    Updating the mean and sd of a set efficiently

    I am trying to work out the most efficient way of updating the mean and standard deviation of a 1 dimensional set of data. The data points change frequently and by a small amount each time, but I do not want to do a complete recalculation of the mean and sd after each change, as this is...

    Engineering Circuit Analysis Help: Find Frequency Response Equation

    yeah that's what i started doing, then the next equation at node v4 will be: v1 + v2 - v4*(2RCs + 2) = 0 which does not include any v3 terms so i cannot relate the two equations to eliminate v3. i cannot see any other nodes to analyse at this point so this is where i am stuck!

    Engineering Circuit Analysis Help: Find Frequency Response Equation

    I have to find the frequency response equation for this circuit in the attatched photo, but i don't know how to go about analysing it as I cannot see how to do voltage loop and node analysis does not work as the two nodes are not related so nothing can be eliminated from the generated...

    Finding a normalized eigenvector

    Yes to normalise the eigenvector the modulus has to equal 1. So it would be 1/sqrt(1^2 + 3^2) and 3/sqrt(10)

    Solve 1D Simulation w/ Ruby w/ Self-Taught Programming

    I have just started programming (started on C but currently using Ruby). This is literally my first proper program and I wanted some help and opinions. The problem is I am completely self taught using various random tutorials to learn the language and my own logic for the actual programs, so...

    Derivative of a derivative with respect to something else

    ok sorry i think i got it...correct me if I am wrong: i could write \frac{d(\frac{dy}{dt})}{dx}=\frac{dt}{dx}\frac{d(\frac{dy}{dt})}{dt}=x\stackrel{-1}{}\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} thanks guys!

    Derivative of a derivative with respect to something else

    im sorry but i still don't understand how to do it... rockfreak: what happens now when i change y in your expression to \frac{dy}{dt}? jam: if that was true then i would get \frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=-x\stackrel{-2}{}\frac{dy}{dt}+x\stackrel{-1}{}\frac{d^2y}{dt^2} which would produce the wrong answer...

    Derivative of a derivative with respect to something else

    Homework Statement If x=e^t, find \frac{dy}{dx} in terms of \frac{dy}{dt} and hence prove \frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=e\stackrel{-2t}{}(\frac{d^2y}{dt^2}-\frac{dy}{dt})Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution Well i have done the first bit: x=e^t \frac{dx}{dt}=x...
