Graduate How does time derivative commute from one variable to another?
The impulse of an object is given by $$ m\cdot v.$$ Derive this with respect to time: $$ \frac{d}{dt}(m\cdot v) = \frac{d}{dt}(m)\cdot v+m\cdot\frac{d}{dt}(v). $$ In most cases m is constant... -

Undergrad Problem in understanding instantaneous velocity
Copyied from "Real Analysis" (H.L. Royden): These are topological spaces. T_{1}: Given two distinct points x and y, there is an open set which contains y but not x. T_{2}: Given two distinct points x and y, there are disjoint open sets O_{1} and O_{2} such that x\in O_{1} and y\in O_{2}. T_{3}... -

Undergrad Convergence not defined by any metric
I seem to remember that metric is a strong topological property. For weaker topologies continuity is defined as that the inverse funcion of open sets are open. Whether this is applicable in this case I cannot say on the top of my head.- Svein

Undergrad Do non-orthogonal coordinate systems mean dependent coordinates?
What is "orthogonality"? You need to add some structure to your space in order to define it. The usual version is a Hilbert space, where you define a "scalar product" of two vectors. If that scalar product is 0, the vectors are said to be ortogonal.- Svein

AI Is AI Overhyped?
If you disconnect from the Internet, can the so-called "AI" apps ace the Turing test? In 1955 the Eliza program was nearly there (no Internet then).- Svein

High School Counting zeros (ciphers) in large numbers like 10^9
A "cypher" is another term for something that is converted from a readable format to something that is not readable. The reader then needs a "key" to convert the coded text into readable format.- Svein

Why Were Resistor Values Indicated by Colored Bands Instead of Printed Numbers?
Ah - colur codes. I remember way bak when TV could be repaired and often had to. A common fault in a certain model was that the cathode resistor had a tendency to burn out. The standard replacement resistor was 1kohm (brown - black- red). One low-level repair guy was red-green color blind...- Svein

High School Is Each Stage of Pascal's Triangle Special?
Also observe that 2^{n} = (1+1)^{n}=\sum_{i=0}^{n}\begin{pmatrix} n \\ i\\ \end{pmatrix} 1^{n-i}\cdot 1^{i}=\sum_{i=0}^{n}\begin{pmatrix} n \\ i\\ \end{pmatrix}- Svein

High School Is Each Stage of Pascal's Triangle Special?
Look at the triangle. Observe that each element is the sum of the two elements above it (in your row, 6=1+5, 15=5+10, 20=10+10 etc.).- Svein

High School Are Implication and Equivalence Interchangeable in Logic?
In predicate calculus A\Rightarrow B is defined as \neg (A \wedge \neg B) , or (using deMorgan) \neg A \vee B . Expressed in words: You cannot have A and not B, or the converse: If A is false, B can be anything.- Svein
