/sci/ - Science & Math

>mfw a math tutor in my university's math department complained that they didn't get more funding than the engineering department
>mfw he thought they were entitled to more because of the work of previous mathematicians much greater than him
>mfw he said that because engineers, scientists, accountants use math - the math department should have a greater emphasis

Arrogant engineers may be bad, but arrogant mathematicians are worse.

10/10 troll
>mfw when you all have been arguing with this guy all day.
All of you are retarded for even responding to his obvious troll comments. The only genius on /sci is this troll for fooling all of you.

a plausible theory, too bad you don't have any evidence.

take this other, also plausible train of thought, along similar lines, as a counter point:

>in ancient times, it was beneficial to be able to correctly predict the consequences of an action
>we evolved a way to take pleasure from noticing whenever a result was novel or unexpected
>hence the development of a sense of humor, which is simply the pleasurable experience you get when faced with a result that is unexpected
>humor is the reward system for noticing novel consequences

which i just made up on the spot, and is probably complete bullshit, and is no more or less testable than your theory.

mfw when you think that I'm going to get b&

OP here,

I'm an RA and my advisor has a shit ton of money from NSF. I'm not doing absolutely anything (other than attending classes). I get $1700 a month to attend classes and watch FMA.

This is the life motherfuckers.

I knew it. In every thread like this, the longer it goes on, the more likely dolphin sex will be discussed.

I love it. Branson is a rich kid beloved by millions with no background in deep sea who just up and decided to buy his way into it one day, but millions will weep if his sub implodes.

Meanwhile Cameron has dedicated a huge chunk of his life and career to exploring the deep and popularizing it among the public, yet if his sub implodes, Avatar haters will cheer and there'll be jokes about it on Reddit within the hour.

Someone get me some popcorn

hahahahahahaha oooooooowh

>mfw only the newest of the newest fans are pissed. This isn't the first or last time it will happen. Get used to it.
