It's a big book. But it is like Steward for Combinatorics (perfect for beginners).

>It's a big book
for you

>>7727557
Thanks, man, but I have read Epp's Discrete Math. Now I'm reading Koh/Chen's "Principles and Techniques in Combinatorics" but it have a disorderly problem set without dividing on (sub)chapters and doesn't deal with some topics like Polya counting, etc.

What are you talking about if anything it's less pronounced

>>7727097
chimps and gorillas don't do that though

fuck that baboon thing.

>>7727086
Excessive lordosis isn't appealing though.

Why are cat ears attractive? Why do people want to fuck greys, if they're in the right mood? Humans will screw anything that fits a certain set of criteria. Humans will sexualize inanimate objects that have no discernible relation to the human form. Though those might act as fetishes.

It's a multifaceted deal.

Because it is unethical. However, you could try moving to China and doing it, or building a secret lab in outer space.

too expensive. Babies take too long to mature.

Do it in rats first.

Oooh, I remember this problem from my Applied Triple Integrals class.

>>7716821
The area of an equilateral triangle of side length x is (x^2)*sqrt(3)/4, so, integrating along the altitude gives you sqrt(3)/12.

Weather forecast

Eroge.

>>7730918
Calculations that are incredibly massive, which can range from realistic graphics simulations (Read the Wiki article over the topic Fast Inverse Square Root), to weather forecasts, to population analysis and pattern recognition.

I avoid courses with exams

>>7730677
Read the course reading. Do practice problems.

Depends on how much I struggled with the material throughout the semester.
Full review for anything with subpar regular exam scores, with a focus on the topics covered by those poor exams.
Something like Chem deserves a full review, whether you think you need it or not, but I honestly didn't have enough time for that this month. It had to take a hit for some math and physics review. I might have just barely gotten a rounded A in the course, if I had scored perfectly on that exam.
The last thing that you want to have rusty concepts for is Calc. You might be able to get by in Physics, but the exam grade won't be anything stellar.
>>7730680
Self-learner, or are you a grad student who gets those lovely "take home exams" that I've heard about?

Just got out of my calc III final

>optimization problem that was hard as fucking nails and math got ugly so gave up even though I was doing it right

>Used Stoke's theorem to find flux on a problem because I'm wee Todd Did

>Got two different answers on the other problem when I was just supposed to verify the answer

fug

So much for getting a B in calc III. You would never know I took calc III at another uni and got an A in it.

Man, fuck University of Colorado's applied math department.

Science may tell you how to clone a T-Rex.

Science tells you what a T-Rex is, and why it could be a bad idea to handle its kid improperly.

Science could tell you how to handle T-Rex specimens.

Humanities use concepts and tools discovered and/or invented by science and try to feel relevant when they are not.

>>7722744
>What would be your concerns or what attracts you to concentrating on both science and the humanities in an undergrad program.
I would be concerned about having to completely waste my time taking humanities courses.

OP here playing devil's advocate.

>>7722780

Charles Weiner believes the sciences and humanities have become separated to the point that

"...future physicians must be more humanistic with additional skills in critical analysis, communication, and teamwork. The new MCAT being introduced this year addresses these cultural changes. The expectations of incoming medical students are becoming much broader to include cross-cultural studies, ethics, philosophy, and a range of humanities studies—all with the goal to produce more well-rounded physicians.”

This is from the JHU article. Also from the guy heading the new major.

>>7722803

This would totally mean more hours and money.

But I think the humanities are great. I don't mind literature and history and learning another language. I could see reading about cases where science has been questionably ethical. I could also see this program as a way for researchers to work towards publishing their papers.

This just seems like a formal major saying you'd be good at international relations.

Because you cannot fool all of the people all the time.

the politicians who are "skeptical" arent really skeptical. they have an audience/voter to cater to. those voters and their communities are the ones involved in and have jobs in oil, coal and natural gas; all the white trash hillbilly white folk who are retardicans. they have to take the opposing side to stay in power.

>>7716380
>Nobody important actually disagrees with me, they're just pretending to.

Pretty sure Cruz and others truly do not believe it.

To be honest I don't think it's as alarming an issue as it was talked about. Warming hasn't been occurring at the rate scientists were once predicting. Not even close to it.

No, go with nuclear. Or invest in tidal power

the good
>they can take the load of some powerplants

The bad
>ugly as fuck, destroys the view of landscapes
>it cant work without wind
>too much wind can burn it out
>very high price to build it
>it has a lot of materials that are probably from china where they dont give a fuck about nature
>it cost a lot to maintain it.


Nuclear is still the only real solution to all our problems.

>>7728978
Solar would be a better investment.

>>7727897
Oh man, please fuck off. I don't think I can take this anymore.

And take your fucking meme science man with you

You challenge the wisdom of Niel? Be gone heretic.

>I compare a general purpose, slow to execute, fast to code, super high level language to a specific purpose, lower-level, matrix-computation optimized language unironically

kill yourself desu senpai

>>7727226
Not OP, but it's well known that Python's array capabilities are only slightly slower than Matlab while Cython optimized array calculations (which most scientific distros of Python have built into the interpreter) are much faster than Matlab.

Also Python is faster to code in general.

I love MATLAB, but there is a good reason that Academia is jumping ship to Python.

Also we're all freetards by heart.
