serious question for yall
<UmbralRaptop>
… that sounds like an actual math thing
<UmbralRaptop>
go on
<SilverFox>
I'm working on upping my classes for university prep, math is of course one of them, what are some good resources for ..people of my level.. to level up my maths
<SilverFox>
academically I believe I did up to grade 11 college level maths
<eigenellies>
guessing that "astatine antagonist" refers to most substances...
<eigenellies>
what does "grade 11 college level" mean, we don't have any good sense of this on a general level
<UmbralRaptop>
obviously this involves molecular biology and binding sites
<eigenellies>
ow oof my absolute astatine receptors
<UmbralRaptop>
Uh, given my highschool, grade 11 has a 50% chance of being Calc I
<SilverFox>
I dont remember any specific names of calculus, but I remember doing vectors and stuff
<eigenellies>
vector fields, or just discrete vectors?
<SilverFox>
I remember finishing the work dummy fast and spending half the class working on calculating wind stuff for KWS back in its day
<SilverFox>
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
<SilverFox>
like physics vectors
<UmbralRaptop>
vector calculus is either Calc III, or the intro chunk of upper level undergraduate electromagnetism
<SilverFox>
yeah neither of those
<UmbralRaptop>
ah, "just" vectors? (so, trig ish)
<eigenellies>
for our high school, we think it was like, uh... calculus 1 in grade 11 if you're considered High Achieving, grade 12 if you're Average, or not at all till college if you're Low Achieving (us)
<eigenellies>
vector calc was like, the entirety of our undergrad e&m lol
<eigenellies>
because as far as we know, e&m is just vector calc with like, three extra constraints
<SilverFox>
"foundations for college mathematics" is what the course is called in our curriculum
<SilverFox>
I didn't take functions
<eigenellies>
we wish we had useful input on how to learn math
<UmbralRaptop>
That sounds sort of like a rebranded College Algebra ™
<SilverFox>
we did algebra
<eigenellies>
it never came easy for us and it still doesn't, which is why we kind of don't fully believe we actually got a fizzix degree,
<SilverFox>
fizzix?
<SilverFox>
weird spelling
<eigenellies>
we're just being silly
<UmbralRaptop>
φισικσ
<SilverFox>
dont start throwing greek at me
<eigenellies>
fizzix is indistinguishable from physics in pronounciation with our particular accent
<SilverFox>
I mean, yes it works
<SilverFox>
imagine speaking in the language of the uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck is it called
<SilverFox>
those accents for every sound in language
<UmbralRaptop>
To be fair, math has never been /that/ easy. Especially the more abstract stuff
<SilverFox>
its not the phonetic alphabet, because that's military shenanigans, but same concept
<UmbralRaptop>
IPA?
<eigenellies>
for us, the conceptual side has never been much of a problem, even where abstract... it's just like, remembering procedures to actually do things, or how to set up problems
<eigenellies>
the memorization side
<SilverFox>
yeah IPA
<eigenellies>
honestly we'd probably be really good at all of this if our ADHD had been under better control through hs and college
<eigenellies>
but lol oops nobody believed we had it
<SilverFox>
people believed I had it
<SilverFox>
that's for sure
<UmbralRaptop>
aaaaa
<egg|zzz|egg>
"military shenanigans"?
* UmbralRaptop
was given the whole spiel about outgrowing ADHD

"this girl comes to every class, tries her best to understand what's being said, and needs a lot of help getting started but seems very insightful and clever. she also rarely gets the homework done on time. what could it be?? I bet she's just lazy"
<eigenellies>
oh the radio alphabet
<eigenellies>
is what we have heard that called
<eigenellies>
designed to make it easier to distinguish letters with bad audio quality
<SilverFox>
we call it the phonetic alphabet
<eigenellies>
makes sense
<SilverFox>
not to be confused with the IPA
<SilverFox>
which is also the phonetic alphabet
<eigenellies>
hehe
<egg|zzz|egg>
echo golf golf
<egg|zzz|egg>
[ɛɡ]
<eigenellies>
do we have a radio alphabet for all the possible symbols in IPA yet
<eigenellies>
how many symbols is that anyway
<egg|zzz|egg>
Oscar Eugène Ursule François
<eigenellies>
we know far less than we should about IPA lol
<UmbralRaptop>
Like 120, or something
<egg|zzz|egg>
[œf]
<egg|zzz|egg>
the IPA is nice
* egg|zzz|egg
pets the IPA
<SilverFox>
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
<SilverFox>
e = mc^2
<SilverFox>
e = m - (a^2 + b^2)

γ = 1/√(1-(v/c²))
<eigenellies>
er, fuck
<eigenellies>
γ = 1/√(1-(v/c)²)
<eigenellies>
that was always one of our favorites
<egg|zzz|egg>
L/V²
<eigenellies>
the relativistic γ factor is such a useful concept

and then the author suggests experimental verification by weighing radium salts
<UmbralRaptop>
meep
<eigenellies>
ah, a fun,
<eigenellies>
hope there's a plan to deal with the radon...
* eigenellies
remember dealing with the radioactive samples in experimental physics class in college
<egg|zzz|egg>
well; he writes "it is not excluded that with bodies whose energy content changes to a large extent (for instance with the radium salts), a verification of the theory will succeed"
<eigenellies>
they were all sealed, exempt sources that were like 10 years old...
<eigenellies>
so anything with a half-life shorter than about 2 or 3 years was basically inert
<eigenellies>
the positron coincidence experiment was kind of a letdown because the sample was down to, like, 3 bq
<egg|zzz|egg>
"if the theory corresponds to facts, then the radiation carries inertia from the emitter to the absorber body"
<eigenellies>
a few of the longer-lived transuranics were still fairly hot though

<eigenellies>
this reminds us. we have at least one more smoke detector to pry the Am-241 out of
<eigenellies>
oh, bye egg
<UmbralRaptop>
meep (again)
<eigenellies>
we already recovered one such sample and have used it to a) make our geiger counter go EEEEEEEEE and b) destroy a microSD card
<SilverFox>
how radioactive is am-241 from smoke detectors?
<SilverFox>
how...stable is it when a neutron is introduced
<SilverFox>
and how easily can it be contained in a projectile that may or may not be used to protect the oil industry
<UmbralRaptop>
half-life is 432 years, fission cross sections get very Fun very fast

internationilization being localization?
<SilverFox>
like translating?
<egg|zzz|egg>
no, that's the job of actual translators
<SilverFox>
So what exactly is internationalization?
<egg|zzz|egg>
i18n engineering deals with the underlying logic, e.g., date and number formatting, pluralization, placeholder substitution, fun with bidirectional text, language code handling and fallback, etc.
