    Meaning of subscript in partial derivative notation

    Homework Statement I'm given a gas equation, ##PV = -RT e^{x/VRT}##, where ##x## and ##R## are constants. I'm told to find ##\Big(\frac{\partial P}{\partial V}\Big)_T##. I'm not sure what that subscript ##T## means? Homework Equations ##PV = -RT e^{x/VRT}## Thanks a lot in advance.

    Python Perform an image deconvolution using FFTs and Python

    Homework Statement [/B] This problem is from Mark Newman's Computational Physics, problem 7.9, found at http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/cp/exercises.html. The problem gives us a blurry convolved image, according to a Gaussian point spread function and our objective is to deconvolve it to...

    Determining the B-field in center of current carrying loop

    Awesome, thank you for your replies! But I'm still wondering why it would be incorrect to take a tiny dl of the current carrying loop, draw an amperian loop around it, and add up the upward facing components of the B field?

    Determining the B-field in center of current carrying loop

    Homework Statement Determine the B-field inside the middle of a circular loop of current. Homework Equations Attempt at using Ampere's law: ##\oint \vec{B} \cdot d \vec{l} = \mu_0 i## The Attempt at a Solution ##\oint B \cdot R d \theta = \mu_0 i \Rightarrow BR(2 \pi) = \mu_0 i \Rightarrow B...

    What is the electric potential at points A and B?

    The potential is a scalar quantity. Simply find the potential due to A, the potential due to B, and add them up. Here is an algebraic solution: We know that ##V = \frac{kQ}{r}##. So, ##V_A## will be given by $$V_A = \frac{kQ_1}{r_1} + \frac{kQ_2}{r_2}$$, where ##r_1## and ##r_2## are the...

    Can an O(n) algorithm's actual growth rate exceed n?

    I also see O(nlogn) when looking at sorting algorithms, so that might be useful as well.

    Can an O(n) algorithm's actual growth rate exceed n?

    In order for something to be in a Big Oh class of something else, you want to prove that you can do some operation on your something else so that it will outspace the your something in the long run. Let's look at a concrete example. Let's say that you want to prove that ##T(n) = n^2+3n+5 \in...
