    Computer Engineering: What, Why, How, Where?

    Here is a very specific illustration of the differences at my University(taken from one of their powerpoint presentations). It will probably be a bit different at your university, but the core idea should remain the same. Computer is like Electrical but add these are the required courses...

    Compute a derivative using MacLaurin series

    Thank you, it worked. I knew there was something wrong with the -1. I don't know why I thought I could do that operation on a sum. I had also simplified \frac{x^{8n}}{x^{7}} to {x^{n}} , which is totally wrong. I don't why I did this.

    Compute a derivative using MacLaurin series

    Homework Statement Compute the 9th derivative of f(x) = \frac{\cos\left(3 x^{4} \right) - 1}{x^{7}} at x=(0) Homework Equations f(x)=\sum^{\infty}_{n=0} \frac{f^{(n)}(c)}{n!}x^n cos(x)=\sum^{\infty}_{n=0} \frac{(-1)^{n}}{(2n)!}x^{2n} The Attempt at a Solution The correct answer is...

    Picking an undergraduate program in EE/CS, specializing in Robotics?

    What about computer eng.? To me it seems like a mix of EE and CS, which could very well suit your needs. BTW, I'm at McGill in Mech. Eng(1st year) and my main interest is robotics too. So far everybody only seems to be interested in cars(in Mech. Eng other departments I don't have a clue), and...

    Tips on finding the eigenvalues of a 3x3 matrix

    I find it rather tedious to calculate the eigenvalues of a 3x3 matrix. For example The \emph{characteristic polynomial} $\chi(\lambda)$ of the 3$3 \times 3$~matrix \[ \left( \begin{array}{ccc} 1 & -1 & -1 \\ -1 & 1 & -1 \\ -1 & -1 & 1 \end{array} \right)\] is given by the formula \[...
