    Engineering Software Engineer Typing: Importance & Benefits

    With modern IDE's you don't even need to look. Of course you'll get lots of compile time errors which you can correct thereafter. Seriously, you don't need to type fast. You only need to be accurate with what your code does. You'll definitely get the hang of if after a while. Imagine having to...

    Understanding Rational Exponents with Negative Bases

    Just a rewrite Can anyone point me to a text or link that summarizes the rules when evaluating/simplifying an expression of the form (a^n)^{1/m} for a < 0. (a^n)^{1/m} yields different answers for a^{n/m} and (a^{1/m})^n . Ex: (-8)^{2/6} = (-8)^{1/3} = -2 (-8)^{2/6} =...

    Understanding Rational Exponents with Negative Bases

    Thanks HallsofIvy i've read in some book that (a^n)^{1/m} where a < 0, n and m are positive even integers and a^{1/m} is defined can be simplified to |a|^{n/m} There are just a few examples on this subject that's why I'm looking for other resources. I've solved several exercises and I...

    When should I start reviewing Calculus while reviewing Algebra?

    Well yes I have. But I've been out of shape (mathematically speaking) since I got my undergrad in Physics more than 6 years ago because I took a programming job since. There's no concrete way for me to gauge my math skills unless I work on each and every exercise after every chapter in the text...

    When should I start reviewing Calculus while reviewing Algebra?

    Hi, I'm an amateur so please bear with my question. I'm reviewing Algebra, patienly answering every exercise in the my textbook. I enjoy answering the exercises but sometimes I get impatient especially when the questions look the same and are less of a challenge. I've read somewhere that in...

    Networks - alternative to sockets?

    Jms Hi LM741, If you're interested in other ways to allow multiple java apps to communicate (than writing your own protocol), you should try JMS or it's serverless alternative, Mantaray MQ. :)

    Double Majoring in Engineering and Physics: Preparing for a Programming Career

    Yes, a list of projects you've worked on (with or without a group) and your roles in the projects as well. I can't really say the quantity of projects. What's more important is the scope and degree of difficulty of the project and of course what you've learned and the experience you've...
