Oh so you do include 0 in the number line. HOw does this look: 1/(-2)n

This sequence is stumping me, how would I go about solving this? Write the sequence B = 1, -1/2, +1/4, -1/8, +1/16, ... in closed-form. I tried using (-1) has the top with different variable son the bottom, but nothing seems to add up. The 1 in the front is throwing me off. Any help would be...

Hello all, I am new here, and would like to get your opinions/advice on which is the best engineering to get into. I was originally a mechanical, but my GPA didn't make the cut (I go to Penn State), so I'm trying to look into other options. I also was only able to pass Calculus 2 with a D twice...

Hey all, I know there is a "should I be an engineer" sticky, but I wanted to start a thread to explain my situation, and see what you guys think would be in my best interest to do. I was originally a mechanical engineering major at PSU, but my GPA unfortunately didn't cut it since I transferred...

In your experience, how creative is your job? Like is it more analyzing things than anything?

Thanks for the response. I'm not required to switch out of ME, the dilemma I'm facing right now is that i have to schedule for my courses this upcoming Monday, and i don't want to schedule classes that i done need for IE if i don't get chosen for ME. At PSU, they let you know whether or not you...

I currently am in the Engineering program at PSU, hoping to get into mechanical, but my advisor said that due to how I'm doing in one of my courses, Statics, that i should look into Industrial or Nuclear, since they are the closest to Mechanical in the types of courses that are required...

Hey everyone, I'm new here, so here's my first question. As the tile says, what is the best way to study for Physics? I'm studying to become a mechanical engineer at Penn State University, and i am in my first physics course right now, 3 more to go after this one. I haven't had too much luck...
