Do you guys still mess around with actual paper, or have you went fully digital already?

i have gone fully digital

I really like wood and paper for drawing and modeling.
Recently learnt how exactly an old windmill works this way
>>
Mostly, though its very recent.

I still prefer paper for taking notes, I feel I retain it better, and it just feels more natural to me. But I've started doing all my homework in Latex after working out the problem on a whiteboard. I already spent way too much time writing on paper trying to make my shitty handwriting look neat, only for it to look like shit anyway, and I already know latex well, and figured it would impress the normies.

Any medfags here? Is it actually worth it to go to medical school?

>>8664986
every single doctor i've ever talked to says that they would never push their kid into medicine, or even casually recommend it, because it sucks that much. You won't make anything until your late 30s at the earliest, and you will never work less than 45 hours per week for your entire career even in the most relaxed specialties like dermatology.

If you don't SPECIFICALLY want to help people in the way a DOCTOR does it, then don't do it, for your own sake.

Okay, so throughout the Earths history, the planet has both heated up and cooled down many times(even in the couple thousand years) right?
How do we know that this time it is different, and humans are causing it with greenhouse gases and shit, and it's not just a natural cycle of the earth and we are just along for the ride?

Climate change explained, and the myths debunked: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL82yk73N8eoX-Xobr_TfHsWPfAIyI7VAP
Just watch this entire playlist. Citations are always included.
>>
long story short: the global temperature has never changed this much this quickly in all of earth's history
we "know" that humans are causing it because there's currently no other plausible explanation.
"the sun did it", "god did it" and "these things just happen" are not plausible when considering the scale of the change and its rapid onset
The next best candidate for non-anthropogenic climate change would be an explanation that it's somehow geological; like volcanoes or some shit. But there doesn't seem to be much research on that angle yet. The body of research is growing, though.

Hi sci, i´ve been reading a little bit about how reals are constructed from rationals, and i´m wondering if it´s possible to develop first a non-discrete or continuum mathematical structure and from there derive the discrete structures like the natural numbers.
13 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>8664819
Very good question!

HoTT would suggest that continuous space-like structures are actually more fundamental than discrete ones. But as far as I know you still have to explicitly define a natural numbers type, which is not exactly what you're asking. You could also define Z as the fundamental group of the circle.

N can also be defined as the least subset of R containing 1 and closed under adding 1, assuming that you already have R (e.g. in the second order theory of R). There is probably more to say on the question though.
>>
Consider the x intercepts of sin(x). Sin(x) is itself a function existing in continuous space but it's x intercepts can be used to count discretely.
>>
>>8664877
HoTT? sorry, i´m still new to mathematical analysis, could you give me sources where i can get more information about my question?

its 50/50, in the probability space either you pass or you dont

Each question = 25% chance of good answer
20 question = 25%^20 = 9,09*10^-13

so imagine if test have 12 questions and yes or no only, and you answered 6 question correct,then how many chances you had to answer 6 of them correct

I have a meeting with him next Monday morning. I'm literally shaking. I have double checked everything and am pretty sure my experiment was done right. Even got some 1st year students to work on it without letting them know what it was they were doing, but the results check out. I'm worried my discovery may upset some startup memes my professor is directly invested in.
>>
Generally, if you think you've disproved some major element of a field of study, you're probably wrong.

That said, you NEED to talk to someone about it. If you're right, this is a major discovery. And if you're wrong it's an opportunity to correct your understanding of the science.

Rather than approaching the lead in this area, if you're worried you could always go to another scientist to verify your data/math/whatever before talking to the expert.

No center has volume, as the center is a point and points don't have volume.
But they surely exist.

You actually don't have to go that far. In the mathematical prescription electrons also don't have any volume. Would you say they don't exist?

a function is a set
a series is a sum

you can turn some series into functions by singling out a variable, i.e. [math]\sum_{n\geq 0} n^{-2}= \frac{\pi^2}{6} [/math] is just a series but [math] \zeta(s)=\sum_{n\geq 0} n^{-s} [/math] is the Riemann zeta function

shoulda been [math] n\geq 1 [/math] obviously
>>
>>8664360
so a series is simply a number where the approach to summation is the defining quality? and a function is simply an algebraic transformation that can take any value? i feel like such a fool thinking there was a deeper connection simply because of the summation.

Some foods are faster than others. For example sanics are super duper fast so they when you eat them they will beat all the other foods and reach your butthole first.

There are no numbers other than the naturals

Prove me wrong
31 posts and 5 images submitted.
>>
>>8664245
Well we have to start with some rules of discourse, I assume you allow the rules of set theory and classical logic. Now, start with the assumption that anything that can be constructed with these rules and the natural numbers are also numbers.

We construct the rational numbers as so:

[math]S = \left{(x,y) \in \mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N} | y \neq 0 \right} [/math]

Then the set of rational numbers are the equivalence classes of the set [math]S[/math], under the relation

[math](a,b) \simeq (c,d) \iff ad = bc [/math]

One such equivalence class is:

[math]\left{(1,2), (2,4), (3,6), \dots \right} [/math] corresponding to the rational number which we denote by [math]\frac{1}{2}[/math]
>>
>>8664257
Just to clean things up, I mean
[math]S = \{(x,y) \in \mathbb{N} \times \mathbb{N} | y \neq 0 \} [/math]
and

[math]\{(1,2), (2,4), (3,6), \dots \} [/math]
>>
>>8664245
Unironically I agree. In reality there are only natural numbers, one half of an apple is an half apple, not one half of one apple.
