    Piecewise functions in Maxima or GNUplot

    I managed to lay my grubby mitts on Maxima about a month ago (fantastic program), but having no prior knowledge of CAS software or programming I am stuggling trying to figure out how to draw piecewise defined functions either through maxima itself or the GNUplot command line window (I prefer the...

    Solve Shortest Distance Point (0,c) from Parabola y=x^2

    Hi I am stuck on this ques. although i have solved and got the ans but i am still facing a problem. Find the shortest distance of the point (0,c) from the parabola y=x^2 where 0<= c <= 5 i got the ans right that is (c-0.25)^0.5 but i have not been able to understand the use of the 0<= c <= 5...

    Single slit diffraction maxima

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem. Calculate the distance y between adjacent maxima in single slit diffraction patterns. Your answer should be given in terms of a, λ and D. (a is the length of the slit, D is the distance between the slit and the screen and λ is...

    Maxima and Minima for a two variable function

    Greetings, can you guys please help me with my assignment?? I am supposed to find and classify all critical points of the function f(x,y) = (sin x)(cos y) Now I took the first partials with repsect to x and y and they are (cos x)(cos y) = 0 and (-sin x)(sin y) = 0, respectively. Now I...

    A confusing prob. on maxima and minima

    I have u(x,t)=-2xt-x^2 find maximum in region {-2 ≤ x ≤ 2 , 0 ≤ t ≤ 1} I believe to find the critical point first I have to take the partial derivative with respect to x and t and equate to zero. Thus Ux=-2t-2x = 0 Ut=-2x = 0 Thus the only critcal point I find is x=0, t=0. But the...

    Timelike geodesics might not be maxima of the proper time

    A commonly accepted modern SR/Gr statement is "timelike geodesics are maxima of the proper time". I really shall not dispute with these experts, who are all professors. But this statement is clearly questionable. It bothered me for a long time. The H & T experiment and GPS all show the...
