Hello friends, Is it possible that a function take inputs as vectors in Rn and return one real value R. One such example is dot product. But keeping mathematical rigor in mind what should I call this function. Problem 1. Its a function from R2n to R or a function such that f(Rn,Rn)->R...

Thanks a lot, for your help

Thanks for replying, I read the article in non elementary intergrals, however there isn't satisfactory explanation given. I'm doing undergraduate and have never heard of non elementary integrals. Is that mean that you can't solve these integrals analytically without computers and how this is...

Is it possible to solve this integral ?? Homework Statement Is it possible to solve this integral equation analytically. Actually I wanted to curve fit some data in MATLAB using a equation of which this is a part. I tried various techniques all in vain. PLease help.. Homework Equations...

Hello micromax Thanks a lot for answering my so many questions. The link you gave really helped me a lot n I get a better feel of the whole thing. Again thanks a lot..

Ya thanks a lot . Now I'm not getting any regular behaviour. I have attached the pic

This is a problem related to julia sets but its more of a mathematical problem so I posted it here. x= x^2 - 2 For what values the iteration does not go to infinity. I can't figure out how to calculate that. I tried calculating a nth term of this in terns of initial term but all in vain.

This text patch is taken from wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julia_set "For f(z) = z2 the Julia set is the unit circle and on this the iteration is given by doubling of angles (an operation that is chaotic on the non-rational points). There are two Fatou domains: the interior...

oh here it is. I was not convinced. If you say that external gravitational field can affect the internal energy. Then so can psuedo gravitational field due to gas in a accerlating frame. But I have read it essentially many times that systematic motion of a gas as a whole can't change the...

oh I apologize for that. Ya you won't believe but its true that I almost forget that I had already asked this question before. Still I don't remember what were the replies. Thanks anyway for replying. Could you suggest me some books on this to get out of this dilemma or confusion..

What is the physical significance of the entropy linked to magnetic field. I was reading a research paper on magetocalorific effect. It says magnetic component of entropy but entropy being a state function should not get affected by the external fields. Just like it does not get affected by...

Thanks for answering. But I do not agree that potentials are just mathematical constructs. Gravitaional potentail or electric potential has significant well understood physical interpretation which is in accordance with its name, potential (ie potential to do work.. due to its location in space)

Hey first of thanks for the answer but what you wrote about is the scalar potential. I'm asking about vector potential. This one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_potential

I was reading the text of electricity and magnetism by griffiths. Here I read a term called magnetic potential but I did not completely understood the physical essence of the term, neither it is explained in the book. It should have some physical interpretation as it is named a potential. In...

Thanks for answer but I'm having a hard time understanding this all.. So can I generalize that all force fields can effect the internal energy of the substance (it can affect the amount in which it is distributed in potential and kinetic energy) but it in itself does not contribute to...
