    That would do it.. such a stupid mistake, thanks!

    Trapezoidal rule error bounds problem

    Sorry, the equation was wrong. It should be fixed now.

    Trapezoidal rule error bounds problem

    Homework Statement a. Use the trapezoidal rule with n = 4 subintervals to estimate \int_0^2 x^2 dx. b. Use the error bound to find the bound for the error. c. Compute the integral exactly. d. Verify the error is no more than the error bound.Homework Equations Here, based on the problem, a...

    List: texts/ideas for BS math/phy to grad school

    Incredible resource. Would you mind if I rewrote it in \LaTeX? Obviously all credit to you. I just think TeX is easier to maintain/looks better/is more accessible than a Word document :)

    Studying Will I be capable of self-studying for AP Physics C

    Thanks, I will definitely look into Giancoli's book. I will also look at MIT's lecture series. I think we used a Giancoli book for my algebra-based class, and I think it was okay. Thanks for the help.

    Schools Anyone care to read my college transfer essay?

    To cut it down by a few words while retaining most of what you said, try "While growing up, my grandmother told me"... instead of "When I was growing up, my grandmother always told me"... in the first sentence. I know that doesn't help much, but I also think it flows a bit better :)

    Studying Will I be capable of self-studying for AP Physics C

    Unfortunately, if there was a class available - I would take it. The university isn't very big on physics, and there isn't a class available this semester. I was planning on taking both subject tests, but perhaps that's a little bit too much? If I were to take both, can you recommend a book...

    Studying Will I be capable of self-studying for AP Physics C

    Hi, I will be dually enrolled at high school and a local state university next semester. I will be taking Calculus II, and have completed a basic algebra-based Physics course. Will I be capable of self-studying for the AP Physics C (both subjects) exam in May? Also, can you recommend any...

    Calculate change in height of fluid in a cylinder based on flow out

    Forgive me if I'm completely wrong, been studying for finals all day and night and it's late here. From what I've calculated, \frac{dV}{dt} = 25π\frac{dh}{dt}. Thanks for the help.

    Calculate change in height of fluid in a cylinder based on flow out

    So that tells me that the change in volume with respect to time is 5π, no? For example, after t minutes, 5πt water would have been released.

    Calculate change in height of fluid in a cylinder based on flow out

    Homework Statement A cylinder with radius five has water in it. The water flows out of the cylinder with a rate of 5π units cubed per minute. At what rate does the height of the fluid in the cylinder change? Homework Equations volume of a cylinder = πr^{2}h The Attempt at a Solution...

    Better to slow down, or continue and transfer later

    Thanks for all the help. I appreciate all the responses.

    Can iPads and other devices replace paper for note-taking and derivations?

    I agree with Number Nine, but I've used an app a lot like this, and it works okay.

    Better to slow down, or continue and transfer later

    Yeah, I've weighed the social aspects of high school to the benefits of college a few times - the way I see it, it's fine either way. I'd see my friends outside of school anyway (just the way it is), but if I'm in school, I see them for 8 hours (8am-4pm) anyway so I wouldn't even want to see...

    Better to slow down, or continue and transfer later

    Haha, my mom finished her degree there. And thanks, but I wouldn't consider myself that smart, I'm just a little bit more motivated. So you're opinion is that it would be better to continue high school and graduate in one or two years, then apply as a freshman to colleges?
