How wise is it to double major in Computer Engineering and Applied Mathematics?
>>8150299
I am of the school of thought that double majoring is stupid in general. If you have the extra energy then use it for non-academic but constructive purposes, even if the double majoring only implies doing 1 or 2 more classes per semester.
But assuming that I am wrong then your combo is not good enough. You will likely get all the applied math you need from CE so if you really want to expand your knowledge you would be better off doing CE and pure mathematics.
Applied math degrees that I've seen are very low on math.

Double majoring is fucking stupid. You can probably pick up some classes in either field to fill up some general electives, but double majoring prevents you from getting in depth with anything at all.
Is there any real basis for being a vegan?
I mean is there a practical way to get all the proper amino acids and proteins etc. from a completely herbivorous diet?
You could probably check it on your own if you really wanted to know the answer.

>I mean is there a way to get all the proper amino acids and proteins etc. from a completely herbivorous diet?
Yes, absolutely
>is there a practical way
No, not really. I mean you COULD go out of your way to breathe only from scuba tanks whose contents were collected in Cambodia, but...Why would you when the alternative (Just, y'know, breathing like humans normally do) is not only moral and ethical, but less costly and more effective?
>>8153884
No. Only if you apply the same ethnical standards to animals that you have for humans. This is something most vegans seem to randomly do.
You are an omnivore and shouldnt ignore your nature
Did humans invent math? Or has it been in the universe the whole time?
yeah they invented math. they also invented gunpowder, telephones and teacups and many many other things.

let me guess, you just watched two religious/atheist apologists debating while pretending to be intellectuals, and pretending to understand the most complex aspects of modern cosmology
1. Read all the good books in your field
2. Read even more
3. Ask if you can join a research group as an undergrad
4. Prove your skills
5. Apply for even small grants and awards
6. Make connections with your professor's colleagues and other research groups
7. Never say no to a good offer
8. Snowball effect begins

Th-Thank You.
You have no idea...

You won't know what to read if you aren't sure of a project.

Huh, I guess that makes sense.
Does the hard problem of consciousness invalidate materialism, /sci/?
do you think consciousness is some none-material soul or something ?
>>8142022
only if you define conciousness to be some meta-physical thing, which it's not
any half way intelligent person can deduce the mechanism that generate self aware behaving entities
So wtf exited the Markarian 335 black hole some time ago?
>>8155515
A burp
>>8155618
A burp with X Radiation larger than our galaxy? And also, the "burp" was measured as a physical object. What gives?
Shouldn't the fact that we observed a coronal mass ejection from a black hole be a sign that the entire theory of black holes is wrong?
What kind of software do engineers use?

Your mom's software.
I keep hearing a lot about the theory of multiple genders, and I was wondering if there was any proof of it.
Has science found any possibility of a third gender? Can the brain actually shift through male and female?
What do you mean by 'gender'?
>>8147741
Anything biological or related to how you feel.
>>8147742
Males tend to have more testosterone, while females have more estrogen. It all comes down to what's between your legs.
On social media:
> E.g. Some science page on Facebook says that there are plans to mine the moon in an article.
> Middle aged admin assistant from Tennessee: "What if the moon falls out the sky? Why don't scientist think of that, huh?"
> Some smug guy (for some reason usually Indian): "Maybe humans should stop destroying this planet before going mining others"
> Someone points out that no life grows on the moon
> Guy #2 "Excuse me, how do you know there is no life on the moon? I have a degree in forestry management, I am an expert on these matters"
> Walmart cashier: "Huh! Silly humans, caring about rocks in outer space. I'm so enlightened through all the inspirational quotes I share form Mind Unleashed"

Maybe one day I'll find one who actually knows about QED and not just "LSD and Terence McKenna maaaann..."

Does this interest you guys? idk
I will answer any questions you give.

How many lemon batteries are necessary to create enough power to kill a man?
>>8149560
Real problem here.
>>8149560
Around 150
>>8149560
just beat him with a bag of lemons, you absolute idiot
Well, /sci/?
>>8145488
is he equidistant from the two?
I didn't think so....
this picture proves that the sun is actually just someone pointing a laser in the sky.
>>8145488
I don't understand, is he flat earthing?
How possible would it be for a crazy virologist to create and spread a superbug/epidemic like the Zika virus? Or really any serious virus that would cause a bunch of problems.
Is it even possible?

Wow interesting. I always thought Anthrax was a chemical agent like mustard gas or cyanide. I'll read up on this.
Pretty stupid of me to think people haven't attempted this before
Do batteries get heavier when you charge them?
Yeah because electrons are heavy.
Are you retarded?
>>8150750
yes, if you store an energy E in the battery (which is more than the available energy), the mass increases by E/c^2
I'm reading spivak's 3rd edition of calculus, and I'm wondering how many of the practice problems do you guys do? I'm still on the first section and have been doing 1 or 2 problems from every question.
I don't do as many as you desu I just do a handful per chapter
Why Spivak instead of Apostol? They're equally rigorous, but Spivak just tries super hard to be as difficult to understand as possible.
>>8152944
Depends on how much do you want to learn. Sometimes he introduces concepts that are not explained in the chapter.
