Sabbatical in India? Because of my husband's studies (hinduism), we are planning on moving to India for 1-2 years after we graduate in May. I'm going to have my B.S., and I'd like to continue on for my Ph.D. I am 10 years out of high school, with an strong work background, although outside of...

I just turned 27 and I'm about to graduate (finally) with my undergrad in physics. There are times that I feel old (like when I'm talking about my husband to kids who are only concerned with where they're going to party over the weekend...) but I also know that I have advantages. They may be 7...

Thanks for your help...much appreciated...

Well, if z=3/2, then, according to the table I found, \Gamma(\frac{3}{2}) = \int_0^{\infty}x^{\frac{3}{2}-1}\exp{^{-x}}{ dx} = 8.386226 \times 10^{-1}

I don't know what's wrong with my code...the upper limit should be \infty

The given problem is this: Solve using the gamma function \int_0^{\infty}\sqrt{x}\exp{^{-x}}{ dx}My problem is that I don't know how to use the gamma function. It doesn't make sense to me...any insight would be helpful. Thanks in advance

I'm in a similar situation. I went back to finish my undergrad while working in for an investment bank in manhattan. (i'm 27) I was working 3-17 hour days and then had 4 days at school/week. My commute to school was from Harlem to a suburb near Morristown. Plus I'm married (no kids, though). I...

I find it interesting that the "magician" calls for a constant shot AFTER handing the paper to the people and then cutting away with the camera. Plenty of time to make a switch of some sort, but because he calls for a constant shot, the veiwer is, perhaps, convinced that the shot was continuous.

2x*e^(x^2) + x^2*e^(x^2)?

thanks, i'll try that now

I'm having trouble finding an integral table w/ this integral, or understanding a method to solve it...any hints would really be appreciated (the book directs us to use integral tables) Int[e^(x^2) dx] limits->{-inf, +inf} Thanks in advance

That's my dream...at least for graduate school...I'd love to get out of the U.S.! Repeating what others have written: Why do you ask?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is an Oobleck?

Thanks, all, for the feedback. You've reminded me of things that I already knew, but had temporarily forgotten. I really do just want to be the best I can be. Having left an already successful career in the business world, I know that things develop with time. It's such a hard adjustment...

Certainly I want to live up to the best woman I can be, whoever she is. There are those moments, however, where one feels as if there are an infinite number of mountains to climb over. I'm so glad that there are people who can teach me. My frustrations lie in my current inability to see the...
