The filling stage alone would take years if not decades.

Even with nuclear power it would be a hell of a task.

i know you're memeing me but i was talking about how it seems to have given an expression for the area rather than estimating it somehow
did it just break the region into smaller regions and integrate?
how did it know how to work it
i am interested in these things

go double mcfuck yourself, DEs is serious fucking business

the engineers may have fucked it up with their notations and standards, but it's as legit as whatever babby math you're doing

Something similar is happening at the college i go to, except nobody seems to care that they are retarded. The le nerd culture is strong here, lots of people like to pretend to be smart and tend to spout bullshit about science very easily. It angered me one day that someone actually made up the term "doppler radiation" to explain how a doppler radar works, and so I attempted to lecture them on the doppler effect. If you can believe it, the girl that made up "doppler radiation" flat out told me I was wrong, and refused to talk to me later.
I would avoid these people, but I'm required to take a certain number of humanities classes to complete my physics degree.
Though I don't think you're entirely wrong. I have only seen this mentality in lower level humanities students (almost completely in history and literature, actually).
Everyone in my math/physics classes are either actually level 30 master wizards who actually do know fucking everything, and the rest are people who are desperately struggling, complaining that they should have been born smarter.

The le nerd culture hardly implies that anyone involved actually wants to be smart. It's just a passing trend (probably spurred on by TBBT) that people use as a means of socializing. Next time you see a le nerdy guy, ask him what he thinks about mathematics.

if programming is computer science, then psychology is neurology

I can only really see myself doing something science related as a career, existing in general fascinates me and I would love to work on helping us further understand all that is around us. The only thing is I'm terrible at math. Should I just not bother?
