There are a number of different betting systems that you can use with any type of gambling game: http://www.lolblackjack.com/blackjack/betting-systems/ Although, all of them are futile as I have learned. They only work best with games that pay out even odds (1:1) but the actual odds will be...

There are a few more betting systems here that you might be interested in: http://www.lolblackjack.com/blackjack/betting-systems/ It is true that you could never lose in blackjack or roulette if you had an infinite bankroll with no betting limits (this would certainly be ideal). Each trial is...

Have you tried out a number of different systems like those described here?: http://www.lolroulette.com/roulette/systems/ None of the systems actually work when you factor in a large number of systems. The edge is 5.26% in American roulette and 2.70% in European roulette (which is a better game...

Twofish-Quant, I just happened to read your responses and wanted to ask for some advice. I was actually looking into these kinds of Wall Street jobs and got shot down since essentially all of them require MS and Ph.D and I currently have a BS in Physics and minor in Mathematics. The only...

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics with a minor in Mathematics. I graduated with honors, 3.30 GPA (cum laude) but have no internships and no experience except for undergraduate research and independent study. Where are some good places, other than USAJOBS.gov, where I can find...

I took two measurements of angles that have the same uncertainty. These two angles are also equal. So I took an average of these angles and it's the same result originally measured, but when I try finding the UNCERTAINTY OF THE AVERAGE, I get 0. I'm guessing this isn't the right thing to put in...

Nevermind, I solved it by using the RAD mode on my calculator rather than DEG.

[Solved] Optics - Double Slit Irradiance of Fringes Homework Statement A double slit diffraction pattern is formed using mercury green light at 546.1nm. Each slit has a width of 0.100mm (= b), slit separation is 0.400mm (=a). The pattern reveals that the fourth-order interference maxima are...

Actually, all I would just have to do is plug that answer back into the equation and it looks like it is correct. Thanks for the help Doc Al

I was able to get about 498.5 roughly. Is this correct?

Super! It took awhile but at least I got this down pretty good again. I did some searching online to refresh my square root concepts and solve the rest. I solved a problem in the book that I knew the answer to, but the problem above is one that I just made up randomly so I didn't know the...

Thanks Doc Al and arildno for the quick responses. Do you know what the solution is for "pc" in that example above? I am still in the process of trying to solve that one but my skills are a little rusty. So if you square both sides, do you get: 1000^2 = [\sqrt{(pc)^2 + 875000} + \sqrt{(pc)^2...

Doc Al, thanks for the hint! I was able to figure it out now. I do have another similar problem in another course with unequal variables. For instance, I have to calculate the momentum of some subatomic particles and I get an equation like: 1000 =\sqrt{(pc)^2 + 875000} + \sqrt{(pc)^2 +...

I know this must be an easy question, but I can't seem to remember how to do it: \sqrt{z^2+R^2 - 2zR} - \sqrt{z^2+R^2 + 2zR} Can someone go through step by step how to solve this? This isn't a homework question but I've been running into this problem more often in multiple courses. So far...

Greetings I am in this course now and have this same problem. I know the rotation matrix is supposed to be a 3x3 one and the formula in the book shows: Rxx Rxy Rxz Ryz Ryy Ryz Rzx Rzy Rzz I don't understand what to do next, what does Rxx and Rxy mean? I was wondering if someone could give an...
