I was given the following as a proof that the inertial tensor was symmetric. I won't write the tensor itself but I will write the form of it below in the proof. I am confused about the steps taken in the proof. It involves grade projections.
A \cdot (x \wedge (x \cdot B)) = \langle Ax(x...
Never mind, I found an explanation on physics.stackexchange.com.

So I've started reading Landau's classical mechanics text and I'm at the part where L(v'2) = L(v2 + 2v⋅ε +ε2) and he says to expand it out in powers of ε to get L(v'2) = L(v2) + ∂L/∂(v2) * 2v⋅ε where v and ε are vectors.
Can someone explain how this result is obtained in more detail?
My aim (and it's a long shot) is to try and convince schools by showing that my gpa is acceptable when looking at major related classes only. My gpa is low because I did terribly in required humanities and social sciences electives. Are there maybe IT related internships for community colleges?
Well I did fine in physics and math, but my gpa was killed by a lot of trouble with humanities and social sciences. I withdrew and failed quite a few of them and I really only have myself to blame. It was all too easy to blow off a class one week and come in the next week very behind and...
I'm trying to improve my standing for grad school. I graduated with a terrible gpa (2.6) and I'm hoping that maybe work experience combined with good GRE scores and letters of recommendation could make up for it. And if that doesn't work at least I'd have something to put on my resume.
So like the title indicates, I graduated with a terrible GPA (2.6) and no papers published and no research experience in December. It took me 5 1/2 years instead of 4. I could go into how this happened but I doubt it is relevant to either you all or potential employers. Since I graduated I've...
