Solve the inequality

Yeah, that's what we're trying to do.

Fake. All soviets did were live in huts, shoot 17th century rifles, and failed basic economics

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 25 points 4 months ago

All Soviets did was eat hot bread and lie

welcome to my hobby. collecting and saving out of print communist literature in a hopes of digitizing them and making them immortal on the internet.

I like to think that out of all the ways I could emulate Stalin, this one's the best way to honor his memory.

Do you have a rig for book digitizing? I always had an itch to build one when I was in school but I never did

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 25 points 4 months ago

No, I find books and have them sent to my crew to be digitized then archived into our internal library. I know a few other folks in my crew also do similar things with all sorts of media, ranging from old americanized soviet films on those old fashioned film reels to childrens books and magazines to old music composed by the more esoteric parts of communist history.

I think some of the most recent stuff I was a part of in NY was helping one of my crew's digitizing tech specialists in sorting through old Jewish communist literature and pamphlets, Misha magazines, and old communist vinyl record disks and tape cassettes that CPUSA threw away during their liquidation.

very cool! I am thinking about getting a cnc plywood cutter and designing a flat packable ocr rig would be fun

Just looking up images of a cnc plywood cutter gives my inner creator nerd warm fuzzies just looking at the neat shit you can make with it

I feel like if I actually went through the Soviet education system I might be able to do this but my capitalist education was so lacking that I wouldn't even know where to start

[-] tripartitegraph@hexbear.net 25 points 4 months ago

One of my math professors grew up in soviet Romania and sometimes told us about what math they were taught when.
He said they were taught some relatively high up stuff (by American math standards) in high school. Some reasonably serious group theory apparently

I haven't done this type of math in almost 10 years but yes, I'll git gud in time

I am literally training to be a scientist and I fucking can't do math very well at all.

Hahaha the western standard is so low

Yes. A fascist did orbital mechanics today, did you? yuri

Trying out the problems to see how my Indian education(Kerala state govt college education) helps me:

  1. In the denominator there is a common a on both sides and can be cancelled. In the right hand side there's a common c which can be simplified.
    And the numerator on the left can be multiplied by 2/2
    We can write 4a^2^(b+c)^2n^ as (2a(b+c)^n^)^2^
    Then using x^2^ - y^2^ = (x - y) (x + y) we can simplify the numerator.

  2. 3 > ln(x)


Edit: ln(x) is bounded on both sides here. Thanking u/ AernaLingus for pointing that out
The complete answer would be 1/2 < ln(x) < 3
Thanking them again.


  1. x = e^(-3 ln(3)/(30 - ln(3)^)

  2. What's tg?
    Is it tangent? Assumed that and got x = cos^-1^(1/3) = 1.23095

Well we found our first officer of the artillery corps, everyone.

Damn you do need to remember some properties I completely forgot existed. Guess the soviets took their math classes very seriously.

Rifle me up

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago

I could do this 5+ years ago. Now? No ways, I'd need to revise and sharpen my skills again.

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I went to engineering school and some of those I have no idea how to solve. I might be rusty though, I haven't done any serious math in over 10 years.

ETA: i had just woken up and groggy. They're not actually all that bad, I might give them a try later today.

Strap me to a rocket and fire me at Berlin because there is no way I can answer those questions

[-] daniyeg@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

i guess these would be difficult back when most people haven't finished primary school, but these are just basic high school math problems. you just need to know properties of logarithm and a little bit of trigonometry.

[-] Achyu 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

In a way, true.

How is the education system in your country?

In my country India, sin, cos, tan, log etc. are introduced in high school, 8^th^ or 9^th^standard.
Though, the knowledge with the identities that'd be needed to solve the problems would be taught for those who chose the Science stream for the 11^th^ and 12^th^ standard(We call it Higher Secondary, students would be 16 - 17 years old).

So, most people who took +2 Science would be able to solve this.

I asked the question because I wanted to know if high school means the same as we have it here, in India.
