Thank you it was surprisingly difficult finding the answer for such a simple thing on the net.

How do I how to insert spaces between words in latex, not new lines or indentation, I mean just a regular space that one does with spacebar on a word editor. Couldn't find answer on web.

Geogebra is a free and multi-platform dynamic mathematics software for learning and teaching. Looks pretty good to me if you can't afford an advanced software program like Mathematica or Matlab.

Thanks that's all I wanted to know.

Can someone tell me if I must install Latex and Lyx, or MikTex, or WinEdit or is one enough, in order to use math typesetting on a text editor? Is Latex necessary to install first before you install the a complimentary program, so Lyx can utilise its abilities or do these programs have Tex /...

Can anyone recommend a good and reliable online resource on this subject area? One which explains areas like registers, bus & c.p.u etc other than the sometimes unreliable wikipedia.

No I didn't want to bring the micro QM world into it, just a macro level, so no that didn't really help to answer your question. If I wanted to know what happened on the micro I would have asked for it but thanks anyway for the response.

Oh look what I meant by the college thing was that one shouldn't have to study for 4 years to get an informed low level understanding of a subject, like one might be curious about DNA that shouldn't mean it takes 4 years to get an idea of what its all about. Of course I realize to be become an...

Okay I know its a long post and I am weary of receiving information I can get easily somewhere else. Which is why I have spent some time studying this area and if you've read my thread carefully I'm saying that I think there are ideas and concepts that education in this area often overlooks. Its...

I'm trying to clear up my picture of basic electricity and electronics. I've looked at some other posts that ask what is voltage, but have come away with questions in my mind. Here are some thoughts I'm throwing out there in the area of current energy, speed, and force. I feel there are some...

Oh I was forgetting that these are the Ideal Gas Laws, but I'm pretty sure having read the refined ones that they don't address these conflicts. However I may have to re-search...

I am still unsure but you do insure yourself there, (post contains irony...). I appreciate quick responses, but I have read reliable material and am familar with the basic theories as presented by textbooks and don't need them restated unless they sufficiently show where I'm going wrong. I...

Is pressure distinct from temperature in gas laws? How do we separate these attributes? Take Charles law for example, now unless I've read this example from a textbook (textbook Silberberg Chemistry 3rd edition ) incorrect, it describes an experiment to determine the relationship between the...

Well I'm not fussy, can be any of those, (unless of course that changes how the the force is communicated through the fluid/gas) I'm concerned about the underlying principle.

I've being studying fluids and pressure, but want to clarify something. Take a rough example of a force applied on a fluid/gas is it correct to say that from 'P + pgh' one can say that as the volume and height increases or with these increasing layers there is more force been 'packed' behind...
