Thank you for the reply. I'll definitely be getting the HP 50g then - I don't mind the learning curve and it'll be worth it if I am to continue using it once I start working as a professional engineer. I had almost ordered it, but decided to wait until I got a response. For some reason, it's...

I know the general answer to the question, but I want to get a TI-89 or HP 50g because I want to write C programs (Z80 asm was too fustrating) and of course, because I want a good calculator to use on exams (electrical engineering). According to Wikipedia, the TI-89 (Titanium) has only about 17...

Assuming that the force is constant, why not just take a weight meter and attach something on the end to punch and then place the meter horizontally on flat surface (with something to hold it back so it doesn't fly off when you punch it). I don't know though, the idea seems so simple that I'm...

I'm extremely sorry about referring to them that way and did not mean to be offensive in any way. I am in fact of Indian origin myself. Very ashamed. When I said "these people" I wasn't trying to use it to be derogatory, but to refer to them as "foreign". I'm very sorry that you found it...

I think he's talking about the falling magnet experiment, except in reverse. Say you drop a conductor a magnetic field. Then relative to conductor, the magnetic field is moving, which induces a current in the conductor, and then you've got a current that induces a magnetic force that opposes the...

I'm currently in my last year of high school (last month actually) and have enrolled in Electrical Engineering next year. I like math but dislike physics because there are so many different theories, so I'm a bit confused about what I want to do. I like computer science and love programming so...
