/sci/ - Science & Math

Is there, in general, a way to increase your intelligence?
What is the definition of intelligence? I usually define it as a collective name for the abilites of memory, logical reasoning and abstract tought.

Hi /sci/ this is not a homework question, I just need some help. It seems a bit too easy, but I wanted to make sure I was doing something right. You can delete this thread once an answer has been reached. Anyways:

My running log states that I ran at a rate of .00177777 miles per second in 4500 seconds on day one. On day two, I ran at a rate of .00214 miles per secondin 5595 seconds. What is my acceleration for these two days?

I blindly plugged in numbers with the equation a=(v2-v1)-(t2-t1) and got a=-0.00001428 miles per second per second. I don't get it. Thanks

Also, I ran 8 miles on day one and 12 miles on day two. I don't know if this does anything.

Does anyone have a copy of the BEMA (Brief Electricity and Magnetism Assessment)? Gotta get tested on this at the end of the semester, I figure someone on here (a grad student who's taught an E&M class perhaps) has to have a copy.

Submitting homework assignments for pure math courses in properly typeset latex even though latex hasn't been mentioned at all by anybody. Good idea or bad idea?

This picture has never been more appropriate

Ever get the feeling that you are worthless? not the retarded popsci "Universe big...you small" kinda way, but the "I've spent my whole life ignoring social queues so I can build up my knowledge, but now I'm not sure if I can use it" way.


someone share with me the feels.

What should I take after multivar?
Diff eq.
Algebra and diff eq.
or Algebriac structures.

I want the most significant one.

A mathematician and an engineer are sitting next to each other on a long flight. The mathematician leans over to the engineer and asks if he would like to play a fun game. The engineer just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks. The mathematician persists and explains that the game is real easy and lots of fun. He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5. Then you ask me a question, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $5." Again, the engineer politely declines and tries to get to sleep. The mathematician, now somewhat agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5, and if I don't know the answer, I'll pay you $50!"

This catches the engineer's attention, and he sees no end to this torment unless he plays, so he agrees to the game. The mathematician asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The engineer doesn't say a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five-dollar bill and hands it to the mathematician Now, it's the engineer's turn. He asks the mathematician "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down on four?" The mathematician looks up at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all of his references. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the Library of Congress. Frustrated, he sends e-mail to his co-workers all to no avail. After about an hour, he wakes the engineer and hands him $50. The engineer politely takes the $50 and turns away to try to get back to sleep.

The mathematician then hits the engineer, saying, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down on four?"

The engineer does not hear him because he is too busy sucking another engineer's dick in the lavatory.

for what f(x) and g(x) does f(x)/g(x)=f(x)?

f(x) /neq 0
g(x) /neq 1

It made me laugh, so I'd say at least a 4/10

First of all, we need to simplify that mess of an equation you posted.

Contrived? Not at all my dearest fellow! Mathematics is all about clarity, and to write 1+1=2 is simply bad taste.

write 1 as sin^2x + cos^2x and divide
