Hello /sci/ what are some good math/science related youtube channels? Also how much of pic related or numberphile or other pop sci channels is truth and how much is garbage?
Stop reposting this.
Used to watch "hi michael, vsauce here" some years ago but felt it got too theoretical.
Like that last video with the cake experiment.
>cut the cake in half many times
>lol infinite surface area and still the same mass
There is a point where you can't cut the shit more due to basic material science, triggers my autistic ass.
The channel is for thought experiments, not "real" science.

Well you fucking disgusting lazy faggot why don't you go fucking check their sources that they fucking list on their fucking videos and see for yourself how fucking reliable it is you fucking fuck piece of fuck lazy piece of fucking shit.
Seriously, people. Why do some of you think that you can come here and have us do your leg work? THE SOURCES ARE OUT THERE! READ THEM!...

All right /sci/ I have a question for you. I would like to learn as much as possible about math to better my knowledge. The highest level of math I have ever gotten to was about halfway through Pre-Calculus. Where could I learn higher level math online (for free preferably)
>>7728659
MIT OCW calculus (18.01), vector calculus (18.02), differential equations (18.03)

You sound like me a few years ago. EXACTLY like me. Wanting to improve your knowledge is awesome and valiant, especially if it goes toward something you have interest in. But I can't shake the feeling that you don't have anything to connect this mathematical knowledge to (programming, physics problems, electronically engineering) and you'll probably end up giving up your study a few weeks in.
learning about higher math will not 'better' your knowledge. you'll be trapped in a place where you will prove results and theorems about more and more abstract ideas until you realize you don't know how to connect to a single person without thinking they're retarded, when in reality it is you who are the stifled one with no knowledge about the world around you or how it works. good luck
Syllabus for my linear algebra class next semester. What the fuck is this shit? Why can't I just learn in peace?
I don't know man. I don't know.
I'm sorry that "education efficiency experts" have made teachers do this.

Because you're taking a pleb tier class
I hate this too, especially team projects, like an assignment for 2 people. I don't like to depend on some lazy fuck.
Could someone explain me how to go from blue to red? I've tried to do the triple integral integrating first for dphi and dalpha from 0 to 2phi and to 0 to phi? But I end up getting 2·phi^2 instead of 4phi
please help
OP here, I actually forgot the sin(o) when I integrated, I did it and I got 0, now I'm totally lost
>>7728460
I have no idea why you're talking about phi and alpha instead of phi and theta. But you integrate phi from 0 to 2pi and theta from 0 to pi.
>>7728479
It's spherical coordinates, no? Doesn't the phi go from 0 to pi and theta (or alpha?) from 0 to 2 pi?
If you had a tonne of water dumped on your head, would you die?
Or does the weight kinda disperse across your body because it's liquid?
>>7728387
This is the same as you hitting a tonne of water with your head, so think diving into a pool. Obviously it depends on the night you drop from
>>7728395
This. If you drop it on the first night, you'll probably just get wet and cold. However, if you wait two months to drop it, this would be the equivalent of smashing head first into a block of concrete at ~60 mph.

What gives? I thought Berkeley kids were supposed to be smart, but most of them don't seem to have a solid grasp of fundamental logical reasoning, let alone the material being covered. I TA a class of about 20 students and only 1 of them seems to consistently have a grasp of the material.
I admit the course and the exams...

For someone in math you have terrible logic
Hey /sci/, if you build a tower of hamburgers from Earth to Mars at closest approach, how much weight would all of the other hamburgers push down on the one on the surface of the Earth with?
it depends. is it in europe. probably several gigatons.
in america? quarterpound with cheese.
>>7728338
Distance from Earth to Mars in millimeters:
225,000,000,000,000
Height of one average 300g burger in millimeters:
100
Weight of one average burger granted it is only bun and burger ~330g
Amount of burgers you could tower on top of eachother: 225,000,000,000,000/100 =
2,250,000,000,000 burgers
Weight of the sum of all burgers minus the one on earth: 2,250,000,000,000*330 - 1 =
742,499,999,999,999 grams.
Translate to weight:
742,499,999,999,999 / g = 742,499,999,999,999...

my bad, not 2250000000000*330 - 1 , it should be 2250000000000*330 - 330
This board is full of shitty threads so I am going to try to make a not shitty one.
ITT: We teach /sci/ something science or math related.
I am going to go through a basic explanation of what a Quantum Field is because I am pretty sure a decent bit of /sci/ is familiar with the basics of QM but not so much QFT.
Ok so a Quantum Field is essentially a sum of operators and wavefunctions.
Say we have a theory where the state vector [math] \left| {n\left( p \right)} \right\rangle [/math] represents the nth energy level of theory with momenta p.
Then...

this is shit
poo in loo faggot
how much maths would i have to know to take a quantum mechanics book and breeze through it
You fucked up your latex OP. Besides, I don't understand any of the notation you're using whatsoever. But I have been looking for that pic for awhile it used to be my wallpaper but my computer broke so thanks for trying I guess.
Rate this school's chem program
*Modern maths is calculus for sciences
I have no fucking idea why they don't have them take differential equations, and linear algebra.

I was thinking of transferring there since it's an extremely cheap school, but they have some retarded course requirements.
Did he do it /sci/?
Someone here has to have an opinion on this.

where is the paper?

Why?
please help me sci not hmwk

Nobody here has taken calc 2.

Do you know how to use index notation, proving vector identities with tensors is a lot easier.

OP here i'll post what I got to, I know the curl of the gradient of a scalar is 0 what next?
Why is it called research?
What the hell is happening to that coin?

Analysis with an Introduction to Proof by Steven R. Lay
>>7726917
I like Lay too, but it's not a calculus book, it's an analysis book. It's basically a more formal version of Spivak's Calculus.

Learning new stuff is very difficult at first, but after some time it becomes easy. Sometimes I'll leave something for 24 hours, go do something retarded like shit post on 4chan, and come back later to learn/solve the problem with very little difficulty.
>>7726657
There is a bit of science behind this, but I forget what it's called. It has something similar to neuroplasticity and forming new pathways.
I can study the fuck out of something, hit a brick wall, sleep on it, and then everything clicks the next day.
>>7726684
Hmm... Intradasting.
It happens to me quite often, OP.

If you find it, please, tell us. I would like to know.
