Yes.

A linear combination of the functions you mentioned.

Also cosh and sinh (derivate twice to get back to the same).

Also, think about polynomials. You can set up a function for any n, such that when you differentiate a + bx^n + cx^(2n) + ..., n times, you get back the same function.
Whether or not the gained function is a linear combination of e^x, sinx, cosx, sinhx or coshx, is left as an exercise to the reader..

Interesting! Looking at the hyperbolic trig functions, they seem to be linear combinations of e^x.

>>7928937
as are cos x and sin x

Nothing. Understanding pure Maxwell is easy, but actually solving reallife problems (antenna design, TL/optical fibre design, radio communication) takes substantial efford. You end up with lots of numerical approximations and dicking around on CAD software.

You can usually find the things you need elsewhere from where you usually get them or feel that you should get them from

You have nothing to worry about from AI

AI can be configured to keep arguing until a universal truth is established where not even human input can refute the principal.

Humans can't do that.

AI Philosopher Kings please.

seeing all electromagnetic light would let us avoid skin cancer at the beaches as we would see the ultraviolet light shining down on the beach

it would probably scare the hell out of people getting xrayed as well

>>7928266
We would also see radio waves leaking all over the place and there could be some kind of attempt to combat that. Maybe we'd be better at manipulating radio waves when we have to worry about it leaking all over the place.

>>7928271
oh yeah

all the things broadcasting/receiving radiowaves would be bright as balls

even microwaves would be very very intense on the eyes

wonder if Sedol will get any votes.

>>7928011

He's going to find a glaring weakness in AG today and expose it. Expect him to play around the middle of the board like game 1.

MARK IT DOWN.

"They are almost the same size, and they are very close together. They are so close together that they orbit the center of mass between them, and the center of mass goes around the sun. Pluto and Charon are so close that they may even share an atmosphere."

First question, what would the near presence of a mass that big do to the Earth's mantle and tectonic plates? Would the tidal forces just pull Earth apart?

Second, are they to be orbiting the centre of the combined mass? If the tidal forces weren't pulling the planet apart they would certainly cause enormous sea tide changes. Look at estimates for global warming causing a 1m rise, see what would be left of the Eastern seaboard of the USA, low lying Europe, etc, then consider tidal rises three or four times bigger.

I don't think these aliens have thought this through.

>>7927888
Wouldn't it be more feasible to have Earth and Venus on the same orbit, but be on the other side of the sun from each other?

though, I supposed if they can move a planet away from the sun in to a larger orbit, they will have the technology to maintain such a close orbit to Earth without both of them experiencing some pretty bad side effects the entire time.

>What effect would that have on our society overtime do you think?

Many more religions would develop. Old ones would still be strong, but new branches of those and completely new religious would spring up too. Public perception of the aliens and their relationship to them will be dictated by mass media. So, whatever the governments/mega corporations want to the public to feel/do about that will be done. There is a lot of money to be milked from the public from such an event and way of life.

As for cultural contamination, that will really depend on how relatable the aliens will be to humans, in all aspects. Otherwise, all you end up with is a culture based on a one-sided human psychological projection of what they think of the aliens. That's much like what humans already do with inanimate objects and pets for instance, anthropomorphizing something that isn't human.

So, what level of similarity do the aliens have with the humans? Use movie examples if you need to, "Alien Nation aliens/Vulcans/Superman" being the closest to humans and "District 9/Xenomorphs/Starship Trooper Bugs minus malintent" being the furthest from humans.

He's a meme, get your science from /b/ instead. They are more reputable because they are anonymous.

Stoner talk is entertaining in moderation, but it's not promoting actual interest in science. They like cool facts, not mathematics and rigor.

>>7927704
>not mathematics and rigor

all of my cringes

What this is?

>>7927681
Deforming a circle with a vector field.

>>7927678
Vector fields aren't weird at all. Algebraically they're usually fairly trivial unless we work in the complex plane.

Coroner. If you have to "frequently interact with patients," you need to find a new hospital.

>>7927577
Study mathematics and then work as the statistician of a medical institution.

If you want to be a memer then double major in math and biology or some shit.

>>7927577
Radiology, pathology and laboratory stuff.

I like how people always say humans as in "all of us".

Humans will survive, guaranteed. Humans always do, and Humans will still be on top of the food chain.

You, and the majority of people, not so much. Dont confuse a species with "us"

>>7927417
Use AI to design better humans.

Are humans kind of nano machines? Then we can make them better.

>>7927417
OP, you seriously need to have a think about what defines you yourself as a human being. And live it.

>>7927346
Janich's Topology is a good read. Be warned it doesn't have exercises though.

>>7927363
>it doesn't have exercises though.
literally worthless

>>7927382
Only brainlets need exercises.

>>7927038
Your mistake is that you are only considering the downsides of intelligence. The negative effects of intelligence are actually a lot less likely to happen than the positive effects of it.

So in average, intelligence is a beneficial trait.
It's possible that this becomes less true with welfare and that intelligence has diminishing returns, but it's still a beneficial trait to have.

Sure there are, you just have to go beyond radicals. This is still algebraic.
See:

*Implying that radicals don't exist

So there is no way to find the root of [math]x^7-1=0[/math] ?
