84% chance you will fail(CI 95%: 73-95)

A coin is flipped repeatedly. What is the probability that the first instance of two consecutive heads precedes the first instance of three consecutive tails?

If you choose one of the following randomly, what is the probability it will be the answer to this question?

a) 25%
b) 50%
c) 25%

Absolutely. Go for it man!

It gets mentioned a lot. It's a meme field.

You win!

Yes, you already lost.

>No this is not some meme, I want serious discussion.
You came to a meme board. If you want serious discussion:

Krusche's book using R is good because you're actually doing the calculations as you go and building complexity. I think it's called doing bayesian data analysis.

Bayesianism is a meme. Every scientist uses hypothesis tests.

Okay, let me ask something related:
Why are geometric theories singled out in the first place?
Why are theories with axioms that have more complicated quantifier structure not captured as easily?

Not everyone was born with both high IQs and extroverted personalities.

Some people are just destined to be plebs and lab monkeys.

Quite possible my friend :^) Here you see one of your fellow shitfrog taking a breathtaking trip to the endless space. The future is truly here =^)

The biggest false assumption you make of magnets is their strength over distances. The strength of a magnetic field due to a magnetic charge is inversely proportional to the distance from the charge squared (r^-2). Not to mention even if you got strong enough magnetic charges, on these satellites, you could never keep them in orbit. Also, this wouldn't create anything even remotely similar characteristically to the magnetic field that our planet has.

So no your idea is batshit retarded and you don't...

It really depends on the book and how well I already know the subject.

If you're worried do Chem+ChemE

In terms of pixels, that's an exceedingly large image for a periodic table which contains relatively little information and is significantly out of date.

Not chem here (math) but it's kind of cool that the seventh row will have everything completely and officially named by the time you start studying, anon. I can remember a time when "unununium" (nice word) was common.

Good. Condensed matter is a big field right now.

>>7781566
condensed matter physics covers those areas? i thought i'd have to go into electrical engineering.

soooo.... what's going on?

monitoring thread. I've asked /g/ and /sci/ the same question and no good answer. Just looking for a good place to start like a textbook. I don't know anything about programming either but have a bs in microbio.

Once again sci proves its retardation. If anyone here was actually in college, at least someone would be familiar with one of the biggest research areas in CS and biology.

There were several textbooks on computational biophysics recommended in the textbook thread, other than the ones posted on the wiki. But since you're being such a little bitch about it I'm not going to repost it, go find it in the catalog yourself.
