Is there any sense to any of this? It seems demigod level in its esotericness.
They should fix the design of their website. It's 2017, not 1997.

Nice posts. Thanks for giving positive feedback to a science related topic.
What's the most money /sci/ has spent on books for a semester? Just spent $657 on books and access codes
>>8597117
You're retarded.
>>8597117
This semester has been the most expensive for me at ~$300, but it all came out of my grant refund so I'm not too bothered.
>>8597117
Im more of a /lit/ guy but i spent 1300€ on a bookshelf of psychological analysis novels
What source do you use to keep up with scientific news?
>>8597092
4chan

I second this. No joke. Everytime something happens there are 5 million threads about it in the following months and not only do I get to hear the story, but also I get direct knowledge of the opinion of students, scientists, racists, sexists, trump voters, hillary voters, black people, white people pretending to be black, black people pretending to be white, europeans, americans, americans pretending to be europeans and europeans pretending to be americans.
This is probably the best news source.

OP is a homosexual
Hey guys.
I'm trying to prove that u.v=|u||v|cos(theta) without using the law of cosines.
But rather by showing it with the law of cosines I want to use a triangle like this:
hypotenuse v, base proj v onto u, final side v - proj v onto u.
I feel really close in doing this but like I'm missing something.
I have (u.v)/(|u||v|)=cos(theta)
then
(u.v)/(|u||v|) = (proj v onto u)/v
but can't get the next step. writing out (proj v onto u) as the definition of orthogonal projections (with the dot products) doesn't help me.
Has anyone done this before? It can be done, right?
I wish I took this shit in uni
please help
>>8596951
You have it backwards.
[math]cos (\theta) = adj/hyp [\math]
implies u.v is adj. And ||u|| ||v|| is the hypotenuse
>>8596991
so you're telling me that
u.v = proj (v) onto (u)
and
||u|| ||v|| = v ?? that can't be right.
i have a right triangle drawn - imagine u on the x axis and v at (1,1).
Hello you wise /sci/. Is it worth for an aerospace engineer to do a MSc in Air Traffic Management or Airport Planning? Can you even consider them engineering fields anyways?
I was just wondering if they can be a good studies for anyone to take (in terms of salary and work conditions). Obviously they seem appealing in terms of being interesting, but it seems much responsibility for an unknown but probably standard salary.
>>8596906
So whats it like knowing youll never get a job?
Oh I'm not really worried since I'm not even an engineer, It was mostly curiosity. Tbh I don't even have a major (and doing ok so far).
Right now I could say that my only field of expertise are dank memes
>>8596906
Weird. I thought those were civil/transportation engineering disciplines
> Can you even consider them engineering fields anyways?

How do you feel about the fact that we're retards compared to the Cro-Magnon?
Our gene pool is deteriorating with each generation.
>>8596777
It might be that way on average, but I believe the smartest 1% is getting smarter due to academic clustering
On other words the deviation is increasing

How significant is this?
After all women desired to breed with muscle beasts and then settle with their brood with someone with money. Brains was never a strong card in the breeding game.

Powerful men. Some achieved this through being physical freaks, others through cunning and prowess (which would correlate with intelligence).

Bullshit
what are you implying anon?
>HIV doesn't make an appearance in the US until the 1970s
That's when some cheeky humanoid of stygian complexion decided to rape his first chimp.
if evolution is real, why africans aren't immune to hiv?
Sup /sci/ I'm a 3rd year chem student and looking into getting a phd because a bs alone doesn't pay shit.
Here the problem: I can't decide on what to specialize in, and as the masochistic retard that I am, I'm contemplating doing two simultaneous phds. So here's the question: if I do that, do I have to do two doctoral thesis or can I make one thesis that encompasses both areas? Because I don't mind taking extra clases but two investigations is sort of overkill.
>>8596753
>>I'm contemplating doing two simultaneous phds
That's the most retarded thing i've ever heard.

How is that possible?
Always respond with your answer + a subject for the next question. Anyone can respond with a new question for said subject.

What is logic?

If all humans descended from 1 man and 1 female mating together at one point thousands/millions of years ago, does that mean we all are related to each other as distant cousins?
Yes.
/thread
We are literally related to trees and bacteria too
>>8596694
No.
We did not descend from 1 male and 1 female. That's just stupid.
Yo,
so im starting uni next year and i wanted to do comp sci, however when i look at my unis course it actually seems pretty shit, theres no architecture units at all and i really cant tell what its even focused on, it looks like a bunch of random subjects to me
http://handbooks.uwa.edu.au/majors/majordetails?vdir=mjdcmpsc
the level 1,2 and 3 units barely rely on the ones before it.
So i looked at the engineering degrees and the electrical engineering degree barely touches on that sort of stuff in the third year.
http://handbooks.uwa.edu.au/majors/majordetails?vdir=mjdengsc
idk what i should do, i have a partial scholarship / grant whatever but its too late to apply to other unis.
>>8596567
>however when i look at my unis course it actually seems pretty shit
I agree. This barely scratches the surface of a real computer science program.
>i really cant tell what its even focused on, it looks like a bunch of random subjects to me
That's not necessarily a bad thing; computer science doesn't really have a deep focus that everything builds towards. But it is true that this program is far too shallow to reach anything interesting.
>So i looked at the engineering degrees and the electrical engineering degree barely touches on that sort of stuff in the third year.
Yeah; electrical engineering is not in fact computer science.
>idk what i should do, i have a partial scholarship / grant whatever but its too late to apply to other unis.
Find some way to get your ass to a university that actually teaches the subject you're interested in, I suppose.
>>8596567
Not random at all. The requirements are essentially the basic requirements of all CS majors. The only difference I see is only 1 mandatory programming course (normally there are 2-3) and no architecture.
OS, Networking, Compilers, Automata, Programming Languages, etc tend to be electives. You have to build a core before you can take specialized classes.
>>8596578
im looking at curtins program http://handbook.curtin.edu.au/courses/32/320911.html and it seems way better. their double major also looks interesting but its a 5 year degree
http://handbook.curtin.edu.au/courses/31/319545.html
or
http://handbook.curtin.edu.au/courses/31/319544.html
im not sure which one to go after though, ill probs see if i can apply for the july intake or something
>>8596586
the electives dont really cover any of this though, at best theres python as an elective
Thoughts?

It reached nirvana and transcended.
Too bad it depends on pi to prove its importance. (Or was pi's transcendence proved using e? Can't remember)
>>8596532
The proof that [math]e[/math] is a transcendental number is super easy compared to the proof that [math]\pi[/math] is a transcendental number. In fact, just look at this proof: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~yuvalf/Herstein%20Beweis%20der%20Transzendenz%20der%20Zahl%20e.pdf
You then use the property that if [math]e^x+1=0,[/math] then [math]x[/math] must be transcendental. Now, [math]e^{i\pi}+1 = 0 \Leftrightarrow i\pi \text{ is a transcendental number } \Leftrightarrow \pi \text{ is a transcendental number, because } i \text{ is an algebraic number.}[/math]
