How would you go about explaining why understanding math is important to the average person?
>inb4 it's not.
I ask this in response to the multitude of "why will we ever need this?" that still gets asked in my college math classes on a weekly basis.
Because it exercises the brain and grows logical reasoning. It's functioning can also be applied to other academic areas (e.g. Wittgenstein).
Well if by average person, you mean someone who isn't in a job that uses math, then yeah, it's not.
Hey /sci/. I sure someone here ca help me. Im curious about how often any given locan may be recorded my satelite. Like for example would it be possible from some source for whatever cost, to be able to view satellite images of where I live on or near a given day.
If you have your own satellite network you can watch yourself on a live 24/7 feed if you want.
Hate to sound like an edgy neckbeard, but the psuedo-science that is Creationism shouldn't even be accepted. It's disgusting.
whatever
if god didn't create all this, then who did ?
which only leaves god :^)
They have been brought up with it since birth. It's practically hard-wired into their brain. Literally nothing can change their mind.
How can i improve my thinking skills /sci/?Im going to start learning math from the beginning and read more books but are there other things of which i should be aware/add to my daily routine?Im also trying to fix my sleeping routine and eat more healthy.
You can't. It's determined by your genes.

Is he the undisputed master of linear algebra?

Me.
This handsome fellow right here. His book is DOPE for first semesters.

Aaaaaxler, otherwise it just does not make sense.
I am writing a book and need information. If two people were on a place where gravity is half Earth's, I know they'd weigh half as much as normal. My question is this: would their punches still hold the strength of a punch on Earth? Would punching one another send them double the distance? And how would falling long distances work? Would the damage from hat be halved?
>>7788488
1) The punch should be equally strong in both environments, so the person in the lower gravity place will fly further. Only problem would be the lower gravity affecting the stance of the puncher. Lower gravity means lower friction between the ground and the puncher's feet. Imagine punching someone on an ice rink to see why this might be a problem.
2) Yes, falling will hurt half as much given half the gravity.
>>7788519
The punch would be stronger, half the downward acceleration.

Thank you very much.
Hey /sci/ I was wondering if you help me build a crib sheet
If you can could you explain how to do these things and the terms associated with them?
If so I will try and give you a triforce

I have a funny trick: i just memorize everything. The teachers nver find out. Its hilarious
How the third step was possible? Either the book is wrong or I am retarded"?
>>7788406
Haven't they just multiplied by [eqn] \frac { R_E + R_B } {R_E + R_B} [/eqn] ?
From third step, I assume you mean the third equation. All they did was multiply both numerator and denominator by (R_E + R_B).

Is it useful for anything or is it just hyped up bullshit touted by hippies and rave-goers? I know some people who claimed it helped them understand some Geometric concepts more easily. I personally understood fractal concepts more easily for some reason, but I think overall it's not all it's cracked up to be and it is potentially dangerous if used incorrectly.
Yeah, you got to be careful with caffeine. Just a couple tablespoons is enough to OD.

Nicotine is a pretty sweet drug anon, but there's not a lot of benefit to it imo.
Haven't done LSD, but I've done shrooms, and the general consensus seems to be that the two are quite similar. In which case, no it is not bullshit. Shrooms were a mind blowing experience and have really changed the way I think about the world and the way i see it in day to day life. Definitely had a lasting impact on me. As for whether it's useful, it depends on what you define as useful. It's useful for "opening" up your mind a bit and gaining a new perspective.
what's the cost to clone something in terms of like lab equipment? and have scientists created artificial wombs yet?
>>7788342
Did you even bother to research this yourself?
>>7788356
It's an interesting topic if everyone just used google there wouldnt be any boards
this is just a meme right?
Some sort of joke that mathematicians tell eachother and have a great time when people act like they've understood it, right? RIGHT?

Suppose there are 1000 doors
The host opens all but two and the one you selected
Do you switch?
Now reduce the number of total doors to three

They did a MythBusters episode on this, apparently it actually works.

Is this real or CGI ? We've been debating with a friend and the movement when it starts bouncing looks really odd.

I had this theory when i was in high school that if we can find a way to insert and remove protons from an atom we can just produce gold from shit like copper. Turns out when i grew older and learnt more shit things weren't that simple
I want to study basic human/animal biology. How should I get started? What are the best places to learn? What qualifies you to answer this question?
>>7788279
ur gona hav 2b mor specific.
read textbooks
read journal articles
watch videos
pick a niche
i hav a degre in microbiology with a focus on immunology
>>7788279
http://connect.customer.mheducation.com/products/connect-for-brooker-biology-3e/
start with that
1.) buy the campbell (that big bio book with the frog on its cover, you know) and an atlas of (systematic) human anatomy
2.) read both on your comfy couch
3.) i have 6 peer reviewed pubmed papers in biomed
