How would one induce symptoms of liver cancer in a dog without actually inducing liver cancer?
Would leptospirosis produce anything visible in an x ray? What if a large amount was used initially?
Is diethylnitrosamine orally active? Could you squirt an eyedropperful into a dog's mouth and induce liver cancer?
what the fuck kind of question is this?
trying to figure out if my dog was poisoned

Admit it. You're doge's an alcohol and it's destroying his family-ver.
Hey /sci/, I'm looking for a book that would contain the summaries of all important scientific fields, and the important natural laws and scientific theories, basically a book(series) that would serve as the ABC of scientific literacy. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
>>7964566
there is absolutely no need for something like this. it's also a tremendous project and completely unattainable.
choose a field and read on it
>>7964566
Download wikipedia and click 'print'
>>7964571
I'm talking about short summaries, not in-depth explanations. basically something like shortened wikipedia article-level explanations. should be doable in 1000 pages easily and I'd be surprised if something like this doesn't exist
should you have to have a certain iq to study STEM? I fell like some people just arent smart enough.
computer """"""science""""" posters not welcome
>>7964331
I think motivation is more important. You could be super intelligent, but if you hate Chemistry and wanted to do Physics instead, then -unless for some reason you HAVE TO major in chemistry- your super intelligence won't be used at its best.
>muh Iq XDDDD
yeah man
you need 300 iq of to post on &sci/ or you are an brainlet xDxDxDDXD
>>7964336
Pretty much this.
I am so dumb/lazy I have never even completed an IQ test. On the other hand I have a GPA of 7 because I love learning shit.
And then on the other hand I will probably be worthless at applying any of this in practical situations. I fucking suck balls at working.
Is /sci/ a good place to talk about a perceived collective entity?
I'm trying to start a discourse on how groups of people in a "safe space" will perceive those outside of it as an opposing, unified person or entity, instead of a group of people.
Also here's a rock.
>>7964195
/sci/ is more like /natsci/, so this might not be the best place to ask.That said, when arguments not necessarily on natural sciences kick off, some intelligent /sci/ posters will often offer their (mostly) based insight in the subject.
Your OP however seems like a barrel of dynamite waiting to go off. Someone could point out that the safe space you are referring to could represent /pol/ or /SJW/, and there goes any hope of rational argumentation.
>>7964211
I figured that much, but I was still hoping to talk or learn about how it can be used as a logical fallacy. There doesn't seem to be a lot of elaboration on it as is, and I'm trying to scrounge up what I can.
>>7964221
How do you think it can work as a logical fallacy?
Is this good book to learn math /sci/ ?
No, but the 1001 problems book is good practice.

I like the Algebra book by Gelfand. I've never looked at the from Dummies book, so I can't comment on it.
On circle with center O are points A, B, C and D and so that AB and CD are perpendicular diameters of circle. Point M is inisde of line segment AB. Let N be a intersection CM with circle. Tangent line at N intersect with perpendicular to AB at point M. Prove that PO=MC

I don't even know if i should post this to /tg/ but what the hell.
i've always been interested in cyberpunk literature, but the setting usually only focus on the cybernetic approach of human augmentation.
however, i'm curious about what would our civilization do with biological augmentation.
so let's say we gained an extensive knowledge on biology in general and the stigma of human augmentation was gone, what would we use said knowledge on, except curing disease and making us barely age ? i'm actually very curious about what you...

Daily reminder that no mathematician took negative numbers seriously until like 300 years ago
Negative numbers are fucking absurd though, and that was a mistake
No one has -3000 money, you owe 3000 money
Anyone who thinks negative numbers aren't absurd is welcome to draw a picture of -4 sheep to prove me wrong
>>7974244
Who said numbers had to be tangible things in the universe? As long as it has uses to us, we will use it. You can't have 'i' sheep, but using imaginary numbers has many valid uses such as in quantum mechanics. You have a very narrow mindset of maths and numbers in general.

Negative four dollars famalama. The idea of debt made numerical.

>No one has -3000 money, you owe 3000 money
Yeah but when you're modelling this with equations and whatnot it's convenient to have some property of an amount that signifies whether the money is owned or owed, negativity does this.

We all know most popsci is annoying, facebook pages like "I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE" and 9gag posts that end with "fuck yeah science !!!" when talking about melting ice or some other shit by using oversimplified explanations.
But is there any popsci you actually like ? To me Vsauce is pretty good, he's accessible but touches on a lot of subjects and introduces some cool ways to look at things while often giving links to interesting websites.
Computerphile are very entry level in most of their videos but occasionally they show some more in depth and...

i do agree with you,Russell.
Michael is a nice guy.The way he introduces science to kids is very nice.
>>7972454
Vsauce is cool. I also like Veritasium.
Vsauce gets a little annoying at times. Veritasium, however, is pretty cool, except a lot of the stuff he talks about falls more under the category of actual science, rather than popsci.
For example, he as made some videos that demonstrate and emphasize the principle of falsification and its importance in science, whereas popsci sources throw around bullshit nonsensical phrases like "scientifically confirmed", as if science is a process of positive confirmation as opposed to falsification.
What do /sci/ think?

How common are macroscopic parasite infections?
Are they prevalent where you are? (and which country you're at?)
Do anti-parasitic medicine work?
How do people end up diagnosing their infection?
I can't imagine a case where my doctor actually believes someone's concerns for parasitic infection. Are people overlooking potential parasitic infections? Can they go unnoticed?
Is this equation... anything?
No. (next time just use a search engine)

>""""""""""""function""""""""""""
It's just two functions that diverge to positive and minus infinity at a growth rate of x^3.
>>7972196
I'm a fucking first year CS major in complex analysis and abstract algebra. Just thought I'd inform you that you're going to lose a job to me someday.
The limit of a function f as x approaches infinity is L if for every number M > 0 there exists a number N such that for all x>N we have that |f(x)-L| < M.
For example, the limit of cosine(x) as x approaches infinity does not exist. The limit as x approaches infinity of 1/x is zero. The limit as x approaches infinity of (1+x^-1)^x is e.
