My class, teacher included, cannot seem to figure out the integral of the square root of tan x. Maybe someone here can help? thanks, jeremy

i have talked to at least two people who have said they they have/will retake all the AP/college courses they took in high school at whatever university they are going to. one friend plans on retaking calculus (from 1) because, supposedly, it will be under better teachers. he also says...

for simplicities sake i used -> as an arrow. i see now that it looks like a minus greater than sign.

I wrote a TI-86 program for estimating the area under a curve using "Right Rectangular Approximation Method" (RRAM), "Left..." (LRAM), and "Trapezoid" method. However, it refuses to work. Sometimes it works, but I have gotten answers that are way off. Once i got something that was 3x the...

Unfortunately, I don't have the article. However, thank you for helping with what you could. I thought the argument seemed a bit illogical.

Today my teacher mentioned a past article in scientific american that dealt with the modification of reality due to relativity. According to her (and i am not sure this is true) light can be perceived in different places according to the position of different people. For instance, if i am...

sounds good thanks a bunch

I am doing my calculus homework and two problems are holding me up. The first says: Using one-sided derivatives, show that the function f(x) = x^3, x_<_1 3x, x>1 does not have a derivative at x=1 Now it is painfully obvious that the function is not continuous at x=1. however, i...

It is out of 36 now...might have been the same then. so you did well in high school and were shocked a bit at first in college? what type of engineering did you pursue? i have heard that you go to class, study, and do homework for about the same amount of time you would spend working at a...

Engineers and engineering students: what did you get on the ACT? from what i understand, the ACT is an approximation of how well you will do in your first semester of college. i know a bunch of people will say, "it doesn't matter what i got...i just worked hard my first year of college."...

why do you say physics is in crisis and then not explain what you mean? physics appears to be doing fine from my perspective. classical, relative, and quantum physics are all being applied with accurate results. the only "crisis" i know of is the unification of general relativity and...

As an undergraduate, if you get your degree in some kind of engineering, can you go on to graduate school for a physics degree? while i plan on doing engineering, my second choice is definitely physics. just looking for options in case i find an engineering job to be boring and i want to...

I have actually taken social studies/history all four years. this year, however, i took government for four hours a day over the summer so i could make room for AP chem II. little did i know, french 4 was the same hour as AP physics II, and we see which won that battle. Next semester Lit and...

alright so i should basically always keep the truck in overdrive except: when climbing a long steep hill and it is switching gears erraticly when i am towing/have bed full of rocks and am climbing a rather steep hill thanks for all the help guys. my truck and i thank you.

so how should i be using overdrive? do i need it on my daily 10 minute commute to school, or only when i get going on a highway for half an hour? should i be shifting from D to OD while i am driving (i understand shifting between certain gears while pressing the gas can damage the...
