I was always under the impression that an applied math major with some experience in other field (physics, programming, engineering, etc) wouldn't have too much trouble at all finding a decent job. As a third year applied math student, I really hope this holds true!

"In downhill speed skiing a skier is retarded by both the air drag force on the body and the kinetic frictional force on the skis. Suppose the slope angle is θ = 31.5°, the snow is dry snow with a coefficient of kinetic friction μk = 0.0400, the mass of the skier and equipment is m...
This is by far the best advice I have received. I'll definitely try dropping the CS & Math books for awhile (it just makes me feel as if I'm wasting the time though) and try other activities. As for reading, I'm about halfway through Crime and Punishment with War and Peace lined up, but I think...
I'm an incoming freshman at RIT, starting this fall. I was accepted into the CS program and had planned on double majoring in CS and Math. I've been extremely interested in CS for many years now and have great experience with web and systems programming, computer maintenance, networking and so...
We've never done that in class - this is just a scholar's high school non-calculus physics class. I have no idea what the Lorentz force is. Could you explain some?
Homework Statement
A proton moves perpendicularly to a magnetic field that has a magnitude of 6.48x10-2T. A magnetic force of 7.16x10-14N is acting on it. If the proton moves a total distance of 0.500m in the magnetic field, how long does it take for the proton to move across the magnetic...
We know that \int{e^x}dx = e^x so try to get it into that form. Substitute u = (-(x^2)/2) and get \int{e^u}du = e^u * du/dx. Solving du/dx gives you -x. You should get an answer of -xe^((-x^2)/2) - I'm pretty sure, anyway.
