Hello,
I am interested in information regarding jobs that involve exposure to physics, "interesting math", and/or that involve making things that don't require a math/physics/engineering degree.
me: I did dual enrollment in high school, plus one year of college in which I mostly took...
Never mind, I get it now, a bit more and I think to reach higher level of understanding in this matter, I will have to understand its application to physics.
Thanks! So we have chosen that perpendicular vector found by the cross product is always positive? I still don't understand why ixj is oppositely oriented to jxi.
This is not a homework problem, but pertains to the class (Calculus II) that I am taking.
I am very confused about how to think intuitively about determining orientation of a cross product.
My understanding of the right hand rule in determining the orientation of the third axis is that...
Thank you both. But I do not know when I implied anything about being the next brilliant mathematician/physicist (Feynman, Gauss...). I merely would like to create/see my own patterns etc. and do not do so naturally, and was wondering ways to compel myself to do so. The book and insight was...
Thank you both. I will begin by checking out 'For the Love of Physics' (makes me regret not being able to fit in Lewin's ed.x course this quarter. I signed up for it, but do not have time to take it along with the other classes I am taking). So would most agree that is all has to do with...
I work retail, and spend hours each day folding clothes. I would like to ponder interesting facets of mathematics and logic, but am unable to (or plainly, do not). When I go to bed at night, I'd like to ponder abstract questions, yet do not.
Basically, I see people (and read of people) who...
Alternatives to "Intro Physics Physics for Scientists"--Jewett
My community college Calculus/Physics course is going to use this textbook (Intro Physics for Scientists and Engineers). Does anyone have any better textbooks to learn from, either plainly better in the sense that is explains...
Thank you all for the incredible answers! I just got my wisdom teeth out, but have been trying to wade through all of the incredible suggestions and responses (I am unsure of some of the terms used, etc.). I will post back a substantial, detailed response after I understand all/some of the...
Thank you for giving me a take-off point. And looks/judgements have never effected me.
Is textured foam rubber more potent at absorbing sound then carpet?
I desire to build a box that is sound proof that would be only slightly larger then my head, which I could scream as loud as I possibly could, yet the outside world would barely be able to hear, or not be able to hear at all (as little as possible). I have almost no knowledge of physics (only an...
