    Engineering Are there any engineering jobs with 30 hour work week?

    ""Most people hate their jobs but if you do something you like, you'll want to work 80 hours a week"" Yeah, most people hate their jobs...because they are JOBS. Which is why I don't want to be just another commuter/worker bee all day.

    Engineering Are there any engineering jobs with 30 hour work week?

    As for girls...yeah, the data supports that. On the math sat, guys make up about 2.5 times as many perfect scores, and 1.5 times as many perfect verbal scores, though we have similar averages

    Engineering Are there any engineering jobs with 30 hour work week?

    Dude, come on. I don't like "work" that's why it pays well. The only jobs i can see of "liking" are things like video game instructor, or entertainer at a circus...which, the reasons for not doing those should be obvious.

    Convergence of an infinite product

    Hmm, I am not aware of those methods. Can you point me to an online textbook/ a few links that have the material and some challenging but doable examples?

    Convergence of an infinite product

    I think I got it. I used the integral test. The ln sum diverged to infinity. Because of that, this converges to zero.

    Convergence of an infinite product

    Homework Statement Find what the infinite product (2N-1)(2N) converges too. Example. 1/2*3/4*5/6 Homework Equations That's it. The Attempt at a Solution I have several strategies for this, all of which are similar, and none of which I know how to show.I think it converges to...
