What is the possibility of someone with Autism/Asperger syndrome having a high IQ or just being highly intelligent (implying that they haven't taken an IQ test yet)?
It's actually just a stereotype that people with autism or aspergers are intelligent. Most of them are below average intelligence but when they actually are intelligent they are VERY intelligent.

Having a brain that makes it exceptionally easy to identify types of rocks won't help you very much if you want to interact with society in a nonparasitic fashion.
>>8016671
Can confirm, I have aspergers and I'm a fucking dumbass.
tau or pi? and why?
also math discussion general thread I guess
Pi. Tau refers to Pi.
How come this is more fundamental than Newton's laws of motion? Some textbooks goes as far as claim that particles "smell" their way beforehand and you need quantum physics to explain it.
But when I solve problems, I usually get (with a constraint [math]g(x,y,z)=0[/math]):
[math]- \nabla U -m \ddot \bar{r}+\lamda (t) \nabla g=\bar{0}[/math]
But [math]\nabla g[/math] is just a normal vector to the path the particle takes, so [math] \lamda (t) \nabla g[/math] is a force that is normal to the path, which makes sense as you need some force to keep the particle on the path. And clearly [math]- \nabla U [/math] is the conservative force. I don't see how this has more than Newton's laws of motion. Yes, it is easy to solve the variation problem with more generalized coordinates but that's just change of coordinates.
[math]- \nabla U -m \frac{d^2}{dt^2} \bar{r}+\lambda (t) \nabla g=\bar{0}[/math]

Because it holds in so much more general situations.
i.e. Works for this [math] S = \int {\operatorname{dt} \left[ {\frac{1}{2}m{{\dot x}^2} - V\left( x \right)} \right]} [/math]
And also works for this, [math]S = - {T_{Dp}}\int {{d^{p + 1}}\sigma } {e^{ - {\Phi _0}}}\sqrt { - \det \left( {{g_{\alpha \beta }} + {B_{\alpha \beta }} + k{F_{\alpha \beta }} + k{b_{\alpha \beta }}} \right)} + {\mu _p}\int {{{\left( {C \wedge {e^{B + kF}}} \right)}_{p + 1}}} [/math]
>>8016491
Even if it works, can it still be fundamental?
is there a mathematical explanation for this?
explain the prob of 12 times zero in series part?
1/81 = (1/9)^2
= (0.111...)^2
= something about infinite sums
>>8016013
thats just a trashy calculation for assumption of random distribution of numbers in a run. 10^(-12) * 100%
why is graph theory such a raging meme?
What does this even mean? Are you asking why graph theory is becoming increasingly popular in the past 50 years?
>>8017136
No, OP is asking why it's such a raging meme.
Try reading next time buddy.
Because you are still not developed enough to understand its applications.
I got part A and B, but I don't understand part C. I have the solution but I don't understand it.
For (c), suppose that e_1 is in W. Then, there would exist N such that
[math] e_1=\sum_{k=1}^N c_k\sigma_k [/math]
But you showed in (b) that the e_n(k) were an orthonormal basis, so you start taking <·|e_N> on the relation and going down you will discover that all the c_k are 0. This is a contradicition so [math] e_1 \notin W [/math]
For (b), notice that e_n is NOT in W for each n, because <e_n|\sigma_n>≠0. Therefore, W perp is 0. Then you are done

My current life-plan is to go into computer science and neuroscience once I graduate from physics: I'll either somehow do a master's in both or jump straight into a PhD. But to do this I'll need to learn a lot..
I have a vague notion of where to start for CS
>Logic Manual
>Intro to Boolean Algebra & applications
>Code
>GEB
>Computability
>The Principles of Mathematics
>Intro to algorithms
>Principia Mathematica
>On Formally Undecidable Propositions of Principia Mathematica and Related Systems
(suggestions would be nice)
But as for neuroscience I'm not so sure. I'll have to start by learning organic chemistry for sure, but I don't know how much biology I'll need to know to have a holistic idea of the brain. Can anyone direct me here?
Thanks much.

Howdy, /sci/, what's your favorite insect defense mechanism or just oddball insect behavior? I'll start:

The motherfucking bombardier beetle, literally roasts its enemies alive. It ejects a mixture of two chemicals from its abdomen which, on contact, vaporize and rapidly heat up while traveling towards its targets, literally cooking them alive.

Asian bees are pretty neat. I know i'm terrified of those giant fucking hornets, but their ability to swarm and cook them alive is fascinating.

Why are insects so cool?
Anyone here can explain to me the problem of observation of quantum particles and how the simple observation can change reality?
I think that people is misunderstanding the whole point and adhering to it every kind of mystic beliefs. I love science but the quantum physics world is beyond my studies, so I'm reading on it but I can't figure the experiment point on my own.
>>8015831

It doesn't.

so the quantums have multiple "faces"?
Why all the importance of the discovery then? They make it sound like is much more than that
Say, what should one pick his engineering major based on? I'm doing an introductory year where we study courses representing multiple engineering disciplines, and it's safe to say my favorites have all been related or somewhat related to MechE, Statics, Dynamics, Descriptive Geometry and multiple topics of Physics.
But before doing this year I've thought I would study Electrical, based off my interest in it's real world applications. I would've liked to learn programming and I'm a huge fan of technology.
Tl;dr: should one choose his discipline based on how enjoyable one finds the courses or simply one that compliments his real world interests?
I know major questions belong to /adv/ but this is a more specific question which I thought it belonged here more.

I'm an electrical, but pick the one that interests you. I know lots of younger engineers who are ME and wish they did EE, CE.... And vice versa. You can always change horses if you feel your interest waning.
Cool datastructures?
I like quadtrees.
I like hexatrees.

Do you need a licence to operate a home lab?
I mean, say you synthesise a common drug. Can you legally sell it?
If not, what steps need to be taken to legitimise the lab?
Is there some kind of mandated purity test, or a requirement of a doctorate to work at such a task?
>>8015716
this is way to vague
if you dont have any restricted chemicals, and dont synthesize any restricted chemicals, then you can do whatever you want
if you do have something thats restricted, you will need some form of paperwork to have it / make it.
If its a food or drug, it needs to be approved by your countries department that deals with that sort of thing if you want to sell it, if it is on their list.
>>8015716
If it's a meth lab, then no.
Only if you live in the United States of Freedom.
So there does exist transgender scientists. Interesting how this guy happens to be female-to-male. Can females and male-to-females just not into science? I have never heard of any successful ones.
I just cannot ever understand how a trans person can become a biology major when they reject their own biology by claiming to be something they are not.
Then again, why are most scientists big time liberals? My biological anthropology instructor even said that 'gender' belongs to social anthropology while for biological anthropology you study 'sex'. These are the same exact term yet scientists seem to be treating them differently.
I should fear for the progress of science if we allow mentally ill deviants into such critical fields of study?
I mean, what is next? A transgender psychiatrist?

They really don't. You only think so because you have a biased view of how a woman should look. This could be caused by a variety of factors such as 4chan and/or residing in your parent's basement cut off from the opposite gender.
As a Doctor, I can confirm this.

Can someone explain the big bang to me?
I've read the wiki article but I'm a bit confused.
So the universe exploded out from a single point? But then the wiki article states that
>In the most common models the universe was filled homogeneously and isotropically with a very high energy density and huge temperatures and pressures and was very rapidly expanding and cooling.
so it was homogeneous as the big bang happened? then expanded and cooled as it exploded?
I also seem to remember reading somewhere that the universe came into existence everywhere and wasn't an "explosion"
for ~300,000 years, things fizzled into existence throughout all possible, physical space.
Now, things have condensed. It will only get worse as things won't stop accelerating.
We are some of the first kids in space.
>>8015373
You have a point. Using your picture it is point 0. In this point is a lot of energy and matter. All of this energy and matter can't fit in such a tiny point so it explores out. It then follows the rest of your spectrum on the picture. Try to think of it like if you forced a lot of stuff into a suitcase that couldn't hold all that stuff.
>>8015384
So the universe is expanding from a singular point though?
