As an applied mathematician, I'd say this depends on the field. Pure maths more often than not comes with assumptions that make the theory more elegant, but by doing so they also drastically limit its application to real life scenarios.

Handy, although gotta say I hate to be that person but GPT 4 is light years better than this tool. You can provide it with a picture of an equation you'd like to obtain as LaTeX commands and it'll do its job. Done it 30+ times so far and it's been 100% accurate.
Re:Spain lives in flats: why we have built our cities vertically on Wednesday November 08, 2023 @10:48AM (#38192053)
That's what surprised me too. I think it might be because for every big, dense Dutch city there are n farmhouses in Friesland, Groningen, etc. Also I'm not sure whether they categorise semidetached houses as houses or flats, given how common they are in the Netherlands the 21% would be no surprise if they're considered houses.

OP I'm really sorry this happened to you, I think you just got extremely unlucky. This entire series of events sort of reminds me of the Swiss cheese model (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_cheese_model). Glad to hear you're doing better now, did you end up contacting your university in order to explain how their policy (among other things) affected you? Your insight might help out the next person who gets extremely unlucky.

This is absolutely false in lots of scenarios, one of them being when you're dealing with a heterogenous population, which seems to be the case here.
Re:Amsterdam to use “noise cameras” against too loud cars on Saturday August 19, 2023 @08:33AM (#37188106)
I live in Amsterdam and beg to differ. You are probably only referring to Jordaan, indeed it's pretty quiet for a simple reason: most streets aren't accessible by car (or if they are, they are a huge pain to drive around on). Have you been to de Pijp? Or the Oud Zuid? They're much more accessible by car and they're also incredibly noisy. I have lived in all 3 and can tell you that the difference is noticeable to say the least.
Same here, I got variations of the same exercise. Haven't lifted for nearly as long as you have, but in my limited experience the order I got was also sub optimal: started with ab exercises, ended with big compound lifts. It would be a good idea to order the exercises based on the amount/size/etc. of the muscle groups they use.
