Why? Everyone here is a math major at 300k starting. What's the point?
i go to an ivy league school so i am automatically more talented than anyone here
my school's math program is the best
come right at me and i will refer you to any of our hand picked jake barnett-tier geniuses
you cant even compete or argue with me because of how renowned my school is
it must suck to be a peasant who has to rest on his own laurels

"you fucking autist"
Are there any genuine diagnosed autistic people in /sci/?
>how is it? do you have any "special" talents?
>do you wish that you weren't autistic?
>how does it impact your daily/personal life?
yes
okay. no.
no.
positively and negatively.

Funny picture. So colorful.

/sci/ diagnosed me with autism last fall.
How can I monetize my pure math degree?
ask a literal actuary who works in manhattan anything
Identify and exploit patterns in the stock market.
Disrupt social media with mathematical abstractions
Proteins thread?
Any biochemists, biophysicists etc etc working with proteins?
I work with crystallography and NMR. I recently made a segmentally 15N-labelled protein on its IDR using sortase from S. Aureus, ready to do some HSQC spectra on it.
math fag here. how do you retards know if the shit is folded correctly
>>8069233
NMR spectroscopy is a method that exploits the resonance of the nuclei and can provide atomic resolution information to help determine structure and dynamics of a protein. By applying a powerful magnetic field on the protein you can get data which reveals the fold of the protein

leave the real science to the big boys
Is it possible to accelerate without a force?
Pic unrelated
Yes it is, let me give you an example. When I see one of the things in your picture I usually find myself accelerating away from it at high speed without any physical force acting on me.
>>8068950
I'm pretty sure there is some force acting there

lmao
What's the fastest way to solve sudoku?
>>8068921
A couple of years ago I got bored and decided to solve sudoku problems that came in newspapers and I found that looking for a particular number and trying to fill it in in every position is much faster than trying to complete a line or a square.
Whats the surest and most painless way to commit sudoku?
>>8068921
>What's the fastest way to solve sudoku?
Look up the answer, or failing that use http://www.sudokuwiki.org/sudoku.htm
The only algorithm I know of that gets all possible solutions (instead of trial and error until you get a satisfiable solution) is Dancing Links.
If the world were a simulation, woulde there be some way to prove it?
Or would we be completely confined to the "physics" of that simulation and unable to test outside our confines?
>>8068891
>If the world were a simulation, woulde there be some way to prove it?
Probably. I'm always surprised by how much certain experiments can say about really metaphysical shit.
Universe being discreete instead of continuous would be proof.

Find the last digit of pi
Okay /sci/. Let's settle this once and for all.
Black hole starships, possible or not?
If possible, then is it an effective way for propulsion?
According to the Crane and Westmoreland papers, it would take 20 days for a micro black hole starship to accelerate to 10% of the speed of light, assuming 100% conversion to kinetic energy, so even if we assume 10% energy conversion it would still only take 200 days to accelerate to 10% of the speed of light.

So what do you say?

I don't think you're going to be doing any 'settling' on a meme infested image board.

why did you even bother with this thread ?
>>8068773
he doesnt do much in real life, either
I already know basic logic and proof techniques, and excercise proofs in for example automata theory are easy to me since they relatively graphic.
But how the fuck do i find proof in analysis and number theory? I mean i read the chapters, understand every proof for theorems and lemmas, but i can't wrap my head around finding this shit!
Since you seem to be the smart board here:
Do you have tips for FINDING proofs?
step 1) not be a pleb
>>8068771
Ok, if thats your definition of pleb, how can i stop being a pleb?

lol, the guy in OP's pic is literally autistic.
he has like over 100s over custom made spider brooches.

I don't know what to do with this and I've never studied physics.
Any ideas?
glorified probability distribution machines
much like nuclear power is glorified steam power
Quantum computing tl;dr is instead of bits that are either 1 or 0, you perform computations with qubits that are mixtures of 1 and 0. This superposition phenomenon is the quantum part of the name.
Why is that good and gives you cool shit? Idk desu because it's not my field.
>>8068205
>hi I read about this in a popsci magazine once and now mindlessly repeat it like a parrot
Why do you do what you do /sci/?
What is it about what you study/research that gets you up in the morning; that drives you every day to learn more about it? What about your field fascinates you to that point?
>>8068056
I don't. I used to be smart, top of my ochem class, 4.0 gpa but then almost overnight i lost all motivation, my gpa has tanked and i spend every day just browsing 4chan and sleeping
>>8068064
There had to be something about chemistry that made you obsessed.
>>8068056
When I'm doing a math problem I feel like I'm in a meditative state. I forget everything else, it's wonderful.
I get the same feeling sometimes when I write essays.
Hey /sci/ I need a interesting topic that I can do for my biology class. Wondering if you guys can help me out.
>>8068028
MicroFluidic chips. Aka biochips.
Its the future of biological research.
Benis in bagina :-D
>>8068032
Thanks for the topic of Biochips, but is there any type of disease I can talk about?
Is computer science a good major?
If not, what is better?

Good for what? Define "good".

>your sound is now going twice the speed of sound
It doesn't. Sound travel through the vibration and propagation between atoms in the air. No matter how fast is your body moving (along with the jet), whenever you speak out, the propagation speed between the atoms do not change.
Think of it as a mosquito flying inside your carpool. Even if you drive your car to move ahead, the mosquito's speed does not change, therefore it will hit the backseats.
It's very similar...
