    Undergrad Magnet Strength & Computer Safety: Debating Teslas

    Magnetic Eraser? Hi, My friend and I were arguing about this the other day and I wanted some input from you guys: How many teslas would it take to potentially harm a computer. In the lab we use a .155Tesla magnet to move encased objects around in our rutherford scattering lab. I said that...

    Geometric Proof of Dot Product: |A dot B| ≤ |A||B|

    I know that |B|Cos(angle) is the projection on A but what is |A|B|Cos(angle)? This is the question

    Geometric Proof of Dot Product: |A dot B| ≤ |A||B|

    I am doing a assingment for my classical mechanics class that requires the proof of: The dot product of |A dot B| <= (less than or equeal to) |A| |B| . I did the algebraic proof fine but we are required to do a geometic proof as well. This leaves me with the question what is the geometic...

    Undergrad Tracking My School Progress: Goals, Rules, and Courses

    If your Abstract Algrebra Class Is on Group, Ring and set theory; then you will be begging for the moments when nothing "spectacular" was happening... Conclusion: Enjoy the moments of Relaxing classes.

    Uncovering the Secrets of Calculus 2 and Physics: Strategies for Success

    One thing that I notice is not noted on here is group studying. It is a great way to learn, I found it really helpful in Physics 2 (electrodymamics) and calc 2. We would get together (probably 5or 6 of us), pick some of the more difficult questions disscuss them then solve them. It is fun and...

    HS students: what's a 'C' on your grade scale?

    Highschools in Alberta use just a percentage. The Average grade to get into university is 86%, (coming from high school). To get scholarships and what not you need a for sure <90%. Also it is important to remember that the average scores on the Final Exams are 75%. a lot of people don't get into...

    High School Geometric Theorems: Pythagorean & Laws of Sin, Cos, Tangent

    Remeber that back in the days of the Greeks there were no sturctured algerbra like we have now. There proofs were all based of geometry.
