What is Applications: Definition and 662 Discussions

An application program (app or application for short) is a computer program designed to carry out a specific task other than one relating to the operation of the computer itself, typically to be used by end-users. Examples of an application include a word processor and a media player. The collective noun refers to all applications collectively. The other principal classifications of software are system software, relating to the operation of the computer, and utility software ("utilities").
Applications may be bundled with the computer and its system software or published separately and may be coded as proprietary, open-source, or projects. Apps built for mobile platforms are called mobile apps.

    Autotransformers in solar energy applications

    Hi!!...There's a growing popularity on these transformers as they are being used to get 120/240 split phase out of a single 120v phase, read a recent comment about them not being as safe as an isolated transformer since their inner windings are not isolated....is an encapsulated general purpose...

    What is a spring constant of 20 N/m used for?

    In my physics lab we determined the spring constant of a steel spring. This turned out to be 20 N/m. However, when I search online, I can't see any uses of springs - I know springs can be used everywhere, but nobody seems to specify their spring constant. Anyone know of any applications?

    I What are the applications of function-valued matrices?

    I'm glad there's a section here dedicated to differential equations. I've seen in the fundamental theorem of linear ordinary systems, that, for a real matrix ##A##, we have ## d/dt \exp(At) = A \exp(At)##. I'm wondering if there are analogs of this, like for instance, generalizing a system of...
