    Question: Accurately altering circuit resistance

    I will read those articles! I will also plan on sticking with the voltage mirror. I searched online and found an this site that does transistor cross reference (http://alltransistors.com/crsearch.php?mat=&struct=&pc=0&ucb=0&uce=0&ueb=0&ic=0&tj=0&ft=0&cc=0&hfe=0&caps=&page=0) I'm assuming any...

    Question: Accurately altering circuit resistance

    I'm not sure what is meant by the mirror circuit dropping 1 volt, is this a potentially dangerous situation? If it makes a difference, my factory instrument panel voltage supply wire (that I plan to reuse to supply power to all the gauges) gets a full 12.4v. Does the mirror circuit dropping a...

    Question: Accurately altering circuit resistance

    Thank you, Baluncore! I'm definitely going to try my hand at assembling this voltage mirroring circuit! It looks the cleanest, to me atleast. I stopped by Radioshack to look around today, they were completely out of PNP transistors, so I'm going to try the other location tomorrow, or I may try...

    Question: Accurately altering circuit resistance

    Thank you for the clarification! I feel 100% in over my head as far as actually getting your circuit to work, but I'm absolutely still going to try.

    Question: Accurately altering circuit resistance

    I will [attempt] to get some accurate measurements when I go back out to my dad's house tomorrow morning. I haven't been able to find the information online. Thank you for this! This electronics stuff is incredibly interesting! I'm actually going to Radioshack to buy a book that has been...

    Question: Accurately altering circuit resistance

    Not one to just look for answers from others... I've done some reading, and it seems the place to start is I = V/R... Which is good, except when the gauge reads empty, I end up with division by zero... so I'm trying to decide where to go from there. Edit- Now I'm seeing that Ohm's law is sort...

    Question: Accurately altering circuit resistance

    Hoping this is a simple question for people in the EE field... I study math, so I need some help in the real world (haha). I'm working on a project car that I'm trying to build over the summer, and I'm putting aftermarket gauges in it. Here is my issue. My factory fuel sending unit has a...

    Additional Math Classes for Physicists | Marshall

    The prerequisites for complex variables MTH 280 is Calculus 2, and MTH 315 is Algebraic Structures. The complex variables course (which is MTH 507, and MTH 607) is the only prerequisite for Complex Analysis.

    Additional Math Classes for Physicists | Marshall

    Awesome, thank you! My issue really seems to be that there are a lot of courses that seem super interesting, but won't have much to do with physics research (the main 2 I'm referring to right now are non Euclidean Geometry, abstract algebra). I don't mind taking a few extra classes. Being a...

    Additional Math Classes for Physicists | Marshall

    Alright thanks! I'll have to see if I have time some semester to take it, I'm not going to force it in somewhere and sacrifice a useful course. Also as I mentioned, we have a Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable, which is a prerequisite for a higher class just called Complex Analysis...

    Additional Math Classes for Physicists | Marshall

    We have a class called "Theory of Functions of a Complex Variable" I will add that to my list of classes to take for sure. Also we have a class called "Intro to Non - Euclidean Geometry" which is something I've been interested in learning about since I took high school geometry, but I'm curious...

    Additional Math Classes for Physicists | Marshall

    I've seen several threads related to my question, and I have tried to utilize the information found within them to answer part of my own question. I'm a physics major, and after looking through my universities requirements I've realized that the physics major leaves me just a few classes shy of...

    What undergrad math courses are traditionally more proof intensive?

    Thank you! I looked through my university's mathematics department course listings, I think this is our version of "introduction to higher mathematics".. does it look like I'm on the right track? Thanks again! MTH 315 Algebraic Structures Prerequisite: MTH 261. Sets, logic, quantifiers...

    What undergrad math courses are traditionally more proof intensive?

    Hey everyone, I'm just curious what undergrad mathematics courses are traditionally more proof intensive. The reason why, is that although I'm a physics major currently, I (generally) really enjoy doing mathematics, just for the sake of mathematics... so I regularly have thoughts of "maybe I...
