    What happens to the probability if a case is revealed to be a winning scenario?

    I think I see now that my approach to the Monty Hall question was inccorect. It should be rather that when only two cases remain, an incorrect one and a correct one, keeping your case assumes that your original case was correct and switching cases assumes your initial guess was incorrect. There...

    What happens to the probability if a case is revealed to be a winning scenario?

    Firstly, I would like to say that I am an applied physics major, so my knowledge on probability not relating to statistical mechanics is probably pretty shaky (and, to be completely honest, my knowledge of statistical mechanics may be equally as shaky). That being said, this question may be...

    How Do You Solve the Driven Harmonic Oscillator with an Arbitrary Driving Force?

    1. Driven Harmonic Oscillator with an arbitrary driving force: f(t)=x"+2bx'+w^2 x Let x(t) be expressed by x(t)= g(t)*exp(a1*t), where a1 is a solution to the characteristic equation a^2 + 2ba+w=0 for the above second order differential equation. Find the ordinary differential equation that is...
