    Convolution and a specific function

    Hi there. We know that Convolve[f,g,x,y] = f[y] if g = diracdelta. My question is, what should be g so that Convolve[f,g,x,y] = f[y1] where y1 is a parameter of the g function. I.e. Is there any function g such that, when convolved with another f, gives the evaluation of f on a given point?

    Quantifying Transparency in Materials: A Physical Approach | Resources Included

    Hi there. I was recently working out some expressions in Electro-Dynamics, to calculate reflexion and transmission coefficients. Ok, I reach some Fresnel equations. However, real materials are not so perfect, in sense that they are perfect surfaces, with perfect everything. So, I wonder how...

    Integration of x^n*e^x/(e^x + 1)^2

    I there. I'm currently using this kind of integrals, with n even, and I couldn't found anything in internet for calculate this. Let From the book I'm studying Ashcroft/Mermin, Solid State Physics, Append C, it says that a_{n}=\int_{-\infty }^{\infty } \frac{x^n e^x}{\left(e^x+1\right)^2}...

    What is the best way to combine uncertainties in measurements?

    bump, At least give me a name of a book to search on...xD please...

    Uncertainty when using a line of best fit

    I advise you to read, for instance, An introduction to Error Analysis; Taylor, Jonh R.; University Science Books; 1997 It gives you nice ways of understanding the fit problem

    What is the best way to combine uncertainties in measurements?

    I agree I don't agree and I counter example with this: assume: Example 1: x_1=15, delta x_1=0.2 x_2=9, delta x_2=0.1 x_3=3, delta x_3=0.2 Example 2: x_1=9.2, delta x_1=0.2 x_2=9, delta x_2=0.1 x_3=8.8, delta x_3=0.2 By your method, both mu and sigma are the same for both...

    What is the best way to combine uncertainties in measurements?

    Homework Statement Suppose I have N x_{i} measures with a given uncertainty \Delta x_{i}. I want to have the best estimate for \bar{x} and its uncertainty \bar{\Delta x} 2. Homework Equations /3. The Attempt at a Solution Well, I'm not exactly sure because or I can have a mean...

    Mathematica Mathematica - FindFit with complex numbers

    Suppose the example: model = a^b*t^2+i a^2*b*exp[t] where (t,a,b in real) data= {{t,x(t)+y(t) i},...} where y and x are real (data is the experimental data...numbers...) FindFit[data,model,{a,b},t] Thanks, it's a possible solution...:p

    Optimizing Execution Time for Linear Code in Mathematica with a P4 Processor

    I think we can assume this code is linear. So, what you have to do is: For[i = 1, i <= 10000, i++, If[i == x, Print[i]]] Where x is (10000/47888755100)*47888755200. Count the time with a function that gives you the time it takes, the time for your computation would be something like...

    How can I use FindFit with complex domains?

    Hi there Suppose I have data of the format {x,y+i z} where x,y,z is real and i is the imaginary unit. I'm trying to make a FindFit of some nasty model that, suppose for simplification is f(x) = a^b*x^2+exp(a)*b*i*x (domain is real, codomain is complex and a,b are Real) and can be written...

    Statistical Physics Books: Reif, Kittel & More

    Like for instance Jackson for electrodynamics. It may be a little more difficult because the things are made in a good mathematic base with formal language. Thanks for the quick response. :)

    Statistical Physics Books: Reif, Kittel & More

    Hi there, I'm searching for a good book for statistical physics. Professor as told us that the bibliography was Reif or Kittel (thermal physics) However, both are a little bit old, and some not very formal. I'm wondering if something more formal, more recent, with more or less the same...

    Finding Particle Velocities in Center of Mass Calculation

    hi there. I'm having some problems with Center Mass calculations... I have a CM moving at x-axis with Vx, and it as a mass of M. Now, assume CM is made of n particles, but i only know their masses(all equal m), not their speed. My problem is how do i find their velocities? By Energy and...
