    Probability that a Year with 53 Sundays is a Leap Year?

    Homework Statement A year has 53 Sundays. What is the conditional probability that it is a leap year. Homework Equations None that I can think of. The Attempt at a Solution I tried by knowing that a leap year has 366 days. Next we can note that the remaining 2 days could be sunday and monday...

    Do engineers learn lots of physics?

    Engineering is essentially applied physics. At my university, Mechanical majors take 2 semesters of general physics. They then are required to take many other classes that are not necessarily physics classes, but physics is largely used for the material. These classes include statics...

    I'm Great at Theory but Suck at Application? Am I cut out for EE?

    This is a question I have always wanted to ask but was too nervous to. I am currently a EE and Math dual major at an engineering university. I really like EE and thoroughly enjoy the subject and the physics behind it. However, I noticed during lab I tend to struggle more than the other...

    Is it Weird I Find Physics II easier than Physics I?

    Is it weird that I find physics II easier than physics I? I am currently in Physics II at university and flying through it with an A. However, I took Physics I at Community College and BARELY got a B. On my tests so far this semester I got a 87 on the first one and a 97 on the second one. In...

    Is This Spring Schedule Too Challenging?

    "Basic Concepts of Math" is NOT a basic math course. It is essentially a class to introduce students to subjects like complex and real analysis and for other 400 level math classes. It has a prereq of calc II. However, I have taken Calc I-III and linear algebra and I am taking ODE's this...

    Is this Spring Schedule Too Difficult?

    Nope. However, I've decided not to take circuits next semester due to it being geared toward non majors. I now have decided to take a Materials Engineering class as a mandatory engineering elective. That bumps me up to 15 credits.

    Is Taking AP Physics in High School Worth It?

    I applaud you, sir! That was a fantastic burn!

    What type of math should I study to prepare for computer science?

    As mentioned before, you shall only need up to about Algebra II or Precalc. My university also has their CS majors take a class called basic concepts of mathematics, which is taken after Calculus II, however you shouldn't worry about that yet. I have to take that class next semester so wish me...

    What type of math should I study to prepare for computer science?

    I totally agree with this as well. Boolean algebra is very important for CS as it is for EE as well. I can't believe I forgot to mention that!

    What type of math should I study to prepare for computer science?

    Certianly! You don't need a fancy book to study things like that. You can just use a few google searches to find what you need. Here are a couple of sites to get you started: Binary conversion and operations: http://www.is.wayne.edu/OLMT/BINARY/PAGE3.HTM Hex conversion...

    What type of math should I study to prepare for computer science?

    Honestly, you really don't need too much math to start out in computer science. In fact, at my university, Computer Science grads aren't even required to take Calculus III. Of course, this depends on your college/university, but as long as you have Algebra II or Precalculus you should be fine...

    Find constants that satisfy integrals?

    Homework Statement ∫y1(x)^2dx from - to + infinity=1 and ∫y2(x)^2dx from - to + infinity=1 Homework Equations None that I know of. The Attempt at a Solution I evaluated the integrals and got that c1 is equal to c2 but I think that's wrong.
