Thank you VERY much for that site. It looks quite nice. But to clarify, I am actually looking for any free resource to help learn calc, I just assume that most of the responses I will get will be links to websites, since this is, well, the internet. Thanks again!

Looking for good calculus teaching website I'm looking for any free resource (which you will most likely post in the form of a website) which you dictate as a great resource to learning calculus. I am currently in Calc 1, but I'm getting my rear-end handed to me. I have difficulty in...

Sorry Chris, the math there is beyond me. I've tried figuring this out many times before. I enjoy CRGreathouse's post because that gave me a formula in which to figure out an NxNxN cube, although I'm not sure how to run the script in Maple. I used Maple and converted the script to Java which...

Rubik's cube permutations I suck with really big numbers, so that's where you guys come in :) I basically want to know the number of permutations a 1000x1000x1000 Rubik's cube has, as well as a 5x5x5x5x5 Rubik's cube. Yes, a 5-dimensional one. I've been reading these a formula's, and...

That's a really neat video, but it doesn't actually answer my question. The article that I read claimed that the gyro could not be lifted before spinning, but after spinning. Maybe the video does answer the question, but all that I saw it prove was that it changed the center of gravity, in a...

Ok...I cannot remember where I had seen it...I believe it was in a science book in high school because I remember a picture being associated with it. It went something like this: Some famous physicist/scientist had a very heavy gyroscope at the end of a long metal rod. He could not lift...

Hm...now that I've been thinking...I think that the arrow does not start to decrease velocity at 3/4, but much closer to 1.

My dad gave me this question: "My most recent bout with physics was in my article on arrow flight. I have a question for you. I was told many years ago that an object (ball, arrow etc.) shot or thrown, (picture a pitcher or archer) does indeed continue to accelerate (increase in speed) for a...

I just re-read my above post, and my grammar and sentence structure sucks arse. Just to be clear: Instead of me going and fixing my grammar and sentence structures, I decided to make a post to myself telling myself that I suck at English. I suck.

I, unfortunately, am very sure that I did not misquote him. The tree falling in the forest analogy I read in some book or magazine. Probably both because it seems the most familiar of an analogy, like I've read it before. The Schrodinger's cat analogy can be found (and it's where I read it in...

Still a little hazy, but I'm getting there. Basically, the observer effect is a by-product of the uncertainty principle. The only way we can measure the electron is by hitting it with a photon. When the two collide, somehow only one wave is left standing. That wave is the reality of the path...

I do understand your very abrupt point. Sad that I didn't see it like that before. I am to understand that I was understanding correctly that observing creates data, data creation takes energy, the used energy interferes with the behavior of the wave functions, collapsing one. Since it is...

Alright, I've been doing a lot of reading and talking with my professors at college, and I just can't seem to wrap my head around the observer effect. Basically, Schrödinger's cat. I've heard a lot of analogies to compare it to, but I'm still baffled by it. I've heard "If a tree falls in...
