how do I, someone that failed hs, get good at math?
What happened to /sqt/? It's been some months since I last been here, did the general die and no one bothered to create a new thread? I wanted to ask a physics question, fuck!
>>16943952Start with Lang's basic mathematics or geometry His dialogues with high school students and non mathematicians are a great primer for mathematical intuition
>>16943955>I wanted to ask a physics question, fuck!Just ask it here, it's as good a place as any.
>>16943990I know quarks are the building blocks of matter and all that, but what do they do exactly? Are they just charge carriers and nothing else? They're just there to produce charge to protons and neutrons?
>>16944119Quarks are fundamental particles which satisfy a number of properties. One of those is that, yes, they're charged. Another is that they're fermionic, and so obey Pauli exclusion, which is a reason they can make "solids." Another is that they naturally frequently come in bound states called protons and neutrons (among others), thanks to the strong nuclear interaction which they satisfy. None of these things are particularly their "job" any more than any other natural physical process has a "job" unless you take a particularly teleological view of physics.

>>16943937>You used a bad word! Isn't it MathJaX?I don't give a shit what you prefer me to call anything, really. Stop being a pointless pecker.>You're not supposed to take the dear Lord's name in vain.I don't care. It's a phrase that people use.>Thanks for "fixing" my sh*t.

>>16944634NTA, but this is /sci/, not /pol/ or /v/, we don’t act like retards here, you're sticking out like a sore thumb.
>>16944643>someone with an IQ of 147 can somehow act like a retard, even when they're acting how they normally actI don't think that word means what you think it means.
>>16944872So much in that excellent formula
>>16945093It's just a bunch of trivial symbolic manipulation. It doesn't have that much significance to me.

>>16944634>The absolute fucking state of /sci/.What you scientists have to endure. No, you don't deserve this.
>>16945349Guessing those six books average to around 80-100k words apiece, and taking a conservative reading rate estimate of 200 words per minute, about 40-50 hours.
>>16943219Why did you use \sim instead of \approx? NOOB
>>16945549No way, textbooks take way longer to read than your average young adult novel.
Aren't there situations where you disregard the result of infinity in math?
>>16944872>left-hand side = right-hand sideThe LHS is from the previous /mg/ thread; from post Nos. 1693-4173, -5497, and -6253.And the RHS is the angular version of the LHS.

>>16945093kek>>16945098it's a quote from elon musk
>>16945349Reading is one thing. Doing the actual problems will be longer.

How do you explain this phenomenon that an imaginary number is required to produce a number that is actually a real number? For example if you put pickrelated into Wolfram Alpha it never simplifies it to anything that doesn't have an imaginary number somewhere. But yet it is a real number.Does this mean that somehow imaginary numbers serve as a way to have closed forms for numbers that otherwise could not have closed forms?
>>16946285Yes, by using imaginary numbers you're also increasing the kinds of operations you can consider basic enough to fit within the (somewhat arbitrary) definition of a closed form. While imaginary numbers are very important to real numbers, mainly because of the fundamental theorem of algebra, this property is not so special to them.
>>16946302How can you define a number by using imaginary/complex numbers so that it couldn't be defined unless you used them, and so that the number itself is not imaginary/complex? What would the simplest number of this kind?
>>16942501I would like to lear about it.
>>16946563The research workshop doesn't start until June, sorry anon.
>>16946285>explain this phenomenonEasy, you're relying on the output of a computer and assuming it's the end all be all and not doing any actual thinking or work yourself. Look up Euler's formula. A better hs student should be able to "theoretically" take out the imaginary component in your pic, theoretically in that it's just long to write out, but the process is simple as hell
