You know the drill:
Ask math-related questions or post math problems, have people discuss them with you.
No college advice, no textbook recs.
Is Calculus 3 worth learning? It isn't in the curriculum and I have been told Cal 2 is all I will need.
Starting mechanical engineering in college this September.
What is kans acadimy?
>>7774635
define worth taking
So we can share cool stuff we are working on since there are a lot of areas of engineering.
/diy/
Fuck you and drink bleach.
The cancer has increased a lot this new year, jesus.

lol oh I forgot about this xDDD (y)
Is quantum mechanics a meme?
>classical physics : Nothing can travel faster than light
>quantum physics : it would appear information has traveled faster than light
.t. quantum entanglement
Look man if quantum entanglement actually worked we'd be using it by now
>>7774587
> it would appear information has traveled faster than light
>it would appear
>not it is predicted
its a meme, nothing travels faster than light
And you got a virus? If the ill effects we feel are our own immunity, what is the theoretical end result if the body decides not to fight it?
Like you have AIDS.
>>7774521
You die.
>>7774521
Depends on the pathogen. If it were an aggressive hemorrhagic fever, like Machupo, then you'd have invasive proliferation within the nervous system leading to grand mal seizures. There'd also be extensive internal bleeding as your capillaries and vascular system deteriorated. This often results in massive multiple organ failure.
Bugs like Neisseria meningitidis will basically run train on your body, spreading to the meninges and your bloodstream. Once sepsis has set in, you'll die in hours due...

ITT : we describe differences between types of engineers and why what you took was the best
all engineers of all stripes are the dumbest beings to walk the earth
>>7774515
I think that's a bit harsh.
Gunslinger/turtle engies are the worst.
Can you make crack with Cheetos?
perhaps
/sci/ everyone
>>7774513
Only if you study pure mathematics.
Convincing my 'big pharma' conspiracy believing sister to vaccinate her children. Plz halp
Nothing can convince her. Except maybe if her kid got measles and died or something.
Why is she against vaccines? Does she believe them to be ineffective? Or harmful? And in what way?
>>7774494
She thinks that
1: a vaccine shouldn't be needed every year against the 'same' viruses
2:the body can fight viruses naturally
>>7774508
Explain to her how antigenic shift and antigenic drift work in the Flu.

Is eating meat harmful to health?
How long is a rope?
>>7774391
It causes cancer.
So does sugar and sunlight, you need to get away from all three immediately.
Yes. That's why we have 8 teeth designed to eat it.
You what's harmful to health? Being a fat fuck.
What if we made /sci/ Into a miniature think tank. We're anonymous and free of personal judgement which will allow for free thought not hindered by judgement. We have a lot of different minds with a lot of different professions. Surely we could come up with some very interesting solutions to world problems.
tell me ur problem and ill solve it rite here rite now m8
>>7774329
>/sci/'s solution to education
>>7774329
Maybe not a /sci/ one, but an independent think tank with qualified people would be nice
Good news for the retarded oaf of the sea. Can you imagine the tragic loss to gaia if these fat fucks went extinct? #thehorror
I like them OP. No h8 bls.
>>7774307
yeah? well, these animals have no characteristics that I like or admire, and can't understand why people give a shit desu senpai
>tfw when humans are long gone they will adapt to land again and give rise to the next civilization-building species from planet earth.
Perks of being depressed as fuck:
>Improved my GPA from 3.6 to 3.9
>Read a shitton of books
Things that succ:
>I gained about 10 kilos during 2015
I never did exercise before but I used to be skinny and now I'm feeling like shit and I'm having (even more) trust issues and my anxiety levels are the highest I've ever feel
How can I lost the weight asap
I'm asking you for help cuz I don't trust /fit/
>>7774136
Read /fit/'s sticky. It's not written by a /fit/izen if you're that much of a faggot about it.
>>7774136
how about the fact that it's not the same cat ?
/fit/izen here to tell you that it's not really that hard. Either act on your impulses to succeed immediately or continue to sit and whine and be a fatass
I dont know much about university level education.
Is it possible to get into a uni for, say, Physics, then change your mind and do a maths course?
My physics ability is much better than my maths ability, but I find maths more interesting.
Depends where you go to school.
In America? Yes
>>7774113
UK. Looking at either Cambridge or Imperial.
>>7774120
I don't know shit about them. Try Google or email someone at the school, I'm sure someone has asked that before.
Is there some sort of mathematical significance to these birds?
No. Take your meds.
>>7774059
There is if you think there is, there isn't if you don't.
>>7774059
They're just awkward
I am a quantum mechanic
ask me anything
can i be thermodynamics?
>>7773914
how can you be sure
>>7773914
Yeah I've seen to be having some problems with my quantum carburetor, can you take a look at it?
Lowly electrical engineer goes to visit the Melbourne synchrotron facility and asks stupid questions, I cringed at some of them.

also, 48:30 - Omg! Breadboard! Breadboard!
>electrical engineers aren't physicists
Thanks for the heads up op
>>7773871
Have you ever studied QFT and Particle Physics? Do you have any idea how time consuming it is to learn that shit? There is no reason an EE should be expected to know that stuff.
