/sci/ - Science & Math

so guys,

I got accepted to grad school for physics this year. I'm super pumped to get back into academia and physics in general (fuck real world bullshit, I worked as a lab tech for electrochemists and engineers), but at the same time it's been 2 years since I actually did anything with it. I'm pretty nervous about being a non traditional student, and I know I'm going to have to work twice as hard as everyone else. anyone been in this situation? how rough was it?


tl;dr
how hard is being a non traditional student in grad school?

"i take it and have been duped by advertising into beleiving so, therefore its truueeeeee- duuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrr"

cmon bro


you can do better


also we're talking about protein powder specifically, if you want to talk about vitamin c go ahead, i'll say your 833% isnt necessary. because it is not. either way it is a supplement and not a replacement


for gods sake every cell our body makes come from food, and the majority of modern pharma comes from food/herbs/plants in nature. your small intestine is 2,700 square feet and produces stem cells for your body, its essentially the equivalent of the root system. food/diet mostly has preventative benefits from diseases and cancer but also contain the same chemicals found in pharma that your body absorbs

its not that hard to understand

So, what do you think of this? To be honest I'm not sure what to think.

Sup /sci/

Not sure if those goes here but ill give it a shot.
I was debating with someone, and at one point he pulled this strange logic.

Ill give an example. If I where to say that love of the arts have no value because they dont affect the universe as a whole, and then the person im arguing with says that if they have no value, they both have no value and value at the same time....isnt that a fallacious argument? Or just a plain stupid one?

...Kinda retarded but yeah Im sort of at a loss at how to reply to this.

Take note that that isnt what we're arguing about, but id rather not mention what we're actually arguing about. I have my reasons

What are the equations of this graph?

/sci/...

If I have a few points that describe a bell curve. Is it possible to guess an equation from it?

Sort of like a bezier extrapolation or something?

Can someone help me out and find this paper/journal article for me? How do you guys access papers like this?

If you can get it for me I'll paypal you. Any currency you want. $5 starting.

I need to implement an algorithm to find the minimum distance between two bezier or NURBS curves for a computer game. Any of you smart guys know how to do that more efficiently than looping through a whole load of points?

Anyone got a diagram that puts into relation/perspective molecules, atoms and all of the fundamental particles?

I have a chem final in a class our retard teacher taught us nothing from, what is are the main things I could easily put on a graphing calculator?

why do all posts on 4chan go like this?
