Has anyone had luck picking up women by through tutoring or helping with homework? Please share your experiences. A girl I have liked for some time asked if I would help her with math next semester, and I'm hoping by doing so I might be able to kindle a spark between us.
I think she said she'd be taking the lowest possible level; what is that typically at college? I've only really tutored people I shared a class with, never someone this far behind, anyone have tips as to how I should prepare?
In high school, yes. Never bothered in university, because it was easy enough to meet girls elsewhere.
Here's an idea, though. Instead of waiting until next semester, how about you ask her on a date now?
>>7687636
She currently has a boyfriend. She said things aren't going well with him though. I'm just hoping I'm not already friend-zoned
>>7687632
This disparity in understanding may end up being something that insulates you from forming a real relationship with her.
What's the most attractive part of the male body to females on average?
I know males seek face+tits+ass the most, but how bout women?
I dont know if anyone has that jpg laying around but surveys said broad shoulders was first along with ass surprisingly
>>7687557
shoulders, ass, hands
>Shoulders/ chest
>Arms
>Ass
>core
>Face
Face needs to look cute, the rest need to look strong while also giving the impression of agility
Was browsing the pictures on the Handwriting Thread >>7683940 and a lot of Anons "comment" their calculations(writing out the steps they took).
Do you guys do it?
Do I need to do it?
Will it help me understand better?
yeah i do it, it generally helps when i'm re-reading my notes
i also do it on exams unless i'm rushed for time
I try to do it for every problem, unless the solution is super obvious, I'm pressed for time, or I'm not feeling motivated at the moment.
How in depth the comments are generally depends on how confused I was when I did the work. For problems that take me forever to solve, I might wind up writing a fucking book detailing everything and why.
>>7687509
Always, otherwise you'll get no clarity marks.
>>7687372
It really depends on the science.
if /sci/ knew how they would have invented something and not jerking themselves on about their schools on a chinese forum
>>7687372
i no rite?
why does /sci/ hate philosophy?
Just being tsun, anon-senpai.
>>7687269
Because Philosophy is dead
Because many people who deal in science love absolutes, and loathe subjectivity. Unfortunate as it is.
100 prisoners are imprisoned in solitary cells. Each cell is windowless and soundproof. There's a central living room with one light bulb; the bulb is initially off. No prisoner can see the light bulb from his or her own cell. Each day, the warden picks a prisoner equally at random, and that prisoner visits the central living room; at the end of the day the prisoner is returned to his cell. While in the living room, the prisoner can toggle the bulb if he or she wishes. Also, the prisoner has the option of asserting the claim that all 100 prisoners have been to the living...

What if randomly, one person is never picked?
>>7687274
after infinite time he will have been picked
Is mathematics (and theoretical physics) the type of field where you don't need to have, money, connections to academia, or even a degree to contribute to research?
Its intriguing how Ramanujan was able to generate his proofs in the slums of India without a proper college education. Or how Einstein formulated his theory of relativity while working as a lowly patent clerk. Or how Perelman solved the Poincare conjecture while unemployed and living in an apartment with his mother in Russia.
>>7687242
Math books are expensive. Of course you can use libgen. But then you'll probably get distracted and decide to post on 4chan instead of reading them.

So, no, you don't need an academic position to publish
You know exercise (especially cardiovascular) stimulates neurogenesis right?
Why don't you exercise regularly?
>>7687125
I do exercise regularly, but not for that reason.
Running makes you dumber, it is a waste of time for an intellectual.
>>7687125
How is neurogenesis beneficial? Does neurogenesis help with the overall function of cortical columns?
Why did the engineer cross the road?
To suck some fucking dick.
To shit on the other side?
OP here.
Sorry I made this thread, guys. I knew this was garbage when I was making the thread, but I couldn't help myself.
I've been making a lot of bad threads lately. I just like the attention I get. I think the only way I can get myself to stop is if people just stop responding to my awful threads when I make them. Deep down, that's what I really want and hope for every time.
Please ignore all my terrible threads; they're just cries for attention.
The best way you can help me is to just ignore all my posts where I try stir up...

what is the science behind humans believing in gorked shite like astrology?
The body wants to minimize effort at all times.
So people will be stupid on purpose so they don't have to think about complex topics. Astrology and Religion, Spirituality explain things in a simple context. It's just how normies are.
>>7686941
if dubs, astrology is a science
It's called psychology and it follows in their footsteps.
Is pharmacology a real science?

How far back in time do you think you'd have to go to be considered a genius?
I think I might have seemed pretty smart in the 12 century when trebuchets and wooden weapons of death made a military advanced.
IQ: 110-120
Qualifications: BS Computer Science
Work: Software Engineer (Gaems)
Academic Interest(s): AI/Deep Learning, Chemistry, Quantum Jargonics
Hobbies: Illustration, Animation.. Graphic Design/Motion Graphics
You might be smarter, but how would you demonstrate it? How would you even know for yourself that you're smarter than 12th centurians if you're incapable of demonstrating it?
What I mean is that, assuming it was just your body/mind that was transported back in time, you wouldn't have any technology to show them. Even if they did listen to anything you say, which is unlikely, they wouldn't give a shit or wouldn't understand most of what you have to say. None of it would be relevant, applicable, or translatable to their world. Also I can imagine that if you tried to criticise their reasoning or cultural norms, they'd just gut you.
>>7686937
>How would you even know for yourself that you're smarter than 12th centurians
More/better food, very little infectious disease, proper education
For a few decades last century the average IQ based on raw scores was 3pts higher per decade or some shit. Or in other words the average person now could go back to 1915 and get 130 on an IQ test. People today are demonstrably smarter than people not even that long ago.

I think reddit would be a better place for this thread. There you can circlejerk with equally cringeworthy people who also like to pretend they are polymaths just because they have a CS undegrad degree.
Hi /sci/. Is there any way a floating island could be built given our current scientific and engineering knowledge?
Possibly. But it would take a lot of time, a lot of work, and a lot of resources.
>>7686782
Yes. But the expenses and the degree of organization needed to pull of its construction far surpasses anything we've ever built.
And to what end? So that we can have a floating castle city in the sky? No advantage in doing so.
when we take derivative of e^(x^2+x), we treat x^2+x as a function.
But how can you take derivative of x^4 using chain rule?
It becomes zero, why? (4x^3)*0 (zero is the derivative of 4)
--------------------------
Also, is this the true statement for taking derivative of sinx using chain rule?
(1*sinx^0)*(cosx)*(1) (1 comes from the derivative of x)
Is there anything more disappointing than coming here and seeing people posting high school math shit?
I'm not sure about this but I guess it has something to do with the chain rule. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain_rule)
When you want to differentiate your first function you're actually substituting the function in the exponential by a new function (let's call it u(x)) so now your derivative becomes:
f(x)=exp(x^2+x), u(x)=x^2+x
df(x)/dx=df/du*du/dx
In your second function there is no function of x to substitute in your exponential. Therefore the derivative becomes 4*x^3.
>>7686733
Wrong. There is the function u(x) = 4.
The point is that you'd be differentiating something of the form x^{u(x)} which is quite different from an exponential, or a polynomial. So you'd have
[math]y = x^{u(x)}[/math] gives [math]y'/y = (u(x)\log(x))'[/math].
I'll let you work out the details to check it all works.
Is it possible to solve this limit without using L'hopital? I know how to solve senx/x but those "e" screw me up.
prob has to do with using hyperbolic trig identities on the denominator i don't fuggin know

0sin(2(0))/(1+1-2)=0
