Would HS be better if there were PHDs teaching there?
School of Anime
- By Michio Gucci
>>8036244
Undergrads are generally overqualified for that, so not. Alumni segregation by capabilities and skills would make HS better.
My old high school had about a 5:6 PhD to pleb ratio in the sciences. It was called "St Paul's School" and was in richmond i think.
It was kinda weird - what kind of a human is going to spend several years completing a PhD and then spend his vast knowledge tutoring teenage retards?
But it was nice to be able to chat to these experts regularly, and I miss that kind of frequent contact now I'm at uni.
ITT I will try to summon Emma-Stone-fag. We recently had a discussion, allegedly with you, on computable/constructive spectral theorem.
Namely, if [math]A[/math] is an [math]n \times n[/math] complex-valued matrix, then there NEEDS TO EXIST an approximate spectral decomposition that is effectively computable/constructive. This means that there need to exist approximate eigenvalues [math]\alpha_1, \ldots, \alpha_n[/math], approximate eigenvectors [math]v_1, \ldots, v_n[/math] such that [math] \| A v_i - \alpha_i v_i \| \leq \varepsilon [/math], approximate projections [math]P_1, \ldots, P_n[/math] such that [math] \| A - \sum_{i=1}^{n} \alpha_i P_i \| \leq \varepsilon [/math] projecting onto invariant subspaces whose dimension and bases can be effectively computed and the whole space decomposes into a direct sum of those.
You recommended to contact some bigshot in this field. Apparently, they don't even notice messages among shittones of spam. If you have contacts to them by any chance, please ask. This problem has a number of serious consequences.
>>8036202
nigga no need for no big shot
1/fix an epsilon
2/start with the classical algorithm to find the biggest eigenvalue and an associated eigenvector (power method or a variation of the power method)
once you have that, you see that you only need to scale the eigenvector v1 you found so that ||Av1 - a1 v1||<epsilon.
Now you can just repeat by changing the matrix A into a matrix restricted to a subspace that excludes v1.
Eventually you get all the eigenvalues you want, the associated eigenvectors...

>to find the biggest eigenvalue
You immediately pooped your pants here.
>>8036202
Seems hard to believe. A can be any matrix? Not just hermetian or normal? Are the v_i supposed to be nearly orthogonal?
Seems like you are saying all matrices are nearly diagonalizable.
Does anything actually exist beyond physicality?
No.
everything "burns" if you "heat" it hot enough converting every physicality into energy, so the real question is:
Does anything actually exist beyond energy?
>>8036096
is energy not the movement of physical pieces?
Can we go to space with a sling shot?
yes

What do you mean by "we", Peasant?

Whoa! This is the coolest thing I have ever seen.
Who's the biggest meme scientist and why is it Michio Kaku?

Because he shits in science

>scientist
someone actually funds his "research"?
>>8035925
>absolutely mind-blowing
of course reddit eats this shit up
First they stated it was 1 out of 800
Then 1 out of 300
Then 1 out of 100
Then 1 out of 10
Then 1 out of 3
Now it's 1 out of 2

So:
A.) Psychiatrists are bad at math?
C.) More people are becoming ill [odd, I thought medicine halted epidemics]?
D.) More illnesses are being discovered
E.) Expanding criteria is either false or had until recently underdiagnosed billions
F.) The entire thing is bunk
G.) ???

This makes me very depressed.
More diseases are being discovered and the scope of prior diseases are being redefined. As you so very clearly illustrate yourself, mental health has very ignorant connotations associated with it and it's important to point out that not everyone who has some mental health related issue is a stark raving lunatic who has to be locked up in an asylum for the rest of their life.
You wouldn't find it odd for a doctor to state that >=50% of humans will experience at least a cold in their lifetime, and will at point during this benefit from a cough drop or aspirin....

Sharing is caring sweet /sci/
untestable, unprovable, hypothetical spitballing bullshit
>>8035884
So I just spent 2 hours research this for no reason?
the cat was mind controlled
the observer was mind controlled
the environment was never tested for EMF or radio or microwaves
the test was not valid
and your stupid results are invalid

Now tell me: when did you abolish infinity? Why don't you start a new mathematics that doesn't rely on hocus pocus?

I don't understand you
Are you being dumb on purpose?
I am a freshman at my university and I have programming One among other classes. My math skills suck ass and so I am doing college algebra (which is too fucking easy but I'm getting there), but I think I failed my first test since high school today.
The test was mainly on arrays and 2D arrays in Java. From a guy who has been doing really well in the class so far (96/100 total grade), I feel like absolute shit for what I believe is bombing this exam (probably scored a D or a C).
Is there any hope for me, /sci/? Can I still become a programmer? Did you awesome...

But I'm not only majoring in CS, anon. I was even thinking of switching over to CE, since my brother and father are computer engineers.
My granfather is an electrical engineer and my half uncle works in IT.

Yeah, no.
What does /sci/ think of abaci?
>>8035720
We use calculators here caveman.
>>8035853
You can do calculations on an abacus faster than you can type them into a calculator.
>>8035854
Is that why they use abacuses everywhere?
Is there any reputable interpretation of quantum physics that's deterministic, or am I just being dogmatic when I don't buy randomness

Bump for interest

Agreed, interesting question, bump

Bohmian Mechanics
I have to present an application of Multi-variable Calculus in front of the class tomorrow. What should I present?
>>8035527
derivatives
>>8035534
Yeah, what this guy said.
I recommend going the distance --> velocity ---> acceleration route
How the formulas for marmonic motion are derived. Its multivariable and its a differential equation.
What are introduction CS courses like?
>>8035258
typically you learn either Python or Java. Basic CS concepts, simple algorithms (bubble sort, etc..), OOP concepts, etc...
you get the idea.
if you've taken cs before expect to be bored out of your mind for at least 3/4 of the course
i don't know what it's like for a beginner, probably fine if you keep up
>>8035258

If you were to teach a class on a subject, what subject would you want it to be?
>>8035227
Advanced dildo manufacturing.
>>8035227
I would want to enjoy the subject and be of service to my students, and it would have to be something that I actually understand from multiple angles and have a personal track record of helping others to understand (or remember) if and when it becomes necessary.
So something in high school algebra/precalc/calc territory. Not qualified to be a uni prof famalam. Also HS kids are less insufferable than middle schoolers, the worst of the worst.

That chalk board is art. Beautiful.
