No, you're very bad at english. Good implies competent, but not necessarily conversely. And hence (not) competent implies (not) good (just the contrapositive.
The only context in which what you've said makes sense is if you define "good" to be competent, and "bad" to be incompetent. And once you've done this, all you've revealed is your deep passion for the law of identity (that is to say, you're a simpleton).
For those playing at home, the number of atoms in the universe is about 10^80. Of course, it's pretty difficult to grasp these kind of numbers anyway, but it should give some kind of scale.
And remember, space is BIG.
Well, what I mean to say is that the "Average Temperature(tm)" or whatever they use is normally distributed (or at the least, we have (almost surely) enough samples that the Central Limit Theorem kicks in, and the difference is arbitrary).
Anyway, you calculate the probability, assuming the normal distribution, of this string of cold years. If that probability is in a certain confidence interval (5% or less), you say something is up and the Earth is getting colder.
I'm sure everything to do with global warming is really complicated, but this particular calculation is not. All I know of the subject is that the Earth is apparently getting hotter on average, and we need to investigate the cause of that. Really it comes down to: Is it caused (predominately) by humans, or not? If it is, we have to change whatever we're doing that's causing it. If it isn't, we have to investigate ways to deal with it.
Either way it'll cost money, but I guess it's like growing up and realizing you'll have to work to live.
I personally use a one blade razor (a safety razor), and find the performance well and truly above that of a Mach3.
Plus, I bought 500 blades for 100AUD, so I'm set for...a while.
"Proof" is a word which is most comfortable of all in mathematics -- and there are a limited number of problems which can be proved my a computer. They exist, to be sure, but are certainly in the minority.
Wow, I'm an idiot sorry -- yes, it's the University of Queensland in Australia.
My main question about what you said is why do you feel the physics training is necessary for mathematics? Applied mathematics, almost surely, but pure mathematics? I can't see how it's a necessity (although I will admit a lot of maths students take physics courses anyway, at least where I am).
Why is that necessarily a responsibility? The main difference, at my university at least (UQ) between a BA and a BSc (for studying mathematics) is that a BA forces you to take courses from other fields, and a BSc doesn't. The requirements for a maths major at my university is just a whole bunch of math courses. There's plenty of room for other courses if you want, but no requirement.
And that's how I want it to be.
If someone wants to study physics, that's fine. But I'm paying to study mathematics, and don't want to be forced to study physics.
Hi, I was wondering if you could answer a few questions I've got about working as a quant? I'm an undergraduate maths student (in Australia) at the moment, and I've got heaps of questions about...well, everything to do with it. If you get this and are interested, my email address is samsebay attttttt iinet dottttttt net dottttttt au (sans the superfluous ts).
Thanks (hopefully).

I see his post, and go to log in for a similar response, but you beat me to it.
The worst thing about the economy is that a layperson (or troll or moron) doesn't realise that there are, in fact, trade offs involved. Saying "Hey, we'll pay you four times as much" just doesn't work.
Well, from a technical perspective, it's not stealing because it's literally not stealing. I steal your car? You don't have it anymore. I "steal" (or rather, infringe on your copyright) your music...well, you've still got it, hey?
Infringing copyright is NOT okay, and I don't think anyone can rationalise this point of view (but hey, I could be wrong). It's just that the law's idea of what copyright infringement is, and what Slashdot's idea of it are completely different.
Stealing = Criminal court. Copyright infringement (don't call it piracy, that's a different crime...) = Civil court.
(Sorry, I don't do this often, and forgot a few questions I wanted to ask)
Do you believe your God validates you (ie. without him/her/it, there is no meaning, or everything is futile?)
What role does your God play in the universe?
Well, could you list your "requirements" please? That will make this a lot easier. I don't think there is any problem other than the (possible) fact that your needs are unfufillable.
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but...
You see, when a man loves a woman, and a woman loves a man, they may do this thing called "breeding"...
Unless...do you mean you were born for a "reason" aside from the sperm->egg thing? You need to phrase your question better, and I'm sure any resident clued-up atheists will help you with your problem.
Hello. I don't know if you have email alerts on, so I'm not sure if you'll even get this message, but I would like to ask you a few questions about studying mathetmatics (I'm a 15 year old student that's very interested in pure math). If you're willing, please contact me at pingu.design[AT]gmail.com

Didn't you do hypothesis testing in high school? If you had the data, this would be a pretty simple question to get an estimate on...

The joke is that "un-understandable" is funny. He's not being serious, obviously.

There's a difference.
"I couldn't care less" --> literal.
"I could care less" --> sarcasm, or abbreviated form of "I could care less (but I don't know how)"
We can most certinaly disprove things about God -- the combination of omnipotence and omniscience, for one.

ADA laws have got you down? And they are forcing neck-high tables in parks?
Easy as. Just find a kid, put him on top of the table, and push him off. Say goodbye to those tables, at least.
'...64 were poor and 56 average, not a single fruit or veggie were "good" or "exceptional".'
But think about it the other way! For this store, using mode, 64 were average, and 56 were good!
I don't mean to nitpick, but marijuana isn't always smoked. You can take it orally, which neglects all the smoking related effects.
