    Quantum Introduction to Quantum Mechanics by David J. Griffiths

    Hah! My professor said the same thing. We are learning Dirac Notation now, midway through the semester, as he believed it to be too much for the beginning. I found https://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Quantum-Mechanics-Introductory-Eigenvalues/dp/0486453081 very helpful for learning linear...

    Graph using Maple for Astronomy

    Homework Statement I am not sure what to do with Maple. I've barely used it at all, but trying to figure out why this won't work with what I have below. Plot schematically the change in equilibrium temperature of Earth, if its albedo changes from 0.3 to 0.7 (in 0.1 jumps). Homework Equations...

    Calculus II Applied Project - Graphing Section - Help with Excel

    Ya, the professor definitely enjoyed it :) Gorgeous graphs. Making me giddy! :) So nice seeing it all come to life. Amazing what 5 lines of code can do and a little factoring, haha. Using Maple 14 right now. I think that is the most up to date version.

    Calculus II Applied Project - Graphing Section - Help with Excel

    Thank you both so much! So the project was due today, in a way. We had to present. This morning I went to school early and played around with Maple, within a half hour or so I was able to make a graph, totally incorrect, but a graph nonetheless to show during my presentation. Excel I gave up on...

    Calculus II Applied Project - Graphing Section - Help with Excel

    So I have inserted my equation, but the range, I don't quite follow where to go. So far within I have the function: =((8*(3.1415926535)*(1.3807*(10^-23))*5700))/(x^4) What happens with the variable 'x'? Is this when I would begin with a range of numbers and (x) be (A2) through (A50-100 or so)...

    osnarf! Thank you. I am working on that Excel sheet now. I am trying to acquire a copy of Matlab as the University I am transferring to told me if I learn Matlab I could help with research as a sophomore. I'll find a copy and then try out your conditions.

    Calculus II Applied Project - Graphing Section - Help with Excel

    I have never used Maple, sadface. Is it easier to input larger equations in Maple than Excel? The Excel operators seem alright for my physics labs, but I am dumbfounded here.
