good for her. so what's your point? Did you think this was /pol/?

>Mathematician
I respect the person but this is a lie that I assume was made by sjws to push 'le we are equal meme'.
And btw, yes, we are equal but we don't have to exagerate black people's achievements to make that point.
As stated in the picture, she was a computer. Not a mathematician. Back in those days, 'computer' was actually a profession and very distinct from the profession of mathematician. You would never see a mathematician do the...

they act like the engineers couldnt do that if they didnt have much more important and pressing matters, like design and analysis of fucking spacecraft and fuel systems
Where do you get in life as a mathematician and with a degree in mathematics? For those who have reached this level, where are you at in life and what are you doing?
300k starting
>>7794307
Pure mathematics grad here. I work as a software engineer in a private company. I do not use 'math' beyond arithmethic, algebra and algorithms but math is math.
Pay is good, job is mildly interesting, life is good.

Any job you want?
Is the universe 13.7 billion years old?
or 13.7 billion years old relative to Earth?
>>7794290
you must be 18 years or older to poast here
(it's 13.8 billion years old)
>>7794290
That is age measured in a fundamental observer. The difference between that time and one measured on earth in negligible.
Even if a micro black hole has only a mass on the scale of micrograms it is still a black hole which means it has an event horizon and an escape velocity that equals or exceeds the speed of light at or beyond this event horizon respectively.
Does that mean whatever "touches" the black hole cannot be detached from it since you couldn't possibly pull it off at lightspeed?
Well you would need to calculate the gravity of this particular black hole. Even really small ones have a lot of mass
>>7793835
Just read that you wrote micrograms, is a black hole like this even physically possible?
>>7793827
it would evaporate due to hawking radiation very quickly and effectively 'explode' because the amount of radiation emitted is inversely proportional to the surface area of the event horizon.
Why can you smell something through an airtight bag?
Because it's not airtight enough

If I shrink wrapped some weed, and hid inside of a smelly boot which is inside an airtight container which in inside my luggage, the dogs can still smell it.

How do I begin learning functional analysis?
(s)kill yourself
>>7793092
read a book
>>7793092
study set theory then group theory then abstract algebra then real analysis then complex analysis and then you can begin studying functional analysis
Hello /sci/,
I think I have found a direct proof of fermat's last theorem. It is only one page long but took me 3 days of thinking. After looking at it in retrospect, the solution seems very trivial - but I guess it's always so with NP-complete problems: Verifying is trivial.
There are two possibilities now: Either I am a complete retard or I was very lucky. In any case I have a couple questions for the case that I was lucky:
Is there a possibility to use it as a PhD thesis?
- If the theorem wasn't already proven then I know the answer...

a) you're a retard, your proof is probably wrong
b) this won't give you a phd unless you used some really novel technique for it which generalizes well
If you are really sure, hand it in as an article for a peer-reviewed article
>>7792985
>PhD thesis
No. You would need to show that you've put in an extensive amount of effort into research and have obtained a high degree of understanding. It's not enough to find a trivial solution to a problem.
You should publish it on Arxiv. Though, more than likely it's probably wrong. Many people have discovered "simple" solutions to the problem that have been later on proven incorrect.
>>7792985
did the "scribbled in the margin proof" bit inspire you to optimize a solution the problem ?
I'm impressed that you understand FTL in the first place.
one day i hope to be able to ponder some high level dank stuff like this.
(doing precalc on khan academy) so i'm retard tier
Polymer science is cooler than every other type of scientific pursuit.
Said no one ever
Condensed matte r physics is cooler

I thought I would hate it, but Physical Chemistry 2 is reaally neat.
Everything is less inert than I thought, and the abillity to make quantative predictions from simple models is really nice.
Reading a review on self healing polymers now, which is triple neat.
But please put a bullet in my brain before making me do the experimental work
I believe I can write a simple program which exhibits a very basic ability to be conscious and aware of itself, its processes, and the input which it receives. I believe that if basic AI is integrated into my program's algorithm, self-conscious and self-aware AI will emerge.
Am I crazy? I won't even say how I will do that because I'm afraid that it's a completely loony idea.

What popsci video did you see this time on YouTube?
you will be ASSimliated by an alien race with 20 years. It is inevitable, they possess nano-DNA technology that is unstoppable. It will convert and control your life unit to the service of the whole.
This is the real happening, and its coming. What do.

you'll be like, this aint REEL, and be off-guard. then you'll be fucked because you didn't prepare.... not me though, I'm preparing for this shit, not gonna catch me off guard! You can walk with the sheppard. Me? My eyes are wide fuckin open. - Jules.

First day of Data Structures:
Before class, there is a dude in front row with a mechanical keyboard on hacker typer.
Pop quiz at end of class,
In C++
1. Declare a 10 integer array called fluffy.
2. Declare a pointer to the 3rd element in fluffy.
3. Create a for loop that prints each odd number between 27 and 63.
4. Declare a filestream object for reading a file "data.txt"
Afterwards, professor asks who thought to themselves "What did I get myself into?", only people raising their hand are the 6-7 somewhat attractive...

Not to start a /pol/ thread, but how come although asians are smarter on average, all major advancements in physics are still made by westerners?
ju brainwashing
Who else would do it ? Some third world countries can't even live in peace among themselves, before reaching any scientific achievement.

When a biomedical article says:
"NC6 Acids"
What does that mean?

thanks but the article says acidS
I'm assuming it's a type of acid.
What does the 6 mean?

Hey I started learning Python from the online Google developers' course. Been at it for a couple of weeks now.
A friend (the one who convinced me to take on the challenge and learn it) has invited me to a hackathon.
I generally understand what a hackathon is, roughly, but I am trying to vision how it will be there and what I will find myself doing; he believes it will be a great environment and help me learning and developing - do you agree?
What things should I keep in mind when I go?
How can I make the most of it and find the most leverage that will...

How to become a programmer, for 4chan degenerates:
Step 1: watch some videos about a single programming language.
Step 2: participate in a hackathon.
Let me guess, you're one of these people who thinks that computer science isn't a real science.
