Do you guys still mess around with actual paper, or have you went fully digital already?
>>8665017
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.
>>8664986
>Is it worth it
What do you mean by "it", Peasant?
>>8665577
Going to medical school to become a doctor. Bruh, the post was like the sentence after next.
Civilization is the process of converting natural resources into waste.

Waste is a natural resource as well.

Yes, goes to peak oil forums.
What if I grow plants with my poo did I reverse entropy
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.

We know it's caused by fossil fuels because of the carbon isotope released by them.
What is the best way to learn brainlets

What do you mean by reretition?
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.
>>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?
>tinder match with a student who is in a class I TA

>She's really cute
I wanna go for it but this is haram. Any one here had/seen similar situations? If she's not in my section it's fine, right?
just never grade her assignments and you should be fine
technically you can influence your buddy. there are much more in life than pussies. i'd avoid these situations any day.
>>8664622
That's a good point, so I can't just assume that everything is fine because she's not in my section
I guess I'll stay my dick
Imagine you`r doing test which have 20 questions, and have 4 possibilities to answer, A),B),C),D) How many chances that you pass test 100% answering all random? Help me mathematicians
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
>>8664572
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
Will pygmies become a new species of hominid given enough time?
>>8664449
That's a bunch of weird looking animals desu
>>8664449
They're just black manlet brainlets desu.
>>8664489
Yes but given say 5000 years will they become a separate species is what I am asking, I know they are homo-sapiens currently.
So /sci/, I recently discovered something which questions established theory. I have all the data to back it up and the experiment is easily repeatable. How do I approach my professor about this when its his established theory?
>>8664423
respectfully and cautiously
>>8664425
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.
If the centre of a black hole has no volume then it doesn't exist
>>8664371
No center has volume, as the center is a point and points don't have volume.
But they surely exist.
>>8664371
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?
>>8664413
If they don't have volume yes
do series and functions have an interconnected relationship?
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
>>8664360
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.
Do we poop in the same order that we each?
Or do meals bypass each other?
i.e. breakfast and dinner are separated by 8 hours
There is a priority queue in your intestines that sorts your food alphabetically before it leaves.
>>8664300
This is actually something I'm interested in as well.
>>8664300
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
>>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.
Completed pure math. Ironically only jobs I qualify for all jobs that don't require technical skills. I might have as well majored in Sociology.

Basically 0 skills. Ability to prove shit means nothing. It's like having a philosophy degree. You have to make up shit about how your skills translate to X ability that matches a job description which you aren't qualified for.
>>8664113
sorry your parents lied to you like this. a degree doesn't guarantees much. now start selling stuff to people if you want to make money or keep on studying if you want to be a professor
