/sci/ - Science & Math

/adv/ is usually pretty good, yaknow?

but anyway, seeing as you're here:
yeh, my advice is to probably go all out 100% for studying this. get the absolute best grade you can, and when that's done, you can relax and chill out for a bit.

if you half ass it and still do alot of vidya and social life a lot, then if you do shit, you'll regret it. even if you do quite good, but not quite as good as you could have, then you'll regret it.

Productivity thread.

tips, tricks, techniques, study habits, blogs, resources, etc.

I know this is old /sci/ but what do you think of it? Good or bad and what would you do to improve things?

Extra marks: Could this system be used to create a city devoted to education and/or science literacy?

Hey /sci/,

I'm having a hard time trying to revise right now, its not that I'm not willing to put the time in, rather I just don't seem to be committing it into long term memory.

Any advice?

So let's post about our research/projects that we're doing!

I'm doing my Masters in mathematics, and I'm working on two things at the moment. The first is some easy operations research stuff. (OR is the key to industry, as my lecturer likes to say)

I'm also doing a crypto project that uses the Learning With Errors cryptosystem to create an oblivious transfer scheme that'll hold up against quantum computing (which is good, because D-Wave just sold the first commercial quantum computer)

Anyone else doing new stuff on /sci/?

>If you believe in evolution, you're following in the footsteps of whoever thought of it.

Evolution wasn't "created," OP. No one "thought" of it. Evolutionary theory is not a belief system. Science is not a belief system. Science aims to disprove all possible alternatives. There has been overwhelming evidence which suggests life arose in a manner consistent with current evolutionary theory. No evidence supports creationism.

Wait...

>But if you follow the bible, you're following in the footsteps of god.

Did you get this off of a key chain?

>Women cheat, friends will betray you, objects become obsolete.

Society acts this way because of religion. You're taught to cheat and betray. You're set up to become obsolete. In fact, religion is obsolete — we're just waiting for everyone on the learning curve to "upgrade."

For good measure, a quote by Lawrence Krauss:
>Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn’t be here if stars hadn’t exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.
