That doesn't explain it to me, though. Why is V1 ∆11 and V3 ∆13 ? I don't see how this is just input and output.

I'm not sure how figure out the ij in ∆ij.

Since then, someone informed me that this method is using an "admittance matrix" to solve for the transfer function. I'm still not completely sure why the numbers of the cofactor are what they are, but I'm told it pertains to using a test current course, indicating that this may not be purely...

Hi, I have a problem from a textbook on control systems along with the solution, but I'm not certain how the answer was derived. The only thing I'm confused by is the method by which the system of equations was solved, which appears to be something similar to, but not quite, Cramer's rule...

Is there a resource that is just a walkthrough of various kinds of problems one might get and the ways to solve them? I'm not talking about the basics from the calc and difEQ series (u substitution, partial fraction decomposition, trig substitutions, trig power reduction, integration by parts...

The standard I've seen (I live in Illinois and attend a state school) is Newtonian physics/Mechanics (projectile, ∑F=ma, work-energy theorem, impulse, momentum, vectors, "angular" mechanics, simple harmonic motion, gravitation, and basic fluid mechanics) in semester 1, E&M (Coulombs Law...

White chocolate is cocoa butter without cocoa powder. It's actually the least healthy, since it's mostly fat. My tastebuds for sweet things are overly sensitive. I can eat baking chocolate just fine. I prefer 89% chocolate. 71 is the lowest i'll go, unless it's very special chocolate...

You don't have an IQ, you score it on a test, and it's not a particularly good test, either. It can vary a lot, depending on sleep, physical health, stress, and a multitude of other things.* It's good to find which children need special assistance and which children can be placed into more...

Something like solving a math problem at a really fast speed using only known algorithms.

I don't have the answer for you, however, it's well known that, while men have more of the mysterious "gray matter" in the brain (tissue consisting primarily of cell bodies-the "powerhouse" of the neuron), women have more "white matter" (tissue consisting primarily of axons and myelin sheaths...

Find the Terman study on gifted children. That is all.

If you just replace "Someone Far Out of League" with "practicing muslim who doesn't date," then I've done that before. "Leagues" don't exactly exist, although I think we all have some sort of peculiar gut reaction to seeing someone desirable with someone undesirable. It doesn't sound like you...

My guess is that most successful relationships have each person at roughly the same intelligence. I'm certainly not interested in women who are obviously less intelligent than I am. Or who have a liberal arts degree. I mean, at least not by the next morning.

Actually, if the minimum is x = 1/2y + 7, then you could invert it for the maximum, assuming it's coming from the other person's minimum x=2(y-7) and now let's spreadsheet this age min max 14 14 14 15 14.5 16 16 15 18 17 15.5 20 18 16 22 19 16.5 24 20 17 26 21 17.5 28 22 18 30 23...

It ranked me in the 91st percentile, but I really doubt that's accurate. I spend many hours at the gym every week and have never read comic books, sci fi, etc., and it seems the crowd self-identifying as nerd is doing little but perpetuate the highly inaccurate stereotype that intelligence is...
