There's this problem that I've been trying to solve. I know the solution for it now but my initial attempt at a solution was wrong and I can't seem to figure out the mistake with my reasoning. I'd appreciate some help with figuring this one out.

OK so I'm doing a course on Signals and Systems and I'm taking inverse z transforms using residue integration. One particular formula in complex integration made me think a bit.
\oint{\frac{f(z)}{z-z_0} dz} = 2\pi jf(z_0)
This looks eerily similar to the definition...
Oh! I get it now. I was confused by the two layers of pointers. The initial statement allocates memory for the array of pointers and since the array needs to hold pointers each element needs to have enough memory to store pointers of type (int *).
Thanks!

Ok, I'm learning C programming and I'm trying to create a dynamic 2D array. This is the code that seems to work in creating a dyamic array. I found it in a book.
//rows and cols are values entered by the user when the program runs.

Homework Statement
A sequence \{s_n\} is defined by s_{n+1} = \frac{1}{2} (s_n + s_{n-1}); s_1 > s_2 > 0 I have to prove that the sequence is convergent and I have to find the limit.

I think I understand. So there is a small force. That's the reason one of the possible theories for the end of the universe is that the expansion of space overcomes the force of gravity and electromagnetism cause atoms to rip apart.
I think they call it "The Big Rip". They're quite fond of...

I trying to learn general relativity and ran into a few questions while learning about the expansion of the universe.
I found a really good intuitive explanation of the expansion of the universe here: http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=274

Right now I'm doing a bit of self learning on the topic of synesthesia. It is a condition in which a person makes strange and automatic associations between seemingly unrelated concepts. For example some people always see numbers in colour and some always see letters in...
Square both sides and bring the bottom part to the other side. You'll get
y^2 = (1+y^2)(x^3 + c)^2
Then multiply out and regroup.
y^2 -y^2(x^3 + c)^2 = (x^3 + c)^2
then you'll get y^2 = \frac{(x^3+c)^2}{1-(x^3+c)^2}
So y = \sqrt{\frac{(x^3+c)^2}{1-(x^3+c)^2}}
Ah! I think I get it!
I've been considering the cartesian equation instead of the vector equation!
So y^1 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} x^1 + \frac{1}{2} x^2 !
Then I can get \frac{∂y^1}{∂x^1} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} and \frac{∂y^1}{∂x^2} = \frac{1}{2}
Yes, I get it now. Thanks a lot for...
Oh! I'm really sorry! :frown: It should have been
dy^1 =\frac{ \sqrt{3}}{2} dx^1 + \frac{1}{2} dx^2
And that book is really good. Thanks!:biggrin:

I say this because the standard electrode potential for the above reaction is more positive than the standard electrode potentials for the reactions in neutral conditions.
