>hurr engineers learn just as much as mathfags and physicists
>in uni: calc III/ODE
>in real life: excel and basic geometry with CAD
it's like bragging you one rep'd a plate in high school on /fit/ while you clench a shaker in your personal gym. why are engineers so deluded? i'm not going to deny they're important to society, but in no way are you on even intellectual ground with real STEM majors. Every single project or contribution you make is built on the premise that a physicist or mathematician produced. if they didn't exist, you wouldn't be able to do your job. CS fags are useless? guess who made your CAD software and CNC firmware. Engineers need to stop talking so much shit about these. You need to learn all of them, the programming, the CAD/matlab/C++/etc, and the theories that work in ideals. if you can't adapt yourself why are you even trying to act like your opinion matters? it's asinine. I just find this so fucking hilarious. You really do have to be 1st year tier to be so butthurt about theoreticalfags or CSfags to think that they're useless, when you can't even work past draught stages or cost analysis.

>in real life: excel and basic geometry with CAD
not even remotely true. practicing engineers are very involved with numerical methods, particularly convergence of solutions and orders of error. i know you think CAD software is nothing but virtual legos, but they are comprehensive CFD/FEA packages which require knowledge of PDE's and complex analysis.

So it seems to me like there are two kinds of people that complain about depression. One seem to have reasonable reasons to feel down. Like being ugly, sick, poor, dumb, friendless, social phobic, without education/job... the other seem to be irrational and unable to explain why they feel bad. They have a college degree, good job, friends and a significant other...
So is the first case depression or just a reasonable reaction to being dealt a bad hand / being in a bad place in life? Then again there are people that have the same conditions without complaining about depression. Is it just a depression that happened early in life so it shaped the rest of it?

Recently I've seen several psychologists and psychiatrists say that combining several things into 'major depression' was a mistake and that 'melacholic' and 'reactive' depression should have been maintained as separate diagnoses.

Depression is great, it makes you work. Happiness is equal to absolute poverty, you are too happy you don't care etc happiness throws duty, morals out of the window, happiness is like snorting cocaine, it will eventually make you poor and die

I had an argument with my sister. She is of the opinion that teenagers shouldn't be forced to learn math if they don't want to, and that anything above Algebra 1 or possibly Geometry is "useless" for regular people. Does she have a point? I disagree with her, but I can't honestly prove that a regular person will ever need to use Calculus in his day-to-day life.

She's absolutely right. Unless she goes into STEM, she's pretty much never gonna need any substantial mathematical knowledge anytime in her life.

What happens when you take the Taylor expansion of a straight line?
What about the fourier series?

>>7969667
Nothing interesting. Why don't you try calculating it yourself?
>>
>>7969667
Well if you took the Taylor series of a line (ie. y=mx+c) then the series would just terminate. For a Fourier series you'd still return an infinite series, all be it over a specific domain.
>>
Taylor expansion of a straight line would just be the first two terms (a constant and a linear function), i.e. all further terms 0.
