Hi all, I have been searching around and cannot seem to find an answer. I am doing a past paper, and have the answers but do not understand one part. I hope someone can help. The question is: A \in M_{3 \times 3}(\mathbb{R}), \vec{b} \in \mathbb{R}^{3}. The general solution to the equation...

Having angular momentum as a vector comes in handy when you want to explain gyroscopic precession. Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can give better examples :)

Aha! Genius! :) I read the first post, although it somehow skipped right by me. Thanks for replying (both Greg and Snow-Leopard). You can delete my posts if you like (don't wish to clutter this thread).

Great new forum! Already put it to good use and found myself a new textbook for additional reading! One feature that could be useful is a way to sort/filter by sub-field (for example, in Physics & Astronomy Textbooks - Classical, Relativity, etc.).

Forgot to add Doc Brown to that list. I must be mad.

Some useful ones from Orson Scott Card when it comes to naming characters (which I find particularly important in building a character people can relate to). While he does say "rules" I would think of them more as "tips" or ideas. http://www.hatrack.com/writingclass/lessons/2003-03-05-1.shtml...

I am enjoying Star Trek: Voyager at the moment (just started season 03 the other day). I like the premise and the characters are actually pretty good. A huge bonus, is that there isn't much blab (for now at least) about Starfleet's prime directive. I may read through this thread again soon to...

I have no actual sources of evidence that I can find right now Evo. But I have seen it mentioned a few times before in various places around the internet (informally). Maybe it comes from the fact that eBooks have become quite popular, and if you have already shared your work for free...

Thank you Greg for helping. It's much appreciated. I already have started writing a little (just a paragraph or two), so maybe tonight I will create a thread :) I agree with Travis_King: For those of you that might one day wish to get your stories published, I would not advise posting any part...

Is there a character limit per post out of interest? The answer will effect the next part. One option is when you open your thread, you immediately post some "reserve" posts. Possibly around 4 or 5 (or more if you're planning a long story). In these reserved spaces you can add more to the story...

I really like the concept of the Science Fiction Writing forum in general. I have been wanting to write my own novel/novella for some years now, but I just never started for some strange reason. One of the main reasons was to improve my writing, grammar and vocabulary generally. Also, the idea...

Even got a story brewing in my mind already :)

Well, the title really sums it up to be honest. Are we allowed to write our own stories and post it piece-by-piece as we write, here on this forum? If so I would love to do something like that. I may even include some of the members as characters even ;)

They do have a website where you can look up this kind of information. http://www.gradoffice.caltech.edu/ I haven't looked through there fully, but I am sure there is enough info there to answer a few of your questions. Good luck.

It's a trap!
