    Koch Snowflake Proof by Induction.

    Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to prove the area of the Koch Snowflake via induction? At the moment I have the equations: An+1=An+\frac{3√3}{16}(\frac{4}{9})n and An=\frac{2√3}{5}-\frac{3√3}{20}(\frac{4}{9})n These two don't seem to work together very well when trying to prove by...

    Help with the Schrödinger Equation.

    I watched a little of the lectures last night (UK time) but I did not have enough time to complete one, however I searched the internet for a pdf on linear algebra, how is this? http://joshua.smcvt.edu/linearalgebra/book.pdf

    Help with the Schrödinger Equation.

    I've been reading up on complex numbers and they don't seem too difficult to grasp - ill focus more on them later. I'll also watch the video later and then come back to here, thanks for the help!

    Help with the Schrödinger Equation.

    I don't have a basic understanding of linear algebra or complex numbers - any idea on where to start?

    Help with the Schrödinger Equation.

    i \hbar \frac { \partial \psi} {\partial t} = H \psi Would you be able to give me an example of this equation in use?

    Help with the Schrödinger Equation.

    So I've been trying to understand this equation for a long time, about half a year - I don't know someone who could teach me this either due to the fact that I am only 15 and going into my final year in secondary school after August and according to most colleges (UK college, not American) in my...

    Why do neutrino oscillations require mass?

    I was reading up on chameleon particles today, and this lead me to reading more about neutrino oscillations - I noticed that at one point it said for oscillations to occur, neutrinos must have mass, there was no explanation to this, but it goes against the standard model. Since I am only young...

    What Is the Wavelength of the Earth According to De Broglie's Equation?

    Thanks guys! Slight confusion on Plancks constant, so sorry for that!

    What Is the Wavelength of the Earth According to De Broglie's Equation?

    [FONT="Times New Roman"]So I was reading about De Broglie's theory of particle-wave duality the other day and I came across the equation: λ=h/p. I expect most of you are familiar with this equation but if you're not, it is: wavelength = Planck's length over momentum (mass x velocity). So I...

    Best Books for Physics: 15 Year Old

    Thanks for the suggestions! To start me off I'm reading through http://www.trillia.com/d7/zakon-basic-a4-two.pdf "Basic Concepts of Mathematics." I will of came of very arrogant by the way I put everything before, the way I said it made me look to say that I completely understand it all. I...

    Best Books for Physics: 15 Year Old

    Hi, so at the moment I'm in what we call Secondary School in England - I'm not to sure what this is in America and other countries of the sort, so ill put my age - I'm 15. I love physics (as implied by me being on a forum), and I want to understand it in more depth. I understand things such...
