Help with Einstein and Planck's Views Question
Question: Outline how Einstein's and Planck's views of Science differed in relation to Science research being influenced by society an politics. I can't remember anything about this and I'm having trouble finding the information needed. Can some one please help me understand what is is that...- FilupSmith

Undergrad Displacement of a Particle: Investigating Complex Values in Equations
I know what it looks like, I'm just curious about what the displacement would be for non-real x values - but it seems to be that for ##x=f\left( t\right)##, x cannot be complex. ~| FilupSmith |~- FilupSmith

Undergrad Displacement of a Particle: Investigating Complex Values in Equations
That sounds most probable. So for the case of ##x=\sqrt{t-2}##, ##x\in \mathbb{R}## ? ~| FilupSmith |~- FilupSmith

Undergrad Displacement of a Particle: Investigating Complex Values in Equations
A few months ago, I stumped my Mathematics teacher with a question when we were learning about displacement of a particle, given a formula. For example, ##x=t^{2}-t-1##, where x is in meters and t is in seconds. Anyway, she made it very clear how to solve displacement when given time t...- FilupSmith

LaTeX LaTeX: Difference Between \frac and \dfrac?
I looked it up and i believe the only difference is that \tfrac or \frac allow for text sized fractions (great for 1/3, etc.) while \dfrac is best for formulas! Thanks none the less!- FilupSmith

Undergrad Can you derive e^x by first principles?
Differentiation by first principles is as followed: $$y'=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\dfrac {f\left( x+h\right) -f\left( x\right) }{h}$$ So, assuming that ##y= e^{x},## can we prove, using first principle, that: $$\dfrac{dy}{dx}\left( e^{x}\right) =e^x$$ Or is there other methods that are...- FilupSmith
