Why Was College Physics HW Moved to K-12 HW?
what ever happens, please do not delete any thread or post in this forum this site is cool, it rocks, it rules as valuable as discussions with professors I wonder if there is any limit to the size of the forum?is there any bandwidth limit?- steveurkell

Graduate Can Any Unitary Matrix Be Expressed as e^A?
I use Taylor expansion of e^x where x now is a matrix, e^A= I + A +A^2/2!+A^3/3!+... taking the determinant of both sides det(e^A)=det(I+...) where the right hand side will just be sum of determinants of all terms since for skew-symmetric matrix A transpose = -A, then on can show det(A)=0...- steveurkell

Graduate Definition of 4-vector quantities
Hi, I just want to share my curiosity in the definition of 4-vector quantities such as world line 4-vector x^alpha, 4-velocity vect, gauge potential etc. the ones with subscript for indices usually have the first component with negative sign and the ones with superscript for indices have all...- steveurkell

Graduate Tensor gradient and maxwell's equation
Hi everyone, I now have difficulties in using formula for gradient of tensor. The following is tensor for field strength Fsubscripts_alpha_beta = [ 0 -Ex -Ey -Ez Ex 0 Bz -By Ey -Bz 0 Bx Ez By -Bx 0 ] My question is, how do we derive the Maxwell equations...- steveurkell

Stefan-Boltzman's radiation law problem
thank you before my first posting, I had tried to use the geometrical series expansion, but I performed the summation inside the integral and I didn't realize that with limit of integration from 0 to infinity, I just could replace x by 0. thanks anyway- steveurkell

Stefan-Boltzman's radiation law problem
Hello everyone, I cannot solve the following integral integral from 0 to infinity of (x^3)/(exp(kx)-1) dx with k>0 as you may be able to guess, this integral is very famous one which can be used to deduce Stefan-Boltzmann's radiation law those of you who are experts may quickly recognize it...- steveurkell
