/sci/ - Science & Math

Guys help me out I'm having a real dumbfuck moment here I need to find the correct units for "a" the calculation is a = the square route of b divided by c where b is kg m^–1 s^–2 and c is kg m^–3 so what are the units for a and why???

This was another give away.

Been meaning to read that. Will do.

>"Woman" has a lot of conceptual baggage to live up to.
Care to elaborate?

There's a lot more to being a woman than cute or fuckable.

I haven't been on them for nearly any length of time that an outsider would notice. On the outside, I'm all dude with a slightly soft chest.

So far, I haven't been very preoccupied with gender or concerns about my appearance (general vanity). Now I'm just happy I can juggle a 19 credit/quarter course load and still shit post on 4chan from time to time.

>>4429012
The irony of all this is that I'm so much better at math, driving, thinking on my feet, coding, driving, everything on girl pills than I am as a guy.

I'm an uglier femshep.

>hiya. I've been on HRT for 7 months and I've noticed a large increase in self-understanding, interpersonal understanding, ability to focus, and I arrive at awesome ideas much more commonly than before. It is probably mostly due to dispelling depression, but you should also keep in mind that trans people on the whole have brain structs that are more similar to their professed gender. So hormones may be making things run more smoothly
Ok, cool. I may not be a genius but I'm in a hell of a lot better shape than before. Thanks, modern medicine.

If all you have is a hammer...

If all your social interaction comes from really abrasive anonymous internet forums...

Since this thread is headed nowhere, I'll acknowledge you. You're correct. I'm a trap, tranny, transwoman, transgender. You know, one of those freaks.

This opens up another question:
Was I just thinking with my balls this whole time without even knowing it? This vestigial thing which the anti-androgens are killing.

>Online test are not so good. You need a test that hands out different, yet equally hard answers each time. Psychologist usually do "real" IQ tests, just ask one.
Yes, that is on the agenda.

>Also important to be off the drug for a week or so to have a reliable control.
I'll bring that up with the doc but.... after finals.

>The trip is to help distinguish between the real me and some jerk
No excuses for the "Derp" though. I didn't put any thought into that. Guess I'm not so smart after all! Derp.

>>4428887
Give me a link to a no-bullshit online test of some sort and I'm game. Such a thing may be hard to find, however.

Maybe one of those speed reading tests?

>>4428884
>You do realize that this board is anonymous right?
Yes.
The trip is to help distinguish between the real me and some jerk who butts in with "im smart lol, Derp"

>>4428859
>No drug out there can make you "smarter", there is no free lunch when it comes to these things
One possibility considered: I had this potential that was already there, but it got released.

I'm not an expert in biology or drugs or narcotics or anything. I'm really straight-laced. I don't drink and I've never smoked weed. I'm sure the nootropics people can weigh in on this.

Another thing: Nobody takes this shit recreationally.

>Don't worry about this guy, he goes from thread to thread raging about everything
That's what I figured with the you're/your stuff.

>So do you really expect us to reach any sort of educated conclusion without actually know what sort of illness or medicine did you take? You think that the question "uh.. I think I'm sick and I took some pills now I'm smart. is this ok?" could have only one possible answer?
I don't know what I was expecting posting this thread. Some sense of relief? Some sort of lead to go on? Something...

The condition that they're taken for is really, really controversial and would completely derail the thread. I'll wait a bit before disclosure. You can keep on guessing for now.

Addendum

Q: Ok so what drugs are they? I want super smarts you stupid nigger faggot. Stop stalling on us, attention whore. saged, reported
A: Chances are that they would not have the same effect on the vast majority of you as it would on me. I've searched around and could not find any case of anything like this happening, though admittedly I may not have found such a case. Furthermore, you would be very DO NOT WANT about the other effects that they have.

They are not antidepressants or any sort of AD(H)D meds. They're also perfectly legal (/w prescription) in most of the developed world and I did not smuggle them or get them from some shady online pharmacy.

Hi /sci/, I'm in a very, very, bizarre situation and I'm not really sure what to make of it at all

I've recently been prescribed some somewhat controversial meds. I will not elaborate on what those meds are or for what condition just yet. I'm posting about the side effects, which I was not at all prepared for or expecting in any of my preparatory research before taking them.

So what are the side effects? I don't even know how to express this without coming across as a huge blow hard, know-it-all, braggart, troll, whatever, and I know I'm going to be called all these things and more but fuck that, here it is: They have given me a level of mental focus, clarity, and insight that I have never experienced in my entire post-pubescent life. My coursework just makes so much more sense. I sleep deeper, more consistently, and I'm far more well rested when I get up. If things stay this way, this has the potential to totally turn my life around.

This isn't why I took them and I'm certainly not complaining. Possibilities I have considered: Was I always this intelligent and the depression was masking it? Did these drugs induce bipolar depression and I just happen to be in a manic phase? Are these going to kill me before I can really make use of my chemically-induced intelligence? I've googled around, and this sort of reaction to them is totally unheard of. This is not what they're prescribed for.

Again, I feel like an ass typing this shit out. I never thought of myself as a genius. My genius came in a pill.

At the next meeting with my therapist, I'm going to tell her what's going on and see if I can get some sort of testing out of the way.

tl;dr I'm in some sort of Flowers for Algernon scenario.

and if you're sharp, you'll notice that I already posted this to /r9k/, but I would like to hear from /sci/ as well

Hey guys, derpin' with calculus here again!

I'm calculating a really simple limit and I even got the answer, I just don't undestand one bit of it:

lim x->0 x*cos(1/x)*cosx=0

The explenation given is that x goes to 0, cosx goes to 1 and cos(1/x) is "bounded", what does that mean in the context of the answer? Why it doesn't matter? because iirc cos (1/0) = cos inf = wtf.

>>4310314
DUH!
It's (1/cos2x)(-sin2x)*2

Hey guys!
I'm trying to calculate:
Lim x->0
(Ln(cos 2x)/Ln(cos3x)) it's 0/0 so I'm using l'hopital's rule and calculate the derivative
((Ln(cos2x))' = (1/cos2x)*(-sin2x)*x
((Ln(cos3x))' = (1/cos3x)*(-sin3x)*x
the - and x go away. then I'm getting tg2x/tg3x
Then I'm getting 0/0 again so I'm using l'hopital's rule again and I get cos^2 3x/cos^2 2x and that's 1/1=1

However the answer is given as 4/9, so, what am I doing wrong?

Well, Advertise obviously works... but it has a lot to do with the social behaviour and public opinion. Do you think ads work for individuals? I'm not so sure, specially when I'm proposing activities against what is considered common behaviour (even if it's also accepted as a good behaviour).

>>4294025
Dianetics? Are you serious? and if so... "Why so serious?"

>>4293988
Thank you.

Now the question is, does it work when you see it?

Is it possible to condition a human being with not-so-subliminal messages?

I have 2 questions:
Are there any studies that confirm the "supposed" effectiveness of Subliminal Advertisement?

And, if that is true... Can it be used by an individual to condition himself?

I'm just wondering if it can be applied to make more appealing activities like studying or exercising instead of buying and consume more popcorn.

What do /sci/ think?

No, I'm not drunk.
I wish I was :(

Yay, got it with x^2=t
Thanks guys...Just about 30 more to go...and the night is long...Exam is in 2 weeks! Woo!

So, Cya later on our nighly mathlover's programme, derpchan!

Okay, trying another substitution.
1/4 integral sqrt(t-4)dt/t
(sqrt(t-4))=k
t=k^2+4
dt=2k
So that leads me to...
1/4 integral k*2k/(k^2+4)
pulling 2 out of the integral

1/2 integral k^2/(k^2+4)

Seems a lot more simple...but still can't see the answer.
