Graduate 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...- 96hicksy

Graduate 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- 96hicksy

Graduate 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!- 96hicksy

Graduate 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...- 96hicksy

Graduate 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...- 96hicksy

Graduate 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...- 96hicksy

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...- 96hicksy

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...- 96hicksy
