A little off topic, I'm majoring in Computer Systems Engineering, what kind of career am I looking at? Any examples? This narrows it down a bit from EE.

This is for a class that takes place before Logic Design, so most of the students don't know about the logic gates. I'm taking both classes at the same time, but I'm not allowed to use these gates since it gives me an advantage over others. The project description is as follows: Design a...

Thanks, I'll see if I can make this work

this sounds complicated, I'm not even sure how how to create logic from transistors and resistors. I know how the truth table will turn out.

yeah, I'm not allowed to use a logic chip, so will this be possible?

Can someone provide me with a good source that explains finite state machines well? I'm having trouble understanding Mealy and Moore Machines...

How difficult would it be to create a circuit that uses 3 mechanical switches as inputs to light up 8 LEDs for the binary combinations? This is for my electric circuits class. I've done one for Logic class, but I was able to use Logic gates and some other extra equipment. So any hints on...

DOH! I shouldn't always rely on the calculator (or at least me inputting wrong values) Yeah the Det is 0. I still have some trouble with the Triangular form method though. This technique is suppose to be quicker than the Factor/Cofactor technique right?

I seem to be still having problems with solving the determinant of a 4x4 matrix correctly. There are two methods I can use: Factor/Cofactor and reduction to triangular form. Ex: [ 1 2 3 4 -5 2 1 0 6 4 3 2 1 1 1 1] determinant is 2 based on the calculator Factor/Cofactor: I...

How do I go about solving and understanding the phase plane for a nonlinear system of predator and prey equations?

Yeah if the determinant of a matrix is zero, it does not contain an inverse and is a nonsingular matrix.

never mind, I figured out how to do the inverse, but had to see it through a 2x2 matrix first. I'm still bad at doing the Guassian elimination matrix though unless I write out as a linear system of equations, but I don't want to keep on converting it to a linear system to solve..I just want to...

I'm still having trouble with Guassian elimination and finding the Inverse of a Matrix. I tend to get confused with the switching of the rows or factoring out something. Example matrix 1 1 1 | 1 1 1 -2 | 3 2 1 1 | 2 so it's a system of linear equations and I...

I installed it but how do I use it? Do I just go to notepad and type up and save it as a .dvi file?

Wow this is awesome, but is there a sperate program or way that I can do the Math Typesetting offline or find it as a standard software? I would like to be able to type out some mathematical notes for my self since my hand writing is a bit sloppy and my notebook becomes incoherent...
