Can you expect to contribute anything to science without some sort of college degree? Say you publish a peer reviewed paper, etc... Has anyone ever done this?
Probably in general not.
>>7758079
Probably. You just have to be disciplined enough to teach yourself a lot of material.
>>7758079
Possible but too difficult.

Maybe I could post this in a more suitable place, if you know of one let me know.

I know the answer is A, but how do I PROVE it algebraically? It obviously isn't b, c or d because they all involve division, but I wasn't so sure that it wasn't e, so I figured it out by plugging in a few test numbers and A was consistently bigger, then after thinking about the nature of logarithms, it just sort of 'made sense' that e would always be smaller. But how do I show that? How do I prove that (other than just plugging in various numbers of course)?
Sorry if this bugs you guys, I know the whole "we're not here to do your homework" thing, but I don't know where else to get to quick answers and feedback.
The exponential is an increasing function so as long as you know how to order a,b,c,d,e, their images will be in the same order
Another one.. I know I could add i + i^2 + i^3 + ... + i^23, and get -1, but I KNOW there has to a shorter way, rather than:
√-1 + -1 + etc etc

Lost you there, care to rephrase?
Why do protons, which determine atomic numbers, match up perfectly from 1 to 118? For example, the last element discovered, Ununoctium, has 118 protons. Is this just a coincidence? How come there are, for example, simply no elements that have 55 protons? Why aren't there any gaps?
>>7758004
I know there is an element with 55 protons, but why? Couldn't it have happened that there wouldn't exist one? Why are there perfectly 118 elements with protons from 1 to 118?
>>7758004
there may be more periods actually
also it's not like there is any amount of 117 or 116 for example

When will 2D women become real? When will my waifu become 3D? Is it possible? How? When will we acquire said technology?
I have come to think of one way: the Matrioshka Brain, that is, a computer powered by a dwarf star with such power that is able to create a simulated reality in your brain. Pretty much like the Matrix, but where everything is perfect. This would be possible in some tens of thosands of years, I don't know.
How else? When will we be able to make qt waifus real? Discuss.

gb2 that darpa thread or /b/ please

Instead of researching memestring theories about 13 dimensions we should strive to discover a method for travelling to 2D
A unit square is cut into rectangles. Each of them is coloured by either yellow or blue and inside
it a number is written. If the color of the rectangle is blue then its number is equal to rectangle’s
width divided by its height. If the color is yellow, the number is rectangle’s height divided by
its width. Let x be the sum of the numbers in all rectangles. Assuming the blue area is equal
to the yellow one, what is the smallest possible x?

Well, /sci/, what math does an engineer need? Which engineering majors need it the most?
Pic unrelated.
Faggot, no one wants to help a piece of shit engineer. Go major in math so you know all the math and can do what an engineer does. Faggot.

I guess algebra for formulas? Honestly a computer can do your job.
You need a constructive topos in which univalence holds. In fact, we all do.
Can someone recommended important, informative, scientific, factual, literature (papers/books) on happiness?
Things the literature could address for me to consider it informative/important include:
How it changes across your lifespan (so, hedonic set points and such), it's diminishing returns with money (up to $80,000 as studies show) addressing the Easterlin paradox, or other topics relevant to living a happy life for the average (or close to average) person.

I'd prefer scientific and factual literature because being mislead on such an important topic usually doesn't turn out well, since you'd eventually stumble upon the correct (or most agreeable) opinion by which time you might have invested on your time in the wrong activities.

How would you solve the equation x^(ax+b) = c?
can it be done? what's the steps?
logramethics.
The LHS is strictly increasing so just use the Bisection merhod.

Note: I am talking about NON-AMERICAN countries where you can major in Medicine, Law, etc as an UNDERGRADUATE)
Some high school students who got extremely good grades in their finals (i.e. good enough for Medicine in non-American countries) decide to major in stuff such as Physics, Anthropology, Linguistics, Chemistry, etc. in the hope of doing research in the future. Why would they pick that?
>If you don't have anything published, your funding will be cut and you will have no income
>There is no guarantee that you will like research and most people hate if over time
>Jobs are meant to be monotonous, not fun
>They can easily major in Medicine, Law, Actuarial Science, Dentistry science, etc and switch to research later on or do a Master's degree in their area of interest
>The market for researchers is very bad at the moment - it is 100+ people competing for a tenured professorship post and it will not be you getting that job
>Being an adjunct professor sucks as all the contracts are short-termed
>It is hard to even secure a mortgage with such unstable employment
>If you can't find any professorship job, it is hard to find anyone else to hire you as they know that you will go back to academia as soon as you find another professorship job, so chances are you will either end up unemployed or working at McDonalds during this time

What? All the statements I've posted are true.

why did you make the same thread again?
If, hypothetically, we could make something go faster than the speed of light, would it go back in time?
>>7756965
We cannot, theoretically.

We can't use physics to predict things that break the laws of physics.
Hey there /sci/, /lit/ here.
Can you produce an example of one relevant scientific problem that wasn't based fundamental philosophical assumptions?
Thanks.
>>7756850
no we can't, why do you ask?
>>7756850
Nah
How is a problem based philosophical assumptions?
How do we kill sociology?
Or just fix its incredibly broken academic community?
What's so broken about it?

The way to fix it is to get them to study the way the world works as opposed to the way they want the world to be.
Economics and power drives all human relationships, social norms develop only because the power that be endorse them and they are powerful because they have a monopoly on military power and knowledge. The powers that be endorse them because those social norms serve their power in some way.
Society is ruled and controlled by money, "money talks", everyone without exception is a self...

I enjoy studying mathematics as a hobby, mainly, and right now I've been pushing my way through into the land of formality and axiomatic systems. They were not joking when they said it was going to be traumatic.
Now, the question I've got is if it's possible to study mathematics on a higher level, as a hobby? I'm no genius but I'd like to believe I'm smarter than average. I primarily just enjoy playing around with ideas and discovering things, but I'm pretty awful at proofs and formality, although it's getting better, since I normally...

It's incredibly important to have an intuitive understanding of every concept you study. If you don't, you're just learning text and algorithms.
Tadashi Tokieda put it like this: I'm not proficient at reading sheet music, but i know people who are, and they can read sheet music and "hear" the music while reading. When you just start out learning how to read sheet music, you just learn what every line means, and maybe you read something like G A B F E etc....
