3 years ago, /sci/ helped me write a paper for my undergraduate class in proteins.
I've since graduated with a BS in biochemistry.

I am deeply saddened to see the state /sci/ is in currently.
It's even more troubling because I came back in hopes to pay it forward.
However, it seems this is no longer the board it once was.

I somewhat get the gist of:

1. You take a base case and prove that what you try to claim holds for this base case (usually index 1)
2. In the induction step you use a hypothesis as premise (that your claim holds for n)
3. You prove that it also holds for n+1 and therefore for all numbers

But I don't get...
a) the logic behind "let's just assume it counts for all numbers till an arbitrarily chosen index n" and if the claim holds there, it therefore must be true for all numbers following after that.

If I take a sample of 1 to n...

You prove it's true for 1. You also proved that if it's true for n, it's true for n+1. Therefore it is true for 2. By the same reasoning, it is true for 3. Etc.

Should /sci/ be split?

/life sciences/ --- biology, neuroscience, genetics, biochemistry, zoology, ecology, botany, medicine, pharmacology, veterinary, etc.

/physical and formal sciences/ --- mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, etc.

Basically, one board for
science that revolves around mathematics and one for science that doesn't use mathematics so extensively.

We already have /his/ for history, but I also propose we broaden it to /social sciences/ so it becomes about anthropology, archaeology, economics, geography, history,...

Can someone explain this Nasa report to me?

http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/nasa-study-mass-gains-of-antarctic-ice-sheet-greater-than-losses

For those who are too lazy to click on the link, Nasa is basically saying that the mass gain of antarctic ice sheet is greater than the loss

Does this disprove the climate change?

>>7840707
For it to disprove anything there would have to be valid assertions in the first place.

It actually proves climate change. It means the climate is changing for the better :^)

Another proof for God and his precise balance. It would be an astronomical chance for evolution to "create" bees that pollunate which happens to be a vital necessity for life to grow.

Hi everybody. I am interesting in teaching myself various areas of science related subjects and now wish to delve into a more sort of hands-on experience.

I have been searching around for kind of adult-orientated chemistry kits, electronics/circuits kits, etc. - anything practical so I can view things in a way that textbooks can't help with

Obviously, most things on the market are quite simple and intended for kids so I was wondering what you all may have found to be helpful in the past or even currently. price is not an issue.

I am currently looking at rasp pi and arduino sets. raspberry pi seems to have more of a noob friendly community so i may go with that first.

Hey /sci/, if you take a sequence of functions such as
$f_n(t) = a_n cos(n.t) + b_n sin(n.t)$ such as f_n tend to the zero function, show that a_n and b_n tend to 0

ITT I will try to solve (and in fact solve) all the Millennium Prize Problems one by one. I will do so by a new proof technique that has been proved to be quite powerful. It combined homothopy theory with algebraic geometry. Having said that, the proof technique itself is elementary though. So, let's go ahead.

1. $\displaystyle P=NP$

By definition, polynomila algorithms admit decomposition in chains of smaller polynomial algorithms. Consequently, polynomial time algorithms do not solve problems where blocks, whoose order is the same as the underlying problem, require simultaneous resolution. Thus, in fact $\displaystyle P \neq NP$

2. Hodge conjecture

Assuming that if a compact Kähler mainfold is complex-analytically rigid, the area-minimizing subvarieties approach complex analytic subvarieties. The set of singularities of an area-minimizng flux is zero in measure. The rest it left to the reader as an easy routine excersize.

3. Riemann hypothesis

This is a simple experimental fact. $\displaystyle 10^{13}$ roots of the Riemann hypothesis have been already tested and it suffices for all practical applications. In fact, one state a suitable statistical hypothesis and check it on the sample of, say, $\displaystyle 10^5$ roots.

4. Yang–Mills existence and mass gap

Well, discrete infinite bosonic energy-mass spectrum of gauge bosons under Gelfand nuclear triples admits non-perturbative quantization of Yang-Mills fields whence the gauge-invariant quantum spectrum is bounded below. A particular consequence is the existence of the mass gap.

5. Navier–Stokes existence and smoothness

(To be continued)
>>
>>7840297
(Cont.)

I haven't worked this one in such detail, but observing that

$\displaystyle \| L (u, v) \| ^ 2 = \sum_{n \ge 25} u ^ 2_ {2n} v ^ 2_ {2n +1} / n ^ 2 \le C\|(u_n/\sqrt n)\|_4^2 \|(v_n/\sqrt n)\|_4^2 \le C\|(u_n/\sqrt n)\|_2^2 \|(v_n/\sqrt n)\|_2^2 = C \left (\sum u ^ 2_ {n} / n \right) \left (\sum v ^ 2_ {n} / n \right)$

one can easily find at leat one closed-form solution applying the bubble integral. In the equation, $\displaystyle L$ is a bilinear operator.
