#1 I learned that owning a cat will reduce the likeliness of getting a stroke of a heart attack by a third. But I'm allergic to cats!

#2 There is no pain receptors in the brain.

Today I learned that you can very effectively use linear algebra to solve some combinatorics problems.

ShivamS · 2014-12-02 09:26:13

I learned about the collisionless Boltzmann equation and baryon asymmetry today (well, not for the first time, but more in detail).

Carrots are orange in colour because of beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is a precursor of vitamin A.

Improvements to the Dusart (2010) bounds on prime count and nth prime. I also started playing around with nth prime limits via binary search on prime count bounds, which tentatively looks like a nice improvement (indicating that the prime count bound formulas are tighter than the nth prime bound formulas).

Also, someone finished computation of Pi(10^26) via combinatorial methods.

Today I learnt about the Landaur's Principle

bobbym · 2014-12-03 03:24:55

Learned another easier way to deal with an ergodic process.

David · 2014-12-04 03:31:07

I learned how to deal with Pertussis patients.

ShivamS · 2014-12-04 07:45:00

I learned a significant amount of things about Wilson loops today.

David · 2014-12-05 01:32:05

Interesting, ShivamS. I will try a find time to read about it.

I found a way to remember pi.

bobbym · 2014-12-05 01:34:34

I just learned something new about polynomials.

anonimnystefy · 2014-12-05 13:23:51

I've learned that there is a very interesting and somewhat natural measure of graph connectedness which also has some nice algebraic properties.

Also, I'm looking to better myself in the study of non-standard analysis, so I've been learning about that a bit too.

I learned about Wilson's Prime.

Olinguito · 2014-12-12 07:25:45

I learn that it is possible to make a tetradecahedron with just regular hexagons and squares.

Today I learn that the golden ratio has the following interesting property:

I have learned that if a = b and b = c then it follows that a = c.

Agnishom · 2015-07-27 00:47:34

Oh?

I learned that I am 14

bobbym · 2015-07-27 07:00:31

I learned about a route to the haunted lake. It is almost unknown to the residents around here. All that remains is the gear and the courage to go.

Nehushtan · 2016-01-02 06:05:39

Yesterday I learned that lysosomes can digest mitochondria, ribosomes, peroxisomes, glycogen granules and other intracellular structures. I was reading about degradation of internally produced material in the section on lysosome function in the chapter on lysosomes of a book about biochemistry and structure of cell organelles. Autophagy is when this happens to an apparently healthy organelle.

I learnt the Revelation Principle

bobbym · 2016-01-17 04:05:11

I learned how to solve a new type combinatorics problem.

Newman · 2016-02-17 16:49:50

I learned that they've gone out 10^14 and haven't found integers where a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = 33

Newman · 2016-02-17 16:55:44

...and magic hexagon and unit circle. And started learning about I matrix vs 0 matrix. I actually learned (relearned) a heckload of math today. Haha! Now, I just have to practice it for 1000 hours so as not to forget.

Monox D. I-Fly · 2016-02-17 19:12:21

I learnt that the Arabic word for "rain" is "maTr", which sounds like "motor".
