I'm considering a very simple method of powering a small electronic device from a typical current carrying outlet. I'm trying to make a theoretical prediction to the amount of current I could generate using magnetic induction. Problem: I have a straight current wire carrying an...

Take the practice test your given when you register for the test and see how you do. A poor general math score will look bad. Don't assume you'll walk in and get an 800 without even doing a bit of studying. I had a friend who was a math major that did that and did a miserable (for math...

Nothing personal, but I don't understand some of these schools pre-reqs if what you guys are saying have actually been checked by an advisor. Taking Calc II concurrently with Cal III?? Classical mechanics without/concurrent with differential equations?!?

You could do a masters in the topic, you'd probably be pretty employable then

1. The samples are planets orbiting different type stars. One of the types of stars has planets inherently harder to observe so its sample is smaller but I want to see if the distribution of the different types of planets for the two star types despite this difference 2. The parameters are...

So, I am working with a professor on some astronomy research. I need two compare two samples but one of them has a much smaller size due to the lack of observations. The samples have about 5 parameters. I don't know much about statistics but from reading so far I think the...
