    Undergrad Special Relativty and Inertial Reference Frames

    Hi - I've just started having lectures on special relativity at uni. We were talking about inertial reference frames and how these can be characterised by the facts that: 1) They move relative to one another with constant velocity, and 2) Newton's laws operate in inertial reference frames...

    Undergrad Vector Geometry and Vector Spaces

    Vector Geometry and Vector Spaces... Hi - I've just started my degree course at university, studying theoretical physics. However, I have opted to attend the same maths lectures that some of the mathematics students are taking. We have been learning about "geometry and vectors in the plane"...

    Undergrad What Is the Relationship Between Theoretical and Experimental Probability?

    Hi, I have recently been thinking about the fundamental meaning of the term probability, so I decide to discuss the topic with my tutor. He told me that the true definition of the probability of x occurring, P(x), is: P(x) = Lim(Relative frequency of x in experiments) as n tends to...
