Hi guys.
I had a brilliant thought. What about a video game which is based on scientific puzzles you have to solve? Alright hang on there.
Imagine an rpg like skyrim where you have to fight ennemies, explore dungeons and solve sometimes solve mathematical puzzles to advance further.
The game would have to be revolving around the mathematical theme, like Sets for example. You start learning about real numbers, learning what bijection is, theorems and etc, and you advance into the game with the knowledge you acquire throughout the game.
There would be cutscenes for each moment a new concept is introduced, which ought to be very clear and good. And at one point you see a boss you cannot defeat because there's a square root of a negative number. Then you start doing other quests until you come to a master who teaches you complex numbers (all with epic music involved and 3d animations etc..) and you destroy the boss and beat the game.
Each cutscene would give you papers containing relevant informations about what the cutscene was talking about which you can check in the menu, like memos and how to do. You could also see the cutsenes over and over to understand better and remember.
That would be the first game. The next could very well be about sequences, next about sums, etc..
The point is not make maths even more attractive and fun.
Opinion?
>>8595345
could probably be done but is too niche and has the production costs are too high
nobody would want to play it
t. someone who loves math
>>8595345
I like.
Make it and I will play.
However, I expect Skyrim-esque quality now that I've seen that meme.
Couldn't you autistic faggots invent a shorter word for a simple concept like differentiation? Having to write that shit out by hand is a pain.

I use lagrange notation when dealing with functions, and shoving in symbols into a written paragraph looks messy.

Why aren't you using latex? Have you ever even read a research paper?

>Faggot computer scientists still try to pretend they are mathematicians
>There is still no axiomatization of computer science
Lol, try again. Wildberger's axioms would actually be pretty good for the axioms of computer science so I say before you start drowning on your own cum you give him a call and start my formalizing your entire field and then you can talk about diving deeper into pure mathematics via CS.
>>8594742
I don't see the problem of using syntax checking etc to see if mistakes were made. From what I understand what he means with the proof checking is assert whether the expected outcome matches the real outcome. This would allow you to create subsets of the proofs, and identify problems faster by being able to check each set individually.
>>8594742
I see no problem whatsoever in implementing Wildbergers system in any language. Go with
"|"
"||"
"|||"
"||||"
...
as natural numbers and write functions between that do arithmetic.
That's basically what he wants.
hi /sci/
I was just wandering, been talking to a girl, and then we had slightly different views and then I said: well, we cant come to an agreement, male/female brain differences..
she got angry..
anyway, is the term off? female brain? male brain? can I use it?
The brain contains receptors for sex hormones, so it is valid to make a distinction.
>>8594566
This.
We don't know exactly what are the differences but we can be sure that there is differences between male and female brain.
ok so I was on coincidence right..
I'll start:
Let
[math]\epsilon <0[/math]
[math]: \epsilon = - 1/12[/math]
>>8594295
Why would you make it <0 though. It's always >0.
>psychology is a pseudo science
>How relevant a field is = How scientific a field is
>>8594248
Psychologically is categorically a pseudo-science, nothing can be done about that.
But the guy who came up with that classification is a philosopher so, as anything those crackpots publish, you are free to disregard that as the ramblings of some mental drug addict, as are all philosophers.
>>8594248
It not being useless does not mean it is not pseudoscience
People can get results using unscientific but useful applications
Found this today in whats called the reuse room at my university, people dump shit there and you can take things for free. What does /sci/ think?
>>8594240
You go to Lewis and Clark? You guys are done with break already?
What does that mean op? If it didn't say gender studies on it, my initial thoughts would be that it is saying gender is a scientific concept.
>>8594240
What does it even mean?

Is a meme.

r memes real?

You mean, Free Willy. ? Don't do that in public.
Where does a uneducated shit start learning sciences , like physics , chemistry and mathematics ? Should i buy text books or maybe online courses (kinda on a low budget )
>>8591835
Thats what 18 years of school is for. You're too old to learn anything new now.
>>8591841
Not him but that's not true at all,I've met some >50 year old farmers who got the high school graduate even if it took them 5 years to get it

Does any of that heat inside the Earth have an appreciable affect on the surface?
Would the Earth be different if it had a cold core?
we won't have plate tectonics and magnetosphere
>>8591648
>Would the Earth be different if it had a cold core?
Yes, because we would all die of radiation. The moving iron/metal creates the magnetic field.
Does the subject of Organic Chemistry need to be fixed? I mean with regards to how its taught. I feel like it's just a bunch of random rules that you have to memorize, which is perfectly doable, but a pretty terrible way to learn. I'm just looking at example after example and it seems like every single example has some unique reasoning behind its answer.
>>8590236
to be honest, historically organic chemistry was done at first, and explained later
so obviously, it's like a mish-mash of everything, and it relies more on experience rather than exact knowledge of subject.
physical organic, and computational chemistry are more solid at this regard, but I personally find them less intuitive
The reason that chemistry is remotely useful to anybody is trend: if all examples in chemistry were unique situations with no clear-cut reactivity patterns, it would be a useless exercise except for what you start with and what you end with. The "random rules" describe how >90% of all relevant examples will react. If you think that all of the examples have a unique solution, you clearly do not understand the trend behind it. The question you should ask yourself (and how these things are explicated in textbooks) is "why" a general rule is general.
>>8590236
>random rules
its just acid base chemistry you fucking brainlet

Another important step towards eliminating the cancer of infinity from mathematics. I am proud to have been born at the same time as this man, so that I can witness the end of this fundamentally broken and paradoxical concept.
>>8588149
My infinite loneliness is aleph-null. While still a troublesome concept, I can accept countable infinity if mathematicians are willing to drop the rest of the infinities.
Does Marijuana use make you retarded?
Can the retardation be reversed?

All of these papers point to a serious cognitive decline from consistent cannabis consumption. These studies had a large sample size of at least 10 people, so these results are statistically sound. The real question then becomes, is the cognitive impairment permanent?
>>8587607
The cognitive impairment is not permanent and resides as the drug leaves the body which can take a few days due to the binding of fat cells.

On another note marijuana use is impossible to escape if it's in your environment. If you smoke it since you're twelve you might find yourself needing it for stability of your emotions.
I was reading a paper and it wasn't sure if the effects were due to a residual effect of the drug stemming from a withdrawal of sorts, if the drug was active still for days due to binding to fat cells, or if there was permanent impairment.
In my personal experience, it's the first two.
>>8587607
It's not permanent. The problem is that marijuana, like any high (such as always going back to an abusive lover) is addictive. It's a habit like any other, and as such it can be difficult to break, just as with any other habit.
>>8587607
>is the cognitive impairment permanent?
I think so
