I'm a second semester sophomore right now majoring in Computer Engineering and things aren't looking bright for me. First semester, freshmen year, I got a 3.3 with one dropped class, chemistry. Second semester, freshmen year, I got a 2.8 with one dropped class, Calc 2. Both dropped...

I'm a computer engineer (or an electrical engineering with computer emphasis). Are we required to take the FE exam because on my university's recommended curriculum for EEs, there is nothing stating the FE Exam as a course while for the Mechs and Civils it's integrated into their curriculum.

Sorry. I don't know why I said that. I meant I had a C up until that test. I'm just stressed about this semester. Obviously there's nothing I can do about it now and the only thing to do is to strive for an A in all my classes. But how does having these withdrawals on my transcript affect...

Explanations for withdrawal: 1. I had a B- for the entire semester up until the last test before the final which I bombed. That put me at a low D and he told me that I wouldn't be able to pass the class, even if I did ace the final. 2. I just couldn't pull off a passing grade. 3. I was...

So I'm a sophomore in college, majoring in electrical/computer engineering (I'm an EE with some CS courses). Here's how my college career has looked so far: Freshmen (fall semester): Calculus 1 - 4 units, B Chemistry - 3 units, W Chemistry Lab - 1 unit, B English - 3 units, A Immigration...

Making a blackjack game with Java, but it won't compile :cry:. Can't figure out why. Code import java.util.*; class Blackjack { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); Deck myDeck = new Deck(); Player me = new Player(1000)...

OH! Actually, could I write the f(x) as a fraction so I would get \frac{1}{\frac{7}{6}^{n}} and then find its convergence/divergence through a geometric series? Or should I use an integral test?

I thought I could write 3n+1 as (3)(3n). So I should combine the two so that 2n + \frac{1}{3^{n}} = \frac{7}{6}^{n} and then find its limit?

Homework Statement \Sigma^{\infty}_{n=0}\frac{1}{2^{n}+(\frac{1}{3})^{n}} Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I decided to use the ratio test: \frac{1}{2^{n+1}+(\frac{1}{3})^{n+1}} x \frac{2^{n}+(\frac{1}{3})^{n}}{1} And I got...

Same here... when math starts turning into the alphabet, I forget the basics. I lost 5 points on a math test for accidentally evaluating 2/3 + 2/3 as 4/9.

Here's a website created by Professor Lawrence S. Husch, along with the help of some of his students, from the University of Tennessee. http://archives.math.utk.edu/visual.calculus/index.html I just came across it through Google trying to understand series and sequences better as well as...

Error: Does not compute.:confused: Sorry, I'm still confused :frown:

Hope all of you had a good July 4th (for those that celebrate it)! Anyways, I'm trying to figure out series and sequences. I'm using Stewarts' Single Variable Calculus: Early Transcendentals, 6th. ed. For instance, under Section 11.4, the Comparison Tests, I don't understand how one...

Hi there, New to the forums, but have been periodically browsing posts as a guest. Anyways, I'm having trouble understanding and solving circular motion problems, but not finding angular velocities and what not, more so with respect to Newton's laws (forces). Such problems like uniform and...
