Tapered or tapering.

Iterate or enumerate.

>Why would anyone want to flex on plebs? They are literally the easiest thing to flex on and don't require specific vocab.

>>11678302
Look up Feynman on youtube and come back when you can speak like him.

>>11678302
Use the phrase "I am a fag".

>>11678302
You could use humility. It works great on plebs

>>11678324
This board is all about flexing, I bet nobody here actually knows linear algebra and other shit they claim.

>>11678306
lmao this so much. If A is bigger than B, then A is exponentially bigger than B, with the exponent being log(B/A).

>>11678324
I don't like humble people. I like arrogant, cocky people. It's way more fun to interact with them, because they have more at stake, more skin in the game. They know that by constructing this arrogant persona people will want to bring it down and prove that they're dumb because in general people don't like arrogance and cockiness and the person probably finds it fun to prove them wrong.

>>11678329
Good point. Say “multiplicative” whenever possible

We need to compile a list of words from math that replace every day expressions. >>11678334

>>11678302
Say 'rate of speed' instead of 'speed'.

I used the word 'integer' on my boss once and it impressed him. Another day I said 'indecies' (plural of index)

Also the word 'domain' and 'iteration'. Something is a 'function of'.

>>11678345
How big of a brainlet do you have to be to be impressed by technical sounding words

>>11678333
Yeah if people have actually smarts to back it up I guess a little cockiness is ok. But when my graduate student friend name drops proteins and scientific terms at dinner parties he knows nobody has heard of because thinks it impresses people it's really cringe.

I really have a need to feel superior ever since the wife truncated my penis.

>>11678302
truncated is a geographical term, gtfo mathfag

>>11678329
I know all about the colum space of a matrix! And those weird changing vector direction thingy matrixes do!

>>11678367
So, drainage, valley, basin, ravine, gully, canyon; are these terms all more or less synonyms or is there a nuanced scientific definition? I hike a lot and it seems like everyone has a different set of terminology they use

>>11678348
a lawyer schmuck

>>11678367
In computer science when you open a binary file and the end of it is cut off we call it 'truncated'. The term comes from math.
Wiki:Truncation
In mathematics and computer science, truncation is limiting the number of digits right of the decimal point.

>>11678376
they're similar but it depends alot on the place, certain countries call them different things but I think they all have minute differences.
you could say that a creek and a river are the same thing, but you don't get a river thats 30cm wide, and you don't get a creek thats 2km wide

>>11678385
thanks, you know about as much as everyone else i've asked which is basically nothing

>>11678302
No joke, had a professor that ended nearly every sentence with “in the process.” It didn’t even make sense when he said it. I think it was like a nervous tic he had, joked about saying it too much. Nice guy and good teacher, but I’m sure most people assume he was trying to sound smart.

>>11678302
Use 'infinite numbers' instead of 'infinitely many numbers'.

say commutative instead of interchangeable

>>11678423
Like this?

>It didn’t even make sense when he said it in the process. I think it was like a nervous tic he had, joked about saying it too much in the process. Nice guy and good teacher, but I’m sure most people assume he was trying to sound smart in the process.

>>11678359
Gave me a belly chuckle

>>11678466
interchangeable and commutative are not interchangeable though

>>11678515
doesn't matter as long as you get to flex

>>11678548
Not if its imvalidated

>>11678551
Good point. It needs only work on the plebs. Like the typical poster on /sci/. Who doesn't know how to rebutt anything.

>>11678487
Yes, except there was a slight pause then he sort of quietly under his breath trailed off... in the process.

>>11678324
>d-dont let the r-retards f-feel r-retarded!
>it's not n-nice!
Fuck outa here faggot

>>11678302
Always specify countable vs uncountable infinities
Additive/multiplicative inverse instead of negative/reciprocal
Codomain
Image, preimage
Abelian/nonabelian instead of commutative/noncommutative
Add "topological" before any noun
"Measurable set" for any set of numbers

>>11678324
Blessed and humblepilled.
>>11678345
>indecies
The plural of index is indices, anon.

>>11678515
Luckily they are commutative

>dumb people use superior vocabulary to appear smart than they really are

>smart people use simplified vocabulary so other people can understand them and so they don’t reveal their power levels

Trust me OP. Nobody likes smart people. Just keep pretending to be stupid

>dumb people use superior vocabulary to appear smart than they really are

>smart people use simplified vocabulary so other people can understand them and so they don’t reveal their power levels

Trust me OP. Nobody likes smart people. Just pretend to be as stupid as the people around you and they’ll like you more

>>11679495
Countable vs uncountable is the pleb trap card

>>11678302
concatenate

>>11679524
It's not that people hate smart people, it's just that there's many more psuedointellectuals than their are actually intelligent people, so whenever someone tries to "sound smart" they just assume you're a psued. People aren't threatened by intelligence, because they don't really care. They just think you're a jackass.

>>11678302

Who are you quoting?

>>11679528
underrated post

>>11679528
I literally thought you made it up, until I checked

>>11679495
>putting the word topologically where it doesn't belong
i feel like i'm entering a whole new world here

>>11680879
>i feel like i'm entering a whole new topology here

fix'd

>>11679528
It's the largest word most CS majors know.

>>11679528
I remember having to look up what this meant when I started working with avisynth.

>>11678302
Inflection point
Parabolic trajectory
Zenith
Standard distribution
e

discrete and continuous are very useful outside of math.

>>11678302

Implement instead of realize or design practically. It's an old classic.

>>11681224
>discrete and continuous

I second this

geometric sequence

>>11681521
that's just exponential growth.

Excellent bait
