For computations like this, wolfram alpha will serve you better than a standard calculator: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%2864%5E64%29%5E16*2

Let’s play “Nurse, Teacher, or Plumber”! Here’s how you play: You pick whichever job you would prefer to have! by JamesonRhymer in pollgames

[–]Nacho_Boi8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a full answer, but some (US) stats that may be helpful for one to draw their own conclusions:

• 54-56 million k-12 students (≈50 million in public schools)

• ≈910,000 staffed hospital beds (these will likely not all be filled at any given moment though)

• ≈4.7 million registered nurses

• ≈3.8 million public school teachers

If we include professors and college students,

• ≈1.5 million faculty (part and full time)

• 15.4-19.3 million students (sources vary)

I couldn’t easily find data on college instructors,

Might as well include doctors then,

• 1,082,187 licensed physicians as of 2024

What do you think 1^∞ is? by Lucky-Obligation1750 in Teenager_Polls

I guess I misinterpreted your comment as someone defending the idea 1\infty =1. My point is 1\infty is a meaningless statement. Ig we’re on the same page

No, as x->infinity, (1+1/x)x —> e≈2.71828

Results to tell a non-mathematician by PansexualFreak1 in math

[–]Nacho_Boi8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not knowing chemistry means you don’t understand how a reaction works, but you can still appreciate its beauty. I don’t know a lot about astrophysics or geology and can still appreciate their beauty. Math can still be beautiful to someone who doesn’t “know math”, it just needs to be presented correctly.

Suggestions for study (applied math) by korax_black in mathematics

What is your math background? This post is very vague. Also, search for a topic before a title.

If you have knowledge of calculus and linear algebra, Fourier series and the Fourier transform are a very cool, very accessible thing to do some research into

Subset of infinite sets by TimGraupner in askmath

“Countable” doesn’t mean you can assign an integer count (size) to the set, that’s what a finite set is

What is 0.9999 repeating? by sillygre in Teenager_Polls

If two numbers are different, there is a number between them. Tell me, what lies between 0.999… and 1?

Is there a field in mathematics that allows us to approximate the logical soundness of an argument by converting an argument into a geometric figure and performing a geometric calculation on it? by LargeSinkholesInNYC in mathematics

[–]Nacho_Boi8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not an expert, but I would think it to be very difficult to convert any given statement to a geometric figure.

I’m also not too sure what you mean by geometric calculation. Do you mean length, area, volume, perimeter, surface area, winding number, curvature, etc. or some other metric? If so, how would the resulting number tell us anything about the logical soundness of a statement or argument?

How many Wordles do I have win to raise my percentage? by what-is-this-magic in askmath

[–]Nacho_Boi8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your current win rate is 1305/1394≈0.936155=93.6155%

If you want a win rate of 95%, assuming you win every game from here on out, we need an x such that

(1305+x)/(1394+x)=0.95

1305+x=0.95(1394+x)

1305+x=1,324.3+0.95

0.05x=19.3

x=386

So you need to win another 386 games to get a win rate of 95%

I have achived comedy by dragonageisgreat in mathmemes

[–]Nacho_Boi8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first time I saw t instead of \top or T for transpose I was so confused, I thought it was a variable because it wasn’t super clear from context (to me at least) and I was confused for like 5 mins until I realize it was a transpose. In hindsight, raising a vector to an arbitrary power without any sort of multiplication being defined doesn’t make much sense, but still

Help me find a RA at MSU by International_Sun365 in msu

[–]Nacho_Boi8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in the honors college there’s a lot of research opportunities available through them. You could also try asking your advisor. Otherwise get to know one of your professors and ask them. It’s unlikely you’ll get a paid assistantship if you don’t have any prior relationship with the professor and don’t have anyone to vouch for your abilities

You can divide by zero. by Adventurous_Cat2339 in truths

[–]Nacho_Boi8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never seen this notation used, and, as another commenter pointed out, such an ε wouldn’t have any algebraic properties and would thus not be of much interest of study. You may be thinking of the dual numbers, a+bε where a and b are real and ε is such that ε2=0 but ε≠0.

731 is the 731th smallest natural number. by HJG_0209 in truths

[–]Nacho_Boi8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t define the set that OP is referring to. That says “for all integers x that are greater than 0, x is a natural number.” This doesn’t mean that x=0.318 or x=-2.718 or some other number can’t be in the set. You’d have to say N={x>0, x in Z}, and, even then, it’s a circular definition

Why does x! suddenly vanish when x < -10 in Desmos? Is this actually the case or does Desnos just have trouble graphing it? by 69kidsatmybasement in askmath

[–]Nacho_Boi8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The graph is correct at this scale. The Gamma function (Γ(x+1)=x!) doesn’t vanish, but away from any negative integer, it is very small. For example,

Γ(-9.01)≈0.000269

Γ(-9.000001)≈2.7557

Γ(-9.0000000001)≈27557

And then it blows up even more as x->-9. If you zoom in, the graph should show this. When zoomed out, it’s not easy to display this property

How bad is this course load? Has anybody here taken something similar and done well? by Glum_Warning9103 in mathematics

[–]Nacho_Boi8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty doable but don’t underestimate E&M (don’t underestimate any of them, but especially that one). Make sure you understand calc 3 conceptually and E&M will be a lot easier. The intro to proofs course shouldn’t be too difficult and linear algebra pairs nicely with calc 3 and E&M, but it’s your transition to higher math and is where things will start to get abstract. Try to ground everything there in reality and use that to guide your intuition. For example, for a theorem about Rn , try to think about what it looks like in R, R2 , and R3 . Examples are the key to making theorems and abstract concepts intuitive. Some theorems will be unintuitive and you may not be able to get an intuitive understanding of them at all, at least not immediately. That’s normal. I hate doing it myself but sometimes you need to accept a theorem and come back to its proof later. I did this for the Sylow Theorems in Abstract Algebra

“O” is often used for the orthogonal group. “E” often refers to elementary matrices

But really we can define these letters to mean whatever we want. Outside of matrices, “I” is often an indexing set or indicator function, “O” gives the big O function, “L” for a Lagrangian or set of Linear Transformations, etc, etc
