@user21820 Hello! Are you a regular here on this chat? I used to be.

user21820

So that you can go through the reals one by one and add it if it's Q-independent from the previously added ones.

@amWhy: No actually I've rarely come here. =)

I was actually wondering whether or not to ask people here for help with our usual 'chores'. =D

In the end, I saw some interesting conversations here and...

Hi there ,I am interested in competitive programming,and it involves a lot of mathematics although I am good at maths yet sometimes questions are a bit high than I am capable of doing.Any general advice to me .Thanks

godskook

@hemant_ have you tried the Euler problems? I enjoyed those.

@user21820 One place where such "chores" are handled nicely is at the C.R.U.D.E. chatroom. Anyway, there is a lot happening here; I could probably spend all my free time in various chat rooms, even on non.mse. chats!

hemant _

@godskook Yeah but I am a begineer when I start to attempt I possibly can't after 1 or 2 :D

@hemant_ projecteuler.net/problem=1 You have a problem with #1?

hemant _

@godskook Yes, some are simple but How to master it

godskook

@hemant_ do it?

@hemant_ that's the best way.

How many have you done?

amWhy

@skullpatrol You 'round these parts?

hemant _

@godskook I started a month ago and tried around 10 to 15 and then I quit as their level reached high

amWhy

@anon Is that still "you" (anon) that I know from way back when?

godskook

Jul 25, 2017 15:28

@hemant_ Ok. My advice would be to not quit. If you can do the first 10, you can do at least ~30 with some effort.

user21820

@amWhy I've tried there quite a few times in the past. It never worked.

hemant _

@godskook thanks for motivating me again :)

amWhy

@user21820 Yeah... sort of for me too. But I think it simply needs some new "faces" (users) joining in regularly.

"Just do it" is the most important thing you could possibly learn. So just go do it :P

hemant _

@godskook Yeah ! Thanks.

Why I am more mathematician but not physicists: I rely on the models too much on telling me what the physics are

in The h Bar, 7 mins ago, by Secret

@EmilioPisanty @ACuriousMind ...actually, I think I had all my physics thinking backwards. In general, I have this fixated conception that you can not only use experiments to tell you what model to construct, but you also can start with you model and figuring out what physics it corresponds to by performing known checks, providing the maths obey some known properties that the physical things are supposed to obey

in The h Bar, 5 mins ago, by Secret

Or in short, I thought the model contains all the information that can recover the physics of what each physical based mathematical object (e.g. self adjoint operators) will mean

user21820

@amWhy So who's in? Although I like it better the way we've been doing. It's more fun. =)

Secret

I noticed recently there are many non regulars in this chat in the past 3 weeks. I wonder if that is a sign of something big happening

thought regardless, I interact wit anyone in exactly the same manner, thus it should not be a problem

amWhy

@user21820 I think we've been doing great, myself. I left a comment at the CRUDE, just noting that it seems only two users that maintain it, rather conservatively.

@Secret I used to be a very regular user in this chat. So you can consider me an "alum". I started exploring other sites at a point when the main chat (this chat), mostly derailed from the basis of math; It is absolutely good to have a mix of math and socializing. But when chat users start attacking each other, etc., (as happened when I left), in can get ugly.

Secret

I see, in that case, based on what the chat is like in the past 5 months, I think you will quite enjoy the return. Maths is still the focus of this chat, but ocassionally, other socialising topics and other sciences such as chemistry and physics are common, especially one of the current regulars is a physicist, I am a chemistry PhD, some people sometimes ask chemsitry here and we also have some philosophers

Maths topic itself is not as focused on topology, and more balanced between a range of things

Currently, there is quite a lot of number theory as couple of users found interesting number theoric stuff and posted some MSE about them, they can be quite algebraic

Ted and tobias are stil around and tend to appear during the peak hours, balarka and topology people also appear regularly. The number theory people can appear throughout the day in more or less constant manner

Salut Ted

Ted Shifrin

Salut @Astyx

Astyx

Ça va ?

Ted Shifrin

Oui, ça va bien, merci, et toi?

Astyx

Ça va ça va

Ted Shifrin

@amWhy: anon has at least 3 or 4 names (not that I can remember them all) ... most often he is here now as ArcticTern.

Plus de nouvelles, Astyx?

Astyx

Jul 25, 2017 16:02

Pas avant demain visiblement

L'ENS n'a pas répondu à mon mail

Ted Shifrin

ah ... il te fallait leur écrire un mail?

Astyx

Pour vérifier une note oui ... enfin ça ne saurait tarder !

Ted Shifrin

ah, je me demande s'ils vont te répondre ...

Astyx

Je pense que si, je les ai appelé aussi et ils m'ont dit qu'ils le feront prochainement

Ted Shifrin

eh ben ...

Astyx

Jul 25, 2017 16:04

Enfin cela dit, je suis étonné que ça ne soit pas déjà fait

Ted Shifrin

Je suis sûr qu'ils sont tous bien occupés.

user21820

@amWhy The problem is that the people who are actually active in the 'chores' are not frequently there and even when they are they don't seem to wish to act on the posts mentioned there.

SteamyRoot

@Astyx It's summer holidays in France, no? Getting anything done then takes a while.

Astyx

Yeah, but I'm still waiting for results, they should not be in holidays

Ted Shifrin

LOL, almost August!

The concours probably require a lot of paperwork

amWhy

@user21820 But new faces can change things: We can suggest closures and deletions, why we vote as such..... We can also counter faulty requests for reopening/ undeleting, talk it out, etc. The dynamics there will change with more participation there. I'm just suggesting that it is a valid location to include when we think posts should be closed, deleted, discuss duplicates, and keep attuned what reasons others may have for actions they encourage.

Astyx

I think each year they work during the whole summer (there will still be some results on the 9th of september)

SteamyRoot

Most likely they're really understaffed.

Astyx

Probably ... I can't do anything but sit and wait anyway

Ted Shifrin

au contraire ...

Astyx

Jul 25, 2017 16:13

I can stand up and wait

Ted Shifrin

rolls 5 eyes

Astyx

But that's tiring

Ted Shifrin

hi Martin

Martin Sleziak

hi all

amWhy

@TedShifrin Rolls 13 eyes!

Ted Shifrin

Jul 25, 2017 16:14

That's getting up there in the eyeroll count ... But Balarka and DogAteMy have kept track of my maximum number of eyes.
