    Euler's formula & expressing combinations of sin and cos as cos

    I have a rather difficult math problem. In my circuits class the professor prefers to express the cosine function using Euler's formula as (ejwt+ejwt)/2. Last semester for the final, one of the problem's solutions (that he gave us) used partial fraction decomposition to solve the Laplace...

    Where can I find resources to learn about quaternions?

    Thanks for the idea. I will try this, but I am not too certain whether it will be explained well enough. I checked out Maxwell's original treatise on Electricity and Magnetism and it was very difficult to understand. Part of it may be that I need to have taken more advanced physics and/or math...

    Where can I find resources to learn about quaternions?

    I am interested in learning more about quaternions because they can show more about a system than vector analysis. Does anyone know of a good website that teaches the theory and how to use quaternions? I have already tried the book Quaternions and Rotation Sequences. I might have to check it out...

    Understanding the width of the depletion region in a p-n junction

    Thank you for your help. These different ways of explaining the phenomena are, I believe, practically the same; any majority carriers will react in the opposite manner from the minority carriers because they have opposite charges.

    Understanding the width of the depletion region in a p-n junction

    This is what I don't fully understand. Kindly look at this http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/solids/pnjun.html#c3" in the slide called "Depletion Region." In order for the depletion region to become larger more holes in the P-type need to be filled and more extra electrons in the N-type...

    Understanding the width of the depletion region in a p-n junction

    I am studying to become and electrical engineer and am currently taking Electronics I. I am having trouble understanding the change in the depletion region that results from a bias. I understand that at the time of manufacture the free electrons from the n-type semiconductor are attracted to the...
