to make the geometry more clear: think of a hollow plastic cylinder. we take a metal sheet and place it on the walls of this cylinder. then we cut 2 fine strips of it (with a width of z, as noted) on two opposite points (as shown on the top view). The side view is accurate, supposing we look at...

I think you are misusing the terms slightly. Inductance is a property of a conductor (we call it L when talking about inductors in circuit classes) and, as far as I know, it is a scalar quantity (unless in certain problems it needs to be defined otherwise perhaps?), meaning that it has nothing...

I am in process of designing a homemade capacitance sensor and I'd like to have an approximation of the resulting capacitance of the following geometry. The plates are placed on the outer surface of a food grade plastic cylinder. The distance z between their edges is many times smaller than the...

"Construct a sample space to show that the truth of this statement P(A\bigcapB\bigcapC)=P(A)*P(B)*P(C) is not enough for the events A,B,C to be mutually independent. Hint: Try finite sample spaces with equally likely simple events." So, my though is that I need to find a sample space with...

sounds like a good idea. Although, i'd prefer something that leans more to a single player gameplay. This does stay on the idea pool, implementing a computer player will be fun:)

1/x works. Asymptotes are the y and x axes.

yes that's it! The game I mentioned was based on Conway's, adding the challenge of puting your own boxed, in order to fulfill the target. After all that's the point of any game, reach a certain goal with personal effort.

Looking for an interesting Mathematical problem "family" And what do I mean by that. All right, I think this was the most fitting category, I hope I'm not too off-topic. So I want to write a puzzle game, but, as everyone who loses his time playing puzzle flash games (like me), knows that you...

I'm sorry, I missunderstood the problem. I imagined this was on 2 dimentions, so my solutions in that case would be correct. to the 3 dimentions now: If I get it right, every layer is an even triangle, and thus it has 1,3,6,...x balls total, correct? Now, if you see these numbers, they are...

I can't really understand the problem. When you talk about triangular pile, you mean something like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:N%C3%BAmeros_triangulares.png? because if it is this, then the answer should be 16. This is based on triangular numbers. let a(n) be the fuction that gives...

yes its the maths. try using leters while working on the equations, and calculate in the end.you'll see your mistake that way, and make your life easier

have a look at the identities on this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trigonometric_identities scroll down and you'll find excactly what you need

by definition of log(fron now on when I write log I mean log(base6)), logx=y is equal to saying 6^y=x. to your problem then, you have log(10x)=1, which by definition of log means 6^1=10x or x=3/5. better now?

velocity is a vector and it is defined by it's magnitude and direction-should any of these change, we say that velocity changes. When you have a non zero acceleration,velocity will surely change, but since it is a vector it doesn't have to be it's magnitude that changes. circular orbit is indeed...

For your example you should think "to what power should I raise 10 in order to get 1000? there are 3 zeros so it's 3."(or something similar) but what if I asked you to find log1001? That's right, no idea. Well, you do know that log1000=3 so log1001 is slightly increased. but that's not...
