/sci/ - Science & Math

If I have seen further, it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants.

>As OP's study shows, women don't get the benefit of the doubts.
Oh boy, I wonder why that is.

My school was focused on different kinds of engineering and there were many projects to get more girls to apply.
No teacher dared to give them bad marks or say anything that might discourage them.

To female student:
>You don't know how what binary numbers are, at the end of the 2nd year of my course? Oh well, lets ask some other student.
To male student:
>You don't know how to implement an algorithm to solve these coupled second-order differential equations after two months of programming? You're in the wrong place then, better drop out. Don't waste your time here, pursuit a different career.
When the local news paper guys come over to make photos of something.
>Sure, let's put some completely unrelated girls there instead of the boys who actually BUILT the fucking machine.

They have changed the entrace examinations at the local medical university multiple times, because women always scored lower on average, but It didn't matter how they changed it, men always scored better, so they just lowered the minimum requirements for women and increased them for men.
Our society and legal framework is increasingly supportive towards women, leaving men on their own.

And that's the result.

Sorry I didn't make this clear. Neither of classses that I am under the impression I will need to be taking (trig,pre-calc) are required.

I was hoping to learn these courses at home and then take all the required classes (calc onwards) at community college.

Hope that makes more sense.

mother of god... i've seen shit but this thread is like, whoa.

velocity is relative.
the room has velocity relative to the cube.
if you sat on the cube, looking at the hole, you would see a room move at you.

the answer is B

/sci/, I have an inclination to learn Latin. I don't know why, but the more I think about it, the more I want to do it. I know Spanish and English. What resources are effective for self-teaching Latin / what textbook(s) should I get? Where should I start?

How does one discover math? It always amazing me how much Isaac Newton discovered at such a young age.

What is it that separated him from the common man? Was it his education? His upbringing? His curiosity? Was it because of him having Asperger syndrome?

What if Issac Newton was killed as a child?

This guy.

Sure everyone knows his name. But no-one really knows why. He's like Einstein, every member of the public knows his name but not really what he did.

I don't think many people understand his sheer genius. He's impacted so many areas of Physics it's unreal and in the 16th century.

I have 20 days to write a big science report. I need to choose the topic on my own, based on interest. I need suggestions for this topic.

It needs to be something a year-12 high schooler can comprehend, though it must require serious thought to do so. It needs to combine theory from physics and math.

I would love some opinions on interesting things to devote 20 days to researching and/or understanding. I'm interested in math and physics in general, and also in programming and computer security.

I wanna know this to get motivate to study this calculus topic and understand it better.

Guys, that's not what this thread is about.

We puny earthlings count in a multitude of logarithms. Base 2, base phi, base 10, base 60. I don't know if the natural logarithm is used for a literal number system, but it could be.

Most people here know this and that's by and large not the subject of this discussion.

Don't make me go F=m*a on your asses.

top five favorite mathematicians [they do not have to be exclusively mathematicians].

1) Newton
2) Euler
3) Gauss
4) Euclid
5) Poincare

also, wtf is with all the religion threads today?

You've just time traveled to 1641 and have to explain Einstein's special and general theories of relativity to Isaac Newton. What do you say to him?

Newton, because there's a fine line between genius and madness, and that motherfucker skipped across it a few times a day.

INVENTING CALCULUS
PLAYING WITH MERCURY
ALCHEMIZING
GRAVITIZING
PRISMATIZING
NEWTON!

So /sci/, i'm a guy prospectively looking at going to university for mathematics.

Is this a good/bad idea? What can i do with a mathematics degree? Is the salary/job outlook good?

One of the inventors of calculus always related.

So, going on that time travel is impossible.

Lets say that that the recent claims by CERN concerning moving faster than the speed of light are real.

What benefits would that give our generation?

You know what, let me be more blunt with that, will we get anything cool from this in our lifetime? Will such a discovery even matter for us?

I propose we counter troll /lit/. I am fucking tired of these worthless uneducated fucks ruining this board.

His Theory wasn't even exact.

Is this guy legit? I keep seeing thread all around saying this or this scientist was a scammer, especially Tesla.

What is /sci/ opinion on Newton? A great mind? I am currently learning how he contributed to science, I have to catch up because I hated school once

Hurp derp.

This is my understanding of Newton's laws. Tell me if you think it's wrong.

1. We observe that objects only seem to accelerate when something collides with them. We now say that collision creates a "force" between the objects, and say that an object accelerates if an only if a "force" acts upon it. So law 2 is really just a definition.

2. We observe that even if acted upon by the same force, not all objects accelerate at the same rate. We call this tendency to resist acceleration "mass". We define mass by saying that if a force F acts on objects A and B, and B accelerates n times quicker than A, B is 1/n times more masive than A, or, F = ma.

3. We observe that when two objects collide, one exerts an equal and opposite force on the other. This is just an experimental fact, in my understanding, not a theorem. Am I wrong?
