This place is pretty shitty with the "I'm class of 2020 hur durr" and "Pre-Calculus HW Help Thread". Where are the grad students doing interesting mathematical research? This place is 10000x worse with the underage kiddos here. The intellectual depth is lacking.
check out the epistemology thread its pretty poppin rn
>>7946015
I did and it's still lacking intellectual depth. I used to envision this place as 4chan's MathOverflow. That vision is long dead.

You just need to find the right threads.
I've seen many threads that clearly have math grad students in them.

Why does highschool tell students why math is useful, but not why it can be fun and interesting? It's like the "math is a chore" meme infected the teachers too. Has the education system failed in that regard?
>>7945970
because all the fun math is too advanced for high school
>>7945970
Yes
I had a teacher who tried the "math is fun" stuff, but most people would mostly shrug it off and keep chatting in their cell phones whenever she tried to convince us with talk no jutsu.
I really liked her and the other applied students did too because she really worked on her classes and was legitimately concerned about her students.
But normies just don't care about any of it. They just want to fuck, consume and get decent enough grades so they don't get grounded for being...

The Sun and the Earth revolve each other.
The Sun that hypothetically revolves the Earth is, as significant as, the Earth that theoretically revolves the Sun.
Observation shows that the Sun revolves the Earth.
Evidence can be discovered to show that the Earth revolves the Sun.
We observe an evident phenomenon- and phenomena that can be taken as evidence.

Repetitive comments are a result of evidence-heavy science- i.e. pseudo-science.
Had you believed the Sun revolves the Earth, you would strive to be original as to keep a decent image, instead you hypothetically hit readers with unoriginal perversity.
Oh well you'll pay one day.

So I've been playing with ANSYS to solve this problem I had. This is what the problem/case looks like this: https://files.catbox.moe/n13u3f.png
Just pretend it's a pipe. When I simulate some water flowing through (at inlet pressure of 100 Pa, and outlet pressure of 0 Pa) what happens is that the there's some vortex goin on at the end of the constriction. Here's what it looks like, with pathlines representing streamline values:

yes

Does the fact that we have numbers that cannot have their exact value represented in our notation (irrationals, I) show an insuffiency in our number system? Obviously, there was no need for these yet when the Arabs first wrote "1,2,3,4",etc. Would it be possible to start over from scratch with all new symbols, concepts, etc to create a notation system where all these are accounted for? Would it make maths more intuitive and advanced math easier?

Have any other architectures besides the Von Neumann architecture ever been researched. And if so how successful have they been?
>>7944887
Harvard architecture
>Under pure von Neumann architecture the CPU can be either reading an instruction or reading/writing data from/to the memory. Both cannot occur at the same time since the instructions and data use the same bus system. In a computer using the Harvard architecture, the CPU can both read an instruction and perform a data memory access at the same time,[1] even without a cache. A Harvard architecture computer can thus be faster for a given circuit complexity because instruction...

FPGAs with millions of vertical stacks instead of a single bus to the ram are in development. Neuromorphic computing is a thing.
A month or two back an anon asserted that Von Neumann and his friends intentionally withheld most of their ideas from the USA because they knew Americans were just as bad as everyone else. If he's here I'd like to hear more on this.
I suspect Von Neumann's nanomachines were intended as software that would run on a hardware implementation of his binary neural networks. What happened instead was the Americans took their...

Why isn't it standard to immediately test for all bacterial strains that cause infection?
This wouldn't happened if I knew the exact strain.

>Why isn't it standard to immediately test for all bacterial strains that cause infection?
There are extremely many reasons. The most pressing ones are that it would literally take years to test, that there is no guarantee that compound x from the bacterial strain that they are checking for is in the particular blood sample they're using, and that there will be a lot of false positives and negatives.
Deciding for yourself that you'll start on antibiotics is detrimental...

Give it to me straight, do nootropics have any worth? I hear more about them all the time. I've heard of adderall which helps your attention span, but I don't want that one. I've heard of theanine that lessens social anxiety and when I searched for it I found out there were tonnes more, including ones that supposedly increase brainpower.
We all know winners do drugs lads. Ok, an even better justification is that we already eat tonnes of artificial shit in our food so surely nootropics isn't some freak category?
What do you recommend? Though...

Is anyone here equally proficient in both their hands in terms of writing?
I would like to be able to write with my left (non-dominant) hand whilst using a computer mouse with my right (dominant) hand.
I've read up on it a bit and there seems to be a lot of pseudo-shit deficits related to ambidextrous people.
>>7944367
Interesting. My dad is pretty much ambidextrous. I think he's slightly Asbergers.
The study I just googled said increased risk of ADHD, dyslexia, doing badly at school, but most kids were OK.
You can train yourself to write with your non-dominant hand but it's hard if you're not naturally ambi.
Will you gain any benefit from learning to write with your non dominant hand?
>>7944367
i've switched from using mouse in right hand to left hand before, but what's the point?
