33 posts omitted.How do I stop being a mathlet-mid and start to approach professional math-fag level?
For example, what do I need to read or learn in order to solve almost any solvable equation put in front of me (and how can I know that it is solvable)?
Real, imaginary, algebraic, transcendental, summation, product, etc., it doesn't matter, I really just want to get past the number crunching filter.
I want to master the methods used to solve equations, calculate numbers, and perform manipulations so a book on just one specific and broad area of mathematics doesn't help (yes, obviously I should start with algebra but I want to focus specifically on solving methods.) I want to get this computational shit out of the way before I dive deep into theory (or more likely, read theory and the practical methods at the same time). I don't want to be one of those guys who can teach a class on category theory but has forgotten how to do polynomial division.

35 posts omitted.Not only will they personally never live to see any of this without life extension, but the kind of exploration and settlement of distant bodies they dream about will require greatly expanding human lifespans, due to travel length.
Yet barely any of them seem interested in life extension, and just want more money spent on space.
What is wrong with these people?

18 posts omitted.Einstein & a Indian sitting next to each other on a long flight...
Einstein says:
"Let's play a game...
I will ask you a question,
if you don't know the answer,
you pay me only $5
and
if I don't know the answer,
I will pay you $500..."
Einstein asks the first question:
What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon...?
Indian doesn't say a word,
Reaches his pocket,
Pulls out a $5...
Now...
It's the indian turn...
He asks Einstein:
What goes up a hill with 3 legs
and
comes down on 4 legs..?
Einstein searches the net and asks all his smart friends...
After an hour he gives Indian $500...
Einstein going nuts and asks:
Well...
so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four..?
Indian reaches his pocket and gives Einstein $5...
Einstein fainted.....
Send to all Indians all over the globe! Magic Missing Indian flag in this? Don't worry send this message to only 2 groups u will shock to see all these flags will become Indian flags Created by: engineering students Of CIT

I read somewhere recently that stimulant medication doesn't cause euphoria in people with ADD/ADHD because it works to correct their low dopamine levels and make them feel "normal". I was prescribed Vyvanse three years ago and not once has it ever made me feel normal. It makes me feel great. It's supposed to help me focus on schoolwork, but it's only ever helped me focus on creative tasks (i.e. music production). I now depend on it for motivation but that motivation is inevitably used on music, writing, drawing, instead of school. The prospect of changing/stopping medication scares me because I don't want to lose the ability to do what I love, but this medication is doing far more harm than good for my academic career.

8 posts omitted.What is synesthesia from a scientific perspective?
It's something that women have more often than men do, but also as a man I have it. And a quick rundown is that I have basic fundamental associations that most people do not have.
Most of you associate republican with red and democrat with blue, or you associate red with angry or love, and blue with sad, or things like that...
Synesthesia to me is when I have more associations that are seemingly arbitrary and inherit like I've always had them. Like I see 0 as black and 1 as white and A as red, and Saturday as yellow.
It is a rather unimpactful condition that effectively changes nothing for the most part although I kind of like it because it is interesting. I just have a memory of all of these associations and I pretty much can't forget them. Like I'll always be able to answer that A is red no matter when you ask me because I just remember it by default like how you know that republican is also red.
It's like that basically.

Consider the wheel made by extending the real numbers into a wheel. Are and distinct? Or are they the same? I can't seem to derive either result from the rules. Only that .
Is it that finite ? How do you prove that?
Or are these things not provable, but rather just one possible wheel that you can make out of the real numbers?

The media and science.
Should people with no knowledge of science be allowed to be writing all of these articles about it? Most "science" related articles you read online are not written by scientists. The scientists will not actually write or communicate with the public very often they simply talk to each other because the public is not capable of understanding their research usually.
These articles by the mass media outlets often contain completely incorrect "science" written by college students who don't understand what they are talking about at all.
Look at the way this real article talks about the big bang theory, "an explosion," and "13.8 billion years ago," (that's off by millions of years), "that it produced conditions for certain elements to develop," what? That's so vague because the author has no idea what they are talking about. "On the verge of being dramatically overturned." No it's not at all, the big bang only gets more and more evidence that it was real each passing day. Who's idea was it to let stupid people write the media articles that cause the public to become more stupid by reading it, thus infecting more people?
>"A scientist who claims the ***event*** never happened"
>"According to a ***study***"
All of these media people act, so similar...
They all use the same bullshit wording and completely content-less articles.
Of course I do believe in the freedom of the press but that means the freedom of the press to actually be smart sometimes as well, it looks like this pseudo-science is the only science allowed in the media these days which is not freedom of the press.
