    Heating a small greenhouse - heat loss

    I have to build a small green house and to calculate if one heating wire is enough (or even too much...) Just for my curiosity I would like to understand the physics implied in this. The starting point is the desired dimensions: two modules of greenhouse with the following dimensions: 60 cm...

    Best way to represent a two-rounds election

    I think this is exactly what I was looking for...Thanks! Now, how would you express the same idea but with iteration. So "candidate i needs more than N/2 votes at first round or time t1 and also more than N/2 votes at second round or time t2 in order to become president" All in one formula

    Best way to represent a two-rounds election

    Let us say that the relation between two variables is between numbers of votes and number of seats obtained. In this case the number of seats obtained can be 1 or 0. Every candidate can obtain 1 "seat" at first round to be a candidate in the second turn or 0. At the second turn 1 seat and the...

    Best way to represent a two-rounds election

    In this case we have: time (every round of elections is an occurrency of time) number of votes per candidate candidates In the first round there can be n candidates. In the second round only 2 candidates I woulk also like to express the equation in a way that there could be n rounds of...

    Best way to represent a two-rounds election

    Honestly I do not understand why it should not make sense. Anyway the problem above is simple. Can it be described by a differential equation, or perhaps it is better linear algebra?

    Best way to represent a two-rounds election

    Let us take a real example. In France they have a two rounds election law for the presidential elections. If a candidate gets 50%+1 votes at first round, he or she is elected president. Otherwise, there is a second round. I would like to represent this with an equation.

    Best way to represent a two-rounds election

    I would like to represent a two-round election and I would like to understand which is the best way to represent it. I was thinking of a differential equation, or perhaps also linear algebra could be used. Can anybody link something with a formal mathematical representation of a two round...
