So mind control is a genuine thing, and yet no one's freaking out about this?

>Be on a question
>Only have a small amount of time left
>Suddenly become fixated with an idea
>Cross out my old method and use my new one
>Complete paper
>Feel happy that I've got 100%
>Time is up
>Hand in paper
>Suddenly realise that my orginal method was wrong
>I can never go back and redo it
>Spend the entire day mad at yourself

Hey /sci/! just got a small question on my numerical analysis homework. I am having problems starting this FFT problem because our prof was out and some grad student apeshit their way through it. Help please?

Find the continuous least squares trigonometric polynomial S_2(x) for f (x) = x^2 on [−π, π].

>'Hey.'
'Hi.'
>'So, what do you study?'
'Physics.'
>'... what are you going to do with that degree after you graduate?'

I think it gets sent to some third world shithole school. It will probably get replaced with more of those "Conflicting viewpoints" books that are written so kids doing their argument paper in English Comp 1 have their research spoon fed to them.

Seriously, those and The Hunger Games are the only new books we've taken in for since I've been there. They've been purging a bunch of good old stuff for a while. I didn't care when they were working on the Social Sciences and Philosophy sections. But they just hit the science and math section about a week ago. It's been...awful.

What fucking implications?

There's a bug in your ear.

Pic related.

Because if the Big Bounce Cycle was true, the Universe would be slowing down in its expansion today, but instead the movement of galaxies away from the Milky Way show its speeding up towards a cold, dark oblivion.

Shit sucks I know.

I would if I had the cash to spare.
