Is Cleo a genius?

/sci/, who is Cleo and how to get as good as integrals as her?

for the uncultured: https://math.stackexchange.com/a/563063

Who is this Cleo bitch on Math Stack Exchange, how is she always able to quickly find solutions to incredibly hard integrals, and why does she never post a fucking proof?

CLEO is having an online conference right now with some really cool talks for people into spectroscopy and physics.

The registration is completely free so come on over if you wanna see some cool science!

Remember, you are not locked into a single axiom system. You may invent your own, whenever you wish — just use your intuition and imagination. - Cleo

What is the point in teaching engineering students to solve integrals and find derivatives? All you need to know is how to set up a physical scenario into an equation and the actual solving can be done with software or ask Cleo. It's as pointless as teaching long division now that maths software is widespread and easy to use.

Why do mathematicians insist on having proofs of all results? A case in point is Cleo on math stackexchange. Cleo regularly is able to come up with values of complicated integrals faster than any one else, but because she does not post a proof, people say that her results are useless or disrespectful. In fact all proofs depend on axioms, so if a result is known to be true, one should just work in an axiomatic system that accepts it as an axiom. I prefer this approach when I know the result. Therefore, Cleo in fact gave full proofs. It is like Bertrand Russell says about the First Cause argument:
" If everything must have a cause, then God must have a cause. If there can be anything without a cause, it may just as well be the world as God, so that there cannot be any validity in that argument. There is no reason why the world could not have come into being without a cause; nor, on the other hand, is there any reason why it should not have always existed. There is no reason to suppose that the world had a beginning at all. The idea that things must have a beginning is really due to the poverty of our imagination. Therefore, perhaps, I need not waste any more time upon the argument about the First Cause. "

How do people like Cleo do this so fast?

Why are you on /sci/ instead of making gains like Cleo?
http://math.stackexchange.com/a/908325/290074

Please post some exact solutions for "well-known" constants.
Here, "well-known" includes AT LEAST 10 constants beyond e and pi. Have some rationality in what you'd consider a "well-known" constant.
Does this "cleo" character have a tendency to share surprising solutions for various constants? Is the "cleo" character an application of the "Wolfram Alpha"?

Sydney University physics undergraduate maps huge plasma tubes in the sky

A Sydney University student has for the first time used radio telescopes like a giant pair of electronic eyes to locate huge plasma tubes in the atmosphere that interfere with astronomy observations and which could affect some civilian and military navigation systems.

Scientists have long thought that the interaction of the earth's magnetic field with energy from the sun would create huge tubes of plasma. But they have never been able to directly observe them over large scales or determine their shape. Until now.

While still an undergraduate, Cleo Loi, 23, used the Murchison Wide Field Array in the Western Australia desert in a way that no other radio telescope has been used before.

Compared to men, women have about three times the number of connections between left and right hemisphere. More intuition, less narrow focus, more creative options. For men, genius and insanity are close neighbours.

How do I get good at solving integrals, like Cleo from Stack Exchange?

I've heard that one doesn't learn much about how to solve integrals past first or second year of undergrad, after being done with Calculus and complex analysis. What are the prerequisites? What books are there that are just dedicated to solving integrals (not numerically), if any?

Is this this best math stackexchange user or what?
Seriously, just look at all the butthurt he gets, and his nonchalantness about it all.

http://math.stackexchange.com/users/97378/cleo?tab=answers&sort=votes

Just click any question he answered and look at the butthurt comments following them. Pure gold.

This is Dean Radin, (pic below the attention getter) some of you may have heard of him, but I came to hear of him from here at google tech talks:

tl;dw: This man suggests, showing data, that there is reason to believe that the mind is capable of preparing for events without physical cues, influence thoughts of others, and influence matter. Read precognition. telepathy and telekinesis. No spiritual explanations mind you, and no suggesting that miss cleo is right. The Q&A starts at 56:56 and I must say that the defense of the data is pretty robust.
