Let's say, hypothetically speaking (>_>...<_<), you lived in an attic that is 3 stories high.
What would be the most safest and low cost solution to getting out of the window on to the ground (inb4 jumping)? I was thinking of some sort of pulley system that is attached to the inside of the window that hands out a small platform that can be lowered with a rope brake.
Or maybe I should just grapple out. I don't know.

i have had 2 (two) clear chest x-rays in the last 3 but my symptoms are as follows-
complete lack of appetite, never feel hungry
phlegm cough in the morning
headaches and hip pain (Indicative of metastasis)
really don't think x-ray is all that good and i'm convinced i have lung cancer, but i can't afford to go private for a ct on the nhs and doctors don't think i have it so i cant get it on nhs. what do i do?

Uh oh, it looks like you're human. I'm afraid that the condition is fatal and has a 100% mortality rate.
Also consider this: you've been posting about this for, what, six months now? If you actually had advanced metastatic cancer, don't you think you would have gotten a lot sicker in that amount of time than you currently are?

What are some interesting math branches to learn on my own. I recently learned Calculus for my Calc BC AP, and actually enjoyed it quite a bit. What are some other math fields that are equally interesting and will teach me a lot. I have taken an interest (but have not started learning) in topology and analysis.
What are some others you faggots would recommend to a brainlet, who wishes to unbrainlet himself. Also post examples from each sub-branch of math, so that I can get a feel of it.
Math branches I know of, and have a slight interest about:
- Topology
- Analysis
- Number theory
Also, quick challenge, what function is the pic the Taylor expansion of?

If you liked calc BC, you'll like differential equations and complex analysis.

Differential equations was actually a part of the material to study. Probably not on a very high level.
Can you give an example of complex analysis?
If we are to assume that the universe came from essentially nothing and a random chance, then there is no meaning to life. But it's truly remarkable that life exists and that reality allows life to persist and flourish. There will be a day where all the life on earth is dead, and hopefully by then we will have harnessed the hidden powers of nature to travel to distant galaxies to populate other planets.

Why did we go from earth straight to "distant galaxies" for fuck's sake?

Meanwhile there is 100,000,000,000 stars in our own.

No. But they might know that there is a rocky planet that could have liquid water and an atmosphere.

Hey guys, I think this might be the right place for this.
I'm 35 years old and going to college in 2018. Yeah I know, I'm old and late to the party but I had no choice.
My dad died when I was 15 and with 2 little siblings at home, my mom just couldn't cope so I had to get a job. I was lucky because I found a decent one at a car dealership as a mechanics apprentice and I kept it until now but it was never what I wanted to do - it just paid the bills. Between me and my mom we managed to send both my siblings to college and now they've come back to finance my higher education. I've always been interested in math, even when I was in school math was one of the subjects I loved.
So to my topic, do you guys have any tips for an old dude majoring in math? Similar stories? What should I be aware or mindful of?
Basically anything that might prove useful in my studies is welcome. I know I'll be 15-ish years older than my future classmates but the way I see it, I've still got maybe 30 years, probably more in a field I'll actually be interested in and wanting to do. That's 30 years I don't want to spend as a mechanic.
Thanks a bunch in advance.

If you're going back to college to secure a higher income and better future for yourself, switch to engineering. You need a phd in maths to actually work in the field, which means you'd be done by 44, at minimum. Add in another 2 years of post grad-work, and yourenow 46 and just starting to look for a tenure track position, which youlll probably never secure. You'll float around in adjunct positions for a few years and then retire on a low social security rate. Keep in mind all of this is assuming you hve the grades to make it into a graduate program and actually succeed in finishing the phd (and many do not). As an engineer you're entering the work force at 39, which is still late, but doable. You can be licensed by 45 and have a solid twenty year long career.

>>8923553
Besides that, nursing is also a great option for late starters. Not as glamorous as STEM, but they make a decent wage and outside of a hospital setting, sit on their butts 24/7. If you go to a 2 year graduate program after you can increase your income by 40-50k/year. If you want to study maths solely for the study of maths, go for it, op, but realize most who finish a bachelors in maths are not able to get into a grad program, and those who do have a high fail out rate. You'll probs end up teaching, making less than you do as a mechanic

Writing schizofrenia instead of schizophrenia I am afraid.

Increased dopamine levels or dopamine sensitivity.
There's a relationship between blinking and dopamine activity.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6640274/
So people with schizophrenia may blink less or not at all, but that's hardly an accurate predictor.

ITT I will try to solve (and in fact solve) all the Millennium Prize Problems one by one. I will do so by a new proof technique that has been proved to be quite powerful. It combined homothopy theory with algebraic geometry. Having said that, the proof technique itself is elementary though. So, let's go ahead.
1. [math] \displaystyle P=NP [/math]
By definition, polynomila algorithms admit decomposition in chains of smaller polynomial algorithms. Consequently, polynomial time algorithms do not solve problems where blocks, whoose order is the same as the underlying problem, require simultaneous resolution. Thus, in fact [math] \displaystyle P \neq NP [/math]
2. Hodge conjecture
Assuming that if a compact Kähler mainfold is complex-analytically rigid, the area-minimizing subvarieties approach complex analytic subvarieties. The set of singularities of an area-minimizng flux is zero in measure. The rest it left to the reader as an easy routine excersize.
3. Riemann hypothesis
This is a simple experimental fact. [math] \displaystyle 10^{13} [/math] roots of the Riemann hypothesis have been already tested and it suffices for all practical applications. In fact, one state a suitable statistical hypothesis and check it on the sample of, say, [math] \displaystyle 10^5 [/math] roots.
4. Yang–Mills existence and mass gap
Well, discrete infinite bosonic energy-mass spectrum of gauge bosons under Gelfand nuclear triples admits non-perturbative quantization of Yang-Mills fields whence the gauge-invariant quantum spectrum is bounded below. A particular consequence is the existence of the mass gap.
5. Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness
(To be continued)

I haven't worked this one in such detail, but observing that
[math] \displaystyle \| L (u, v) \| ^ 2 = \sum_{n \ge 25} u ^ 2_ {2n} v ^ 2_ {2n +1} / n ^ 2 \le C\|(u_n/\sqrt n)\|_4^2 \|(v_n/\sqrt n)\|_4^2 \le C\|(u_n/\sqrt n)\|_2^2 \|(v_n/\sqrt n)\|_2^2 = C \left (\sum u ^ 2_ {n} / n \right) \left (\sum v ^ 2_ {n} / n \right) [/math]
one can easily find at leat one closed-form solution applying the bubble integral. In the equation, [math] \displaystyle L [/math] is a bilinear operator.
6. Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture
The problem with former attempts has been in the way elliptic curves have been dealt with. But this really admits a proof with a computer by checking the (finitely many) categories of curves.
I also have a simpler than Perelman's proof of the Poincare conjecture, but it's not worth the prize anymore

Why do we use Calories as a measure of energy that humans derive from food?
A calorie is the energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water through 1 °C.
The process of human metabolism is totally different to combustion, so why is this used as a marker for food energy?
