Undergrad Are the space and time parts of a standing wave in 3D separable?
I quote from my book: But it doesn't show any proof that for stationary waves, we can separate the space as time part of a 3D wave equation. How can we show that for stationary waves, we can separate the space as time part of a 3D wave equation?- PLAGUE

Undergrad What would happen in Carnot cycle if heat engine is less efficient?
In this cycle, if $$X$$ has efficiency greater than $$X^{'}$$, then we can show that, heat flows from cold reservoir to the hot reservoir. But this contradicts our everyday observation and we conclude that $$X$$ can not have greater efficiency than $$X^{'}$$. But what if efficiency of $$X$$ is...- PLAGUE

How to show R*S(U+TR*S)* is equivalent to (R+SU*T)SU*?
Sorry. The second expression should be, $$(R+SU^*T)^*SU^*$$- PLAGUE

How to show R*S(U+TR*S)* is equivalent to (R+SU*T)SU*?
I was studying the given finite automata. Using $$R_{ij}^{(k)}$$ method, I found out that the Regular Expression that this automaton accepts is $$R^*S(U+TR^*S)^*$$. But my book says, the regular expression for the accepted strings can be described in various ways. One is $$(R+SU^*T)SU^*$$. How...- PLAGUE

Calculators How does multiplication with 2's complement work?
I recently learned of a multiplication method of signed numbers using 2's complement. Here is the answer. What I want to know is how does this multiplication work? I understand that two's complement is $2^n−N$. I understand how subtraction with complements works. But how does the multiplication...- PLAGUE

High School Why is the constant speed of light so unique?
I was studying doppler shift yesterday and found out that the speed of sound wave remains the same even if the source is moving. To compensate that, the wavelength and frequency are adjusted. I know that this is also true for light which results in red and blue shift. Then why in special...- PLAGUE

Undergrad Proving Newton's forward difference interpolation formula
Say, $$y_n (x) = a_0 + a_1(x -x_0) + a_2(x-x_1)(x - x_0) + ... +a_n(x-x_0)(x-x_1)...(x-x_{n-1})$$ Now, $$y_0(x_0) = a_0$$ $$y_1(x_1) = a_0 + a_1(x_1 - x_0)$$ or, $$a_1 = \frac{\Delta y_0}{h}$$ Here, $$h = \frac{x_i - x_0}{i}$$ Similarly, $$a_n = \frac{(\Delta)^n y_0}{h^n n!}$$ Next...- PLAGUE

Undergrad Find f(z) given f(x, y) = u(x, y) + iv(x,y)
Can you suggest some study materials? -
Undergrad Find f(z) given f(x, y) = u(x, y) + iv(x,y)
I was said that setting y equal to 0 is equivalent to setting ##z=\overline z## as done here. (see the lower half of the page) But it also doesn't make sense to me why you would set ##z = \overline z## -
Undergrad Find f(z) given f(x, y) = u(x, y) + iv(x,y)
Perhaps I am missing something. I am giving the full answer here. They are taken from Schaum's Outline of Complex Variables, 2ed: Second Edition (Schaum's Outlines) by Murray SPIEGEL (Author) -
Undergrad Find f(z) given f(x, y) = u(x, y) + iv(x,y)
I am given, $$u = e^{-x} (x sin y - y cos y)$$ and asked to find v such that, $$f(z) = u + iv$$. My book solves these problems and the answer is, $$v = e^{-x} (ysiny + x cos y) + c$$. I understand how it is done, using Cauchy-Riemann equations. Then, the book asks to find f(z). When doing that...
