thanks for the tips.

This is a follow up question. I'm a beginner in Matlab, so please excuse my ignorance if these questions seem stupid. How would you program higher-order derivatives into for loops? Is there a syntax in Matlab for higher-order derivatives? for l = 0:5 for m = -l:l \frac {d^{l+m}}...

I would appreciate some input about how to program spherical harmonics in Matlab. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/SphericalHarmonic.html I want to program a double summation that looks like this. G(\Omega_{1},t_{1}|\Omega_{0}) = \sum_{l=0}^\infty \sum_{m=-l}^l...

You can probably test out of the foreign language requirement.

Interesting article from the BBC about this subject: Fly's brain 'senses swat threat' http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7586868.stm

Swat them with a pillow (larger surface area = higher probability of swatting them). I always do that and they end up crashing into the wall (It actually makes a sound when their bodies hit the wall). It knocks them out cold. Pick them up with a tissue and then release them outside (or just...

yes, that was the one I saw!

This is a coincidence for me. About a month ago I was walking down one of our university's lecture halls and found an interesting poster that caught my eye. It said "1 + 1 = 3?", and it had the whole proof clearly written. I believe some high school kids who visit the school every summer to...

That's easy. Map out all the possible paths (from A-->B, south/east), and then count how many intersect B.

No. For a male, you are considered "short" if you are below 5'7". "Normal" would probably be 5'8"-5'11". "Tall" would be above 6'0". For women, being above 5'7" is tall, and below 5'3" is short.

One summer night in 2005 I was out on my roof with a couple of my friends, and the sky was perfectly clear. We could see thousands of stars, it was amazing. We were in the countryside far away from any city lights. Well, the entire night we were just star gazing and every 5 minutes we...

If someone knew the purpose (meaning) of life, we won't be here wasting our time on a message board. lol

If you're going into pharmacy, it's nice to have a math background, but really Calculus I is all you really need. If I were you, I would minor in something that would be highly beneficial in the work place, such as biology or biochemistry.
