Hey /sci/, have any of you guys ever been paired with only cute girls during a lab? This happened today when I walked in twenty minutes late... late city bus caused me to miss another bus connection to get there on time.
This saved me from working with the neckbeard partner I've been working with.
It was a simple excel(which they had no clue how to use) lab and one of the girls suggested I should be in their group every time. I feel like this was a small win for me as my aspergers is strong and I normally wouldn't have worked with them if the professor...

It looks like /sci/ is passed the point of cute girls existing in college science labs. I know this is my inevitable future of being in a STEM major.

I make it a point to never work with female classmates, unless they're on my level. Haven't met one yet, though

Rather than P=NP, i am more amused by the blatant violation of Fermat theorem in the back
Could someone spoon feed a litfag about why this is such a big deal?

NP problems are renowned for being exponentially difficult to solve with greater variables. if someone were to bring them into P time, they would be solvable with far less computational power, and not with exponential increase in difficulty.
the conjecture of P=NP is that if you can bring an NP problem into P space, you can bring ALL NP problems into P space. this would mean that it's possible to break cryptography's entropy barrier with far less computational resources than anticipated.
I earned my physics degree with a math minor this past may from an average university with a GPA of 3.27. The thing is I barely tried and got by with low B's and C's for the first 3 years, then got tired of being a retard and stepped my shit up. I then received mostly straight A's and the highest grade in a few classes such as QM 2 and calc 3 (ez mode). I never did research with professors or anything but now my problem is, should I go for a PhD?
I have an awful grasp on basic physics because I never tried in the introductory courses, though I could fix...

Try for a masters program first.

The thing is I currently couldnt afford a masters program while PhD's offer stipends and pay for research. Should have mentioned that, sorry
Would it be easier to deorbit a planet that's far away (since it's moving more slowly) or not (because of oberth effect?)

I just want attention and information on astrodynamics.
So, scientists and mathmaticians.
what is the stupidest thing youve ever done?

Is psychology a real science? Are those so-called "kinds of intelligence" and "everyone smart in someway" real or just propaganda made by psychologist to appeal and get money from people?
Interpret this any way you like.

I guess some feminists just want to tell people that women are equally intelligent to men "in some way"

> Are those so-called "kinds of intelligence" and "everyone smart in someway" real or just propaganda made by psychologist to appeal and get money from people?
I don't think you know what psychologists actually research and do. I'm not a psychology major myself, but some of my friends are. The research they are doing alongside their peers and advisors is actually quite interesting and diverse. It varies from the "soft" spheres like interpersonal...

Hey /sci/,
I need some help.
When I was in 8th grade, my father died, and in order for my family (my mother&my little sister) to at least have something to eat I had to start doing different jobs.
This resulted in me falling behind on my school subjects, especially maths.
You see, my math teacher is a really nice guy, he would always write me good grades, because he knew the situation I was in and wanted to help in any way possible.
This, however, backfired greatly.
My mom recently got a job which allows me to finally focus on my studies, but I...

By the way, I won't have access to a computer till tomorrow night, so I'll check up on thread then.
Thanks to anyone who even takes their time to read this.

First off, maybe you can't do it. That's okay. A lot of Unis have entry examinations that will assess your math level. Since that is the case, there's no shame in taking a year off, studying on your own/at a JC and then applying to the Uni you want to go to.
Second, Khan Academy will be just about the most efficient way to do this- reading textbooks will almost certainly take more time to do than KA.
Thirdly,

Hello /sci/ I was wondering if a kind Anon could assist me for a second.
The trouble I have is with the question is:
A production formula is given as q = 5Log(1+(Qa^1/2)Qk)
Where Qa is the Quanity of labour and Qk is the quantity of Capital and Q is the total produced amount.
The question is as following:
Make the isoquant with Qa = 16 and Qk = 6 and Qa should be on the X Qk on y axis.
The price of one unit of labour is 4 units and that of capital is 2.
Now I have to make a chart of this but I have no clue how to integrate...

It's not homework mate I'm genuinely failing to understand where to go from there.
What does /sci/ think about sage? It kinda seems like the unholy child of python and matlab.
>>7800603
I prefer using sympy+Ipython notebook because you can more easily port the code to larger python code.
>>7800603
First time I hear about this.
I won't lie, it looks awesome. Actually, I think this is exactly what I've been looking for.
Tried using Spyder before, it was ok. But I think this might be even better.
Can I write other python scripts using this, or is it strictly math only? I mean, there's an editor and a console, you can pretty much use it for what you need?

"Without pure mathematics, mathematics is impossible, without applied mathematics, mathematics is useless"
Thoughts?
>>7800475
Applied math works very well without "pure" math.
>>7800477
There wouldn't have been any applied math without it being "pure" in some sense.
First it is considered pure. Then it gets applied. Simple as that. Both are needed, both are getting work. None is better than the other.
You babbies better stop this debate.
>>7800545
"applied math" didn't wait for riemann to compute integrals.

But anyway, we always knew there was something out there in the Oort cloud which explains weird orbits of things like sedna through gravitational protuberance. This is nothing new. It aint no nibiru though.

Hey /sci/,
There are two modes of being: Coexisting and Dominating. Define Coexisting as existing in such a way that the damage done to other beings is minimized. Define Dominating as maximizing the spread of patterns that are similar to one's own patterns.
The majority of history has largely been a history of Dominating. This includes biologic and anthropologic history, as well as modern economics and zeitgeist. A Dominating society requires Balance of Power to sustain Individual Rights (=IR), a Coexisting society does not. Note that a Dominating society...

I wanted to write this because I read somewhere (regarding the Fermi Paradox) that if we "shout out into space", we will be annihilated for certain. In this scenario this would not necessarily be the case.
>>7797904
You didn't understand it. Read the definition. It's not about the "hierarchical status" but about world-view.
