    Help with conversion of equation

    Whozum - in the first equation, it is C of v as you wrote but in the second equation, it is C of rho times v So logarithms cannot be used can't they? Regards, M

    Help with conversion of equation

    Hey guys, I'm trying to convert this equation into terms of y Q = C (of v) ^n Q = C (of rho.v) ^ y v is the veloctiy and rho v is the flow of a material although that doesn't really matter. C is a contant, and rho is equal to 1.42. When i write of v - i mean if writing it out on paper...

    Is a Space Drive Without Explosions Possible?

    With a Zero Knowledge Proof you do tell one person about your idea and they check it and then just tell people effectivly that you are right. They do not tell people what you are right about precisely, for example you show the leading engineer in America your owk under a Zero Knowledge Proof, he...

    What Are the Best Tools for Teaching Calculus to Children?

    In the UK calculus used to be taught at 15-16, this is a while ago now - probably when the GCSE was still an O-level, now it is taught @ 17-18. I believe that the single greatest hurdle in the teaching of calculus is the symbols - it can appear to be a different language that is only...

    Is a Space Drive Without Explosions Possible?

    Hi, Nice to see Ben is being as helpful and as well accepted as ever! Well OP - if you want to get verification of your idea use a zero knowledge proof. It is the best way in my eyes as it protects your 'secrets'. I'm sure our lawyer can verify me on this. Regards, M

    Exploring Math's Structural Impact on Logic & Beyond

    I just wrote a really long and funny post but it really didnt express what i wanted to - what I really want to say is - yes maths is built on axioms that cannot be proven without the use of other axioms and so the entire syste, is underpinned by a created basis. The original poster sid that...

    Exploring Math's Structural Impact on Logic & Beyond

    Or are we talking about the axioms Mathematics is based on (typically Peano's)? And the limits this places on mathematics? -M
