i'm really jealous of heri didn't have reading tree books growing up

I, for one, have a very high IQ

Why do people post these shitty article threads?I'm Krallum and I approved this message.
4/18/2012 12:11:59 PM
159? that's nothing. 185 right here. an online quiz told me so.
4/18/2012 12:13:38 PM
i suspect when someone is that smart, their IQ is hard to measure definitively. such a small pool of comparatively smart people.

The scores of iq tests administered to children under 7 aren't correlated as closely to adult IQ as those administered in the tween years... no reason to go around comparing a 4 year old to Albert Einstein since we don't know what he would have scored on the same test at the same age.

There is an equation for standard learning progression.If you change the variable of rate she's learning, you can extrapolate from that to a certain degree of guarantee that she'll be as smart as Einstein.If a race car driver were to compete for the world record, you'd know by the first lap whether they are likely to succeed or not through extrapolation.
4/18/2012 12:43:00 PM
yes its just like my friend who ran in the boston marathonher splits were about 7:30/mi halfwayand when she finished it was 8:15/miextrapolation
4/18/2012 12:50:21 PM
"Not correlated as closely to" means exactly that. The extrapolation is more likely to be inaccurate.
4/18/2012 1:00:10 PM
shes already in mensa huh? I guess in a few years she'll post on message board begging people to be a fake date for them at their high school prom to impress the people she "doesn't care about"
4/18/2012 1:30:18 PM
jesus man, that's harsh.also, does england do prom?
4/18/2012 1:41:37 PM
That should be only 1 out of 24000... cool but idk if newsworthy.Mathematica code for the lazy:1/(1 - CDF[NormalDistribution[100, 15], 159.])
4/18/2012 1:43:27 PM
what kind of a 7 year old can read through a set of 30 books in an hour?
4/18/2012 1:44:43 PM
They have prom, but its a little different. Regardless, this girl won't have a date.
4/18/2012 1:44:47 PM
Extrapolating outside data range? That's a no no...
4/18/2012 1:52:27 PM
yeah it's not like people this smart are a dime a dozen
4/18/2012 1:59:27 PM
I bet I could kick her ass.

Teenage genius Shouryya Ray solves two fundamental particle dynamics theoriesShouryya Ray, a 16 year old from Dresden, Germany has solved two fundamental particle dynamics theories that have baffled physicists and mathematicians for over 350 years. Ray, who was born in India and moved to Germany when he was 12 claims “schoolboy naivety” led him to solve the puzzle. “I didn’t believe there couldn’t be a solution,” said Ray.Many professors, mathematicians and physicists had previously stated the problems Shouryya Ray solved were “uncrackable.” In fact, only partial solutions had been discovered up to this point with the help of a supercomputer.The solution devised by Shouryya Ray makes it possible to calculate the path of a projectile in Earths gravity while factoring in air resistance. Shouryya’s work could lead to greater precision in fields such as ballistics.According to the Die Welt newspaper, Ray has been fascinated with math since a very early age. In fact, his father (an engineer) began giving the young boy complex arithmetic problems to solve when he was only six years old.In conclusion, although Shouryya Ray solved two extremely complex mathematical riddles that have baffled mathematicians for over 350 years, the young prodigy claims he is not a genius, and says he isn’t very good at sports either. Well, either way, we here at The Hals report salute you Shouryya Ray!http://www.thehalsreport.com/2012/05/16-year-old-boy-solves-350-year-old-mathematical-theory-posed-by-isaac-newton/

Lies. No one uses the term "schoolboy naivety."

It sounds like a problem that had been solved in the '70s, but not with a computationally efficient solution, so in practice most people just numerically solved the differential equation when they needed to use it: http://math.stackexchange.com/a/150945The specific differential equation is (x''(t)^2+(y''(t)+g)^2)^(1/2)=c*(x'(t)^2+y'(t)^2) with the constraint that (x''(t),y''(t)+g) and (x'(t),y'(t)) have opposite directions, where x(t) and y(t) are the positions of a particle at time t, g is the magnitude of gravitational acceleration, and c is a drag coefficient.It turns out that an ingenious trick to find an integrating factor was all that was needed to reduce the order of the equation by one, which is all that Ray did in his solution: https://www.jugend-forscht.de/images/1MAT_67_download.jpg(He used alpha as the drag coefficient, u(t)=x'(t), and v=y'(t).)There is suspicion that G. W. Parker of NCSU had already published a solution in the American Journal of Physics in 1977: http://physics.stackexchange.com/a/29121This article, from a journal for physics teachers, actually solves the equation for x(t) and y(t) in terms of a rather difficult integral, as opposed to Ray's solution, which found an implicit solution for reduction of order in the form of a single equation relating x'(t) and y'(t): http://www.df.uba.ar/users/sgil/physics_paper_doc/papers_phys/mechan/air0.pdfIf it's hard to get the paper from that link, due to overwhelming demand, try this archive.org link: [link]http://web.archive.org/web/20070610103030/http://www.df.uba.ar/users/sgil/physics_paper_doc/papers_phys/mechan/air0.pdf[/link]Ray also, as the second StackExchange link shows, found more explicit solutions in terms of a particle's initial speed and elevation angle, in which x'(t) and y'(t) are the quotients of two Taylor series: http://i47.tinypic.com/2v0oco8.jpgOf course, if the derivatives of the solutions are the quotients of infinite series, it's likely not more efficient to numerically evaluate the functions themselves than to numerically integrate the original equation, so this was likely of little interest.Although these solutions are "more explicit" they are not "analytical" because they rely on infinite series: http://physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=609259&page=2#post3931884This interesting Wolfram Alpha link was also posted, for u'(a)+k*u(a)*tan(a)+k*c*arccos(a)=0: http://j.mp/KuWo2D[Edited on May 30, 2012 at 5:29 AM.
