Exactly my thoughts anon, but how to achieve that, is another question

You just edit your hosts file. Also you can put filters in your router if its good enough.

If you are truly paranoid you might contact your ISP to block a website for you.

> I don't want to be able to download chrome and access all my distracting websites
Does that mean you're not using chrome?

If that's the case, install Chrome and uninstall your current browser.
Then look for an extension to Chrome that blocks sites (you can find one easily), block all your "distracting sites" AND block all the sites that allow you to download other browsers.

Isn't physics just mathematics?

Isn't mathematics just applied philosophy?

Plumbing is easier because as humans we know gravity constantly. Therefore we relate the construction of gravity related devises with less brain activity than a subject like electricity in which we do not have a constant relationship with.

>If electrical engineering is in STEM, why isn't plumbing?

It is -- it's called Chemical Engineering.

You can get jobs at Boeing, Lockheed, and the like though. You did pick mech E because you liked it right?

I'm in aero engineering undergrad. I'd like to work and live in alaska or some other rural place. is this possible?

>>9146738
I did but I doubt working there is as fun as at Google and Facebook. Plus I doubt they pay their employees as much.

>language has limits
I disagree with this postulate.

I thought math was a language until I had a Haitian math professor who barely spoke English and myself and like 3/4ths of the class dropped out or failed.

>>9146125
Think of the biggest number you can think of. Now add 1 to that number. That number is the limit of math.

Algebra by Gelfand to re-do elementary algebra. It's in the /sci/ wiki. There's also Thomas' Calculus w/Analytic Geometry (3rd edition). It's an old 1960s book that is absolutely amazing, the 4th edition is very good too if you can find it.

There's also "What is Mathematics" by Courant and is pretty much GOAT for covering everything elementary in Topology, Number Theory, Algebra, Calculus ect. You can get an excellent and well motivated introduction to reasonably rigorous calculus using limits in this book in less than a 100 pages, up to the point of understanding basic differentiation and integration, the exponential function, power series etc.

A mathematician I work with is adamant that anybody interested in math should not start with Calculus and instead should do Halmos' Naive Set Theory which is a totally rigorous development of ZF set theory with discussion on the meaning and equivalent statements of AC. They should then try Introduction to Calculus and Analysis I by Courant so it will finally make sense to them.

>>9144862
> Halmos' Naive Set Theory which is a totally rigorous
Wrong. Halmo's is a great starter book, and one of the first I read when beginning my undergrad, but it is not rigorous since he applies formal logic in a hand wavy way (specially problematic when you think of what propositions are acceptable within the specification axiom etc)

Analysis: Baby Rudin
Algebra: Herstein or Lang's undergraduate text

I don't care about geometry at all so can't help you there. After reading these three books you will be done with all undergrad material in these areas.

>>9144689
some advice for you and undergrads in general: there's no one textbook that will teach you everything you need to know for the "next level", and there's no point starting at the bottom. this is what immature students often try to do. you will never be able to learn everything, so don't try.

instead, if you know you want to work in math, find a paper you want to understand (preferably with guidance of a professor) and work towards learning what you need in order for you to understand it. start at the top and work down

I can tell from the buzzwords and flashy design that it's a scam.

This.

Might as well have said they have a way to turn lead into gold

Even if they had access to the Large Hadron Collider, it would still take an incredibly large amount of time to actually transmute a substantial amount of atoms to be able to register, so the transmutation is pretty much bullshit (unless they do it just to isolate small groups of a single element, and even then, there's pretty much no scientific use for that.) I can only guess that the second half of that sentence is talking about the isolation of a single type of isotope, which is incredibly expensive (hundreds of millions of dollars for even a few kilograms of a single isolated isotope), and, while possible, has pretty much no value to most people. I wouldn't trust it. There are probably way bigger names in the isolation industry that this company (I'm no isotope separation expert, but I'm pretty sure Urenco would be better suited to do that).

That is the idea.

I read an interesting idea
>buy single lottery ticket
>set bomb to go off if I don't win

The issue is that if I do win, the result would be inconclusive...

Play Russian Roulette. Jack off to the idea of affixing the word "quantum" to what you're doing. See if you successfully achieve orgasm.

>If you take the Fourier transform (the unitary, ordinary frequency variety) of 1/|x|^s
how does this converge?

>>9148902
How would you know?

>>9148924
It converges for 0 < s < 1 (the critical strip). Now if we were to assume that the same relation holds outside the critical strip, this is where "1 + 2 + 3 ... = -1/12" comes from.

>Why is social science less "scientific" than natural science
because social "scientists" don't use the scientific method

Because it's far too complicated to form a sufficiently-reduced set of axioms and have well-formed logic produce any tangible results.

>>9148749
would you argue that social science is simply less advanced than natural science, due to higher complexity of the problems?

>I'm talking about the extraction and creation of things such as brick, glass,
So cocaine and meth?


I want in

If you're tallking about brick and stonework than yeah it would be geology.

>>9148682
Mechanics of Material, materials engineering do steel. The Textile Engineers do glass and brick, but so do Civil Engineers.
>marble granite sandstone
Quarrys will usually keep a geologist on staff
