Terilien,
I am also a high school student that's beginning to learn some GR. I guess my math background is pretty similar to yours (had multivariate, currently taking diffyq and linear algebra). Might I ask what book you're working from? How well is it working for you? I've been using...
An example
I am also beginning to learn some of these things. Let me share a simple example that really helped me.
Imagine you are driving a car across a field, and your car is equipped with a thermometer. Your car is moving at a rate of 10 meters per second, and the temperature rises as...
You're not understanding what I'm asking.
You are not given a(t). You are given a field assigning a force or acceleration to every point in space.
Also, you're given the particle's initial position and velocity.
The goal is to find the position as a function of time.
To make things simple...
I wasn't sure whether to put this in the math section or the physics section because it's a bit of an overlap problem.
I want to know how to find the position as a function of time of a particle given its acceleration as a function of position. I know this is some sort of differential...
This year, I am entering my senior year in high school. I plan on majoring in physics, but I'm having some trouble deciding where to apply. Obviously, I'm not going to decide where I go to college based solely on advice given in an online forum, but I'd appreciate a couple nudges in the right...
Enter your data into a list.
Hit stats, Calc, 1-Var Stats, select the list you put the data into.
S_x is the standard error.
\sigma_{x} is the standard deviation.
