Nice, i get it. It's exactly what i was looking for

How do i know if something is a concept?

Centripetal acceleration is a concept. Can we say calculators,t.v. remotes are also concepts. OR only the intangible things are concepts (such as torque, centripetal acceleration)

So is the concept the idea rather than the equation. If someone asked me to explain torque, would the concept be "a twisting force" rather than regurgitating the formula (t=fd)? The equation just allows to calculate things,right?

Would you say that the concept is not necessarily the equations.(i don't know if that made sense).Basically, you can describe something without having to refer to the equations. For example, the concept of torque can be explained generally without having to go into specifics(i.e equation). I...

I've always heard my profs say, you must understand the concepts rather than just memorizing how to solve a group of problems. lets say I'm reading a chapter on Planar Kinematics of a Rigid Body. Are the different sections the concepts?

Thanks for the note. I have always heard "try to understand the concepts", but i don't think i get it. Is there a certain amount of knowledge i should have before i start on the problems? I read the theory(superficially that is) to get a general idea.

I am quite pathetic when trying to solve problems. When solving problems i always refer back to solved examples. It's like comparing my self to someone who can trace a picture very well but can't draw the picture. The examples only help so far, once a much harder problem comes I'm finished. I...

Homework Statement In my main function i am filling 2 matrices. Matrix A is 18x16 and MatrixB is 16x18. Then i am multiplying them in my thread function using an array of threads. However, i am getting segmentations faults when trying to run the program. #include<stdio.h> #include<pthread.h>...

hahahahaha

Can anyone recommend any material to read leisurely?

Sorry about that. THANKS SO MUCH!

the function total_mark will be used later to calculate the total mark based on weight percentages of the labs,test and final exam. For now i just want to see if i can point to a member in my structure to the function and then return it

I'm trying to point to the data in struct ele709_record john_doe into the total_mark function. But it's not working, the value returned is not the same as in struct. #include <stdio.h> struct lab { double experiment1; double experiment2; double experiment3; }; struct theory{...
