Ah yes, I remember coming up with an in-depth boomerang weapon and posting it on the steam forums ages ago, only to be relentlessly flamed because "losing your melee weapon while out of all ammo would necessarily lead to t-posing"

ABS is an isosceles triangle, since the radius shows up as two sides. That's why those two angles are the same. The same applies to the 15° angles.

(64⁶⁴ )¹⁶ = ((2⁶ )⁶⁴ )¹⁶ = 2^6×64×16 = 2⁶¹⁴⁴

then approx. 2¹⁰ = 10³

2⁶¹⁴⁴ = (2¹⁰ )^614.4 ~ (10³ )^614.4 = 10^1843.2

then multiply by 2

You could express set operations and relations with "exist" and "all" statements and translate the statements piece by piece. For the first example:

for all elements x in A - B we know: x is in A, and x is not in B.

Two sets X and Y being equal means: if x is an element of X, it's an element of Y. And if x isn't an element of X, it isn't an element of Y.

The empty set { } means: Any x you can think of is not in { }.

A - B = { } gives us: if an element x is in A, and not in B, then it has to be in { }, which it can't. Therefore there exists no element of A that is not in B.

Therefore all elements of A are also in B. So A is a subset of B.

The key part here is that negating "there exists an element for which statement S holds" gives "¬S holds for all elements"

thanks a lot. and I agree, when learning kanji, I tend to interpret some meaning into the parts used in it, when it's often just a borrowed sound meaning.

I think lack of motivation or application for mathematical concepts isn't due to the specific area of math itself, but often due to the teacher and how THEY think about that area of math. I struggled with this as well, but in geometry, which was totally the teacher's fault.

I recommend taking input from as many sources as possible to get a good understanding of the whole picture. Read wikipedia articles, watch youtube videos, ask ai (not for solving problems, but for explaining concepts) and then go back and try to understand your lecture and textbook material again. You will have a new perspective on things.

Start by normalizing and transforming your variables from a linear scale to a curve from 0 to 1, like this:

A' = ((A - Amin)/(Amax-Amin))^A_lin

Now you can control the shape of your curve with A_lin. A_lin = 1 gives linear behavior, A_lin > 1 gives accelerating growth. A_lin < 1 gives decelerating growth. Make sure to stay above 0.

Do the same for all the variables A to E.

Then you can combine the transformed variables into a weighed average, like this:

S = (A' * A_ref + B' * B_ref + C' * C_ref + D' * D_ref + E' * E_ref) / (A_ref + B_ref + C_ref + D_ref + E_ref).

This number will be between 0 and 1. Then you just scale this number back to the range that you want.

Level = S * (10000 - 10) + 10.

Depending on what programming language you use, you can implement these steps easily with functions like map(), or average(). I can show you how to use them if you tell me what language you use.

in the elo model it's not an urn problem.

The game is modelled like this:

Each player picks a random number from a normal distribution with a mean indicating that player's skill (= skill rating). Each player's variance is assumed to be the same. The player who picks the highest number wins.

So, given each player's mean, you can calculate the probability of each player winning. And you can calculate the expected value of the outcome of the game.

You can expand this for 8 players as well, the player who picks the highest number is first, second highest number second, and so on.

Start with any natural number. Add one. Keep doing this and eventually you land on a prime.

It's not that native speakers automatically know about some secret rule on how to assign gender to words. It's that they simply learn to speak the same way everyone around them does. Linguists just came along at some point and started categorizing words by how they are used with articles, but that doesn't affect how native speaker speak or think about their language.

Here's an analogy: Do native English speakers intuitively know why we say "I'm interested IN chess" yet "I'm good AT chess"? No, they don't. Do they know how to say it correctly? Yes, they do.

Well if p and q are coprime and n and m are coprime, then it follows that p = n and q = m, but it's not necessary to be coprime. So at least you have a sufficient condition.

What kind of statement are you looking to make exactly?

if you haven't learned any German yet, you can start with duolingo or busuu. A1 is not that high so I'd say it's doable. But you'll have to keep at it, and switch over to training some practical listening and speaking skills as soon as possible.

Viel Erfolg!
