Why would you steal glassware that you don't even know what the fuck it's used for.

glass tube, bulbous glass tube, also glass tube. holding liquids.

I've seen that one in the middle used in bongs Don't know why though.

you idiot you dont divide by 0

you would destroy the universe if you do that.

Making college pretty much free? I agree in the sense that college is really fucking expensive these days, but totally creating a system where higher education is dirt cheap doesn't sound that great either. More and more people will be going for college and getting degrees, thus, devaluing the worth of them.

>>7702665
I mean it's not like they haven't already. I honestly wouldn't care about the worth of the degree, just having cheaper resources/educations is better for humanity in general.

>>7702665

>Thus devaluing the worth of them.
It's not about you, though. If you think increasing the overall intelligence/education of an entire nation (or world for that matter) is bad in the long wrong you have a serious problem with how your perceive what a degree is about.

depends on who controls it

pretty dangerous tbqh family

but why would you want to do that? I mean we have hydrogen bombs now.

Op here and if you want a reason why I think the weapon can be much more lethal though and a late yield nuke can be good for taking down HQS and terrorist groups Ex: Isis

And since your image gave me a sensible chuckle, I guess will answer your question...
I have an MSCE and I'm a computer programmer.
The culture is... pretty much 100% male I guess... full of awkward guys who make pretty good money.

>physics
Set of weird cunts who like Popsci, think they are fucking geniuses and always dog on engineers, art students, biologists, chemists, mathematician and basically anyone who isn't a physicist.
Professors and lecturers are usually chill though

two buckets of water has twice the heat content as one bucket of water even though they're all at the same temperature.

>>7702008
>>7702042
Yes, intensive property vs extensive property.

What the guy above said. Temperature doesn't go with quantity - look uo "intensive" variable. Also, kelvin is a spooky unit, consider it to be the same as energy, there is only the arbitrary Boltzmann constant in the way. This bts. Makes entropy unitless, as it should be. Its a combinatorical quantity.

What does it mean for two objects to be close?

Not a topologist, but if you ever study non-foundational math, you'll find that topology is ubiquitous.

A solid introductory graduate course in topology will quickly reveal how much of the, say analysis, you've done was actually topology, with only a few concepts being truly unique to analysis, like, say, integration.

I know very little of algebraic topology, but I do know that whenever you couple algebra with something, you're looking to find a way to perform computations with a new type of object. Hence, algebraic topology applies algebraic methods to topological problems. Why is this useful? I'd imagine because once you can apply algebra, you can apply computers.


Beyond that, Topology is beginning to find a place in applied mathematics, particularly statistics where high dimensional data is involved. Topological methods are being developed to try and extract information about the shape of the data..

You need to remember that this is a very new branch of math, and that it wasn't even in a condition to be formally taught at most universities in the early/mid 1900s.

Solving Artificial Intelligence

>>7701993
use law of cosines to solve for angle C and then use law of sines to solve for angle A, and from there use ambiguous case of law of sines

Make a Pythagorean triangle or do the law of sins.

sinA/ a = sinB / b = sinC / c

It's not too hard, anon.

a^2+b^2=c^2. Draw a line from C to the center of c making two 90° angles. Now you have a^2=1/2b^2+the new line^2

>>7701737
yes

check honda exo legs

they got neat designs

>>7701755
I heard that its more likely this kinda thing will be used to help really old people get around easier, earlier than it will be for manual labor

>>7701774
They started testing them in some japanese hospitals around 2013, but that's the last thing I can find for them, it's like they've dropped off the face of the earth

How complex are walk assist devices, anyways?

bump?

>>7701715
at first glance it doesn't look like momentum is conserved. Remember, light has momentum too!

>>7701798
Yeah, that's why beam-riding (on the left) works, right?
The photon transfers some of its momentum to the atom.
For things with mass, p=m*v, so it increases the atom's velocity.
For photons and other massless particles, p=E/c, and E=hv (where v is the frequency), so the photon's frequency decreases.

In my diagram on the right, I guess I'm asking if an atom emitting a photon gives it momentum, through a decrease in the energy of the atom.
Lasers work by using photons to cause excited electrons in atoms to release light of a similar phase and energy, right? When a laser releases a collimated beam, does it give it momentum because of the photons leaving it?

It's not part of blueobelisk....

But it's GNU PUBLIC LISCENSE, so it's allright! I'll have to check it out. Personally I use avogadro. Nanoengineer is pretty cool too, but I can't get the GUI to work on GNU\Linux.

What is that monstrosity?

>>7701639
It was me attempted to build a polypeptide from scratch... Things didn't go well and it ended fusing with two other peptide chains by mistake(The bonds were too close to eachother.)

whats hard about dis?

>not using synthetic division
>not taking stimulants

If you ever want to get your hands on raw scientific data you should know how to handle it, and a thorough understanding of probability is the basis of that.

Other than that countless applications in economics and such.

>OP sucks 10 dicks a day from a pool of 100 men of varying race
>if there are 23 black men in the pool what is the probability that OP sucks at least 2 black dicks a day

seems useful to me

>>7701455
That's only more proof that it's useless as the computation will give a probability < 1

Algebra is worse. Fucking commutative diagrams!

Analysis is kinda dry (at least what I had to take for my physics degree). The proofs are mostly either formulaic or completely unintitive and sort of mechanical.

>hating analysis
all of the shitty people in my first year class hate analysis. Honestly, if you can't at least pass basic measure theory/functional analysis you don't deserve to be a mathematician.

There are definitely more interesting fields than entry level real analysis, though, and some of the theorems are a bit dry.
