What part of science do you love?

A huge part of being a scientist is writing tedious scientific reports and begging for funding

>>7639003
I can't think of anything I like about science at the moment. I've been burned the fuck out by science. It has it's moments, but I never go on /sci/ besides for stuff like this. I don't give a fuck about "science literature" or tv shows or anything like that. I don't spend my free time studying cosmology.

And just to clear things up, most people who study CompSci in Uni go into software engineering. I'm not really looking at going into Academia (and not that I'm interested in working in indstry either).

>>7639014
Then why would you do science? There's money in other areas too (finance/biz/skilled tradesman)

Tbh, most Compsci guys go into programming which is pretty different from what a scientist/ engineer would do. If you like programming stick with it

what kind of shitty teacher gives this type of problem out

Just use Wolfram Alpha theorem

Shameless bump #1

>>7638893
>can sometimes produce minor amounts of syn addition
Who told you it does?

It's directly from the lab report questionnaire. I also have seen it mentioned online, and explained inadequately.

Sign me up!

Whatever will give you prestige and status in the world, go for it.

But you'll probably just teach

just smoke some weed

>>7638749
That's a bit vague.
Anyway, after you have finished reading something, you can try solving the exercises at the end of the chapter. It can actually makes you deepen your understanding. Doing exercises is what you should have done anyway.
If you are not used to reading, then for most of the time, your thinking process will be really skewed and limited. There are things that can be seen only when you do exercise (i.e. work you brain more than reading).

Study high
Take test high
Get high scores

Interested not interested senpai

As a black person who is relatively involved in academics, I'm not impressed. He's a "pop-sci" figure. He doesn't actually make discoveries or create anything novel; he just reads and parrots.

The physicist whose life goal is to build a time machine to reconnect with his deceased father is way more inspiring

>>7638652
Pretty sure about this, but not completely. With your notation, a point (a, b) would become
b * e ^ a*i
= b (cos(a) + i * sin(a))
so in your example,
(pi/2, 1) => 1 * e ^ (pi * i / 2)
= cos(pi/2) + i * sin(pi/2)
= i
= 0 + 1i
for a general function f, its representation at a point x is given from applying the above formula to (x, f(x)).
(x, f(x))->f(x) * e ^ x * i
= f(x)(cos(x) + i * sin(x))

>>7638665

thx. what's the reasoning for multiplying by b (or by f(x) in the last example)?

>>7638685
That's the part that was making me not completely sure. It's a system consistent with the example you gave, but I'm not sure it's correct.
I'm thinking that f(x) will be the magnitude of the complex vector and x will be the vector's angle.

>>7638452
No, it's also an element.

>>7638452
Yep just like the EM drive.

Nope, it's a viable alternative to uranium/plutonium plants. The only reason that it's not as popular is that building a nuclear power plant costs a lot of money and the companies building them need huge subsidies from the government to start. And the politicians don't want their names to be associated with nuclear because it makes them unpopular.

Yup, the hippies ruined this for us.

>>7638432
0. People think I died but I just forgot to take my amphetamines.

Prof at my school I aaaaaaaaaalmost published with has erdos number 2.

I'm still fucking pissed that never panned out.

>>7638438
it's alright, erdos number over time is a decreasing function anyways now that the great air dish is dead

>>7638364
Bump for interest. I also want to know if it's worth it to go into amateur EM drive research

It's very hard for a double fracture to ever heal completely. that pic looks like leaves. what do you think?

>>7638321
I don't know, hence why I am asking. Just wondering if something like this is possible to fix without amputation.

That would not be treatable; amputation is a must.
Our regenerative capabilities are limited.

>stopped accelerating and went at a "negative" (Downward) constant velocity ***

wtf
you would just free fall

draw a goddamn FBD like they do in high school

Are you trying to push light with your mirror? Because that's called blue-shifting.

>>7638211
snapping the wrist what way?
if you are trying to impart the force onto the light which you can't do then you are an idiot.

No, the information has changed, not the path of photons

>>7638185

Are you the same person making this thread every day?

You're literally watching VSauce right now.
