Are we our brains?
>>8053518
No, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we're the imagination of ourselves.
I am the whole universe, discovering and experiencing myself.
Since the universe is so large, my exploratory organ is limited in the way it can experience the rest of my body.
>>8053523
So what happens after we die? Are we integrated into the consciousness of the whole universe?
Is there a chance that trillions of years from now, the same consciousness I have today will exist again, possibly with no memories of now?
What type of computer science jobs can I get with a degree in math?

What's wrong with it?
Are ethics holding science back?
of course, idiot
but it's not like you're weighing down a bird that wants to fly
it's like you're restraining a retarded, aimless child that wants to beat his head against the concrete

Did anyone here think that they could handle STEM/Physics/Math/Engineering and ended up hating it? Could you share your story?
>Did anyone here think that they could handle STEM/Physics/Math/Engineering
I studies physics and thought I could handle it. And indeed I did.
>and ended up hating it?
I ended up hating Engineering
>Could you share your story?
I worked with Engineers for my PhD and they don't know what a Gamma function is and do what they do for the money. When they go home to their families in the evening they leave their work life behind them.

I've always wanted to study maths/physics but I ended up doing electrical engineering. I like my field a lot but this attitude bugs the shit out of me too. A lot of engineering students spend all day bitching about how hard they have it while if they just took a minute to appreciate the maths they would realize how simple a lot of the things are.
it's like some people go out of their way to learn as little as possible

>A lot of engineering students spend all day bitching about how hard they have it
I'm never sure if this isn't really meant seriously or if people actually spend this much time on their stuff.
I did EE too (at a middle of the road school) and while I was busy I always had time for my own stuff; I never experienced anything close to working 8 hours a day to keep up with the courseload like people talk about.

It's finally happening guys, I won't be able to hear /sci/s butthurt over the sound of the propellers.

how can it be possible? Math is not perfect as mathematicians say.
>>8053027
What's the problem? You've ended up with true statements.
>>8053027
Literally no problem with this.

Hey faggots, can you recommend some relatively easy to use software for plotting graphs of functions? Preferably something free.
python + numpy
Sage
R
gnuplot
mathematica
DESMOS MASTERRACE
LibreOffice Math
how would you best dispose of a body by chemical means?
HF is a meme perpetuated by breaking bad as HF is the weakest of the hydrogen halide acids, maybe it would help to dissolve teeth and bones though
what about piranha solution? the sulphuric acid will dehydrate any carbons the the hydrogen peroxide will oxidise these carbons to carbon dioxide and your victim's body will simply float into the atmosphere
>>8052778
dissolving a body doesn't have to do with strength of acid, HF actually works. It even bleaches the whole thing instead of leaving a weird dark brown goo.
>>8052778
Peroxymonosulfuric acid. That shit will annihilate anything organic, literally one of the strongest oxidizers in existence, in addition to dehydrating everything. You can make it from 85% sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide at low temperatures (for max yield)
>>8052880
Kek, just realized there's a meme name for peroxymonosulfuric acid, my bad OP, didn't read the whole thing.

Does anyone have a useful, quick guide or pdf on how to derive differential equations from RLC electric circuits?

[math] V = R I[/math]
[math] V = L \frac{d I}{dt} [/math]
[math] V = C \int I \, dt [/math]
Or something like that.
Always mix up those last two

Interesting, thanks!
How will it all end, /sci/?
So far we have heat death/the Big Freeze, the Big Rip, the Big Bounce, and a couple others.
>>8052663
the universe is eternal.
>>8052663
It will die when you die.
>>8052663
well it could instantaneously disappear as far as we know.
Hey guys,
Can anyone give me a number crunch.
Tests (3) = 40%
Project: = 40%
Attendance: = 20%
I have 100 in Attendance. On the Project I got an 86. ON the first 2 test, I got an 94 and 86. What do I need to get on the last test to get a 90 overall in the class?
Thanks
Dude this is really easy. Come on.
>>8052616
you need basic math.

Want to help me out?
Is Science a subset of Philosophy ?
Or is Philosophy a science ?
>>8052575
Only a brainlet needs to mentally structure the world around himself in oversimplifications such as "X is a subset of Y".
>>8052575
Philosophy is dead
>Epistemology is cuck'ed by Mathematical Logic
>Ethics and Metaphysics are cuck'ed by Theology (The study of the worship of mathematical beauty)
>Natural Philosophy is cuck'ed by Mathematics
Science is philosophy.
Science is basically applied empiricism.

Makes sense.

So?

The amount of money people are willing to pay for sports is just silly
how do get into math and physics as someone who has been a NEET for the last 4 years?
Should I start learning everything from scratch?
I'm guessing you didn't go to college after high school, meaning you're probably 20 or 22.
These are fine ages to start college. Just fucking enroll. Be an undeclared major and take the basic math/sci courses. If you're taking the basic courses, even if you're at a competitive university they're probably gonna be pretty easy. So apply yourself and do well in them. Then declare yourself whatever major appeals to you.
go to Khan Academy, and work your way through Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and Trigonometry
you don't have to watch it all, as Sal is slow af, but make sure you can do the exercises, and watch videos as needed
that should give a solid math core
then download University Physics, it's the most popular book for universities in the world
easy to get
you'll need Calculus, but you can either learn it alongside UP, or self study Calculus in a single variable
as you go on, you'll need multivariable calculus, taylor series, etc, but...
