How much would you guys agree that higher level springer books are too hard to understand via self-study, and/or could be replaced by an alternate source?

[neat lintel]

Books have their prerequisites, All Springer books that I've read so far is understandable for me.

and they shouldn't be replaced

[uneven tinsel]

I agree 100 percent to both of you

[vivid halo]

disagree

there are very few sources that are genuinely inappropriate for self-study

[solar hawk]

I think it’s a little weird to say cuz .. springer is a publisher afaik

Like the contents of a book doesn’t rlly have connection to what the rest of their books lol

Like one author can be super terse

And publish to springer

[fresh comet]

what would you replace such books with at that point?

[solar hawk]

And one can be super easy

[fresh comet]

your only other option would literally just be other books

and that has nothing to do with the publisher

Hello friends. I'm about to take Dif. Eq. this semester. I don't have Calc 3 yet so was wondering if I needed it before taking the Diff. Eq course?

[deep mango]

Not really

Depends if your diff eq course talks about PDEs at all

If it does youll have a bit to learn

[dusty river]

Its a first course so I don't think it will

I'll be taking linear algebra and calc 3 as well so I hope any gaps will be filled as I go through them simultaneously

hi frens

i am slowly overcoming the shock of suddenly having run out of gay webtoons

[dreamy ore]

omg hi

sadly i gtg soon 😢

[vast wraith]

hiii what do you mean go >:S

[unborn ferry]

True, math is in cooking however the only funny thing is the use of math in general cooking is not as much as “winging” the recipe based on what you know. The average joe is not going to use a diffusion model to cook their eggs with the whites cooked and the yellow still runny

Usually the go to method would be to bring a pot of water to boiling

And dropping the eggs in for 6 minutes

Most of the identifiable math here is usually subconscious

[verbal karma]

Well, you do that in industrial settings where you need to design machine to actually cook food to specific conditions

But like, the argument on “average joe" is more or less too subjective. You can live a life only know arithmetic.

[uneven tinsel]

Okay I agree 100% to both of you

[cinder zephyr]

There's a thing called "error correcting codes"

Basically when you send a message over the internet

It's just 0s and 1s, binary

Life happens, maybe there's some electrical interference, some of those bits get flipped

Now the message is wrong, very annoying

What happens is that we often append extra information to the message

That allow your computer to correct the errors after it receives the message

So that your communications and downloads and whatever don't constantly have a bunch of error messages in them, just the actual message

[unborn ferry]

I agree with that

[unborn ferry]

Sorry if my statement wasn’t clear, I mean like a home cook or chef in the kitchen

But yes you are absolutely right

[verbal karma]

It is the bad part of math that you usually use it to make something and then done

Like, the cooking robot actually need to calculate those things when they are designing the system. But consumer can just press a button and let the magic happen

So, from the point of consumer, that is nothing math. It just a machine. But to make the arm moves or to think about withstanding material for the machine, that is just math upon math upon math.

[unborn ferry]

So to summarize from your standpoint is that for the consumer’s convenience, the thought of math using an automated machine to fulfill their task is usually ignored until the process to which how the machine does its designed purpose is seen from its own perspective, therefore taking in data and formulating decisions based off the data that is inputted?

[verbal karma]

Math in this process is like architect. You design it once and you are done

[graceful flower]

the machine realistically runs on thoughts and prayers of the engineers frfr

[unborn ferry]

Agreed

The architect designs the design for mostly the intended purpose not entirety of how it works

That is the process it takes to design it

[verbal karma]

Yeah. Like in machine learning. You build a model and that is math heavy. But once you have that, you just serve that to customers. Like ChatGPT. You don't need to know math to use it. You technically don't need to know (advanced) math to build it. But you need math to design it or to make a blueprint so that you can code it.

At that phase, you push back and forth on design and testing. But once you have a product, you probably don't need that much of the complex math to use

That's why it is hard to put into a perspective when you want to use math in real life. You do use product of mathematics but not necessarily the math itself

Unless, of course, you are maker who makes those magic happen

they all wear ten gallon hats

[rocky shuttle]

what finger painting problem?

[gusty socket]

i’m trying to show that if i have a handle decomposition of a closed odd dimensional manifold, the number of even handles and the number of odd handles are the same

this is on an introductory chapter to a book i wanna read lol

i’m sure that it’ll be fine after i actually go back and understand the actual material of one of the later sections of the chapter better

[rocky shuttle]

what does even and odd mean here?

[gusty socket]

a q-handle is D^q x D^n-q with an attaching map out of S^q-1xD^n-q and even handle is even q and odd handle is odd q

and then a handlebody decomposition is going to be given by handle attachments to the boundary (but thicken the boundary so that it’s the right dimension)

if M is closed there is no boundary so any handle decomposition of M has to have at least one 0-handle

[storm sage]

[neat lintel]

???

[leaden skiff]

How do you even define slow for divergence

What does it mean for something to diverge slowly

[coral terrace]

im extremely stupid

something converges slowly

bruh

[leaden skiff]

How do you define slow for convergence

I get what you mean, it does feel like the harmonic series diverges slowly

I'm just wondering if there's a way to make it rigorous

[coral terrace]

hmm

i saw an expression of pi which quote unquote converged slowly

like even with a million terms you only had a few decimals

[desert verge]

🤓

[coral terrace]

yeah i guess its subjective

like >>

pi/4= sum from n=0 to inf of (-1)^n 1/(2n+1)

i guess i dont have a rigorous definition for it

[river moon]

if you subtract from the harmonic sum the log, the limit suddenly exists now

and log is one of the slowest growing functions

because it's derivative approaches 0

[coral terrace]

can u give an example

[river moon]

that is literally the example

$\lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{k=1}^n \frac{1}{k} - \log (n) = \gamma \approx 0.57721$

[fathom swallow]

Transparent Elemental

[latent edge]

yeah

the harmonic number is asymptotically equal to log term + little gamma + O(1/x)

so when you take x-> inf

well

$\sum_{n \le x} \frac{1}{n} = \log x + \gamma + \frac{1}{2x} - \sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{B_{2k}}{2k x^{2x}}$

[fathom swallow]

Deltoid

[neat lintel]

that doesn't answer my question

why it diverges?

[old oak]

Because of nerd reasons

(Integral test or condensation test)

[solid snow]

$\lim_{N\to\infty} \int_{1}^{N} x^{-1} \dd{x}$ does not exist

[neat lintel]

nah i just gotta maintain a 4.0 gpa in college and ill be fine

[old oak]

Then why do you care about the divergence of the harmonic series? What money is there in that?

[neat lintel]

i wanted to see if yall are smart

turns out im the smartest here

[fresh comet]

I don't see why thinking that money is everything makes you the smartest here, nor why that label matters at all.

[neat lintel]

Isn't that common sense?

Money = happiness

[fresh comet]

it is not common sense, no.

[old oak]

That's the spirit

[fresh comet]

not everyone has such a bleak outlook on life, I'm afraid.

[old oak]

13-year olds often do

[fresh comet]

fair enough, but if james is a 13 year old who's made it to university, then I think I ought to congratulate him a bit for it

[old oak]

Overachieving 13-year olds have it all the more

[neat lintel]

wdym

I got accepted to the university of waterloo like 2 years ago

[fresh comet]

so you were accepted at the age of 11?

[peak tide]

since coming to uni i've met properly rich people that i'd never really have ever ran into before, and they're all as annoyed at life as the rest of us

[neat lintel]

sounds like u are just mad lol

[peak tide]

they need to get richer 🤣

[fresh comet]

why would I be mad?

I have nothing against you personally

I feel like you're trying to rile me up for some reason

that's 2 ppl today I've congratulated in 2hrs

[jaunty ibex]

i wanna get honourable for being good at number theory aaaaaa

[fresh comet]

is there more I wonder

[neat lintel]

whats ur gpa

[jaunty ibex]

ngl u sound like the average guy on linkedin

[stuck token]

like 5

[fresh comet]

a genuine question: why do you care?

I could tell you, but I don't see why it matters!

[stuck token]

is gpa a uni thing I thought it was before university?

[steep mountain]

assessing if you're worth his time

[neat lintel]

gpa measures how smart u are

[fresh comet]

it most definitely does not!

[jaunty ibex]

oh it measures how smart people are they I'm the dumbest here

good to know

now what

[peak tide]

maybe measures how many easy classes you took haha

[fresh comet]

say, there was a student in my LA class who literally fainted on the final exam worth 50% of his grade. he failed the course because of that, but I would easily call him brighter than me (and this is not me racing to the bottom); by your logic, he was apparently one of the stupidest in the class like ???

this is a silly metric

[steep mountain]

gpa depends on the university too, inflation or deflation happen, it just approximates how much you understood the content of the courses you took on average, and how much time you commit to studying.

[neat lintel]

well that's not my problem

[steep mountain]

smartness is not binary, people have different skills in different areas

[peak tide]

damn that's even worse than me incorrectly setting my alarm and sleeping through most of a final during my last semester
(got to take it as a makeup exam though)

[steep mountain]

yknow

[fresh comet]

[neat lintel]

u gotta work hard to get 4.0 gpa cuz med school care less about your being

[solid snow]

you guys are putting effort into responding to what is obviously a troll

[fresh comet]

ah, you're a premed?

[peak tide]

yea i have read on several occasions that the average gpa in some of the ivy league universities is like 3.7, absurd

[fresh comet]

counterpoint: arguing with random people online is extremely satisfying and fun

no matter if they're a troll or not

[stuck token]

someone I know went out the night before his exam (cause he forgot he had one the day after he thought it was like 3 days after) and then slept through it completely

[fresh comet]

is that an inflation or deflation?

[solid snow]

inflation

[peak tide]

damn, did he get to take a makeup exam?

[peak tide]

inflated as hell, the "average" student gets an A?

[fresh comet]

ah

[stuck token]

it was 2nd year and that's the only thing he missed so he had to do a resit but capped at 40%

[peak tide]

ouch

[solid snow]

capped at 40% is salt on the wound

[peak tide]

indeed

[stuck token]

all resits at my uni are capped at 40%

[peak tide]

probably still fail even if you resit

[stuck token]

but I think only first and 2nd year get them?

[peak tide]

just retake the class ig

[solid snow]

40% is a failing grade what is the point of resitting

[stuck token]

40% is a pass here

[jaunty ibex]

my guess is that guy had a big inflation in his high school which lead to a lot of people having an average of 99 in high school. now he is just being arrogant about getting into top schools

[solid snow]

ah

[stuck token]

British grade boundaries so 40%+ is a pass

[solid snow]

my guess is that none of this is even true and theyre just trolling

[peak tide]

yea high school grades are pretty much meaningless, there are high schools with 20-30 valedictorians

[stuck token]

what actually is GPA?

[solid snow]

grade point average

[stuck token]

cause I thought it was a high school thing specifically

[solid snow]

they assign points to a grade boundary and then average them out of all the classes you take

[peak tide]

universities have GPA too (in the US at least)

if it's too low they'll kick you out

[neat lintel]

wdym i worked hard for a 98 in high school 🤓

[solid snow]

it's a bit dumb since averaging the points across widely different classes ends up giving you a meaningless metric

[stuck token]

is it just the average of your module/class marks

[solid snow]

yes

[neat lintel]

waterloo gives you the free card to get big money effortlessly

[peak tide]

quantized marks yes

[stuck token]

quantized marks?

[peak tide]

it is not a very good metric but better than nothing i guess

[steep mountain]

inflation is better than deflation at least

i wouldn't be suprised if the average here is 30/100

[peak tide]

your course marks get converted to a letter grade based on thresholds (A/B/C/D/F) and then for the gpa, some number is assigned, like A=4, B=3, etc

some schools have + and - versions of the letter grades, not all do

[stuck token]

Is that not stupid though?

as in should it not take into account where you are in the boudnary

[peak tide]

it's kind of brain dead

[neat lintel]

i got 4.0 gpa in high school

[peak tide]

that's what the + and - are for

when they exist

[stuck token]

oh ok

[peak tide]

like A might be 4, A- is 3.7, B+ is 3.3, B is 3, whatever

even so they still have to draw the line somewhere

[neat lintel]

i had As for all of my classes

[stuck token]

We just average the percentage you get out and then the years are weighted differently so 2nd year is worth less than 3rd year

[neat lintel]

im smart

[peak tide]

but ig on average over a four year degree it washes out

[stuck token]

and then that determines your degree classification

[solid snow]

is this mod ping worthy

being incessantly annoying

[stuck token]

but what are the boundaries cause the highest grade here is just 70%+

which is a big boundary

[solid snow]

depends on the professor and the university

[peak tide]

this is smarter, if the numbers are comparable between courses
like if 90% in math is comparably hard to achieve as 90% in say english or what have you

[stuck token]

The vast majority of people are only in one course anyway but everything should be comparable in any joint honours stuff

[peak tide]

it varies from school to school and course to course
often the instructors wait until the end to see the distribution of raw scores, and then assign letter grades at what look like natural breakpoints

[stuck token]

I imagine the only cases where it becomes a bit weird is at kind of low tier obscure unis where they don't care as much about balancing difficulty

no offence to those going to them

[fresh comet]

we get deflated on average over here too

but not nearly as bad as you

[stuck token]

we're getting inflated every year

[steep mountain]

it hurts grad applications mostly

[neat lintel]

let me guess u are not from uw? lmao

[solid snow]

<@&268886789983436800>

this is just out of hand

[stuck token]

they're changing one of the core maths modules for 2nd year here because "too many people are failing it and it's too difficult" but because of grade curving the average mark is like as high as it's ever been which is so funny

[peak tide]

i think in the US (at least in math) grad schools know that there's a lot of variation in GPAs from one undergrad school to another, that's why things like letters of recommendation carry so much weight

[steep mountain]

cause like i would have a 80/100 mark in a important class and the 2nd highest mark is 50 but like its still worse than mark from X school who has 100/100 on that course in his uni

[jaunty ibex]

that's crazy

[fresh comet]

I'm at Toronto, but I hold respect for UW as an institution. You happen to be one of the more insufferable students from there I've seen on this server, which is unfortunate, because almost everyone else I've seen has been quite nice

[steep mountain]

which i do address in like motivation to some extent

abel was a nice mathematician

hey delt wanna get scared

[latent edge]

no

[jaunty ibex]

ill take it as yes

[jaunty ibex]

@latent edge

[latent edge]

not scary

[gusty socket]

the implication would be that james was an alt made to create a negative impression of the undergraduate students at UW

not that james was made to shill UW

which isn't to say anything about whether it's true or not, just that this would be the indictment, since deltoid is known to dislike UW

[old oak]

All I can say is that I've seen UW mentioned more times within the last few days than I have in the previous 40ish years of my life.

Someone is running a publicity campaign, although whether it's UW or its enemies it's hard to tell

[jaunty ibex]

[uneven tinsel]

[jagged forge]

yeah

[north topaz]

fun fact: if you learn music before the age of around 6 and you grow up in a country where they speak a tonal language

you are 80% likely to develop perfect pitch

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/speaking-tonal-languages/

maybe not 80% but

[north topaz]

it's actually more common in Asian American folk

[fervent oyster]

okay cool

[fervent oyster]

I have a question. If you hear something pitchless like white noise, are you able to pick out individual notes?

Like can you suppress all other notes than, let’s say, A♭ and hear A♭ as the main note?

I can do that, but apparently it’s rare even with perfect pitch, so I was wondering if others could do it

I never thought much of it

[fervent oyster]

oh wow

[north topaz]

like significantly more likely

[north topaz]

I can tell you what note a car horn is, having perfect pitch myself

[fervent oyster]

oh cool

[north topaz]

white noise just doesn't have any kind of pitch

it's like naming the pitch of someone slapping their hand on a table

[fervent oyster]

right

[north topaz]

but like even worse

cause there's no sound

[fervent oyster]

but the way I’ve learned about white noise is that it has all pitches

if that makes sense

[north topaz]

ehhhhh I don't think you're talking about an echo chamber

white noise produces the opposite amplitude of the surrouding noise

so that the resulting sound cancels out to zero

[fervent oyster]

i was told it was like hiw white light has all wavelengths of visible light

hiw-8

how**

like the kind of white noise people play from their phone

now Im curious about how we perceive that

like two frequencies with the same frequency (sounds wrong lol) but with opposite phases

[north topaz]

that's different

[fervent oyster]

i wonder how that works

[fervent oyster]

mhm?

[north topaz]

sound doesn't work like that

if you add together two different sounds it becomes louder

if you add many different colours, but using paint, you will get something very close to black

[fervent oyster]

oh

[north topaz]

it's only with light that adding many different colours gives white

[fervent oyster]

subtractive and additive color?

that’s interesting

[north topaz]

exactly

that's the technical name which I forgot

[fervent oyster]

oh

maybe an example I should have used was

a car moving on the road

and you hear everything from the tires moving and the car vibrating

does that make sense? it makes sense but it doesn’t 😭😭

like it sounds like it doesn’t have any certain pitch until you focus on one

[neat lintel]

yh like when u listen to a song so much u focus on js the certain instruments

[uneven tinsel]

Never

[jagged forge]

white noise? uhhhh i don't think so, that's a pretty extreme case

[jagged forge]

fun fact i did neither of these though i am asian american

i didn't even know i had it until i was 12

[north topaz]

lol

[fervent oyster]

ohh, okay

interesting

[fervent oyster]

kind of like that yeah

[jagged forge]

it does though

white noise has a flat frequency spectrum

that's why they call it white noise, it's like white light

[ionic star]

paint is subtractive but light is exactly like sound

[fervent oyster]

interesting

[fervent oyster]

oh?

[fervent oyster]

that’s what I’ve heard

[fervent oyster]

(@jagged forge too) could subtractive color be compared to something like a sound-absorption room (I forgot what they’re called), with additive color, or visible light being compared to something like a speaker?

😭😭

[jagged forge]

well, if something absorbs all of the sound, you're not going to hear "black noise" from that

it's just silence

well, i guess silence is like the color black

but i don't think we tend to think of silence as a "color" you can mix with other sounds

[jaunty ibex]

why should I care about Konstevich integral?

wait wrong channel lol

[worthy garden]

You have to get older to get better at math. You need to understand what 'math' is.

Being able to compute things fast in your brain is really a useless skill these days.

You need to understand the reasong and logic behind it.

I honestly believe a young person --- at least me when I was young (say, 17-18) has too many hormones flowing through him to be able to reason properly.

Plus, mathematics has dozens of subsets.

As someone who follows Hoare and Dijkistra's paradigm of 'structured programming', I have learned that it's all about 'domain anylasis', that is, reducing everything down to a 'domain'.

So for a high schooler or junior colleger: Reduce the problem to a domain.

And choose a subset you like

This is all respond to the 'how do I git gud at math' question someone just posted.

Not sure if it's a meme here. Apologies if it's a meme.

I'm personally learning how to prove my programs (both imperative and functional).

Also reading on metamathematics helps a lot.

[uneven tinsel]

Okay

[worthy garden]

Also I'm talking about Joe Q. Normal. There are of course exceptions to this rule that prove it. I knew this kid in high school who solved extremely hard problems.

But see he has skipped ahead a few grades and he was a late bloomer.

[hardy iron]

I feel like a layman would use quick mental computation more than rigorous thought process

[worthy garden]

Why. They all have a computer in their pockets don't they. Only a solar flare would stop it from working.

I'm personally trying to think in hexadecial and octal and do mind-computation in that base. I trreat my brain like a stack machine to learn it lol. But I still check vital stuff with Unix expr utility.

Thinking hexadecimal helps with OS development because you need to know a lot of buffer addreses.

But nobody trusts mind-computation with serious stuff. I am making a hobby OS that will only run on an emulator, and I still don't trust my mind.
Back when they made Boeing 747 they used slide-rules. Before that they used abaci.

Even buying a bag of Cheetoz (it's spelled with a z here), I would not trust mind-computation

[hardy iron]

imagine having to whip out a phone for a simple 4 digits addition when trading chips in a casino

relying on a phone too much is the exact opposite of a good thing to do

[worthy garden]

Imagine shipping an unverified software with 0 temporal memory safety that causes the largest IT outage in Western countries.

Sometime you have to rely on unverified computations

I dunno man.

What I mean is, if you can use a calculator, you should.

[hardy iron]

but an average people would use less rigorous thought process anyways

[uneven tinsel]

These two examples are very different

[worthy garden]

Au contraire, this casino thing is a good microchasm for the 'software crisis'

At least at first glance.

I did not know dealers had to do fast math honestly.

I have to look into this.

I don't know how to play cards at all.

My dad was not a player so I never learned.

I had to turn down a lucrative Poker software deal because of it 😦

I don't know much about gaming -- as in game theory. Which reminds me i have to go back to my game theory book. TTYGS.

You guys should not bully me because I am mostly self-taught and I am still learning a lot of suff 😄 (I dropped out of 'programming' in scientific-vocational college after 3 semester. I have studied 6 semesters in 2 other majors. I just can't stick with a university program. Bipolar, diagnosed at 13).

The main thesis was that hormones make some teenagers like me stupid. Plus illness (in my case, diabees and bipolarity)

An expert told me about the hormone thing. A human sciences phd.

[jagged forge]

teenage hormones affect your self control and decision making skills, but i've never heard anyone argue that it impacts your raw skills when it comes to something like math or programming

though i could buy that as you get older you get better at different types of reasoning

that said i do think saying teenagers can't do math because of hormones is wrong, or at least better explained by other factors

such as.... being more interested in other things

and of course there are many teenagers that can do math

Well I did understand basic continuous math like interation and differentation, and basic discrete math, and some linalg. Whatever they taught me at school I understood. I aced functions in 10th grade. In February of 2010 (11th grade) I was diagnosed with T1 diabetes and this mixed in with my bipolarity (I never cared what type I am because I don't tie my identity to the mental disease that I got, but if I am T1 I will be T1x2) really crashed my vitals, I had to sleep 16hours a day. I skipped 90% of 12th grade. Ended up staying a month in the mental hospital twice.
So maybe it was just my wexperience. lol.

@odd narwhal Can we give unsolicited advice though.

For example: wear pants during the rain.

What is a soup'd up PDF viewer for Linux? I'm tired of using Evince. The only other one I know is gv which is ancient.
Evince runs DVI and PostScript files too. But it has no QoL features.
I want a DVI/PS/PDF reader that fornicates.
