Data is represented by voltage in a computer, and therefor for more data to transfer through the same bus, more CURRENT (v/r) has to flow through that bus. I've increased my processor about .7GHz, how is this possible without violating Ohms law? I = V/RSilicon is has a constant resistance, so...

What does increasing the frequency of a computers main bus [the bus that connects the CPU to the chipset] imply about the voltage ["information"] traveling on a bus? (what IS the frequency of a bus effectively measuring, data units per second?) The way i see it (please correct me if I'm...

Well, what exactly do you mean when you say "how would you solve for this?" -- ? If you wanted to find out the number of days which it took for the fine to raise to, say, five dollars (5) you could have to first take the natural log of both sides to get e^x to become x. and then simply solve...

The correct answer is (1/y) - (1/xy) but i don't understand why What does the sum of xy not equaling zero imply that we can do to the equation to solve it?

My understanding of a modern computer is as follows; 'information' is sent from a keyboard as current (I), this signal is sent to the CPU via the appropriate buses (in this instance, USB -> North Bridge -> main bus/cpu bus -> CPU), which is then recognized by a CPU via integrated circuit, and...

That format is so much better =p

Thank you all for your responses. Going to go with Axler. Hope i can find a used paperback copy =p looks like a good book

Profound. It's like when we found out that Darth was Lukes father. (shh don't bring attention to me adding the word "the") = x lol

lmao. Are all of you simply compelled to confuse this lad? Just curious. =]

Hey, i know this is the science section but it's a brief question. Actually, the title contains it all =p I'm looking for a good pre-calculus book to brush up on stuff this summer.

Great read. Bravo, and thank you.

i feel liek as though i and you mesh, bro.

Hello any and all who end up reading this, not a matter if you reply =D Hello! As a prelude, I should probably mention that I'm a senior, and will be graduating this June. As the title implies, next year I'll be a freshman, and I know quite definitively that I want to major in engineering --...

Thanks for all of the replies. Very helpful, no bull is a big ++ Thanks again.

Thanks for both of your replies, and that regolith research project sounds pretty awesome, I've actually read a little about it, think i saw it on the discovery channel too...just sayin lol. You said that you plan on going to a grad program next year, would your (my) chances of getting...
