Alright /sci/, let's pretend this hypothetical scenario where you find this skeptic guy. You begin a chat with him, and this is how it goes:
>I love my dog, but he's going to die pretty soon
>But how do you know?
>It's very old
>But how do you know?
>Because he's like 15 dude
>But how do you know?
>Dude, I've had him for all these...

How do I not know?

I'd show him a picture of an overweight young man with facial hair wearing a felt hat with wide brim and indented crown, subtly making the implication that he shares similarity with this gentleman.
tl;dr: Philosotards are pseudo-intellectual time wasters.
https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/285201/path-to-basics-in-algebraic-geometry-from-hs-algebra-and-calculus
OK, so I have started my path toward algebraic geometry; however, I have trouble understanding this Javier's English, perhaps you could help me?
Question 0: It would be easier if someone could make a reading order from Javier's text, I'm having trouble with it. Can anyone please help me with this? I would like a definitive list (without any choices between texts that I have to make) from Javier's text.
Question 1: When he...

Question 7:
>You may get first a good introduction by starting with just algebraic curves: Elementary Geometry of Algebraic Curves: An Undergraduate Introduction by C.G. Gibson and Complex Algebraic Curves by F.C. Kirwan.
Does he mean that this is an alternative to An Invitation to Algebraic Geometry by K. E. Smith et al. and Undergraduate Algebraic Geometry by M. Reid?
Question 8: When he says:
For the latter, and anyway, you will need an understanding of complex numbers and complex analysis, heuristically explained and pictured...

You see what I mean. I think he might have a good guide here but I'm having trouble discerning some of it.
CS books thread
Post them
Springer is pretty based
This isn't a CS book any more than a calculus book is a physics book.

can someone explain this part "|x - z| + |z - y|" is used in this proof?

Where were you when you realized this had no integer solutions, /sci/?
>>7841263
>pls /sci/ do my homework

(0,0,0,0)

a = 2
b = 2
c = 1
g = 3
Troll or clever hw bait? You could probably write a program to find hundreds of integer solutions in seconds.
Mathematics/Physics motivational thread.
Man I know that this is off topic but I am all out of options here. Signed physics university because parents would kick me out otherwise, cant bullshit my way trough this like I did in highschool, have to study but I just dont have any drive. I just cant do it. I just cant force myself to study. Living in a pretty bad country with high unemployment and if parents kick me out I am done, I might legitimately die in the streets.
Literature is kinda intense, exams are too, I have never before seen this much intensity.. its not...

>I might legitimately die in the streets
If this isn't motivation enough, then I don't know what is.
You could always pick up something easier than physics, so that you won't really have to try very hard and still pass. However if you already passed shit with 9's without doing much you'll be just fine studying physics.
>>7841258
Stop being a little whiny bitch that's constantly feeling sorry for himself.
A lot of life is mind numbing shit you have to do because... it's life.
Read Seneca or Aurelius.
I know where you're coming from Op.
I'm a lazy homeless waste of space as well. I don't even have a computer, I'm posting this from a public library which is empty because everyone left as soon as I entered due to the foul stench emitted by my never-washed armpits.
Don't bother with that "study" shit Op, just be a festering waste of human potential like me!
Is engineering physics a meme? I heard people go in there and just come out unable to find jobs because they are neither engineers nor physicists. I'm currently taking Physics, but i'm considering on switching to Mechanical Engineering because the general consensus is that if you don't make it to Ph.D. and hence academia, you'll become a finance slave. I really want to stay and do something relevant to Physics where I'm genuinely interested to participate in Physics research in future either in optics or particle physics.
The reason why i'm considering...

You make it sound like a bad thing.

>Is <subject I don't approve> of a meme?
Is OP a massive fucking faggot? Evidence points towards yes
>>7841244
It's not that I do not approve of, but i heard from fellow friends and relatives that it is that way, generally either be a full physicist or a full engineer, no one wants a jack of all trades.
How many years until the personal robot is a thing and can be seen in offices and work places?
When will middle class families be able to buy and own one like with the car?
[spoiler]I just want to fuck a robot
You won't see humanoid robots in your lifetime. You will die a virgin so your children won't see them either :^)
>>7841209
Middle class families have been using robots for a few years now. One popular brand i Roomba.

Is Mensa basically a huge joke?
Granted, it seems like out of all of the high IQ societies, they provide the most benefits along with the membership compared to Intertel or Triple Nine, but it seems like for Mensa especially, you don't need that high of an IQ to join.
I guess by high IQ I mean like, 140+.
I was taking the Mensa work out because I thought it'd be a great way to eventually become smarter, after all, Mensa is about promoting intellectual growth. I was actually really happy because I got a high score on it; But then I realized that I had taken...

Whats eevn the point of being smart ? Social skills is more important
>Mensa especially, you don't need that high of an IQ to join.

140 is not high on the Internet in places like this, where your IQ can be whatever you want it to be after pressing your keyboard.
140 IQ people are extremely rare.
>>7841074
If you're smart and you care enough about social skills (and also aren't super autistic), you can just learn social skills and be incredibly sociable
Social Skills are only really important if you're constantly meeting new people, other than that, you don't have to have amazing social skills to navigate the average interaction

I can see his fedora from just hearing his voice, is this what people call synesthesia?
Just because it didn't need one doesn't mean it didn't have one.
First cause is ultimately unknowable. Now get on with life.
>tfw your thesis manuscript just went over 100 pages
>>7840928
>Caring about page count
It will be enough when you covered everything you need to, stop worrying about how long it is.
>>7840942
This desu. This guy's thesis was less than 60 pages long but it obviously did the job (he's actually a full professor now, 5 years later)
http://www.math.u-psud.fr/~fcharles/these.pdf
PhD advisor wanted not more than 150 pages.
3 years ago, /sci/ helped me write a paper for my undergraduate class in proteins.
I've since graduated with a BS in biochemistry.
I am deeply saddened to see the state /sci/ is in currently.
It's even more troubling because I came back in hopes to pay it forward.
However, it seems this is no longer the board it once was.
Where to go to?
>>7840931
not telling
If anyone IS actually interested on where to go to, let me know.
What is math?
I think it is formal objects and their relations.
You are fucking stupid

If he's so smart (6 degrees from MIT and 1 from Harvard), why does he make simple baby mistakes all the time in videos?
High IQ is highly correlated with autism.

Undergrad and masters in mathematics
