Can you grind through Math at the age of 30, while being a retard?

Well, it's not like it has to be complete math. Everyone is only as good as their level. I want to reach my full potential, doesn't matter if it's not the highest level. Question is how do I begin?

probably not
I got a bsce at 25 and it seemed like that was about the max age cap, also I am smarter than most and otherwise it would have been impossible.

Check the /sci/ wiki for some starters. Some people like Khan academy. Also checkout the series of books by Gelfand that cover elementary mathematics (Trigonometry, Geometry, Algebra).

Let's say you wanted to create a formula without using google, all by yourself that describes the grey area between those circles in terms of the three variables: the radii of the circles and distance between their centers. No googling allowed, just using pen and paper and calculator.

How hard would that be?
>>
alfa = 2*arcsin(R/d)
beta = 2*arcsin(r/d)
A_1=r*alfa - r^2*sin(alfa)/2
A_2=R*beta - R^2*sin(beta)/2

grey area = A_1 + A_2

I had the toughest time with math in high school due to some of my teachers and me being a homosexual. It's like despite other students in class they'd teach us wrong info solely because of me. Cruel huh. Half full it strengthened my passion to get back into learning the sciences of math. I've studied books on the stock market do it yourself algebra and even Sciencia! For those of you finding any subject boring look for those tiny areas where it can be the gateway to your favorite and lucrative occupation! Such as, (Man. I like writing numbers) or this paint brush feels good.

How come Bill Gates doesn't vaccinate his own children even though his thinks everyone else should be forced to take all sorts of vaccines?

>>16162161
>I believe it started with the Bill and Melinda gates foundation giving free polio (I think) vaccinations to folks in various African countries
Right. His vaxxing program was also linked to reports coming from the same countries that many villages were effectively sterile. I remember. Yet, the conspiracy scene hyperfocusing on it seems odd to me.

I remember Bill Gates pushing for the Covid vaccine back in 2020. By then, however, the guy and his PR agency couldn't possibly have not known of the controversies that his own vaccine programs years prior to that generated. The fact that this guy still turned into the face of the Covid19 pro-vaccine group really implies to me that we're being gamed. Similarly weird for the video made by a former Pfizer CEO that the covid vaccines are meant to depopulate the earth.
>>
>>16162174
Thinking of it, Bobby Kennedy visited Samoa back in 2019 and talked about the dangers of vaccines with a special emphasis on the acclaimed danger of the measles vaccine. A couple months later, the island was ravaged by a measles outbreak that killed 90 kids out of a population of 220'000 people, implying that there probably were no more than 30'000 to 40'000 kids altogether.

I don't think, that's coincidental either. It could be possible that Bobby was simply meant to discourage the population from vaccinating their kids with the clear intention of generating an age group of unvaxxed kids that could be experimented with and studied. Deliberately releasing measles, then studying the patterns of disease spread given lowered vaccination rates among a very specific year cohort would potentially allow researchers for conducting similar operations on a much larger scale. Considering that the recent surge in anti-vax rhetoric necessitates a decrease in vaccine uptake, especially among conservatives, there is no doubt in my mind that mischievous agents could use that knowledge to develop biological weapons against very specific political groups.

Those were experimental vaccines that killed thousands of people. They were given away for free because Gate's private business venture wanted free human test subjects. They got a tax deduction for giving their experimental drug away for free too.

in a real life Good Will Smith move, two high school seniors solved a mathematical puzzle that was thought to be impossible for 2,000 years. Black, Beautiful & Brilliant.

Johnson and Jackson discovered that the Pythagorean Theorem — a principle relating to the relationship between three sides of a right triangle — could be solved with trigonometry.

The theorem had been proven before in the last 2,000 years, but never with the use of trigonometry, until the students showed that this was a possibility.

Their appearance on "60 Minutes" this weekend isn't the first time that Johnson and Jackson's hard work has been showcased. The pair presented their hypothesis at the American Mathematical Society last spring.

“For two months we worked together nonstop — during school, after school, at home, at lunch,” Johnson told the Times-Picayune last year. “We had lots of Zoom meetings. Actually, during Mardi Gras break we were still working by Zoom.”

When CBS correspondent Bill Whitaker asked Jackson and Johnson if they were math geniuses in the episode's trailer, both shook their heads.

"Not at all," Jackson denied.

What changes should be made to the peer review process so that the "peers" can't just rubber stamp the papers and let trash like this get published?
pic related: "the science" doesn't even try anymore, just copy paste the numbers lol.
this kind of low IQ frauds shouldn't even passed the paper writing because it's so apparent. the authors should've realized this kind of fraud is retarded but somehow it made it all the way through peer review.

>1. Make peer review mandatory for participation in conferences or submitting articles of your own.
this is already mandatory in many conferences, for example in CS, but it wouldn't do much because the reviewers and the submitters are in the same community as each other and probably want to cover for their own field.
>2. Offer support for publications that test and verify the results of others. Right now there's very little impetus for people to try and reproduce the work of others, since such replication isn't likely to lead to publication. Most fields could benefit from a "Journal of Replicative Studies" or something to that effect.
this is quite costly and ineffective, unless a large portions of researchers do replication study, I see this going nowhere. also, people who do replication studies are usually younger researchers who are afraid of ousting more senior researchers will hinder their career.
I suggest that each published article should have a replication counter that is big and at the front page of the paper website. papers that has not been replicated by independent should have a big red disclaimer that it hasn't been replicated anywhere.
maybe that will nudge the population toward not trusting those research at face value (which they should always do, that's the spirit of science) because IMO probably more than half of current research results are unreliable.

>>16162801
Only a third of excess deaths since the start of the pandemic were "with covid", a very loose attribution given to deaths that weren't necessarily caused by covid but was coincidental with covid. The other two thirds of excess deaths are a complete mystery but one thing is for sure, whatever killed tens of millions, it wasn't the vaccine.
Scammed indeed.

citation count is a meaningless metrics. there are many work that has thousands of citation count but are bullshit.
one of my work got like >50 citations count and my afterthought about it is the method sucked ass and probably I got the result because some randomness instead of the method did anything meaningful.
it's just the herd effect anon, 95% of the time I cite something not because it's right or I care about it's being right, I just need some background and justification for my algorithm.
