fucking circles man, how do they work
>>8746993
Well, the circle in your picture is black and therefore does not work.
>>8747008
dude all circles are the same
>>8747028
Nah, yellow circles work much more than black or brown circles.
Sup /sci/ - engineer-fag here, I need some help here
I need to come up with a mathetical model I can cram into mapple for a wonky little shape here
I just can't figure out how I'm supposed to do this.
its basically for a squished circle that has partially flattened out on the ground.
the top half is an ellipse 0.8 meters high, 2.25 meters to either side.
The bottom half is mainly a long flat stretch with circular ends that meet with the ellipse, radius 1 meter.
I need a mathematical model for this.
I know the model for a circle is (x-h)^2+(y-v)^2=r, with h and v being the horizontal and vertical center point coordinates.
For an ellipse its (x^2)/H + (y^2)/V=1, assuming its centered at (0,0)
how the fuck do I split that up I can model the thing in pic related?
homeworks goes in >>>/hm/
>>8746989
I think I'll pass on that - this board has "math" in the title, I'll stick to that
>>8746984
Use two functions.
First, use an even degree polynomial to model the bottom
Then use an ellipse to model the top

Gone are the days when we had to go to the library everyday or get into study groups with real people in order to learn the subject. But thanks to Google, now this just "google it xD xD" phenomena has infected virtually every aspect of our lives. It actually makes people more autistic because there is no need to ask for advice or help from real people anymore. Not to mention the rise in the number of brainlets.

>You can find thousands blogs on your subject
>You can find thousands articles on your subject
>You can find thousands videos on your subject
>But no dude, thats for brainlets xDDDDDDD Id rather go to libary and waste a lot of time dude xdddd
People in past would pay millions for this much information, you brainlet.
>>8746867
The majority is still to dumb to even google stuff.
And google is a fantastic tool to reduce research time by factors.

So I have something called MALADAPTIVE DAYDREAMING DISORDER [ = ((ADD - OCD)/2)^1000000] which effectively means I CAN'T FUCKING THINK. Whenever I'm doing something ungrounded in the surrounding objects (like thinking as opposed to reading) I can't fucking help but drift away.
Math and physics are my passion, so finally I decided to just skip exercises - which take me fucking forever - and just read the material. Now I'm obviously not planning on being like this forever and am already noticing the effects of meditation, but how much am I missing here? I'm gonna read the solutions to problems as well - at least to pass the fucking tests.
Anybody with the same problem? How are you coping with this shit? I'm not gonna just give up and be miserable doing some bullshit for the rest of my life, I'll tell you that much.
>>unconsciously forced imagination
>Fuck. Do I have this too? I think have this disease too.
>When I am working on problems I constantly think about other things and then stand up and start walking around.
>The only difference is that while distracted my brains seems to be pondering the problem unconciosly so when I come back from walking around I almost always have a solution or something that could take me to a solution.
I doubt it. Maladaptive daydreaming is just like dreaming where what you see is what your unconscious mind is occupied with. Probably you just figure problem out as soon as you're out of the trip, in which case you may be solving easy problems.
Maybe try writing formulas to use while working problems and have the problem written in front of you so you can read over it. I don't really know what to tell you other than work at it and try to condition your mind to work problems. I think the worst thing you could do is give up. Also maybe try rewarding yourself after you finish a problem? A cookie or some shit like that.
Why do you keep making this thread?

Our wait has finally ended! Crash Course has begun to produce a sociology series, and it is a fairly well-informed one.

I have an MS in sociology so I'm hoping they don't screw this up.
I'm doing sociology in college here in UK and it's more like feminist studies than actual sociology ( im 18 of course )

Modern university education:
>Have to configure daily schedule such that one attends a variety of lectures which typically have suboptimal timing
>Have to take a shower and look presentable
>Have to take the time to commute to campus
>Must incur transportation costs to do this
>Increased time on campus elevated food costs as one will inevitably need to buy lunch
>Have to do laundry more frequently, costing time and money
>Arrive at lecture
>Professor isn't prepared
>Peers are loud or smelly or somehow distracting
>Lecture room is uncomfortable
>Professor spends an eternity scrawling some illegible derivation on the blackboard
>Somebody asks some retarded question, wasting more time
>Professor realizes he made a mistake and has to do redo part of the derivation
>The sum of the lecture's material could be learned in much greater detail in less than 20 minutes of attentive reading
>Instead nearly 3 hours of my time is wasted
>Repeat ad infinitum

What happened in that pic would have been a lot less ridiculous if the mother had just calmly picked them up and removed them from the room
>>8746687
this is only true if your a poor faggot going to a shit school though

>>Have to take the time to commute to campus
you haven't experienced shit until you've spent 3-4 hours a day on shitty crowded public transit with smelly homeless nigger monkeys starting raucous commotions

If engineering is a field with high amoubts of intellectuals why can't they design a toilet that doesn't clog everytime I poop?
>>8746549
>he doesn't know about black market toilets
>>8746565
It must be big toilet keeping them secret
It's not just about making an uncloggable toilet, it's about being able to mass produce it and have people be able to buy it. It's also partly plumbing.
Any CRISPR fags here? How many years of studying will it take me to be 100% able to understand to the date discoveries in the field? I've done basic biology/ chemistry, but I'm a physics major already.
I'm just really interested in CRISPR, and I'm curious to know whether or not the time it takes to master this is anywhere near what it would take for CS/Physics/Math etc.
Thanks guys
>>8746519
You need 2nd year and 3rd year molecular bio to start.
I don't think CRISPR is really hard to understand. It's a tool. It goes where you want and cuts where you want. Now, what we do with this tool is what is so important. And be sure we're enabling some cool shit.
>>8746529
Ok. But just give me a rough estimate of how comparable it is to getting a masters in mathematics. Is it as broad as that or more like computer programming? I just need a look into what ill be up against if I decide to start studying this

>This igloo— er, house —is in Webster, New York, just outside of Rochester. The area is one of the snowiest in the country, thanks to freezing winter temperatures and the moisture of the nearby Great Lakes. In the case of this prank of nature, high winds joined in the party and coated the house in layer after layer of ice.

How do i deal with being a brainlet /sci/?
Go into an easy field, like Psychology.

pen autism thread
Favourite pens?
I'm a big fan of the one in pic related
Cheap, really nice for writing maths with. Doesn't leak at all, doesn't spludge the ink, feels smooth but has just the right amount of resistance
all around 10/10 and it only costs like £1 for a packet
