it doesnt have to be like this. you CAN live a happy life without math if youd just give it a chance

I can't stress enough that I'm not trolling. It's 8:30 am here and I woke up with nothing else going on and bizarrely motivated. I'm just looking to learn.

I understand nothing about math and I do algorithm research for a living. You're gonna be alright.

I think it's a fucking pain in the ass because I'm stuck on the first problem of my metalogic homework. Proving shit within a language is just easy rubiks cube puzzle shit where you shuffle stuff around; anyone who's smart enough to do basic algebra can do that, but proving things about formal languages themselves is just fucking weird because I'm never sure if I'm essentially just begging the question. I don't get why I can just whip up a language to talk about the language I just whipped up, it feels like I'm just kicking the can down the road.

prtty much god tier.
It's why linguistics is better than math.
Symbolism and semantics

>Why does /sci/ hate popsci?

I mean it's good for getting people into an extremely basic level of science. Beyond that it's just awful awful. Too much hand waving to be useful yadayada.

The general public is not gonna read a book on science and say, "Oh shit creationism IS retarded". Overall it's just useless circlejerking for comp sci undergrads who got a c in calc I cause they forgot the quotient rule on the final exam.

You don't know that. Theres a correlation between education and creationism.

>Does anyone know a simple way to manipulate x(1-x) to get a double humped function such that f(x) still equals 0 at x=0 and x=1?
How about multiplying x(1-x) by a function that doesn't diverge at 0 or 1 or adding a function that also vanishes at 0 or 1?

[math] (c\,x^n)^2 \cdot \left( 1 - x^{2n} \right)^k [/math]

You are suggesting you want symmetry but havent explicitly said you want -1 as a root. It isnt going to work with something like x^m*(1-x)^n, because it will have terms with an odd power and so wont have symmetry. As long as you delete the +0.2 from the function in the picture it seems to have everything you want.

No, this is retarded. One member cannot have "more evolution" than another member of the same species.

>daily reminder that racism has ZERO biological basis

>>8704403
Evolution takes much much longer than a few generations to obtain any noticeable results. Furthermore not all mutations are improvements, the vast majority are detrimental to the organism. In a day and age where natural selection has been removed from human society, the only further evolutions will be on the basis of preference, not survival. So even if what you were saying was true, being more "evolved" today has less to do with being better at anything and, more to do with being too stupid to use birth control. We need to abolish government assistance programs, or at least vastly shorten the duration you are allowed to use them. Its cruel yes, but in the long run we are doing the species a huge disservice by keeping human parasites alive and reproducing.

What an incredibly pointless question

How could you possibly think this was thought-provoking or in any way worthwhile?

I'm so fucking mad right now

Dopamine is a phenetylamine. Methamphetamine is a phenetylamine. Dopamine presses the fun button in your brain.

VERY interesting to play. As soon as you feel like 'you get it' it fucks your head again. If you have them VR headset give it a run.

I just gave it a go and wow, when I thought I got it, it just straight up does something unexpected right afterwards. I guess I'm too much of a brainlet to fully comprehend the child prodigies who can think in a 4 dimensional way.

>>8704089
You can kind of develop /some/ thinking. Read the site, it gave me lots of insight. In and out are a whole new dimension.

is that John Nash?

I don't even know how to converse with math majors. When I find out someone's a math major, I literally freeze to find a topic to share with that person but cannot think of any so I just end up not associating with that person

people of weak character and low intelligence need spirituality as a safety blanket against feelings of worthlessness and nihlism
