My final project in my Ornithology class is to do a presentation on a BIPOC who has somehow contributed to the field. What the fuck is this? I just wanted to learn about birds.

other than transformation matrix how can i transform a 3d vector world space to 2d vector screen space or their magnitudes?

hopefully the last;still very confused

so this is more of drawing question but also about numbers and values and shapes which i figured is mathemathics... basically i have this issue where i can probably draw an object from a reference once but then when another angle is asked i cant anymore so naturally as an animator i thought expanding my options but using photos would produce infinite resources while no models are as good as life or even a finished comic drawing as some styling is made but generally the 3d forms... something about, generating correct lineart from a volume's information: vertice, edge, size, length and so on into a working, correct drawing, cartoon of sorts. Thus, line AB, CD, EF, ZN,XY will places and points correctly into an image of a bird, for example.

any sort/what are ALL of the solution since science is concerned with variety of things from anatomy to geometry? one thing i m looking for in specific would be, placing out individual lines that represents the form correctly using its position, length, and direction/angle and how the lines then forms 3d volumes on 2d paper? also maybe other than algebra and matrix.

How often are math skills used in engineering positions

Is anyone here a civil engineer/ing student? I’m just in calculus 2 so I have yet to take the main courses
Do you use math often in your jobs if you have graduated? I enjoy integration honestly and I’ve never liked math that much before

Studies on the (negative) effects of masks?

No.14184379 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Seems weird that nobody is willing to admit anymore that wearing masks for several hours a day for several years straight may have any harmful side effects, whether physiological or psychological. Instead of arguing for them from a cost/benefit perspective, people instead seem to prefer to argue that there are literally no drawbacks ("it's just a piece of cloth") and even if benefits are uncertain we should just do it anyways. Google seems to have scrubbed pre-2020 information on their use as an intervention. There must be old studies on masks impeding communication, or studies showing that improper use (like how everyone wears the same dirty mask all day) results in increased bacterial infections in respiratory tract, sinuses, eyes. What is this faggotry?

I would like to make an infographic comparing inequality in the Soviet union versus modern day America.
According to google the Soviet union had a Gini coefficient of roughly .26 the united states roughly .48
How do I turn these into percentages?

Science and math are at an impasse. Math says .999... = 1. Physics says you cannot travel the speed of light, but you can approach the speed of light incrementally, thus you can travel at .999...c. This must be false though, because math says that is 1c. How will this be reconciled? Is physics wrong or are the math axioms on a shaky foundation?

Other day I saw a post telling that the brain peaks at 21-25 and then it starts getting harder to learn new things because of plasticity.

Cant tell about other people but in my case it is definitively easier to learn at 28 than it was at 23 or even at 18.
I can focus 10x times better, have better motivation, can see the big picture easier, can plan how to approach a topic better and also can visualize/model anything in my head with ease.
At least at 28 I cannot thing or see any downside in my capacity to learn new things.
Maybe college helped. Today I have a basis for many topics and even when present to something totally new, at least I can make comparisons and find similarities with topics from my college days.

I dont know. People that complain about this age difficult probably are just lazy and unfocused. Also maybe not studying hard in your youth can increase the difficult to learn in the future because you wont have a basis.
