are you happy that you'll be still alive in 2100 ?

I'm a high-school fag who loves calculus. I made a group on fb for only my specific class and I post vids there intuitively explaining the things we learn in class. My problem is they don't engage or care, and I want their grades to go up and appreciate the math. How can I make it more enjoyable and engaging? What keeps you guys in the mood when studying or in class?
I'd usually say find a project they actually want themself see accomplish. With your very standard topic, it might be hard to do much new.

ehe
fellow hs calcfag. I don't do shit in that class and I'm set to get a 3 on the BC AP next week.
Math is cool and all, but I'd rather be browsing the chans.
>>8032397
I made a general goal of scoring the highest class average on the final. I started a rivalry with another class to add fuel for them and an additional influence for them to care. When they see each other as a community, it helps, but the extent is only in class. On facebook, they give no fucks.

So what does /sci/ think of Subdermal magnet implants? I'm considering getting one in my finger but I'm not sure yet.
>>8032639
Well for one it allows you to feel/sense magnetic/electric fields.
>>8032609
Some guy who had this done to all his fingers recorded his experience in a blog. About a month and a half in his flesh had begun to reject the magnets and he had to have sizable chunks of his fingers removed because of infection.
This is so fucking cool. Technology is truly amazing. Definitely a thing people in the future will take for granted though. Littke shits.
Anyway, who even needs artists anymore now? We're getting to the point where we'll let AI create art.

The intersection of the set of all art and the set of all AI-created stuff is [math]\emptyset[/math].

Just like how calculators and computers replaced mathematicians, right?
How do you think Space Mining is going to start? I somehow doubt big businesses involvement because wouldnt the excavation of an asteroid made up entirely of precious metals going to devalue the ones we have back at home?
Using earths resources and dumping primitive energy sources like fossil fuel is 1000 times more efficient than going to outerspace and trying to drill the chickenshit resources out of floating rocks. which costs a ton more than its income
>>8024775
It will coincide with the start of the post-scarcity era
When we get to that level of automation and resource abundance, prices won't matter. It will be a socialist utopia
>>8024782
There are NEOs with trillions of dollars worth of precious metals

Is nuclear energy the most cost effective energy source?
>>8029497
Yes
Until we finally invent cold fusion, yes.
No, it's pretty expensive.
Compare to burning coal: either way, you use heat to boil water, and you use the steam to spin a turbine to crank a generator.
But with coal, you just feed a fire, and with nuclear, you need a complicated reactor.
With nuclear, you get a big up-front cost, and a big clean-up cost, then you go on taking care of the waste effectively forever. When people claim that nuclear's cost effective, usually they're looking at the operating costs, after the set-up cost has been obfuscated by subsidies and forgotten, and when...

What's the best way to colonize Mars?
Are you also daydreaming the entire day of just building a world all for yourself on Mars?
Create a massive solar sheet in space next to Mars and use it to power a series of stations on the surface that convert the current atmosphere to Earth-like atmosphere.
redirect the orbit of an icy dwarf planet and collide it with mars and wait 2 million years
boom mini Earth

Come on we're the masters of creating greenhouse gasses. How hard can it be to heat up the planet in a couple of hundreds or thousand years?
From newton's time, does the order of "greatest living mathematicians in the world" go
Newton
then Euler
then Gauss
then Riemann
Then who after that?
Ian Malcolm.
there is no order. each of them are necessary. this is like putting the order of vitality to the heart, lung, liver, kidney, marrow and brain. you need all of them or they all die.
>>8033436
I think he's asking for a chronology of mathematicians who were considered greatest at the time of their living.
That being said, if you honestly think Gauss was not the greatest who's ever lived, you're a stupid undergrad.
Why women don't like to pick STEM degrees and choose rather humanities?
>>8033039
Because they are "oppressed" and they better do Gender Studies to tell other women that they'll be "oppressed" in a STEM degree and her better option is to do Gender Studies.
>>8033039
Since when?
Answer that and you'll have your reason.
>>8033039
Because somebody has to speak English properly OP.
These are questions for an oral exam on Riemannian Geometry given to 2nd and 3rd semester grad students at the University of Michigan earlier today. 2-3 hours was the recommended time frame to solve the problem set.
Hints will be given if requested.
Another easy one.
This is the last and hardest one.
Hint for this one: What are the eigenvalues of a skew-symmetric matrix?
How can you tell if someone is truly intelligent?
I think you must have published at least one paper on quasilinear elliptic cohomology of baxterized affine Hecke algebras in wrapped Fukaya categories on projective exceptional flag manifolds. Else you're a low IQ pleb.
You can usually tell within 5-10 minutes of talking to someone if they are intelligent.
Their mannerisms, cadence of speech etc, it's pretty obvious.

>>8023420
No you can't. You can think you can though, but people are pretty bad judges of character.
