Also, get started soon! You may not feel old at 25, but just wait till a 22 year old EIT is treating you like it is your first day out of the academy. When you are near thirty with many years of valid work experience behind you it can be uncomfortable feeling to come into a brand new...

Currently in the middle of an EE degree. Re-enrolled at the age of 27. I would agree with the above comments on a couple of things: I think an EE degree is more challenging than a CS degree. I have many friends in the CS program; it appears challenging, but the way engineering is structured at...

Interesting. This is how you would generally define differential calculus?

Just trying to get an idea of what micromass was talking about here: From my perspective it seems as though the edges of "pure" calculus get a bit fringy as they head off into other fields; some applications are not clear cut as one discipline or another.

Thanks all.

Can anyone make a recommendation on a good first course book on Dynamic Mechanics? I have a good background in calculus (1,2,3,ODE's,PDE's), linear algebra and statics (up to and including bending/shear moment diagrams etc.). So anything that makes use of those maths and sciences would be...

I see micromass. Would you consider the Residue Theory from Complex Analysis as applied to real integrals to fit this description as well?

Concise, thank you jedishrfu. May the force be with you.

Are there fields of "pure" Calculus that follow Vector Calculus? I mean fields that are not primarily ODE, PDE etc, Real Analysis or Complex Analysis, topology etc. Does Vector Calculus and its prerequisites fully encompass the basics of Calculus as a field?

I spent 6 years in construction management before I went back to do my engineering degree (also at 27). I am entering my 3rd year now. I had the opportunity to do a four-month internship after my first year (I consider this a lucky break). It was an incredible learning experience, and I highly...

Any recommendations for getting an accurate reading of a magnetic field in a solenoid coil? They're ferrite cores wrapped with magnetic copper wire. Would putting a Hall sensor at the end of the ferrite be a reasonable way to do this? Or will the field have already diverged? (The coil stops...

I see! Good to know, so you would even recommend to just use a simple cylinder? We are trying to maximize magnetic dipole moment for torque against the magnetic field of the Earth. As to part numbers etc, I wish. I have no part information. I am working on our team leads to get some more data...

Hello! We are working with some ferrite rods to build solenoid magnetorquers for a cubesat design. The geometry on these rods is unique. Are there benefits to this type of a geometry? They are 19.6 cm length x .67cm diameter.

\lim_{\Delta z\to 0}\frac{|z_0+\Delta z|-|z_0|}{\Delta z} By triangle inequality, |z_0+\Delta z|-|z_0| \leq |\Delta z| Using special case where, |z_0+\Delta z|-|z_0| = |\Delta z| Gives, \lim_{\Delta z\to 0}\frac{|\Delta z|}{\Delta z} When approaching zero on positive real axis, this...

Or rather, any idea how to prove it is differentiable nowhere?
