What is the true value of a science degree in today's society?
I think that science has not integrated itself with liberal arts yet. I see science and liberal arts being integrated. Using technology and other methods developed in scientific fields to help better understand our current society on a new level. Heres an example of integration: For my "social...- Four

Why do GPU's dwarf the computational power of CPU's?
No both are about highest quality. The reason for the difference is optimizations. I have done graphics programming in OpenGL. And much of the instructions you tell the graphics card to do can be paralized. The same is not true for the CPU. Example Draw triangle v1, v2, v3 with color mappings...- Four

High School How useful would an equation finder be ?
Personally despite the competition I think this will be more useful than something like Origin, cause of the learning curve is simpler. there's lots of people doing research, and also new people coming into the research field, they all need to graph and analyse their results in someway. Matlab...- Four

High School How useful would an equation finder be ?
I've been looking for datasets & equation pairs to test my stuff out. Thank you. And I'm happy to see my program is not bad on the easy level (monotonic ones). I don't get the same formula, but close approximation. Heres an example of what my program generates: For Hahn1...- Four

Graduate What Happens When 100 Perfect Logicians with Blue Foreheads Are in a Room?
I also agree with the video. I have heard a more cruel version of this. It just becomes difficult to think about without paper. Its deductive, at 4 and up its just not too easy to think all in your head.- Four

High School How useful would an equation finder be ?
OK, I've taken a look at trend line from excel. Trendline you have the option for log, mx +b, or polynomial. The most noticeable difference of what I have created is that the program picks what it thinks the best function form is (e^x, x, x^k etc...) and curve fits it. And lastly I don't have a...- Four

High School How useful would an equation finder be ?
you got x, y pairs from somewhere (maybe an experiment) and plug into program and pops up a simple equation that best models the pairs (e.g. y = e^x) and curve fitted as well. The reason I'm asking is cause I made such a program, and want to know if such a thing is useful to others.- Four

Graduate How to fire one electron at a time
How? I've been looking but the only thing I get is the double slit experiment. How do you build a device that shoots one electron at a time? I know how to build a device that shoots a whole stream of electrons. But 1 at a time! How is it possible to get to such high granularity?- Four

Ask a Stupid Quetion Get a Stupid Answer
Regis discovered that the nerves connecting your eyes to your head passes by your ear drums. Due to interference caused by the nerves when the person sees the brain registers really quiet sounds.

Should Forums Expand BB Code to Include HTML for Enhanced Text Editing?
It would be cool to have javascript support; that way I can make posts be interactive. Or perhaps small javascript programs that take input and do math. But that will lead to cookie theft. But if you can have something like that it would be so cool- Four
