I don't even know the basics of writing a script. I'm really confused with the syntax. Are there any references for basic C programming that you know of?

I have a C code that creates a small histogram, but I need it to rerun many many times by changing one variable that the user can input. I've NEVER used C until this week so if someone could given me an idea of how to write a script to repeat a code and save a bunch of data from it that would be...

I'm currently working on a project for a code that does umbrella sampling of a 2-D Ising model [size LxL of a magnet (analyzing up or down spins)]. The next step is to take my code to analyze a nucleation region and its growth by varying the temperature above critical. Before I even attempt to...

Homework Statement Consider a system of N distinguishable, non-interacting harmonic oscillators. The Hamiltonian is given (shown below). Assuming that the oscillators obey Schrödinger's equation, determine the canonical partition function for the system. Then assume the oscillators obey...

Trying an example from a textbook but I don't understand Legendre transform at all. "construct Legendre transforms of the entropy that are natural functions of (1/T, V, n) and (1/T, V, μ/T)". I don't really understand where to start. An example prior to this exercise just states: A = E - TS =...

And those are velocities like u (sub x,y,z) just in each direction. Not sure how to write the notation in the posts

fluid mechanics: defition of "shear flow" [rate of deformation tensor] I'm studying old undergraduate chemical engineering notes for an exam in grad school. Can't recall what this really means, can anyone explain to me what "off-diagonal elements" means and why the trig function velocities...
