3 years ago, /sci/ helped me write a paper for my undergraduate class in proteins.
I've since graduated with a BS in biochemistry.
I am deeply saddened to see the state /sci/ is in currently.
It's even more troubling because I came back in hopes to pay it forward.
However, it seems this is no longer the board it once was.

I somewhat get the gist of:
1. You take a base case and prove that what you try to claim holds for this base case (usually index 1)
2. In the induction step you use a hypothesis as premise (that your claim holds for n)
3. You prove that it also holds for n+1 and therefore for all numbers
But I don't get...
a) the logic behind "let's just assume it counts for all numbers till an arbitrarily chosen index n" and if the claim holds there, it therefore must be true for all numbers following after that.
If I take a sample of 1 to n bunnies to see which of them are white for example, by induction logic, all bunnies must therefore be white?
b) the induction step. Take the first exercise in the pic for example.
Base case n=1:
On the left side: 1 (only 1 summand)
On the right side: 1(1+1)/2 = 1
Induction step:
Sum from i=1 to n+1 of (i)
= Sum from i=1 to n of (i) + (n+1)
^Why is this equation correct?
For n=3 for example, the sum from index 1 to 3+1 aka n+1 equals 20 (1+3+6+10).
But then why is this the same as the sum of
index 1 to 3 plus (n+1)?
That would be: 14 (1+3+6 + (3+1))

You prove it's true for 1. You also proved that if it's true for n, it's true for n+1. Therefore it is true for 2. By the same reasoning, it is true for 3. Etc.

You're forgetting step 3 that you listed earlier.
If P is your property to be proved, P(n) MUST imply P(n+1), and you have to prove that it does, else you can't induct. In your example, 5 white bunnies does not imply 6 white bunnies.

Should /sci/ be split?
/life sciences/ --- biology, neuroscience, genetics, biochemistry, zoology, ecology, botany, medicine, pharmacology, veterinary, etc.
/physical and formal sciences/ --- mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, etc.
Basically, one board for
science that revolves around mathematics and one for science that doesn't use mathematics so extensively.
We already have /his/ for history, but I also propose we broaden it to /social sciences/ so it becomes about anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history, law, linguistics, psychology, sociology, etc.
If you agree, let us know on https://www.4chan.org/feedback

Can someone explain this Nasa report to me?
http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/nasa-study-mass-gains-of-antarctic-ice-sheet-greater-than-losses
For those who are too lazy to click on the link, Nasa is basically saying that the mass gain of antarctic ice sheet is greater than the loss
Does this disprove the climate change?

Another proof for God and his precise balance. It would be an astronomical chance for evolution to "create" bees that pollunate which happens to be a vital necessity for life to grow.

Hi everybody. I am interesting in teaching myself various areas of science related subjects and now wish to delve into a more sort of hands-on experience.
I have been searching around for kind of adult-orientated chemistry kits, electronics/circuits kits, etc. - anything practical so I can view things in a way that textbooks can't help with
Obviously, most things on the market are quite simple and intended for kids so I was wondering what you all may have found to be helpful in the past or even currently. price is not an issue.
Thanks so much in advance

Hey /sci/, if you take a sequence of functions such as
[math]f_n(t) = a_n cos(n.t) + b_n sin(n.t)[/math] such as f_n tend to the zero function, show that a_n and b_n tend to 0

ITT I will try to solve (and in fact solve) all the Millennium Prize Problems one by one. I will do so by a new proof technique that has been proved to be quite powerful. It combined homothopy theory with algebraic geometry. Having said that, the proof technique itself is elementary though. So, let's go ahead.
1. [math] \displaystyle P=NP [/math]
By definition, polynomila algorithms admit decomposition in chains of smaller polynomial algorithms. Consequently, polynomial time algorithms do not solve problems where blocks, whoose order is the same as the underlying problem, require simultaneous resolution. Thus, in fact [math] \displaystyle P \neq NP [/math]
2. Hodge conjecture
Assuming that if a compact Kähler mainfold is complex-analytically rigid, the area-minimizing subvarieties approach complex analytic subvarieties. The set of singularities of an area-minimizng flux is zero in measure. The rest it left to the reader as an easy routine excersize.
3. Riemann hypothesis
This is a simple experimental fact. [math] \displaystyle 10^{13} [/math] roots of the Riemann hypothesis have been already tested and it suffices for all practical applications. In fact, one state a suitable statistical hypothesis and check it on the sample of, say, [math] \displaystyle 10^5 [/math] roots.
4. Yang–Mills existence and mass gap
Well, discrete infinite bosonic energy-mass spectrum of gauge bosons under Gelfand nuclear triples admits non-perturbative quantization of Yang-Mills fields whence the gauge-invariant quantum spectrum is bounded below. A particular consequence is the existence of the mass gap.
5. Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness
(To be continued)

(Cont.)
I haven't worked this one in such detail, but observing that
[math] \displaystyle \| L (u, v) \| ^ 2 = \sum_{n \ge 25} u ^ 2_ {2n} v ^ 2_ {2n +1} / n ^ 2 \le C\|(u_n/\sqrt n)\|_4^2 \|(v_n/\sqrt n)\|_4^2 \le C\|(u_n/\sqrt n)\|_2^2 \|(v_n/\sqrt n)\|_2^2 = C \left (\sum u ^ 2_ {n} / n \right) \left (\sum v ^ 2_ {n} / n \right) [/math]
one can easily find at leat one closed-form solution applying the bubble integral. In the equation, [math] \displaystyle L [/math] is a bilinear operator.
6. Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture
The problem with former attempts has been in the way elliptic curves have been dealt with. But this really admits a proof with a computer by checking the (finitely many) categories of curves.
I also have a simpler than Perelman's proof of the Poincare conjecture, but it's not worth the prize anymore
