Look at this shit. How is science different from voodoo priests saying voodoo is proven true because another voodoo priest said so? Or a Wikipedia article saying something is true because Salon said it’s true and Salon said it’s true because Wikipedia said it’s true? (Someone initiated the circular reference and then it becomes self-perpetuating)

Science is in salvageable and scientists are net negative impact 105 iq assburgers thinking they’re much smarter than they really are. They also believe they’re at the end of history at any given moment, again because of midwitism. This allows them to justify any atrocity, and never consider any evidence outside their established narrative.

>Make university actually hard again.
Not very long ago, The vast majority of students in the us have never even heard of caculus before they went to university. You can easily find Knuth talking about it. Nowadays plenty of highschoolers know calculus and programming.
The difficulty of school has always been dictated by the student. In fact if you want difficult you could just learn anything from libgen. Again, something people not to long ago wouldn't be able to do, they might have one math book in their city library.

This is one of the boards newest generals. Fairly high activity due to edge lords trying to be funny but instead spreading facts about the absolute state of our world.

Intro stats is fairly easy, intermediate stats come the programming and we have already have several battles about what language is the best in the thread. Nobody uses SAS funnily enough, SPSS has had some people trying to joust the edgelords who are into R and C++, while the stata children are silent as usual.

Come one, come all. State your dumb questions, /pol/tardy or not. Some fairly useful and funny math is showcased in this thread.

Biggest lie in all of statistics is that events are independent. They're not. In casinos it's common to see streaks of 10 in roulette. If the next event is independent you'd expect 50% of the times 10 streaks are observed to continue to 11. That's not what happens.

I'll take a look at Godement. I've been slowly working through Jean-Paul Penot's Analysis and it's been kind of kicking my ass. I've already technically done courses on baby Rudin and measure but I find that I'm relatively weak on the topology and functional analysis side of analysis.

Godement is a madman, enjoy. I think he makes for a very good second pass through the material, so definitely pair it with another if you're learning things for the first time. Everytime I pick up his books I end up learning something.

well we learned how to count somehow. Do you think it just magically happened as we became human beings, that there is some magic spot in our brains that let us count versus animals?

Our brains are more advanced outcroppings of the brains that other animals had before us. Our PFCs got filled out a little more, that's it. Our PFCs just scrape everything else together. So we got BETTER at counting, and the various cognitive processes that constitute counting got more intertwined.

Doesn't imagining the multiplication in a physical space sort of write this whole thing off? A 1*1 grid will only have 1 square, because it is one square long and one square wide, unless you interpret there being a gap in the initial so it's

Well considering you have to use cauchy sequences to mulitply real numbers I'm not surprised people go crazy over just multiplication.

Is that ... is that a sequence of rational numbers? And it's going on and on ... forever ... it never stops ... I'm frightened. What's this? The numbers are getting ... getting closer to 1? And there's another sequence! It's too horrible to contemplate, but I think it's doing the same thing! Wait, is that, are the corresponding terms in the sequences being ... multiplied together? And I don't even want to look, but I can't help looking ... it can't be ... the products are approaching 1? Aaaaaaaaaa I'm going INSANE, save me Nigger-Man!
>>
He doesn't really explain anything properly, but it seems to be a misunderstanding of associativity and commutativity?
He also defines multiplication badly by saying you add a to itself b times. Those b times should include the initial a. 2*2= 2 + 2, not (2) + 2 + 2.
We use math because it makes sense, not the other way around. If you find results that don't reflect reality, use a system that does. He's using wrong definitions based on bad wording.

What experiments have you conducted that lead you to the conclusion that the earth is round?
