Women outscore men in IQ tests for first time since records began

It's pretty nice actually - here's a typical example:

y'' + 5y' + 6y = e^x

[D^2]y + 5Dy + 6y = e^x

[D^2 + 5D + 6](y) = e^x

Because [D - 1]e^x = De^x - e^x = e^x - e^x = 0

Multiply each side by [D - 1] to annihilate the right side of the DE:

[D - 1][D^2 + 5D + 6](y) = [D - 1][D + 2][D + 3](y) = 0

D = -3, -2, 1, where D = 1 is a root for the nonhomogenous solution and D = -3, -2 are roots for the homogenous one.

The complete solution is y(x) = ae^(-3x) + be^(-2x) + ce^x

The only real downside is that it only works for nonhomogenous equations that involve exponential, polynomial, and/or trigonometric functions on the right side.

Get that moonspeak off my OT.

I don't even know what any of that is.

Yup. It's even better when you have a table of annihilating factors on hand.

And to be fair, I don't think that the UC method is too bad for nonhomogenous linear DEs that involve trig functions. I usually plug in something like y(x) = Asin(mx) + Bcos(mx), and when I differentiate that test solution as many times as I need to, I often find that some derivatives are merely multiples of other derivatives, so I can nicely combine like terms and so on. It's still a horrible method though.ghoklebutter

e: jesus christ I am so goddamn tired of seeing that 'OOPS' page

I don't even know what any of that is.

gender=/= smartness.

each gender how smart ones and dumb ones.

I also heard recently that water is the driest substance on the planet.

Thats cool I guess, but all those guys that put other guys on the moon must be pissed

Still got a penis...in their face.MgamerBD

Probably a flook. Fightingfan

:lol:

The article writer is a huge troll. I applaud the effort, so many fell for it :lol:

It just means that there are more stupid men out there than there are stupid women. Not really that surprising

I kinda suspect this isnt the first time really but the first time a man hasn't been able to tamper with the results...Sedin44

Oh, I'm sorry, which gender has had a bigger impact on science, history, and all the important elements of society? Yeah, I thought so. Honestly, everyone is stupider these days. Not just men. Reed_Bowie

It's comments like these that show how butt hurt people are about this.. You feeling a bit insecure there buddy?sSubZerOo

Butt hurt? You do realize the article is a hoax, right?

Or do you really think that one test out of hundreds can be conclusive evidence to say there's been a "dramatic twist in the battle of sexes"? And that a misandrist's opinion was worth being quoted and put online :lol: ?

Too many variables involved to make an accurate determination. Also what was the average? They do not say.

IQ tests are a debateable way to measure intelligence, some say they are accurate and others do not. Also it doesn't test other areas in the brain, which is responsible for things like emotional intelligence, spacial intelligence, kinetic intelligence (physical movement).

Good. Now that we have a proven dominant gender, women are now obligated to take care of men.

I await my life of leisure.

I am personally going to make one.

Me no understand.

We're number 1, we're number 1! Allicrombie

Sure, but men will always make better music.

cool

At the very least, it's misguided with respect to the topic of intelligence, which is what this article and this topic is about. But more than that, I would argue that intelligence would be a more valued trait within a developed society than physical strength.Blood-Scribe

Ironic, considering the modern example of guy who is liked a lot is a sportsman, while IQ record detainers manage to die virgins, lol.

Disneyland won't be around forever, so don't get egotistical ok.

At some point we'll all be back to rubbing 2 sticks to make a fire and you on your back going PUSSSSSSH.

Men will still be there doing what we do best; hunting, surviving, killing and eating.

Women are magical creatures but like our fathers and grandfathers, we hold the line between life and death.

oprah approved

Was the IQ test about cooking food?
