Blackboard by far. I don't think I have ever seen a whiteboard without stuff permanently written on it.

In most textbooks I've read and programs I've work with, differential equations are normalized (made dimensionless) before being solved with some numerical method. What is the point of this? It's seems to be a lot of work for no benefice. So, after a lot of derivations, you end up with some...

Please teach me how to float in mid-air.

He was messing with you. I would not even try to clean it either. You wouldn't notice any speed improvement anyway and you run the risk of seriously messing up your computer. Leave the registry alone.

I'm a Québecois and I've heard a-ou, ou and oute. I would say 'ou' is the most common pronunciation here. When you said 'out' I thought you meant 'oute', like in the examples you posted.

There are three different ways to pronounce août that I commonly hear and "out" is one of them.

Raised but not answered!

How is computed the cross product of complex vectors? Let ##\mathbf{a}## and ##\mathbf{b}## be two vectors, each having complex components. $$\mathbf{a} = a_x \mathbf{\hat{x}} + a_y \mathbf{\hat{y}} + a_z \mathbf{\hat{z}}$$ $$\mathbf{b} = b_x \mathbf{\hat{x}} + b_y \mathbf{\hat{y}} + b_z...

Yes, that worked. Thank you very much good sir!

Thanks for the reply. I don't think that's the reason however. If I understand correctly, [FONT="Courier New"]selected_int_kind(n) returns the number of bytes (not bits) needed to hold a number with n digits. For example, this code: program prob003 implicit none integer...

I'm trying to work with big integers but for some reason this program won't compile: program prob003 implicit none integer, parameter :: k32 = selected_int_kind(32) integer(kind=k32) :: num = 600851475143 end program prob003 The file name is prob003.f90 and I'm trying to...

I really like all (most) fields of physics and I find it hard to choose a specialization for my master's and eventually my career. Is it possible to specialize in computational physics so that I could work in many different fields?

I was searching for a science related forum. As a physics major, I must say I'm very satisfied with what I have found. :)
