CROOKED NEEDLE
this is just a brute force problem and it's extremely distasteful
You can't solve this without knowing the number of people on the plane, the type of plane, the weathet, the terrain it's flying over, etc.
Have you ever crushed on a hot professor?
Ever had sex with one?
exchanged hj's with my calc iii instructor
No but when I was taking a class at community college the professor was dating my roomate
really really weird situation
ended up dropping the class and moving cities anyway but still very strange

this is likely some masters-tier normie
Which Big 10 school has the best engineering program?
The yellow M
Minnesota, far and away.
>>7981723
Depends on which type. Probably Illinois, but school rank isn't important when applying for engr jobs. Like at all.
Visit the schools and decide which one you like the best.
Do not understand why always everything grandiloquent of the culture of the land must always be attributed to aliens, that is belittling human intelligence, as we are always a few apes, if it had been made by aliens would have minimal electrical connections and traces of something computer at least, it's just stone and wood, stop fucking with supernatural inventions, it is good you make money with it but at the expense of the ignorance of people, such as history of ci-fi is exciting but not more than that. There is no hard evidence of nothing.
The internal ramp theory by that one gaylord frenchman is so far the most plausible explanation for the construction.
Forcing thousands of slaves to work every day for years seems pretty legit.
>>7981531
they weren't slaves and they weren't forced. most of them were highly skilled laborers.
it might help if your knowledge of the pyramids wasn't limited to some book you read in 3rd grade
Dear /sci, I come to you as the second most clever board after /lit/
I watched these videos recently, 1st is 5 minutes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME7K6P7hlko
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sArXw6ajNg
1st question, are they making any logical errors? If so, what?
2nd, Is it true that Legalese is a separate language to English, as it requires its own dictionary
3rd, where does sovereignty come from? Are we born with it, and somehow give it away? Where does it reside?
4th, why are banks called the same things as the sides of rivers?
5th,...

I mostly browse /lit, but I can confirm that /lit is 75% DFW and Pynchon memes, 24% retarded questions like "is this book good? what did you think of x? should I like x? how do I start with the Greeks?" and 1% good content.
We don't know how to socialize with other boards. Please go.
>>7981514
but you are the most logical board? the most knowledgeable about the real world?
Please, I need answers
What's the scientific principle or "law" that states that something like 99% of the work is the easiest, or least expensive, but that that last 1% of precision is the most difficult to attain, or the costliest. I think I've seen it applied to engineering, but it applied to pretty much everything.
Anyone know off the top of their heads?

Low hanging fruit analogy
Hello, Logic
n/((n!)^(1/n))=e, when n->oo.
What is the best way to conceptualize this?
Geometrically, analytically, etc?
move your mouse for fuck's sake, it's triggering me
>>7981434
Can we think of the limit of a fraction of two infinite quantities being e?
Natural infinity divided by the nth root of the factorial of natural infinity being e, is this an intuitive way to approach the limit?
You have 100lbsof potatoes, which are 99 percent water by weight. You let them dehydrate until they're 98 percent water. How much do they weigh now?
>>7981343
Get out high school
>>7981343
Roughly 51 lbs.
>>7981354
51.2 lbs to be exact
What area of math can I begin learning before I have completed calculus?
I am doing Spivak's Calculus (3rd, if it matters), and am about 3/4 through (currently doing Ch23: Infinite Series). However, it gets a little tiresome doing only calculus. Is there any other area that I can do alongside calculus, where my incomplete knowledge of calculus will not prevent me from getting a handle?
I have already gone through Euclid's Elements, if anyone was going to recommend that, or if it will open up more opportunities for me.
If possible, please recommend textbooks...

What are your objectives? You can do most of basic pire math without calculus. You can learn discrete mathematics, linear algebra, abstract algebra, number theory all without calculus. In fact you don't see any calculus in those courses except maybe as examples.
Realistically you can also learn complex analysis without calculus (up until you're differentiating and integrating but it sounds like you're way passed that point). Hell, you can do basic Analysis without calculus.
>>7981327
Linear algebra, general topology.
If you defend yourself well enough, you can start with analysis too.
Actually, calculus is very applied math, and you aren't probably facing those monster integrals again in your life, unless you do something really specific.
>>7981337
I have no real objectives. I am a first year student in mathematical physics, so I guess anything that can help with physics is ideal. Really though, I am just learning for fun and a challenge, since my current courses are easy, and they won't let me take the advanced math courses since I am in the science department, instead of the math department.
All of my maths courses so far have been calculus, and linear algebra (which is easy, but pure agony).
Is math a social construct?
Race and gender are social constructs, so why not math?
>>7981250
You're an asshole.
>>7981252
Just because tolerance is only a social construct doesn't mean you have a right to ridicule those with different opinions than your own. Asshole.
Is an asshole a social construct? Like genitalia?
Is addiction a meme illness? There clearly is something going on, because people die over it. Fatties eat themselves to death, pedos are unable to stop themselves from trying to hook up with underage girls online even after being caught, junkies OD and die, etc. It's all the same 'illness', but the fixation of choice differs.
addiction is more often a symptom of an underlying problem rather than an illness in itself

>OP is a pedo and is subtly trying to understand his problem while framing it as an addiction

rewatching To Catch A Predator and I remembered this guy
Talking about dimensions of a mathematical space , I wondered what does link a n dimension to a n+1 one.
However, I couldn't figure out even how to define a dimension : I thought about using matrice (1,n) and even (n,n) but none of them worked or seems to link from one to another.
Any idea ?
>>7981156
>Any idea ?
Learn English
Learn math
>>7981197
Sorry genius, help me out if it's so simple
>>7981156
>I wondered what does link a n dimension to a n+1 one
a map f so that, for example, (a,b,c,d) --> (a,b,c,d,0)
Is the world perhaps 1 dimensional?
We can just make a bijection between [math]\mathbb{R}^4[/math] and [math]\mathbb{R}[/math] so everything in our 4D universe can simply be described in 1D as well.
Nah.
>>7981120
Bijection: one to one and onto
Find me where that supposed bijection would map the 4 dimensional row vector (1,5,3,10) in 1 dimensional space.
>>7981130
I don't remember the bijection, but one certainly exists. Look it up.
OP, dimension and cardinality aren't related.
Any doctors in the house? Is this bad?
I mean I know it's bad, certainly not good, but is surgery needed?
>>7980977
fracture, fracture, displacement, fracture, subluxed(displacement), fracture fracture fracture
wew
doesn't sound good, a fracture is the breaking of a bone without it being fully displaced, but it sounds like you have some displacement too
go to a fucking doctor you madman
Yes, surgery most definitely needed. That is fucked, to use a technical term.
>PLEASE TELL ME I DONT HAVE TO SPEND MONEY
Nah just walk it off retard
Discuss.
>>7980943
Yes, as information.
>>7980943
no, we have only the simulation of ideas.
everything is preordained and we are experiencing reality like someone hooked up to a tv, thoughts are broadcast into our mind and we think they come form us but really it's just the universe operating around us.
everything is a program and nothing is real
the matrix has you
>>7980949
Then where are the glitches
