Level with me /sci/, is this the "install gentoo" of the physics world, or is it actually something you recommend? It has really positive reviews for a supposed hard book, and surely they cannot all be posers. Has it been surpassed?

Since the thread is still going, what's the closest "modern" series to this? In terms of comparable depth of coverage, but with the latest pedagogy, type setting etc. I know the Fenyman lectures received a modern face-lift, but they're not really in the same class.

in a real life Good Will Smith move, two high school seniors solved a mathematical puzzle that was thought to be impossible for 2,000 years.

Their appearance on "60 Minutes" this weekend isn't the first time that Johnson and Jackson's hard work has been showcased. The pair presented their hypothesis at the American Mathematical Society last spring.“For two months we worked together nonstop — during school, after school, at home, at lunch,” Johnson told the Times-Picayune last year. “We had lots of Zoom meetings. Actually, during Mardi Gras break we were still working by Zoom.”When CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker asked Jackson and Johnson if they were math geniuses in the episode's trailer, both shook their heads."Not at all," Jackson denied.

what good is yet another proof of a theorem everyone already knows is true? can these negro wenches do anything useful or is repeating the obvious the limits of their abilities?
>>16180185>what good is yet another proof of a theorem everyone already knows is true?It demonstrates that a handful of modern day negroes, thanks to the tireless efforts and extravagant expenditure of whites, are finally able to grasp what whites understood 2500 years ago
The Pythagorean theorem is the MOST PROVED (by humans that is) of any mathematical theorem ever. A mathematical theorem that has more than one or two distinctly different proofs is uncommon…. but this theorem has been proved — by truly different and unique proofs — several hundred times!!!
Post math/science "facts" that make you mad when you hear them. I'll start. >The Universe is infinite, so an infinite number of different versions of me must exist

>>16181190Did your picrel chud divide by zero?
>>16181207They can be, depending on your definition of "number" and "complex."In my view, the following are numbers: naturals, integers, finite fields, rationals, complex rationals...The following are not numbers: "reals" and any other uncomputable or uncountably infinite set.(By the way, computer floats are a finite subset of rationals, they have nothing to do with "reals")

It is widely thought that no other theorem in mathematics has had more valid proofs than the Pythagorean Theorem. Since the time of Euclid it has been proved over three hundred different ways. Not only did Euclid have his own proof, so did Albert Einstein and Presdent James A Garfield. I believe Ramanujan had his own proof. How long will it take to prove the Pythagorean Theorem? 2,300 years ago long. Yesterday long. It’s settled. It’s done.
I've been looking at older calculators, and it seems like a good majority of them use RPN. I've never heard of it before finding it right now. Does anyone regularly use it?
>>16180407I used to use it, but these days with pocket calculators being a full blown CAS these days, I think standard notation wins out, Casio does a good job with it. I rarely use a calculator these days since I'd prefer to mathematica, but if I'm at my electronics bench I have an old Casio with a VFD display, because it looks cool and it's convenient.
>>16180407>I've been looking at older calculators, and it seems like a good majority of them use RPN. How old are we talking here? I’m a boomer and I don’t remember any pocket calculators using polish notation. For one thing, you would need a special button anyway, to distinguish 3 4 from 34. Maybe those noisy “printing calculators” used by shopkeepers had polish notation?When I’m adding up a lot of numbers I tend to use the commandline calculator dc, which is RPN.
>>16181342The HP48 series was very popular with engineering students when I was in school. There was an (ENTER) button for placing numbers on the stack. No idea what they use now in class and during tests but I suspect for projects and homework, they use something on a laptop.
>>16180407Reverse polish notation is unambiguous and easy to parse by computers.But parsing infix notation is more or less a solved problem so don't worry about it - just use what is comfortable to you.
>>16180407I use it regularly, in the form of the Android app RealCalc, because it does away with the need to type parentheses ( ). Especially the open parenthesis, which sometimes you don't know you need until you're halfway through typing your formula.Highly recommended.
But I have to support myself.Serious: how do I find a lifestyle where I have no obligations but math? I know it's a fantasy, but I want it. I'm willing to compromise.I'm just looking for ideas.There is no better way to do math (or science) than to dedicate your whole life to it - that doesn't necessarily mean all waking hours spent on it, but it means spending the best parts of your day in deep work on math.

>>16173665 Probably not. That would explain multiple universes.
>>16180154>>16180309Like let me illustrate. I see where you're coming from and you're extremely right that all infinities being the same size is where a lot of contradictions come from.The math I did with division and infinity is valid. You seem to be under the impression that, say, ∞/4 is different from ∞.But suppose we had five squares, all of area ∞. How this came about is that originally someone had two identical squares of area ∞, and then one was divided into quarters. Is there any way for us to distinguish which of the five squares was part of the original pair and which was made from the quartering of one member of that pair?
>>16180309>half an inch on a one-foot ruler is the same as half an inch on a yardstickWe're not talking about units, though, we're talking about taking two different numbers and making the same amount of divisions, [2/2=1, 1/2=0.5], [2/4=0.5, 1/4=0.25], they fundamentally can't point to the same number no matter how many divisions you make, same thing with the ruler and yardstick, the units and their distances from 0 are the same, yes, but they are a different fraction away from the total length of your measurement device>>16180585>∞/4 is different from ∞.It is, one is split into 4 parts and the other is not, if you had 5 lines with one being infinite in length and the others being inf/4 in length then the undivided line would always be 4x longer than the other ones, you can't extend one line without extending the others if the ratios have to stay the same.

I have a question,. How much do scientists really know?How do we know folks out there don't have answers of their own?How do we know who to Trust?How do we know they are telling us everything?
Nobody likes a sore thumb, that's true.
Not many people know, this butSome common research suggests that endothermic bacterial cell binders are not easily displaced by ,common, soaping and activity agents as The binding reagent will stay preferentially with a thermal source, or will not react preferentially with an agent when the common binding strength is endothermicSimilar to bath mould in the common sense, some bacterial agents have preferential binding and growth mediums and are not easily displaced by common soaps and activity agentsSuch as those which the common man could associate with say"Deep-urinary tract infection" or kidney-urine binding agentWhich can often strain blood responses and activitySuch as with bath mould, what is appropriate is an endothermic reactive agent for displacement or activity. Urinary agents such as ethyromycin or dihydro-ergotamine and -arguabally some diuretic agents would be more effective in lifting such bacterial infectionsAlthough such things have yet to be Proven. It is the common view that these things may not yet be fully understood

how do i become a mad scientist im dead seriousi currently at a university studying particle physics but i want a ridiculous set up at my place to do various autistic experiments. over the years, i mostly collect old lab equipment from the university and people dont seem to mind since theyre usually updated quickly, since theres around 30 people in my major. There's also a store by me that sells old lab equipment from private labs that closed or updated. I also get equipment from my richer friends who gave up on physics, or from the high school i work at who updated their labs.Right now I have function generators, oscilloscopes, power supplies, a bunch of electronics components, LCR meters, a couple multimeters, gas lasers, microcontrollers, standard chem equipment, radio crystals, microscopes, distillers, high voltage transformers, industrial batteries, a logic analyzer, a server, vaccuum tubes, scintillators, detectors, a 3D printer and tons of old books.what equipment or tools do i need to expand? I was thinking mainly a high voltage power supply since the main thing I'd like to do is make a mini linac, but id like other suggestions. list:high voltage power supplysemiconductor setupnetwork analyzersspectrometersvaccuum coatersalso should i redecorate or dress different or is that too much?
