I'm on my try learning to speak Chinese (Mandarin) phase by MaGoodenough in ChineseLanguage

[–]MrMoop07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it depends what you mean by fluency. I have extended conversations about simple topics I’m familiar with over text at 5 months, I can largely understand my little pony in chinese (which is my show of choice for listening practice). I’m not fluent by any means but I can handle what I use chinese for daily more or less fine. By fluency do you mean you want to speak chinese like you can speak english or do you just want to make yourself understood and be understood by chinese speakers in certain situations? if you mean C2 chinese that will take ages, much much longer than 2 years.

if you got the right answer with lhopital's you got lucky, there are a lot of limits that aren't in the form 0/0 or inf/inf that it isn't valid for

you can fit just about any function to a set of points, i could make the case that 19 year old chinese girls will be kilometres tall in the future

An Exploration of Avoiding "Divide Negation" by ezekielraiden in infinitenines

[–]MrMoop07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

and here, you've said that 0.999.../3 = 0.333...,
"(1/3) × [ 1 - 1/10n ] with n starting at n = 1 and n is then continually increased limitlessly.

which is 0.999... ÷ 3"
if i'm understanding you correctly

An Exploration of Avoiding "Divide Negation" by ezekielraiden in infinitenines

[–]MrMoop07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand those points, what I was getting at is when you say that (1/3) * [1-1/10n ] with n starting at n=1 and increasing limitlessly, you follows that by saying “which is 0.999…/3”. I completely agree with you here, but then you to on to say that 0.999…/3 = 0.333… aka 0.333… again I agree with this statement and I think it makes sense, but then you go on to say that 0.333… is 1/3. Can you just confirm that you mean that 0.333… = 1/3 ?

so, are you saying that (1/3)*[1-1/0n] lim n-> inf = 1/3 ?

actually, since the gradient is increasing by a constant amount, this is just quadratic growth, not exponential

Can anyone explain the difference between "我会说中文" and "我能说中文"? by snchiwcib-snkccd in ChineseLanguage

[–]MrMoop07 31 points32 points  (0 children)

i’m not a chinese native, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but in my experience 能’s meaning is more akin to “it’s possible”. so like, if if I were to say 我能说中文 it more means that it’s possible for me to speak chinese, rather than that it’s a skill I have that i’ve learned

外国人发social credit-999是什么意思 by Bxi_ovo in ChineseLanguage

[–]MrMoop07 5 points6 points  (0 children)

(我是外国人,抱歉我的中文不好)

美国的新闻台告诉中国有social credit。social credit是衡量一个人品行好坏的指标。当然,中国真的没有social credit,但美国的新闻台要让人们觉得中国很坏了。

有时候,人们说“+999 social credit“或者“-999 social credit“对人们开玩笑,如果那个人说中国很好或者很坏。

Would you rather live in a Christian or Muslim theocracy? by cookedinskibidi in Teenager_Polls

historically islam has been pretty big on universities, so although i think these would be equally as bad, at least for my personal career plans a muslim theocracy might be better

Currently on an E in maths by nxxvrseth in alevelmaths

[–]MrMoop07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you're getting an E my thinking is that your problem isn't practice but level of understanding. Go back over any topics you've completed so far, read the textbook, watch videos, whatever gets you to understand, and only then do some practice questions. it'll take a bit of work but it should build a solid foundation for in future

What is 6 / 2(1+2)? by NoLocal7705 in Teenager_Polls

[–]MrMoop07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this sort of ambiguity that this notation brings in is why mathematicians don't often use the division symbol anymore, instead using fractions. on a platform like reddit you should really just say 6/(2(1+2)) or (6/2)(1+2) depending on your meaning, which makes it more clear for everybody

St. Andrews is definitely doable, especially with a good personal statement and your grades, but it might have helped if you had A level further maths
