Can someone explain me why *any number*×0=no possible
>>7965900
Can someone explain what OP is trying to ask?
>>7965902
0*0=no fucking possible
>>7965907
0*0 = 0
I don't know what "=no possible" is supposed to mean, but I'm beginning to get the feeling that this is a schizo thread.
Hey, i'm new to this board so this is my first post.
I was wandering that if light is invisible (you can only see the things light reflect on), what happens when you look at the SOURCE of the light? i.e a light bulb or the sun. Are you still looking at something light as reflected on?
You see the combination of all colors since none of them is refracted, which is white. Actually you'll see more of a yellow color because of the atmosphere, but if there wasn't one it would be white.
>>7965859
so does this mean you are seeing light directly?
>>7965843
I think you meant to post a bear as your picture, delete and try again.
I know asking about this stuff is generally frowned upon here, but I feel like this would be the best place to ask.
I'm going back to Uni (my degree is in History and Politics) to study astrophysics in cosmology. It's always been something i've been passionate about, and i'd love to learn more about it - but how useful is it in the real world?
If it turns out to be not very, what other physics-related degree could I get that would actually help towards landing me a good job?
My credentials are as follows: (may not be eligible for the more...

you just learn? for fun? these are bachelors degrees? Does your dad pay for it or what, i dont really understand
>>7965791
I thought my first degree would be useful, boy was I wrong.
I'm 25 and have a job in river island.
I come from a relatively well-off family in the UK and can afford to go back if my family believe that it can actually get me a job outside of retail.
Yes, these are bachelors.
>>7965799
You need to have faith in yourself that you can get a decent job without a field appropriate bachelors degree. It's what most people have to do.
how does h approach zero such that we get derivatives? if we can't have it be zero, how do we get a function which outputs every value of the instant change of y/x?
i know i'm stupid. i apologize for that. but i will not give up.
>>7965758
you should revise the formal definition of the limit to get a better picture of what it means for h to approach 0
>>7965758
Because we're looking at the limit as [math]h \rightarrow 0[/math]
>>7965758
Are you that guy from before who kept talking about atoms and denying the concept of limits?
Hey, /sci/, can someone teach me the basics of physics?
What do you want to know, exactly?
>>7965761
Light? Can somebody teach me about light in physics?
>>7965756
Why don't you learn it yourself?

I studied computer engineering as my undergrad and now I'm interviewing for a QA Engineering position tomorrow and a Software Developer the day after.
Will I be okay if I get one of these jobs? I know C, assembly, python, and to a lesser extent Java.

You will almost for sure get the QA job if you show drive.
I worked as a QA intern and it was the most fun I ever had. Sure QA is a lot of monotonous, repetitive, checklist type work, but it's a lot of fun if you make it fun.
I automated a lot of shit in our team so I also had that going for me. My internship I was a software development intern, and I found this less fulfilling than the QA position.
The software development position should require you to be more comfortable with basic data structures and coding. There will probably be a whiteboard coding session where they ask you to implement something similar to fizzbuzz.
Just be a personable guy. Show a sense of humor. Don't be too uptight. You'll be fine.
Good luck! =)
I had the same problem , I started as Software Developer in Test when I graduated. However I found more difficult to switch between Test/QA Engineer to Software Developer than Software Developer to QA/Tests Engineer, just because recruiters have some misconceptions of those two roles.
whats a good introduction book on number theory? I also need exercices and solutions.
Solve the Riemann-Hypothesis
>>7966045
aight so I spent like 5 minutes looking at it and I think it's probably true, got the solution so I could check?

Hi there.
French undergrad math student here.
I've been looking for a native english database/blog with accessible papers, but until now I've found either hardcore articles (AMS etc.) or blogs with short highschool level topics.
Do you know good websites of this kind ?
(Also, math blogs thread I guess?)
>>7965554
Terrence Tao's blog is nice
ohohoho oiu oiu?
>>7965554

but really, you should git bon and read Grothendieck, Bourbaki etc in your own tongue
How would I go about making a mentaculus?

Fuck you

If you're all so smart why can't you solve these?
http://www.claymath.org/millennium-problems
I've solved one so far and i'm waiting for my reward!
>>7965513
Found what you solved. http://www.claymath.org/millennium-problems/poincaré-conjecture
>>7965513
They're too mainstream for me. I'll leave them to the meme spouting brainlets. I prefer to solve obscure math problems you never heard of.
>>7965522
so you're to much of a brainlet to even solve ''mainstream'' problems? Thanks for telling us that.
>every time you solve a captha you're secretly training machine learning algorithms
how do you feel about this anon?
fine because I regularly replace specific words with nigger
every time I get it wrong I'm secretly teaching machine learning algorithms to shitpost

>secretly
Considering how often I fuck up, I might be setting machine learning back a few years
Why do I get a strong wanderlust feeling when I really need to take a dump ?
What's happening in my brain that makes me want to go outside, and also see things in a different way, imbued with nostalgia ?
Are regions of the brain causing both close to each other or something ?
I though it could had been brought through evolution by bringing me into nature where I could take a dump, but humans living a sedentary life is only recent, compared to what it takes for evolution to occur usually.
So?
>>7965235
I've never felt that way. Sounds like your shitting habits are a bit fucked up.
>>7965235
Actually evolution may take much shorter than we originally believe. It is more likely that evolution is not a constant, that there are extremely long periods without any change and extremely short periods with a lot of change.
>>7965235
To be more precise, this feeling goes away as soon as I'm relieved.

did dinosaurs eat grass?
>>7965163
the first grasses evolved during the late cretaceous period. So not all dinosaurs ate grass, though it is unlikely some dinosaurs did not eat grass.
No. The emergence timeline of grass doesn't really overlap with that of the dinosaurs...grass came after the dinosaur extinction 'event'

One of the retards I tutored in precalc was majoring in Dietetics. She failed.
