Hey everyone, i need some help. Im suppose to come up with a paper. This is what the instructions are: Remember that you need one mathematical topic and one topic that involves the wider society. Usually they will be from the same time period and culture, but not always. There should be some connection between the two topics. For instance, you might like to research a mathematician and an artist who have no direct connection but are both representative of the intellectual spirit of a particular historical age.
You want something that allows you to make some connections of your own. This could involve an ancient or modern development in algebra. The critical thinking would come in connecting it to the wider society. How was it used in a way that affected the world outside mathematics? How did it come to be represented in schools/universities? Algebra is a rich field, so I am sure you can refine this to a suitably limited topic.
More info: you could look at the move from rhetorical algebra to symbolic algebra and highlight one application that the change facilitated. Likewise, you could look at the development of abstract algebras (e.g. Lie algebras) and one application that has been facilitated. For instance, the Lie algebras are widely used in physics.
I also had to pick a theme which was Algebra.
Could someone help me on this? Any help would be appreciated. i just need some ideas thats all. i just need some topic ideas, because i cant think of anything.
pythagoras but may be overdon
laplace as in the laplace transform
George Boole as in bool true false boolean algebra very used in computers
Rafael Bombelli if you wanna be l33t and write about imaginary numbers those are great think squareroot(-1)
there is also Ada the daughter of lord byron
Why not L'Hopital?

Hello,
i am an engineering student and would like your ideas for my thesis. I am mechanical student and we are a group of 3.
the suggested topics are not quite compelling , so i am looking somthing which is good for 3 students. It doenst have to me very complex and with little to no coding involved. Can include manufacturing Ideas.
pls share.
thanks

well, for starters, i would say you need to focus on your grammar. punctuation and a clear understanding of how to properly communicate is huge in the engineering world. when you are sending emails to clients, responding to a customer in a meeting, or writing/reviewing a contract, how are you supposed to be efficient? get all the "pls" and improper **** out of your vocabulary. **** school, think about how you look from an employer's perspective. and i swear on purpose to get my point across.
a wise english teacher once told me, "you can use improper grammar, as long as you do it on purpose and know why you are doing it."
this statement is utterly true, with the exception to engineers.
that being said, you say you are studying the mechanical "discipline" of the engineering world...
you should talk about why you chose this particular profession. what is the passion that drives you? is it money? is it job security? - both will come with the job... but what drives you? think about this idea on a broad perspective. what objects do you see around you, at this very second, that did NOT involve the expertise of an engineer? very few. so let me ask you this: what is it about YOU that you feel drives you to contribute to modern society by being an expert at shaping the world we are all going to live in? for me, it is simply a curiosity of how things work, how they function, what physics are involved in creating, in analyzing the objects we all interact with daily that shape, and optimize our way of living? - automobiles, computers, a thing layer of plastic that protects the glass screen of my cell phone that is called "scratch resistant"...
think of engineering and how it changes our world, apply it to how you see it, and why you are drawn to it... maybe focus your thesis around that thought.
hope that was helpful.
Hi so among CSC 101, Chem 101, Calc 2, and Acting 2, I'm contemplating registering for a course on Contemporary Asian Studies :/ I have absolutely no asian background but the professor assigned to the course has pretty good ratings.
The course description is as follows:
"The cultural tradition of Asia in general and of China and Japan in particular. The peoples and their psychological, educational, social, artistic, political and economic behavior."
Does anyone know what the course might involve (the description is too broad imo). Even better, has anyone taken the course, or something similar to it, or have any knowledge on the matter...
Eh, any information would be really helpful lol
Thanks
Do you like history class?
Haven't taken it since I was 12 but it was okay. I kind of liked learning about the Revolutionary War :} Still remember the day the teacher read the section on Guerrila Warfare.
I guess that's how things will be in that class. Obviously, you will be studying Asian culture, their political system, etc.
Do you need this class or you just want to try it?
Just need to drop a course and I don't know whether to drop this or Art 101 (hate drawing but apparently the course doesn't involve any of that).
I was kind of looking for insight into what contemporary asia is like I guess. Rich culture or ..boring to learn about. I really don't like politics or anything to do with government issues, but Asia is known for its rich history..so..
What is CSC 101 about?

Computer Science 101
Intensive introduction to computing, tailored to the needs of those majoring in computer science and computer engineering. Introduction to programming in a modern object-oriented programming language such as C++, with particular emphasis on the logical evolution of working programs from specifications.
Definitely not dropping this one XD
Hi
I have been thinking about how strong a online development team could be therefore this post.
I think it could be a great way to comporate around the world, with different time consuming and knowledge sparepartners.
Developers with
Android
Raspberry
Arduino
IOT
Building knowledge from a project to prototype and finish product
Testing
MCU
PCB
Contacts for manafacturing
I think you know what I am try to say.
I think a networkgroup of 3-6 persons from different countries and ages.
The reason for this are
I know if 1 person should do all the work it would take long time for develop and set in production. This would be a long time consuming work. Before a person get an idea become a true product.
About me
I am a Danish mid-age male. I have a lot of ideas in tecnologies of different kinds.
Access to
3D print
cnc
Laser cutter
and more
A generel WWW knowledge and development in different Environments.
If you thinks this sound interesting - please leave a reply.
So we can make an online working networkgroup and discuss the contents and make a brainstorm together.
If you ever need the audio assets, - I'm at you service
Greetings, all.
I'm a 68 year old woman who is about to become a widow, after 46 years of marriage, which is probably way more than you want to know.
The primary reason I'm here is that I'm trying to root my Nook Color, and having problems finding the necessary software; it seems to have disappeared from the internet. Yes, I know my Nook Color is outdated, and I don't much care; it still has the potential to be a functional e-reader, except that B&N forced an unnecessary software update on it and now it refuses to boot. I'm hoping that if I can root it I'll still be able to use it. If that doesn't work I'll attempt to get B&N to replace it with a newer Nook that will actually work, but I doubt that would be successful.
I used to be an editor at MicroCornucopia magazine; I play classical guitar; and I'm a filker (https://wiki2.org/en/Filk_music). I'm also a longstanding member of 6502 Group, which is basically a social club for computer geeks, located in the Denver, Colorado area.

More than a few of our moderators are retirement age, like @Oswald Boelcke , @Badger50 just to name a couple.
I'm a little curious: Who are considered the "cool kids" in those circles? The knitters and Bingo players, or the computer nerds?
@MargretMinette A very warm welcome to XDA. My greetings to the Eastern roots of the Rocky Mountains are coming from Germany. I hope you'll always get the support and assistance you require. And I hope, the forum, to which @V0latyle pointed you, is a good start.
And yeah, I can proudly admit I'm become 66 years yound in May...
In case of any question or if assistance is required please do not hesitate to contact the moderators team.
Regards
Oswald Boelcke
In filk circles the "cool kids" are the ones who write their own songs. Slightly less cool, but still very cool, are the ones who write good parodies of other people's songs. But in reality, basically we all like one another and the first rule of filking is never to criticize anyone else's performance. As for computer nerds, anything to do with science or technology falls squarely into the realm of filk. As for knitting, the filkers seem to like the temari balls I embroider (do a Google search on "temari balls" for lots of pretty pictures), and one of our coolest members also uses a drop spindle to create yarn from cat fur. Another of our coolest members is almost always making something or other from beads while listening to other performers. We're an eclectic bunch.
In 6502 Group the "cool kids" (and at this point we're none of us kids any longer) are the ones who come up with fun projects using inexpensive parts, or write new programming languages - I'm not very cool because my preference is coding in Pascal. On the other hand, I'm the one who finds the YouTube videos about squirrel mazes and such, which everyone enjoys, so I hold my own.
In both groups, we're all there by choice, and we all like and respect one another. We're also all old enough to know the value of diversity, in talents and skills as in everything else.

To the people who have been here all along:
I grew up in the 80s immersed in technology; having intrinsic skill with computers (from building PCs to application and web development), I naturally had a successful career in IT. (My passion has always been live, data-driven apps, and I have broad experience with SQL in the back and ASP.NET/JS/etc. in the front.) Unfortunately, I was unwell, self-destructed (got caught up in what amounted to an elaborate theft scheme), and went to prison.
Now that I'm releasing, I'm trying to find educational resources that will catch me up to speed in the industry so that I can restart a career in development for mobile devices. But web searches return what appears to me mostly junk. I believe that you folks will be able to point me in the right direction.
As a lifelong coder, I don't need a basic introductory class; that being said, my familiarity with specific environments only goes so far. Which programming languages do I need to learn, and can anyone refer me to particular resources that would best take advantage of my pre-existing abilities so that I can develop apps for Android, iOS, and alternatives?
Perhaps more importantly, I obviously need a leg up in AI and metaverse technologies. Especially because these are evolving fields, I'm not sure whether I need instruction in a particular application so much as a general tour -- but looking for something like that runs the risk of returning terrible wastes of time for someone in my position. I'm thinking I need a little of both, but choosing the platforms in which to invest my attention is going to require more than a web search.
Ideally, in addition to public-domain type materials, I'd like to gather a short list of remote-learning programs, possibly instructor-led and therefore having a structured schedule, but whatever works. I care less about obtaining a valued certificate than I do about getting the right kind of training for me so that I can actually pick up the knowledge necessary to inform my next steps.
Any pointers would be immeasurably appreciated! Thank you for reading.
You will need Java - Kotlin for Android , Objective C for iOS. And good understanding of how modern IDEs and software work.
https://www.freecodecamp.org/ is the best resource you can have for understanding current software scenarios.
AI is old. We always had AI
Metaverse is old. We always had Metaverse.
Modern tech companies are also the world's biggest marketing companies. Both fields are hyped by these companies.
They are just fancy names for Maths and Forum Avatars.
