e^(ix) = cos(x) + i sin(x)

That is the euler relationship. You can use that relationship to convert any expression with a trig function into an expression of exponentials and imaginary numbers. “Euler’s formula” is a good search term if you want to learn more

Shout out to the euler relationship for allowing me to forget every single trig identity I ever learned

They call me heat miser Whatever I touch Starts to melt in my clutch!

(Sorry if this was a joke that went over my head and not an earnest question)

Afaik its a strategy to scare off predators. The general idea goes like… predators dont want to get stung --> predators less likely to eat wasps --> fly pretends to be wasp --> predator less likely to eat fly for fear of being stung. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimicry here is a Wikipedia page if you feel like reading a much better longer description written by people who know a whole shitload more about biology than I do.

You count up in incremental numbers until you reach 5280 and then finally increment from 0 to 1 miles. That’s base 5280. Just because we didnt invent more symbols to easily represent that does not mean its not a different numeric base.

Did you read the words I wrote? It looks like youre responding to a “imperial units are better than metric” strawman which you may notice I didnt say or even allude to

This comment brought to you by a complete and fundamental misunderstanding of what it means to use a different base numeral

Imagine being so close minded and bad at math that you can only think in base 10 and feel the constant need to degrade people who are good at math in different bases

Idk about yall but I am better than a stegosauraus. Im social (allegedly), intelligent (allegedly), and my thagomizer is magnificent (undeniably)

This is a shit take. The meme is showing two different stereotypes of college freshman. There is not a qualitative difference between the “hard” sciences and the others; the biologists climatologists and psychologists I’ve known all adhere to the same scientific method and mathematical rigor I learned getting my handful of grad and postgrad degrees in physics math and compsci. The only real difference I’ve seen is that “soft” sciences tend to work on problems with more stochastic moving parts, making them harder to understand on average. They’re not easier, you’re just ignorant of the complexity and too arrogant to consider the expertise and accomplishments of others.

I have literally designed and implemented aircraft parts based on inspiration I got listening to somebody infodump about an animal they were studying. Learn the things other people care about. It will make you better at what you care about and probably a better person in the process

I still vote we do it. Guaranteed Nature publication for whoever figures out the infrastructure required to pull it off

(…) of uniform density in a neutral vacuum.

both sides of the original meme are wrong, cmv
