General Chat / Math Fun!

Hold on I think I got it. I set the first one = to the 2/3 of the second and cross multiplied to get u=4/3

Am I right?

Then just plug it in the find the others?

So P(x=0)=(4/3^0e^-4/3)/1

So P(x=0)=0.264

and

P(x=3)= (4/3^3e^-4/3)/6

So P(x=3)=0.007


Am I right?

What is the square root of 134151342513565446578439579837539475943875354343554654565465.

There. Solve it Bitch.

1.) I love math

3.) I took Trig and Geometry over the Summer, so I am 2 years ahead of everyone.

You are one crazy child.

CRAZY KID,
CGM

Yes, crazy, like anyone who would listen to death metal what? It's just as crazy as being a fan of mathematics...neither are crazy, they're just hobbies. And believe it or not, there are 13 year olds graduating from college these days, millions of students skipping grades, and prgrams such as John Hopkin's CTY, which I taka part in , that aid this system of advanced learning.

gymkid dude, go back ta bed, he never bragged. He simply answered a question.

Sfgadv02, computers can do square roots signifcantly lareger than that dinky number you gave us, but you wouldn't know about scientific notation would you?

<--Hates math with a passion.
<--Lubbs english.

And I don't really think anyone's gonna be a coaster designer. If you're still psyched about coasters, you're really um... I dunno, QOTSA, make a word up for me.

ok math stud, solve this:

The cookie company packages cookies in packs of 5, 11, and 18. what is the LARGEST number of cookies that you WOULD NOT be able to get exactly? For example, it would be impossible for you to get exactly nine cookies with their packaging sizes, but you could get 73 cookies by using 3-11 packs and 8-5 packs or 11-5 packs and 1-18 pack.

Ahhhhh, the power of TI83s

cheater!

Life isn’t what they tell you turtle.

I'm noticing something funny here, your brain can compute numbers very, very easily, and the only known component of the mind that can do that is the subconcious. You must have developed in a way so that more direct pathways could pass through the subconscious, and solve equations accordingly.

On the other hand though, English is a much more 'human' subject, and yet you struggle with it. Here is why computers can do math just like that, but have yet to talk to us. I believe that your subconscious is influencing your normal thought patterns more so that most people.

The subconscious is very susceptible to influence too, and will even look for messages where there is none (Another one bites the dust may make you want some chronic). Adults have told you your whole life that math will get you everywhere, and that it was much more important than it actually was, and your mind just accepted it, backing up my theory.

Hmm, I guess its a bit rude to analyze someone’s mind, but oh well.

nono foozy, I do it all the time.
It's called "reading people".

I don't struggle with English, I said it is just harder to do than math. Partly because of my ADD and that I am dyslexic.

Hmm, I guess its a bit rude to analyze someone’s mind, but oh well.

It is, actually. Pretentious, too. But I'm the last person who should be talking about that shit.

Regardless. I just hope this place doesn't turn into PseudoShrinks central. I have an irrational loathing for anyone who thinks they have a blueprint of the brain all figured out.

Besides all of that shit. It's just plain irrelevent.
But I'm the last person to be talking about that shit.

I'm off to do some sums.

I know, its just late.

One thing to concider, the brain is a product of simple protein evolution, so it cant be that complicated. All it is physically is waves of electricity bouncing between and pushing together connections, and some bloods and heat in there too.

Humans are gonna figure it out soon.

But the fact that we can have life, thought, and conciousness from electricity (energy) leads me to beleive in that theory that I posted in Danimation a while ago. You know the one Git.

Even if its not true, I'm comforted and happy, so I win.

Sure, we'll figure it out from a biological standpoint. But there's no fucking way anyone's ever going to manage to get through the 'software' side of things. That shit is more complicated and bloated and bogged down with useless bullcrap than the average Windows release.
My point is - we'll never be able to properly psychoanalyse each other. Attempting it is pretentious - our drives and desires are hidden too deep for us to pick at.
Not that picking at it isn't fun.
I always was into psychology - I can drop names better than fucking Raven. And I still think Stanley Milgram kicked ass because he didn't act like a pretentious assbag.

Look. I could say that TurtleBlob sees the world only through logic. That he's one of those fags that think that numbers are the key to anything and everything.
But then I'd be the same. I'd be simplifying everything too. I'd be just like the fag in Germany who is using mathamatics to disprove God.
Logic is bullshit.
Mathamatical, psychological, or otherwise.

Posix?

You say that I was being obnoxious by stating that turtleman was more attune to logic, but it was just an observation, after andrew's music post got me thinking about the brain.

I just thought it was interesting that all aspects of the post added up. Sure, Turtleman could be someone in real life who's full of charisma, and free thought, but I'm just working with whats given to me.

I do think, however, that humans are holding themselves in too high of a decree when concidering if theres god or not. We've been avoiding theorys about he brain, excusing it as being our essence, as if it was the most important thing ever, when all it seems to be is matter and energy.

The prospect of the existance of matter and energy, rules of physics, and exacly how real they are, and what makes up reality, is much more imortant.

A mind is not so sacred, and I think I'll think about it if I want too. A blueprint will not be built if we dont try, and then its just one less thing we understand.

Another thought, the man in germany, trying to disprove god with math, did he ever bother to wonder why 1 + 1 = 2 every time? Think about it, even things that seem so simple cant be explained. Why is there gravity, ass opposed to atoms repelling each other? You could go into detail by describing the attraction of electrons, but then why are they not repelling, and why is anything doing anything.

Maybe humans and their minds are much too small to comprehend the scheme of things.

Thanks for stating the obvious.

Just to make things complicated,

1+1 dose not always=2, because they both could have different base numbers. If anyone has studied logarithims, they would know you can not add two numbers of different base numbers. So theoretically, 1+1 dose not=2 unless they have the same base.

No problem.

I just felt like closing my post with that because its beginning to annoy me that I cant even get past the surface.

Then why doesent 1+1 = 2 every time, what I'm saying is that theres no reason for math to work, and theres no premice willing anything to exist or happen. Why is so much unstable, while other tinhgs are so constant? Why are things the same with the passage of time? Why are things different?

Its not the the 'why' question, its just that, when you try to apply math into the reason for math, neither math makes sense.

I've got an idea, how about you guys stop masturbating to your own ego for a few minutes okay?

I once thought like you did and then I realized how little that matters. Ignorance is bliss.
