    MATLAB Reshaping Multi-Dimensional Arrays in MATLAB

    Ok so here is the problem I have a 15x15x4001 structure. Basically it is a matrix at 4001 time points. I want to track one element at a time as a function of time the problem is that mystruct(1,1,:) is being read as a 1x1x4001 structure I want it to read in as either 4001x1 or...

    Calculation beyond computional limits

    Yeah everything is reporting 1. Thats what i was trying to get around. I don't think i can get around it. Because that gives me a ratio of sqrt(1/(1.(86 zeros)1)) Which i can't even imagine. So basically you have to get that v/c ratio of the speed of light to turn a raindrop into a black hole...

    Calculation beyond computional limits

    So i am ttying to calculate a velocity in this problem i dreamt up. Only problem i can't get a computer to solve it. So i was hoping someone here could help i am trying to find the value of x such that \frac{\sqrt{1-x^2}}{x}=1.0967*10^{-86} This arose in me trying to calculate somewhat...

    Missing 'x' in Expectation Value Formula

    yes it should read<x>=<\psi|x|\psi> = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\psi^*x\psi dx make sure you write it in this form too. Otherwise when you start putting in other operators like p you will get it wrong.

    Math Bad economy and funding in science and maths?

    I have a feeling that the maths will be hit worse, because the sciences will be where the technological innovation comes from. Maths will be incredibly useful to the economic redevelopment though. Hard to say which will be hurt worse. We really will need both of them.

    Physics Industrial grad degrees with a physics bs

    Medical physics is a wonderful carrer choice. Lots of money available, and decent demand if you do well in graduate studies. Unfortunately for me it in no way interests me, but we are talking about you. I would recommend choosing what interests you the most... And nuclear engineering should not...

    Schools Getting into grad school with a less than amazing record

    I have a somewhat similar experience, but I did not get sick. I just had my buisiest semester ever. My gre scores are crap to say the least(630 phys, 490 verbal(small vocabulary)). THey do not reflect my abilities. But I have been published twice, once in a major journal, and the other as first...

    Are complex variables used in physics

    Well i see them used all the time. I took a complex variables course already and it hasnt helped me too much, but i expect that it eventually will. It reall helped me in my math methods class.

    Is it odd to get help with physics homework from your proffessor

    I always have to work that way, because everyone else waits till the night before the assignment is due and ends up staying up all night and turning in a halfassed incomplete homework.
