Or they will just talk about your attractiveness/muscularity?

You are not very good at this.

how about at the midpoint on each side? that brings up the number of points to 19.

>>7791607

Oh ofc, I forgot that. Whoops.

So I guess you do something similar to step 3 but at the beginning, just to make sure that kind of thing doesnt happen.

updated.

but what im really interested in isnt whether this works for this particular case, but whether the method would work for eveyr single question of the type:

"Fit X points into Y shape such that no two points are less than Z cm apart"

What do you mean by pursuing geography? As a civ. engineer? As an analyst?

I hope you're trolling kid

let this thread be proof that intelligence is completely wasted on those people without the will to be a creator in the desert that is life.

>what is my skillset

hahahahahahahahah

Assuming you don't mind travel, I would recommend geology. It deals with geography and then masses more on top of it. Whether you are analysing core samples or taking on the detective-like field work to ascertain historical geological activity, you will be dealing with an awful lot of geography. So I would recommend that.

Those paradoxes do not invoke it as a number but in the context of sets. And infinite sets are rigorously defined and perfectly rational (in the sense that they make sense).

>>7791370
But surely the fact the a set contains within itself a non-finite condition, it is still applying such a concept in quantifiable terms.

If this "infinity" has no bearing on the set and how it is dealt with, why not use a finite condition instead?

>But surely the fact the a set contains within itself a non-finite condition, it is still applying such a concept in quantifiable terms.

We are still applying that but in terms of mathematics, that isn't breaking the rules. In the real world infinity may be out of our reach but in math you can play with infinity in the same way you play with the number one, for example.

>why not use a finite condition instead?
Because this would not be enough to explain mathematics.

The set of all natural numbers has infinitely many members. So do the integers, reals, rational, hyperreals, etc. And here it makes perfect sense.

The paradoxes you are talking about try to break the bounds of infinity and apply to the real world and they do so in order to prove a point. To show how logic and common sense immediately break down when you introduce infinity.

You have a full hotel with infinitely many rooms? Full implies that there is no room left but with infinity, that does not matter. That definition is made meaningless by infinity.

In other words, don't take the paradoxes as characteristics of infinity because infinity doesn't really exist in the real world.

talk to your research advisor or a professor that you have a good relationship with, usually they are able to get any paper you need by asking former colleagues from other institutions to get it for them

LOL the reason they chose to compare the burrito to the carnitas bowl is probably because the carnitas bowl has no vegetables that naturally contain SiO2. Very disingenuous.

Why is it safe to eat silica in food but not the silica from those packets that they put in the food container?

because the hull is folded 10,000 times

Is there an reason why we don't use centrifugal force by now to prevent all the expensive specialty items having to be used?

Is it just really expensive to apply this idea to a space station?

>>7790872
>Is there an reason why we don't use centrifugal force by now to prevent all the expensive specialty items having to be used?

For it to match earth like gravity it has to be massive which would cost trillions of dollars to build in today's dollars

neither exist so its a pointless discussion

>can you prove 3^x is equal to 3^(1-x) using only expoents rules?

Let x=0
3^0=1
3^(1-0)=3^1=3

1=/=3

This doesn't even make sense

3^2=9, 3^(1-2)=1/3

im op

Oh shit anon I actually got this book for Christmas and am enjoying it so far.
Slowly dicking around in the first chapter, not very far sadly.
My only problems are that they assume manifolds are embedded in R^n instead of talking about arbitrary manifolds.
Also, in the first chapter when they definied a manifold, aren't they defining a smooth manifold using diffeomorphisms instead of homeomorphisms.
It's a differential topology text so obviously the focus is on differentiable/smooth/analytic manifolds but I feel to someone comepletely new to the subject, there could be confusion.

PWAH! Took this and the other pic this morning when NOAA's sensors said everything was flatlined.

Thule AB, Greenland if you are wondering where.

Nice ! Keep posting OP.

X=0
Try to study the variations of 4^x + 2^-x and of 2-x^2 to show this solution is unique

>>7790669 misread your 2 as a 4, but he's right.

x=0 is the only solution. To see this, try graphing both the left side (which is concave up with a minimum at x=0) and the right side (which is concave down with a maximum at x=0). So the two graphs can intersect at only the point (0,2), so the only solution is x=0.

Other TAs.

No seriously, I always get stuck with
A) Someone who is too lazy to come in half the time.
B) Some retard who doesn't understand the suject and shy's away during tuts.
C) Some ugly neckbeard/landwhale who tries to be elitist because they have nothing else going for them.

Just once I'd like to have a normal fucking TA working with me.

OP. Spelling errors.

I always wound up having a talkative girl teach recitation with me. It was nice; I'd let her introduce things and then I'd fill in the technical details she didn't know.

The word is PLAGIARISM and it's a CRIME!

Plagiarism

and
Accidental Plagiarism
are the more common terms. The history is very interesting as it use to not be a crime, and even now it has such complex legality it obviously needs to be over hauled.

But I think the word you are looking for is

Kleptomnesia

Hope that helps.

Eh, I think neither of those are the one. I'm fairly sure there is a latin definition of it. And, while it technically is plagiarism, I'm not going down that route here, I was thinking about times when creators use some idea, just a piece of something from their subconscious, they just don't realize it didn't just pop in their head from nowhere. It was something they actually heard or seen before. Yes, in my case I composed a whole chorus but that was just an overblown example.

>XY meme
You're a funny guy. But yeah, it was actually "Can't help falling in love with you" if you really want to know.
