>mfw I glance at a wikipedia article on mathematics

So if I had done maths at degree level would my brain have levelled up? Because I don't feel like I've grown very much intellectually since I started my chemeng degree. I feel like my thought processes have become a lot more systematic and more effective as a result, but I have never felt like at the end of school, when I was utterly bossing everything and felt much smarter at the end of my final year, compared to the end of my second last year.

Is it because the subjects I learned at school (maths/all 3 sciences) were building on top of each other constantly, while engineering is a load of random shit?

Fuck it, make it 200kg then. Just so long as it's enough to ensure you go straight down instead of swimming to shore like a fucking triathlete.

For the record, my money was on the pressure/compression/whatever killing you. My gf went for drowning. I would like to be right. For a Chang.

That feeling

How hard would it be to "augment" human memory?

Could you possibly wear a small lightweight camera on your head that would record everything and then upload them to a server where it would be categorized based on a schedule you input (eg. 1PM - 2PM is categorized under "Humanities Class")

Then once technology progresses further, could we possibly have artificial neurons that could communicate with biological neurons and basically expand the human brain?

>always thought it was trolls trolling when they said they are the same number
>mfw the first chapter of my calculus textbook actually stated that .999... = 1 while explaining the concepts of what numbers are and how they should be treated and my professor showed me in depth why they are the same number after I asked him

programming question.

sum = 0
for i=1 to N do
for j=1 to i*i do
for k=1 to j do
sum=sum+1


what is the Big O notation for the above nested loops?

I get n^4, but I'm not certain. Any answer/explanation would be helpful.

A question is asking me what energy change an electron goes through when it goes from quantum number 4 to ground state.. i know how to do it but...


WHAT QUANTUM NUMBER IS GROUND STATE?

is it n=1 or n=0

mind almost blown untill i realised
IT WONT FUCKING WORK
