The light bouncing off of them into your eyes has no connection with their intellect. So no.

Most difficult to get accepted:
U of T: Engineering Science
McMaster: Health Science
Waterloo: Math/Chartered Accounting
I'm not sure if other schools really have programs that are notoriously difficult to get accepted to.

Why is this important to you?

>>7787764
U of T PHd in medicine is notoriously difficult to get into.

>>7787723
Measures exist.

A few things to look up

Definition of a sigma-algebra, of a measure, of a measurable function.
Some constructions (product measures, push-forward, Caratheodory)
Properties of the Lebesgue measure (regularity, behaviour under diffeomorphism)
Construction of the integral relative to a measure
Lp spaces
Riesz representation theorems
Radon-Nikodym theorem

depends what you need it for. if you only want to know the gist of it to bring it up in your autistic name-droppings, you have to realize that it is a way to formalize the whole aspect of "defining length", and from there, the fields of probability, integration, analysis fall out.
For example, you can learn a good amount of Markov Chains without knowing measure and freely using Fubini to justify interchange of integral and summation(for integrable functions).

its a very dry field and you start from "basics"(sigma algebra, borel sets), and work from the ground up. so you could follow what >>7787761

you're

"a" of course, you only use "an" when it either starts with a vowel or does phonetically sound like a vowel

Thank you. Thank you. That would help me out.
but I'm not a faggot

Pretty much every detail, having an Aspergic mind is great.

>>7787653

But being a virgin isn't.

Whoa, whoa, I have a daughter.

If you're 14 years old and want to be a pretentious pseudo-intellectual autist, it certainly is.

>>7787689

Yep. Read at 16 y.o. never looked back. Funny though, the Philosophy Majors thinks that's impressive, but really the book is very basic when it comes to a mathematical understanding.

>>7787620
yes it's fantastic, it's slow going though.

>>7787604
>(Especially for renewables)

Do you want to know about the electricity grid or do you want to know how various generation systems work?

>>7787646
Both are fine senpai. If you can recommend about smart grids, power transmission, storage systems, pv cells, fuel cells, wind generation, biomass etc I am open to anything useful

sorry to highjack your thread, but you seem to have a neuroscience background (which i find pretty interesting). is it currently possible to selectively and reversibly "switch off" specific brain functions like seeing or hearing in lab-animals?

>>7787606
Fairly sure that counts as cruelty.

>>7787606
>>7787615
Not to mention, that would differ in animals, so be more specific.

nothing that you download for free will be good really

What do you mean? The Macro and Microeconomics series by Mankiw I downloaded are pretty good.

>Probability and statistics
A First Course in Probability (Ross)

>Econometrics
Econometrics (Hayashi)

This assumes you have no prior experience in the subject, but are willing to make a serious effort to learn and do not recoil in fear from mathematical symbols.

>Averaging each day evenly should then return the same result as the week's total units divided by the week's total time, but it doesn't. It's not even close in some cases.
A weighted average would
You need to weight your mean with the time for each day.

>>7787849

Right, I understand that's how to arrive at the "proper" number. What I'm having trouble with is understanding why the method above doesn't work.

It makes sense in my head like this:

>Find each day's quarter-hour average: the number of units divided by the time
>Multiply by 4, giving the number of units that would have been produced in 1 hour at that rate

Now, here, I figured the weights would shift from the time to the number of units. Producing 50 units in .25 of an hour is obviously more valuable than 50 in 1, and would be represented by the "50 in .25" becoming 200 in 1; more valuable than 50 in 1.

I figured that if you then averaged those five numbers each at 1/5th value, it should represent a fair average, but it obviously does not.

I'm just having trouble recognizing where my logic has gone wrong. I know it must be in the "units / time" function, but it makes sense in my head. It should effectively give each day an "even playing field" or a common denominator per se, allowing a basic average function to return a proper result.

>>7787526

we'll have to get there to be sure

>>7787526
So many 'what if' threads, or 'wouldn't it be cool if'. We simply DON'T KNOW until we GET THERE, stop asking these damn asinine questions.

>>7787614
science is about questioning

god does not play dice, because the dice is a just an abstraction turned into a conventions, just like math.

of course he doesn't, dice are for fuking 5yo children

>lack of exercises
yeah that will happen, this MIGHT be useful
http://evans.rc.fas.harvard.edu/problems/index.cgi

perhaps the best approach is to look through some notes by a different author
the Boger notes for example
http://bookzz.org/book/2583054/006cd5

>>7787494
Wow, didn't expect an actually helpful answer this fast! Thanks, the lecture notes Approach seems very interesting. Currently going through
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/book/10.1002/9780470199053

seems really good as the contents were literally what we did

only problem is that the exam will be 5 pretty demanding problems in 1 hour, so I'll have recognize shit immediately or I'll be fucked

if a lot is not 1 liter each day, drink it anon. you are already fucked

So explain to me what about Diet Coke is unhealthy. It's just water, flavoring, phosphoric acid, caramel color and aspartame.

>>7787435
just fucking stop drinking soda
it tastes like shit and gives you the worst crashes ever
if you want energy drink coffee or green tea
