What is Placement: Definition and 89 Discussions

Advanced Placement (AP) is a program in the United States created by the College Board which offers college-level curricula and examinations to high school students. American colleges and universities may grant placement and course credit to students who obtain high scores on the examinations. The AP curriculum for each of the various subjects is created for the College Board by a panel of experts and college-level educators in that field of study. For a high school course to have the designation, the course must be audited by the College Board to ascertain that it satisfies the AP curriculum as specified in the Board's Course and Examination Description (CED). If the course is approved, the school may use the AP designation and the course will be publicly listed on the AP Course Ledger.

    The philosophy of size and placement

    Some things are bigger than big. They have no-where to sit. The Universe has no-where to sit. Some things are smaller than small. They have nowhere to sit. Quantum Strings have no-where to sit. Science tells us this. We, thankfully, are in-between. We have somewhere to sit. Science...

    Yes, the charge should be placed 0.012 m to the right of the -q charge.

    Homework Statement A charge of +2q is placed at the origin and a second charge of –q is placed at x = 3.0 cm. Where can a third charge +Q be placed so that it experiences a zero force?I think I've found the solution, I just need someone to verify why the math is the way it is at the end. 1)...

    Exploring the Independence of Branch Cut Placement in ln(-s^2-i\epsilon)

    In the expression ln(-s^2-i\epsilon) , s^2 and \epsilon are positive (this expression can result from for example a loop diagram where s^2 is a Mandelstam variable). In mathematics, the branch cut of ln() is usually taken to be the negative real axis, so that the value above the negative axis...
