Yes, Perelman might be better at pure mathematics but Einstein might be more creative.
How do you mentally imagine 4th and higher dimension functions? lt's freaking impossible
>>8081064
I imagine it like a 2D space with 3 dimensions condensed into 1.
>>8081064
Math exists by itself, but not outside of itself.
Applied math is just situations that are similar to math.
It helps if you don't think of math in lower dimensions as physically existing in some space.
It's hard to conceptualize below one axis, so picture a line for that.
With two axes, you have a line with varying properties.
With three axes you have a line with varying properties and those properties have varying properties.
With four axes you have a line with varying properties and those properties have varying properties which have varying properties.
With five axes you have a line with varying properties and those properties have varying properties which have varying properties which have varying properties.
... and so on.
As a function with n dimension, i just think that the Y result depends on n things.
It doesnt have to be a thing visualizable per se.

how many times do you plan to post this shitty rewording of zeno bait here
>>8081038
Maybe I'm ready to prove how Zeno was on to something now?
So why and how do you disagree with what I've stated?
Zeno's paradox is irrelevant to everything, but also bullshit. It's on the level of "what's the sound of one hand clapping?"
Okay so ejaculation is caused by AFAIK release of epinephrine/norepinephrine release, causing contraction of the smooth muscles in some part of your genitals.
Would it be possible to design a drug, that through alpha 1 reuptake inhibition (NERI) or maybe agonism, would cause immediate ejaculation upon administration (I think IV would be the most pharmacocinetically interesting RoA) ? It could have some medical (for exemple in sperm banks) and recreational uses, but I'm interested whether or not it could be weaponized as a non-lethal incapacitating agent, released just like tear gas or whatever for LE/riot control/etc uses.
I did some research :
>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15674403
Methoxamine seems to have an effect, promoting correct ejaculation with few side-effects. Might a good lead, I think we should study this drug more in detail and maybe try to create some analogues that could be effective.
>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15674403
A1 antagonists make you unable to contract your dick's smooth muscle enough to ejaculate.
>http://bjp.rcpsych.org/content/177/6/567.3
An NERI caused spontaneous ejaculation (SE). I think it proves that it could be possible to design a drug specifically with these properties, since it shows that drugs affecting NE can cause SE.
>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19000555
An antipsychotic metabolizing to a NERI, also causes SE.
>http://www.lareb.nl/LarebCorporateWebsite/media/publicaties/2012_3_EJCP_ejaculation.pdf
Basically a literature review about cases of SE caused by NERI.
>http://parkinsonhope.org/rasagiline-induced-spontaneous-ejaculation/
MAO-B inhibitor causing spontaneous ejaculation. It might be a good idea to also study MAO-B inhibitors to create this drug, and maybe consider the drug having primarily MAO-B inhibition effects if NERIs fail to cause SE
What do you guys think ? Any suggestions ?
(sorry english is not my first language and I'm excited about this so I didn't take the time to check for errors)

This is beyond briliant. A drug that literally makes you cum, the amount?of potential junkies this product could bring, the revenue, if only we could?make it so no does in fact ejaculate and incoprate that in the drug. Jesus Christ whoever could make this would be filthy rich.
I think the opposite (a drug that can be taken at will to prevent you from ejaculating) would be more profitable.
Finished undergrad today. I was generally lazy and not very meticulous about my studies; as a result, I was only able to graduate with a 3.85 and cum laude (despite my last semester pushing my GPA over magna cum laude). I am doing a research-oriented MS before applying dor a PhD to redeem myself. How retarded am I?
>>8080982
Why would a lazy person go for a fucking PhD?
What the actual fuck. Why would you get a PhD if you are not the most dedicated person in your field in the entire universe.
Faggots like you keep telling universities that they have easy money by simply opening more spots than there should be so retards like you come in there, barely hang on for 2 - 3 years while having payments up the ass, and then leaving with no degree at all.
Just go get a job and go on with your life, you are clearly not even the type of person who should go to a university.
I can tell you right now, 50 years ago, you wouldn't have gone to a university. You'd be going to a tech school and smoking crack. AND YOU'D BE HAPPIER THAT WAY.
But you had to swallow the "university prestige" meme that simply says that instead of paying 500 dollars to get your electrician degree, you pay 50000 dollars to get your trans dance folklore studies degree.
Good job.
Other general stupid things I've done: pointlessly took 40 credits more than whay was required for my degree. Also, my semester grades are all over the place. I once literally had multiple (2) A+es and (3) As in the same semester as I had two Bs. My transcript literally makes me look like a genuine autist.
>>8080991
I'm lazy about doing class work. Certain class environments make me not lazy. I'm also not lazy when it comes tobmy research. (Research is why I want to go for a PhD.)
Also, I didn't pay anything for my education.
How do math departments decide who is qualified to teach advanced top level math courses like Complex Analysis, Topology, Number Theory, etc?
>>8080839
It just gets passed around that subject's qual committee members here.
If you make it to the point where you're hired as a professor of math at a uni ID assume you'd be able to teach pretty much anything.
>>8080839
Every faculty member and graduate student is qualified to teach those courses. Ideally the instructor in topology is a 1. a professor and 2. topologist so he or she can answer more advanced questions from curious students.
Hey /sci/
I am going to be a freshman next year at a top 10 school in the USA, hoping to major physics.
Physics majors have Intro Series I, which can be completed in 3 semesters, and I will probably be able to get an A in it.
Then there is Intro Series II, which is very accelerated, takes two semesters, and is often described as the most difficult course on campus by both students and advisers. I would probably end up with a B in this course; it is very difficult to get an A.
Should I go for Intro Series I or Intro Series II? Does difficulty of your courses, especially the ones early in you undergrad career, matter for HYPS Grad Schools? Will it affect my internship opportunities with national laboratories, like Los Alamos? Will it affect my opportunities with professors?
I ask all this, because I am curious if all these elite institutions will pick from those attending the most advanced classes, like in high school, for amazing opportunities. I think I could perform at the top in Intro Series I, but I don't know how I would do in Intro Series II, I would probably be on more mediocre side.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I don't think anyone cares what school you went to, or who's dick you sucked.
If you can do the job you're told to do, then that's all there ever needs to be.
Should've stuck with economics bro.
>>8080736
Dammit OP. Do you realize how hyper-competitive physics is?
Any discovery that you make would've been made by someone else 10 minutes later.
For fuck's sake, if you're actually not a retard, work on something that actually matters, like nanotech or biotech or 3d printing or AI.
The last thing this world needs is more fucking physics majors.
>>8080756
b-b-but the memes told me to do physics
I am interested in condensed matter physics and its industrial applications, and computer security.
I'm not doing it for the pop sci physics like cosmology and particle physics.
What are /sci/'s favourite scientific disciplines?
Mine is astronomy.
>>8080647
>scientific disciplines
>astronomy
I hope you meant astrophysics, pleb. Astronomy is better than astrology, but only slightly better than photography in terms of actual science.
>Astrophysics master race here
>>8080667
Isn't astronomy pretty much experimental astrophysics? Like astronomers observe shit, astrophysicists explain said shit.
>>8080671
No. "Experimental astrophysics" is experimental astrophysics. Explaining the shit that experimental astrophysics observes is theoretical astrophysics. Astronomy is just a hobby.

Computerphile has gone to shit lately too, case in point:

How can you transform any image from the left one to the right?
I want to do this WITHOUT choosing 4 reference points, but i DO have access to metadata like roll, pitch and yaw
>>8080466
if it is modelled in 3d and you have roll/pitch/yaw you just set 2 of those to 0 and one to 90
What happens if you just pick the edges of the first image and apply the same transformation?
>>8080488
OP here:
I need to do this for multiple images, which all have different roll/pitch/yaw.
I want to create a birds eye view, so I don't know if what you're suggesting would help
