Master equation Puns

So, I've been reading in the wiki about the Master thieve's armband, and the equation for the chance to steal an item, seems incorrect to me. It is:

Charges+min(level×50, value×level/30)value

So, anyone knows what does this "min" represents, and why there is a comma in the middle of the equation, I know people from different countries uses different ways to represent a multiplication, for example, there are people who uses "." There are people who uses "X" an people who uses "*", but I never seen no one use an "," and even if it was, the equation would be incorrect. So anyone can help me with it?

Hello! I’m a current undergrad majoring in Biology and Statistics/Machine Learning. I have an interest in getting a Masters in Biomedical Engineering, and a big concern I have is that I’m not coming from a Bachelors in an engineering field. While I have experience in statistics and linear algebra, I have little experience in differential equations (no college experience). Given this, is it worth taking a class in differential equations or should I focus on engineering research?

I've been accepted into two separate Masters in CS programs as well as a Masters in Applied Mathematics, and I am more excited about the school and coursework for the Applied Math degree compared to the MSCS programs.

The MSCS programs obviously result in more marketable skills, but the schools don't excite me at all.

Should the school excitement figure into where I want to go?

It's very simple. I have no problem exercising equations. I can do that. I even understand to a basic degree what these equations are doing for me.

But I'd love if someone who actually knows stats/likes stats can ELI5 the lovable terms that we hate to use. Like what is their goal in plain English/what am I trying to deliver with this information?

1. Odds Ratio

2. Relative Risk

3. NPV

4. Attributable Risk

5. Absolute Risk Reduction

Bonus (I get these but if you feel like you're on a roll, please feel free) Number needed to harm, Number Needed to Treat, PPV, Sensitivity, Specificity. Also, those damn graphs with the 3 gaussian curves that represent Sensitivity and specificity.

If you know a resource that explains them well, I'm happy to do some reading too, but I'd love a summary if you have one!

Thank you!

What do you think about White Lantern + Life Equation Kyle Rayner vs Thanos with the Gauntlet, assuming their powers work regardless of universes?

Personally I think when Kyle mastered the equation the things he did gave some "heart of the universe" vibes but then again the feats Thanos displayed with his gauntlet are the most solid out of any god level being in fiction

I can not remember what this is from but I know it is a thing, basically what the title says, a group of scholars all working on one huge equation/text, to join the group you have to add your own proof/theorem to the equation, has to be proven to group of masters, then you have to wait a year and prove it to them again

Someone is explaining it to the new guy and says it will be the pinnacle of their career, then he shows him the part that he added to it.

Please help!!

Hello everyone,

For my research I currently have to deal with Master Equations stemming from Markov processes. I find this very interesting, but am currently facing a challenge. My project involvesba (fairly simple) Markov chain: an item starts in point 1 (call it healthy) and throughout time, it can either transition to a second point 2 (call it dead) with transition probability of x, or it will not switch. Items from state 2 remain in state 2, so what's dead stays dead.

I was able to set up a master equation for this, but would now like to distinguish three different cases. Assume there are two such items, each going through the exact same Markov chain. How do I set up a Master Equation for this if the two events are a) perfectly uncorrelated, b) perfectly correlated (positively or negatively), or c) (the most interesting case, of course) imperfectly correlated.

I have little experience with this, and I do not require anyone to give me a solution, but rather an idea on where to look, perhaps also under which keywords, to come up with the solution myself. I hope this was acceptable to post here, thank you!

I was following a lecture on density matrices and master equations and my teacher said that Schrödinger equation is a linear equation and allows for interference, but the evolution equations for the density matrices (quantum master equations), even if they are linear, they do not allow for interference in the same way. What could he have meant? (I should have asked)

I have Enough mushies to go to Pluto, but I can’t do them justice with set and setting. How do you guys deal with this?

I'm doing some adiabatic and super adiabatic evolution using python but without success, the super adiabatic to be more precise. The problem is the way I've manege to write the super adiabatic Hamiltonian, it can be written in function of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Adiabatic Hamiltonian as:

Hamiltonian

My two different approaches were a numerical and a symbolic. In the numerical I've created a list of Adiabatic Hamiltonians (so i get one array with this dimensions [ row of Hamiltonian, column of Hamiltonian, time]). The problem in this approach is that I'm not sure how to solve the dynamics of this system that are ruled by the Master Equation:

masterEquation

I've found this Python library that solves matrix ODE:

odeintw

but I have no idea on how to use it to solve my problem or if its possible. Can some one help me please?

Hey everyone,

For an upcoming paper that I am working on I need to familarize myself with Master Equations, i.e. ways to translate stochastic processes into differential equations. I'm in my first PhD year, so I'm absolutely comfortable with the math being on a bit of a higher level (that said, I'm of course no mathmatician, so ... Sigma Algebra okay, weird topology not so much).

Can anyone recommend me a good source or textbook? I find this approach very interesting and would like to learn more about it, also beyond the (likely very basic) frame that I am going to need it for.

Thanks!
