Just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing problems viewing any of the images on planetmath.com? Take for example: http://planetmath.org/encyclopedia/GammaFunction.html All the images (and hence the bulk of the information) simply does not appear. This seems to be the case...

If one wall is at infinite potential, and the other at some finite potential, what is the decay length outside of the well? I was thinking it might be twice that for a finite square well. Also can anyone provide some information regarding these wells? Google is (surprisingly) devoid of any...

Dick I do apologize. I'm not sure why I saw David in place of Dick. Rs1n, I'll be sure to update the proof before I submit it. I emailed my professor with the same proof I posted, and he responded: "Your proof on the first problem looks good. It's a bit more "brute force" than a proof using...

I can't thank you guys enough for your help. David, your absolutetly correct in that a lot of my previous work was...illogical. Rather it was a mish-mash of ideas with no concrete direction. rs1n, your explanation was absolutetly invaluable. Furthermore you helped me to understand the...

Hi Ivy (may I call you Ivy?), first off I really appreciate your response. It would seem that sometimes we simply require a nudge. I think I understand what your getting at (that eureka moment). I had actually noticed that bijective "symmetry" your talking about (forgive my diction). Here...

Homework Statement \forall x\in Z, if x is odd, \exists y\in Z, such that xy\equiv1(mod 16) The attempt at a solution I tried to prove this by using the fact that if you got a set of odd integers R = {1, 3, 5, ..., 15}, and if x, y, f(r) \in R, then xy\equiv f(r)(mod 16). This...

I believe I used just about all the hints my professor gave. Though whether I used them correctly is questionable. For the first hint I multiplied both sides by 2^(n-1) in order to fit the form he gave -- i.e. 2^(n-1)^2 * 2^(n-1) > (n-1)^(n-1) * 2^(n-1) For the second hint, I got rid of the...
