Is there really a way to do math in your head faster?
Alot if books claim to teach their super secret methods, are any of them true? Any recommendations?
I'd like to do math quicker, particularly percentages and fractions. How do all the tv "human calculators" do it? Do you recommend learning it?
- probably
- it doesn't matter
- you're wasting time not learning higher level. You don't need mega arithmatic skills.
>>7972825
The only way to do math faster is to do lots and lots of it. Its basically like any other skill.
>>7972825
use a calculator they're more reliable
What is the comfiest field of math and why is it topology?
What is the objective of topology?
when i learn this what am i able to do?
>>7972711
Topology can be thought of abstracting the notion of limits and "closeness" in calculus. It allows you to extend these ideas to in different ways to spaces more exotic than standard Euclidean space.

intersting.
Ionic bonds are typically between metals and non-metals.
Beryllium is a Metal, and Nitrogen is a non metal.
Why is this book showing Be3N2 as having a covalent bond?
Is this an exception to this general rule?
>>7972485
brehs
>>7972485
its ionic the diagram is probably showing the lattice structure or something, ironic or covalent bonding is determined by the difference in electronegavitivy
>>7972485
did you even fucking read the book?
Anyone up for some /sci/ Libs?
I need a noun.
Climate change
Another noun, and a plural noun.

What causes a wave function to collapse?
>>7972426
Human observers. Quantum mechanics is proof that the universe was made by God for humans.
>>7972428
What if the photons that are emitted when we look at it hit the wave and change it?
>>7972430
In theory it works but in practice it doesn't.
He stated that: "Supercomputers will achieve one human brain capacity by 2010, and personal computers will do so by about 2020."

>Retard says something retarded
I'm shocked.
>>7972281
It happened, actually...at least the 2010 one

He's a madman dude. He lost his shit in the the 60s trying to come up with the singularity hypothesis.
How can STEM students even compete?
I can't believe I took the time to read that
He sounds kind of like Steven Wolfram.
>>7972518
Can you elaborate
I've seen Wolf get a lot of hate on here but never known why
so ive got a horrible function and shit. when i do
plots[animate](plot, [Ax-axionAx, z = 0 .. 200], t = 0 .. 1/1500000, frames = 100)
i get pic related, but when i do
plot3d(axionAx-Ax, z = 0 .. 200, t = 0 .. 1/1500000)
i get whats in the next picture.
so why is there such a disparity between the 3d plot and the animation? is there any way to fix the 3d plot, because the animation is right, but i need the 3d plot

Could science ever harness the power of the electric eel? This thing produces 650V of electricity. I for one envision a world where I plug my MacBookpro into an eel to charge it.
>>7971859
I don't know who the hell you think you are, Mr. Harvey. But I think we could change the world with these algorithms.
>>7971848
Sir, you need to find the short circuit current of your eel and how long it can sustain it.
What is this kind of question called, and how do I solve it?
I am just starting complex numbers (self-taught), and i am having trouble with the polar co-ordinates because of my incompetence with these questions.
When do the graph of sine and cosine cross each other?
>>7971755
I dont know. I can estimate it with graphs, but I dont know how to calculate it.
unless im just forgetting something really basic like an idiot...
>>7971740
[eqn]\sin \theta = \cos \theta[/eqn]
[eqn]\sin \theta = \sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta}[/eqn]
[eqn]2\sin^2 \theta = 1[/eqn]
[eqn]\sin \theta = \pm \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/eqn]
Moral of the story, substitute either sin or cos and solve for the trig function.
Can science really explain all of this?
only once we discover the power of triple integrals.
>>7971672
Yep.
>>7971672
Sure, why not?
Where do I even start with this problem? I get the feeling that I'm supposed to use differentiation to prove this, but it explicitly says right there that F=ma can't happen because m is not constant for particles.
I've never taken physics in my life.
>>7971565
in SR, write the product of m times v
then write v = v(t) since v depends on time t, then differentiate with respect to time t
usual the chain rule
then render manifest some acceleration a, which is defined as whatever makes you get the final result on your sheet
>>7971586
>then write v = v(t) since v depends on time t, then differentiate with respect to time t
What I posted is the entire text of the problem. There's no v or m given elsewhere to differentiate, or any other functions for that matter.
>>7971593
you are wrong
you know that F = d/dt (mv) which is true in SR
but in SR the mass m= m(v) is what is given, with v depending on time t, so you must be careful when you differentiate wrt the time t
in newton, mass is cst wrt the time t and the velocity v.
your whole problem is a chain rule.

Why are stars fuckhueg and planets not?
Also, how do they even estimate the sizes of these stars?
there's more hydrogen in the universe than other elements. what else you fucking idiot? jesus how is this a question? think about it; the progenitors of other elements are these stars. when they exceed a certain size they reach a critical phase that prevents an accretion disk of a large enough scale that could produce fuckhuge exoplanets.
>>7971003
The rich get richer. The biggest object around tends to accumulate more mass than other nearby objects, making it even bigger, and even for likely to pick up mass, and so on. Also with the really big ones a lot of their volume isnt particularly dense
>>7971009
>there's more hydrogen in the universe than other elements
That doesn't tell me shit.
> what else you fucking idiot? jesus how is this a question?
Tell me how to price a European stock option. Speak with me in German. Write some code in C#. Getting the point dumbass?

What?
What molecule is this?
That's not a molecule. That's a sculpture.
>>7970958
That's not a post. It's a series of bits.
>>7970953
it's a bullshit molecule. it's missing some bonds. unless some nigger stole parts of it, the artist who made it is an idiot.
