Taken analysis, abstract algebra, set theory. What kind of math is required to study analysis of algorithms? Any good text book recommendations or videos?

It's a set of rules for elementary school kids, largely irrelevant since you'd typically use a fraction bar for the problem in pic related to be less confusing.

take big problem
break it into a bunch of little problems that can be solved in your head
boom, you now know common core.

Hi all there, I've just read an article on the wendelstein x 7 nuclear fusion reactor and it brought me back all my curiosity for atom's nucleusis, radioactive decay and fission. Now I'm looking forward to gain a better understaing of nuclear fusion and plasma. I'm actually at second year of chemical engineering and I'd like to know if you can suggest me some books about the arguments stated above, all of them. Doesn't matter if there's a title which is too difficult, I'll be glad to know and I might keep that for the future.
Plus, if any italian fellow know any book written in italian it would be much appreciated too.
Also, general Nuclear fusion thread.

So why does /sci/ hate philosophy and philosophers so much?

It doesn't. We routinely have threads on the philosophy of science.
If you're hurt that people tell you to fuck off, maybe what you're putting forward isn't philosophy, but senseless babble.
It's like when people tell popscientists babbling about quantum magic to fuck off. It's not that they hate science and scientists so much, they hate meaningless drivel.

>>7724518
like 95% of philosophy majors are pre-law(read: useless) and therefore not /sci/ related in any way. nobody even talks about it. good luck finding a philosophy major that is also a maths double major or something.

I believe Knuth has a section somewhere in TAOCP.
>>
Recommending: Wooldridge's Introductory Econometrics. It's a good starter book for anyone who has a little bit of stats experience. For an introductory book, it's very broad, and should be useful for someone looking for a good self study book. Covers time series as will.
Request: Just finished a calculus based introductory probability and statistics class. Where do I go from here if I want to delve deeper into probability?

This is a bit of a neuroscience question. It bothers me because it's something that has just resumed happening. And it's irritating. If I'm dealing with an uncomfortable situation, strangers, or something I find unnerving, If I attempt to make eye contact or move my head towards someone my neck does this stuttering thing. Like my mind is shutting down, or having some pulse-like seizure deal at the mere idea of making eye contact. Otherwise I feel fine, can converse properly, but there's like a radius. And if I move my eyes within that radius of someone's face, it happens.
Factors to bear in mind:
-Food allergies. Ate some shit recently and this has probably resulted in the elevation of histamine.
-Caffeine consumption.
-Ate a lot of cocoa beans (salsolinol, endocannabinoid reuptake inhibitors, flavan-3-ols etc)
The latter two tested independently do not result in the above, nor do they when together. That leaves the first. Unfortunately I don't know much about IgG, IgA, or IgE reactions, nor the full extent of histamine and inflammatory processes ability to act as modulatory neurotransmitters etc.
Please help me downregulate this lust to understand.

It has to be the coconut I ate. It's as though it reopened the gates, and I'm back in a land of strange anxieties I falsely believed I had gotten rid of, worked passed, understood and reconciled, whatever. It's all an illusion. A machine easily mistakes its own operation to be more the result of intrinsic factors than it really is.
Fucked for life. So I just need to understand.
>>7724369
I don't think there exists a true self, but some selves are more you than others in a given context. I try.
I feel only partly conscious. Wired, fully aware, stressed, calm, and part asleep. How can this be? Any recommended reading material? I mean truly good textbooks on neuro-anatomy, neurology, neurochemistry. Etc. Something that wants to act as the proxy to tell the reader everything there is to be heard. Any other teaching style and I will find myself fighting the author.

>When methylene blue was tested in healthy cells that were allowed to progress at the normal rate, the chemical also repaired the age-related damages. The findings were published in the Aging Cell journal on Dec. 10.
How should I start applying methylene blue to age less? Should I apply it on the scalp to prevent balding? Should I just smear it all over myself?

Yes.

sound transfers mechanical energy through the air. Light transfers em radiation through space.

Why do they both wave?
Also, is there a sound equivalent of Ultraviolet? Can you be harmed by sound radiation?

yipe. that's difficult. You mean
y'(t) = y(sin(t)) + 3 ?

>>7725894
do you mean y(sin t) as in function y of sin t, or y times sin t?

Question regarding the philosophy of science.
Is the scientific method in use today "optimal"? How much of it is arbitrary compromises with practicality?
How much of it will change 100 years from now? 200?
What kind of scientific method would an advance extraterrastrial civilization have and how much would it differ from ours and in what ways?
