He literally proved that I exist before I was even born.
When was the last time a mere (emphasis on mere) mathematician did that?

brainlet here. Can someone explain to me what is?

hello Senpai
who wan self-learn ? join our autists
we have all manner of degenerates, including but not limited to
rust programmers, category theorists, one (1) communists, and of course a tranner
wide ranging interests Guaranteed to Enrich and Officially Debunk ur worldview
we're doing Advent of Code 2020, join for the wild ride
previous projects include SICP, overcoming dekinai, forallx, GEB groupread, attempt x to kill slack, and some dude doing combinatorics really loudly

Unironically, we're a group of people interested in all kinds of intellectual subjects related to STEM and the humanities. Looking for more maff people.

Philosophically speaking, one cannot be sure that anyone besides Descartes actually exists.

What is homogeneity in linear algebra? Does it only describe a solution, or does it describe a coefficient matrix, or can it only be used to describe an augmented matrix, i.e., a system of linear equations?

This is the smartest man to ever live. Not only his philosophical ideas that were decades ahead (if not centuries) are amazing, he also made great contributions to mathematics and physics. Don't forget this guy invented the cartesian coordinate system.

Truth lies in Philosophy and Math.

Last night I had a dream where I questioned myself if I was dreaming.

I was shopping at a supermarket I had never been to before, and realized I didn't know what I had to buy or where I even was. It then occurred to me that I might be dreaming, but I quickly convinced myself that that couldn't be possible since everything felt so real, and there was nothing out of the ordinary safe for my confusion about the situation. After that the dream was one of the most realistic/convincing I've ever had. I spend the rest of the dream trying to figure out why I was there, and also met some relatives.

Have you ever dreamed about dreaming /sci/?

>debunks all of science, because there could be an evil demon manipulating our perceptions
How did he do it?

Oh yeah, that's right.
You also forgot about how he didn't mention that there could be an evil demon manipulating the data to make the universe's curvature undetectable.

No, if you ever wrote a paper or an essay for any STEM major then you would know how fucking hard it is. you need to have good reasoning without being educated about reason and logic, you need to combine rational theory and empiricist data without knowing anything about rationalism and empiricism, you have to present good methodology without being taught about methodology, write too much and you will be judged, write too little and you will be judged, stray only a bit from the main subject and you will be judged, don't include relevant information and you will be judged. all of that and i didn't even mention anything about peer reviewing.
philosophy fags are spoon fed with everything you need to write a good paper but they still write shit that can be summarized with inequality bad while getting bombarded with praise from their hipster professor and peers.

These faggots think they smarter than Big D

String theory is the truth. You can bitch about it all you want, it won't change the truth.

Reminder: OP knows perfectly well there is no "point of contention" regarding there being a genetic component to intelligence. These threads get made for the purpose of shifting the convo towards the prescriptive rather than the scientific. They do this to spread racism and/or fascism, attempting to justify it with science. It's political propaganda that doesn't belong here.
