How should I know that 'cause and effect' isn't just a redundant/convoluted way of thinking and that everything (including my thoughts) don't just happen to happen for no proper reason!?

You can't.
The software is run on their computers, not yours, and then supplied to you through the website. Your computer has no access to the program itself unless you actually go and hack into their server.
>Soooooooo
stop talking like a valley girl
>>
>>7796993
It's stored on their server. If you can get the admin right to access their source/packages you can clone it to your computer.
However, you are probably not able to do so because it is not easy.

FUCK!!! how would i go about accessing their servers remotely
Any good options? Thinking of open university

First intro to proofs (How to Prove it, a Structured Approach), Linear Algebra (Hoffman&Kunze) and Real Analysis (Terence Tao I & II) together are core. Then abstract algebra (Rotman's first course or Artin's classic), then post again asking for advice.

Also, you can do combinatorics right after proofs. Otherwise, I agree. Calculus is a half-asses substitute for the full thing.
Hey, /sci/.
Been conducting some experiments in my shed out of interest, looking at how the surface tension of water changes against temperature. This is done by method of a propane torch to warm a beaker of water which is then moved into a squidgy pipette, dripped drop by drop into a cup on some scales (20 times), and then the resulting mass is weighed. I'm using the drop weight method, basically.
Looking online, it seems that the surface tension is supposed to decrease as temperature increases however my results obtained via the aforementioned method show no such correlation (pic related).
I suspect this is something to do with the changing density of the water as temperature is increased and the constant circumference where it is in contact with the pipette, but trying to work it out from first principles is just showing me what I'd expect.
Does /sci/ have any idea what could be causing this effect?
(Sorry for the shitty labelling of the graph - x axis is temp, y is surface tension, title should read "Surface Tension [math]Nm^{-1}[/math] against Temperature (Degrees C)"

Ignore the result at 0,0 by the way, just me getting excel to show me the full y axis.

>Does /sci/ have any idea what could be causing this effect?
A very wrong procedure. You're not accounting for heat transfer, I assume?
>>
>>7797064
Temperature is monitored in the heated beaker via a thermometer. I'm doing the pipette transfer pretty quickly so I'm taking losses due to heat to be negligible.

Im writing an app to read qr-like codes. Each code has a couple of identification points, so app can:
1. find em in the photo
2. check how their positions are different from original structure
3. calculate rotation, translation, scale
4. restore whole code by untransforming
5. read the data lying between id points
Its all simple as long, as the photo is taken perpendicularly. When the "projection" is tilted from the vertical by a few degrees the algorithm dramatically loses efficiency.
The question is: what operation/matrix do I need to bring the 2d object back to 2d surface from 3d world?
pic related, sample perspective

>3. calculate rotation, translation, scale
These (+ shearing) are just affine transformations. You need a projective transformation.
>5. read the data lying between id points
I hope you're using bicubic/bilinear interpolation and not nearest neighbor.
>>
Many thanks!
Think I'll get away without interpolation. I don't expect big angles and app is meant only to read binary sequences basing on areas' average brightness, so single pixels shouldn't be crucial. Still a very valueable nice!
> and not nearest neighbor.
What do you mean by that?

What's the next widely held belief that will be overturned, causing textbooks to be rewritten, much like when they discovered that Photo wasn't actually a planet?

That's ok. As a tutor you are there for two reasons only

>>
>>7794605
It´s not necessary but try to engage your students. It is really easier whe you are with just one of them. makes the whole thing more enjoyable.

I think you'll remember more from the course when they bring up the topics they're having trouble with. Worst case scenario, if you don't remember much, ask for them to explain how much they know of the topic, or how they would try to approach the problem.
It has two purposes: gets them to think on their own and explain their approach, and gives you a chance to remember from the course.

Explain gravity.
Oh... Y-you can't?
Why does this board even exist if you people have no clue about such an obvious phenomenon save for some very basic observations of its effects.
It's very possible the the human brain has achieved the limits of abstract thought necessary to crack the secrets of gravity. We may be physiologically incapable of grasping these things, just like a dog will never be able to comprehend calculus, no matter how long you train it.
Are the ego maniacs on here willing to admit such a possibility?

is mathematics man-made or has it always been there waiting for us to discover? we have our own numbers, letters, words and symbols, but before even languages existed, five fingers were still five fingers, even if the word "five" was not invented yet.
but does that really change the truth? and which one is the truth?
if you think it's natural, then do you think the entire concept is natural or only the basics like two plus two? we also have the complicated side of mathematics that require tons of numbers, letters, equations (...)
crazy stuff that came to my mind while i was taking a crap.

We forumlated a model of universal laws based on a numerical system and called it Math. We invented the system but not the idea, the idea comes from nature.

OP, you know people have been discussing and writing on this subject for thousands of years? At least for 500 years academically.
Why would it means what some undergrads in engineering think?

Thanks bro
Why is /sci/ so opposed to discussing out of the ordinary stuff? Isn't that the shit that makes people ask more questions and investigate more? Instead, people often say "X can probably be explained by Y, case closed, no need for further investigation. What, you still ask? go to /x/."

post out of the ordinary threads

>>7797362
because people prefer to make conjectures about thing they know something about, instead of talking out of their ass like you do, and you expect everybody to do.
Kill yourself or stop shitposting

because threads starting with "what if" are followed by baseless claims that hold zero scientific background or followed by the OP asking people to disprove his retarded ideas where he spams "we cant know nuthin" and changing goalposts to keep his autistic thread going on.
These people need to be purged.
