AI Thread Summary
Advanced strategies for mastering the Rubik's Cube include the popular Fridrich method, which involves placing edge pieces on the bottom, completing the first two layers, orienting the last layer pieces, and then permuting them. The Petrus method is another effective approach, starting with a 2x2x2 corner and progressing to a 2x2x3 before orienting the edges. For those seeking more complex techniques, resources like speedcubing.com provide valuable links and tutorials focused on strategy and speed cubing. Engaging with these methods can significantly enhance cubing skills. Exploring various techniques is essential for mastering speed cubing.

Some tutorials that helped me learn the Rubik's Cube: http://sciencehack.com/pages/page015

I'd like more complex ones though with a focus on strategy and speed cubing. Any ideas?

The Fridrich method seems to be the most common for speed cubing. First you put in the edge pieces on the bottom, then complete the first two layers. Next you orient the pieces in the last layer, then finally permute the pieces in the last layer.
There are many other methods. I learned on the Petrus method. You start by assembling a 2x2x2 corner, then a 2x2x3, then orient the edges and go from there.

Nice MrJB, Thanks!
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
