is laziness on part of the author on the assumption that the reader understands this.

Is it true that all primes above 5 have a remainder of either 1 or 5 when divided by 6 using Euclidean division?

How the fuck should I know?

>>7975987

code and test it faggot
>>
>>7975987
I think so.
Let's check.
Rem = 0: Div by 6, not prime.
Rem = 1: Well, 13 is prime.
Rem =2: Then since 2 div 6 and 2 div 2, not prime.
Rem =3: Then since 3 div 6 and 3 div 3, not prine.
Rem = 4: Then since 2 div 6 and 2 div 4, not prime.
Rem = 5: Well, 17 is prime.

So, yes.

Any of you retards discovered meditation yet?

Been doing it for 3 weeks now, definitely find it easier to get focused and calm.

I'd suggest learning both transcendental and mindful. Both come in handy at different times, depending on how you're feeling and how you want to feel.

But how focused are you while you do it?
