divergent series are not scalar values

Second line is wrong, it should be 0.

>he thinks infinity is a natural number

try turning off your computer and turning it on again, then tell me if your problem is fixed

no rationalism is correct. Math do not describe the world, no matter what you fantasies are.
Mathematics is a choice of a framework to look at the world. Then the people embracing the scientific method choose to sort out what well formed formulas make sense according to them. since they know that it remains a choice to say that ''such well formed formulas describe the world (like the one of the free energy or the one of a black hole)'' but they cling to the notion of ''explanation'', they hide their personal choices into an external necessity: ''it is necessary that my mathematical model is right, in the sense that it describe the world''.

also, particles do not exists in most modern models. what exists is fields and the number operator.
Next time, ask your professor ''how many electronic wave function [NOT ELECTRONS] is there in the universe ?''

if he is smart enough, he will refuse to answer, or say that there is one.

Pretty much the sanest reply I've read on /sci/ for a while.

Our conception of objective reality has this evaporated into a mathematics which describes, not the behavior of particles, but rather our knowledge of this behavior -Heisenberg

Get off /sci and read a book nigger

I'll stay.
>I still remember my trigonometric identities

Excuse me? This is a Science & Math board, not a Useless Math Exercises board.

>>7920511
i thought math used numbers?

>a bigger troll
bigger troll is not better troll

>>7920511
This is false, because a valid representation of n is infinity, which will make both sides infinity and thus equal to each other.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that you are not going for a math degree.

If that is the case then don't even bother. You will only need to understand calculus if you are asked to do proofs or some shit. Everything in calculus is given to you as a nice little formula and every calculus book is literally a bunch of formulas spaced out between long paragraphs of useless (for non mathematicians) bullshit to make you feel like you are learning but you know that for the test you are just going to memorize that the derivative of arcsin is 1 over the square root of 1 minus x squared.

Don't even bother my man. As long as you are not literally retarded then you will be fine.

What if I'm studying in my spare time so I can really understand it and learn to model stuff with it? Spivak or Apostol?

I wanna into math maturity but it just seems impossible. Should I memorize something? Properties of numbers, sets?

>>7920850
Spivak? Topkek you're on your own with this level of ignorance

Or physics students calling themselves physicists, or math students mathematicians, or computer scientists calling themselves scientists.

Most math majors don't become mathematicians

Most physics majors don't become physicists

Most engineering major become engineers. Likely because it's such a straight forward career path.

I know this might be a completely foreign idea to math majors, being that it involves gainful employment and everything, but most engineering students take engineering internships while they're still in school! Wow! Would you imagine that?

Like a metal window screen? Manufacturing costs.

For all internets and purposes I don't see why not.

Level 3 is fucken dumb mate.

>>7920332
What do I get if I make it passed level 9000?

Because I found an easy way to do it.

I'm at 'Just guess.' No idea what they want here... tried a ton of stuff already

You deserve cancer.

You're retarded.

50/50 obviously. either you are correct or you arent

>>7920202
Trivial.

So, how is it possible that people with brain damage lose the ability to do shit, like recognising faces? If it was just an antenna you should only lose the ability to move your body, not the ability of thinking

>>7919974
>How does a car antenna capture a radio signal when its properties are so different from the incoming signal?

what the fuck are you on about? what do you mean they're different?

high people shouldn't be on this board.

sage.

>>7919980
If antenna is damaged it won't receive or process the signal properly. That's certain people with brain damage lose their motor skills but not their cognitive skills...vise versa.

>it's probably not even there anymore

explain

are aliens stealing our space?

>>7919844
since everything is moving and takes some millions of light years to get to us the object could be gone and it's light is just now reaching us

We're just curious, anon, that's all.

That one usually sparks huge debate.But you are right

You're given the string of symbols ZE, from which you can apply the following transformation rules:

1) xE→xEU, meaning that if a string ends with E, you can add a U to the end of it.
2) Zx→Zxx, meaning that you can double the string that comes after Z.
3) xEEEy→xUy, meaning that if you have a row of 3 E's in your string, you can replace them with a U.
4) xUUy→xy, meaning that you can remove any row of 2 U's in your string.

For an example, you can do the following changes: ZE→ZEE (rule 2)→ZEEEE (rule 2 again)→ZUE (rule 3).

The problem is: How would you reach ZU, starting from ZE?

>>7919559
What would make you think this had any validity?

DUDE LSD LMAO

The stoned ape theory is stupid because it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the evolutionary process. The theory is pretty much claiming that exposure to psychoactive substances caused physical changes which were then passed on to offspring, which is impossible. Enhanced vocal cords and communication centers in the brain helped create spoken language, not some shrooms
