@JMac in my POV, the complainer came up with a rather contrived scenario to complain about my post. I was pointing out the ridiculous nature of the contrived scenario with my remarks & he misread them.
Not really. Haven't really done much physics or math aside from answering questions here. As surprising as it may seem, I don't really miss it, either...
@RyanUnger Well, I was never one of these people who only liked math or physics to the exclusion of all else. I do believe that there are many who would be miserable if they had to do my current job.
@RyanUnger "Engineering would make anyone miserable" would be a good line here, but I'm gonna go with "That's a valid feeling. Do what you want to do."
One thing that shocked me a bit was thinking of a phd as the beginning/bottom-rung/test-case of an academic career and not really the pinnacle of an education as it seems to be
@RyanUnger The game sounds ("first-person action RPG") so very much not like their kind of game that that's not the biggest thing worrying me about it!
They've been double-dipping more often with their games, so it wouldn't be too surprising to see some sort of "deluxe" version of Windwaker HD come to switch
I want to plot some vectors in 3D. I want the positions of the vectors to then change when I user a slider to adjust the parameters. I also want to be able to look at the vectors from different angles. Here's an example of what i'm thinking of
@ACuriousMind It's clear to me that $\mathfrak m_x=\{f\in C(X):f(x)=0\}$ is a maximal ideal but AM say that's because it's the kernel of the evaluation map
is there some general criterion for a kernel to be maximal?
@RyanUnger Yes, see math.stackexchange.com/q/28468/143136. The image of the evaluation map on the polynomial ring over a field is always the field, so its kernel is always maximal
@StanShunpike I don't know any javascript, and I never tried drawing stuff in Python, so I can't give recommendations for either
@santimirandarp one way of thinking about it is relative distances.
the distances between the charges relative to the distance you are observing from is tiny. Negligible even. So it looks like the charge is localised in one spot.
All that expression does is count how much charge there is in some volume
