Please rewrite
>After 1000 years of mathematicians using their knowledge to build everything up from literal dirt and nothingness, and then after 1000 years of physicists using that knowledge to build a concise of explanation of how the universe works, an engineer can use that knowledge to get man to the moon.

Lol no
What drove technology forward for hundreds of years was trial and error, not some faggy queerboy with a math degree you cunt
>>7970761
Historical facts would say the contrary but whatever.
If you are here with an engineers vs the world thread then the last thing you care about are facts.

What area of physics has the most exciting future in your opinion?
i ask because i just fell foul of this question in an interview, and am curious to see what you guys' answers are
nanostuff and space travel
>>7970511
More specifically?
>>7970514
nanomaterials, nanobots for medicine, metamaterials, better methods for space travel, space elevators, faster and more efficient 3d printers that can print using more material also can print organic tissue to a degree
Hey /sci/, sentient universe here. Just wanted to let you know I've finally figured myself out so I'm done being the universe observing and trying to understand itself and I'm gonna spend the rest of heat death just being me. See ya' around, /sci/.

Nice try but I'm not losing my quantum immortality to some quantum maneater.
>>7970492
Thanks for not increasing our entropy any further. Sleep tight, pupper.
Can anyone see what the pattern is here? Or at least how to go about solving it?
f(x,y,z) = 2x + 4yz
>>7970438
How are we supposed to see a pattern of z when it's the same every time in your example?
2x + 8y

I'm not even sure if you speak about the "it's easy" thing,
but the rant the next 4 minutes that follows are neat, looks like a cool prof

So that is what all this about?
no, my math professor was a lot less charismatic and nice than that
I assume most of you have a graphing calculator, so why don't you share dome fun things you have drawn on it.
>pic related Ive drawn a panty
I also have this one, I found the formula for this one online
And the batman curve ofcourse

Mine died years ago and was never replaced.
Everyone uses matlab/maple/matplotlib for real ploting anyway.
I had an argument with my sister. She is of the opinion that teenagers shouldn't be forced to learn math if they don't want to, and that anything above Algebra 1 or possibly Geometry is "useless" for regular people. Does she have a point? I disagree with her, but I can't honestly prove that a regular person will ever need to use Calculus in his day-to-day life.
fourier analysis is useful for shelf-stacking
not that the person doing the stacking is aware of that, but still
>>7969832
I guess we all just aspire to be more than regular people. The choice is still up to her though.
>>7969832
She's absolutely right. Unless she goes into STEM, she's pretty much never gonna need any substantial mathematical knowledge anytime in her life.
Why does /sci/ hate him?
>>7969783
Because he's literally /r/eddit. Have you seen his twitter? Every post of his is pure cringe. All that terrible millennial pseudo-humor rustles my jimmies.

Even /r/eddit doesn't like him anymore.

What happens when you take the Taylor expansion of a straight line?
What about the fourier series?
>>7969667
Nothing interesting. Why don't you try calculating it yourself?
>>7969667
Well if you took the Taylor series of a line (ie. y=mx+c) then the series would just terminate. For a Fourier series you'd still return an infinite series, all be it over a specific domain.
Taylor expansion of a straight line would just be the first two terms (a constant and a linear function), i.e. all further terms 0.

Reminder that the americans predicted some freezing winter in europe and it did not happen.
>>7968940
We can barely predict if rain will fall next week. Why anyone believes anything the NOAA, or US government, says is beyond me.

Post hard pattern recognition, so maybe you can elevate /sci/'s sons of bitches

I disagree, I think it's 3.
Can there be a creation, without an architect?
Leave religion-bullshit aside. We are talking about reality.
creation is its own architect
why cant brainlets fathom this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-organization
>>7968724
Sure. People just can't fathom nothingness though.
Whatever our idea of nothingness is, is still something. Even a pitch black, empty, energy-less point.
Takes true nothingness to get something.
Does anyone know of a somewhat reliably accurate online IQ test? I've done 6 in the last week and the results vary from 113-140. I know i'm nowhere near the higher end of that, but i'd really like to pinpoint my score with maybe 5 points. Any resources appreciated. Thanks. Pic unrelated.
>>7967767
Fuck off with IQ threads, you brain dead moron.
Inb4 hur dur brainlet XD
>>7967774

>>7967767
Let me guess the first one was 113 and the sixth one was 140?
