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.

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...

I scored very high in some sections and very low in others. I also took it when I was 11 and had a serious sleep disorder, apart from the diagnosis I got, alongside the test, of high functioning autistic. But more importantly, though, IQ is a score you get on a test, it's not something you...

That said, can anyone find examples of music that is considerably more musically diverse (and I mean music that isn't just plain "weird" in that weird for the sake of weird sense, like middle-pink floyd records or primus)? I want to think I can find examples of more diverse sounding music that...

I use the same approach, except I substitute corn for cheeseburgers and cows for people.
