Yes, very neat, but might not be clear to all. A bit of elaboration might help… After n tosses each, - A has more heads than B with... -
FactChecker replied to the thread Engineering Why an Extra Coin Gives Bob a 50% Chance?.Suppose we look at the situation after both have tossed n coins and say that they have equal probabilities for every number of heads...

FactChecker replied to the thread Is A.I. more than the sum of its parts?.I would say yes. But for a reasonable discussion, we would have to narrow it to individual types of AI. With that limitation, we would...

We may already be seeing that. Even computer systems much simpler than chatbots or neural networks can exhibit unpredictable behaviour...

FactChecker replied to the thread Simple transmitter-receiver device like Smarttag.IMO, most things like that are very optimistic about their range and can only come close if there are no walls in between. A signal from...

Ask the teacher/supervisor to enable a smartphone, so other children can use the same Samsung Smarttag2 system reliably.

Then the teacher's smartphone needs to be turned on, to relay a student's Samsung Smarttag2 message to their parents phone. Does the...

FactChecker replied to the thread Can a flow created by a fan show an Edge effect when hitting a wall?.One obvious difference is that natural winds are very broad and the airflow from a fan is very narrow. I don't know what that changes...

FactChecker replied to the thread Undergrad What is the most impactful way of introducing Laplace transforms?.Aero engineers in flight control design or stability and control use it heavily.

@A.T. T Great article, where did you find it. I think a speedup is implied already for flow over an obstacle, such as a building...

FactChecker replied to the thread Can a flow created by a fan show an Edge effect when hitting a wall?.Would that be true in the steady state flow or only in turbulence? Some diagrams here seem to indicate reduced velocity everywhere yet...

If you google "optimal placement wind turbine hill" or similar, you will find more information on exploiting obstacles to improve wind...

I might also mention, but not teach, the z-transform. It's essentially the Laplace equivalent for discrete time systems; digital...

It is THE main tool for linear systems analysis (often non-linear systems too). Analog circuit design, filter design, control systems...

Informative.
The streamline figures in post 27 can be somewhat deceiving at first glance. The streamline figure spacing is shown compressed, rather...
