Thanks for your responses I tried both of your suggestions. but couldn't quite get them to work (I probably made a mistake somewhere). However, if I used the value t0=arccos(-4/5), I got the answer I expected, So I'm going with that. Thanks again!

Hi thanks for the reply andrewkirk. My understanding is that you do need ##\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial P}{\partial y}=1##. But because there is a factor of 1/2 in the ##\mathbf v##, P(x,y)=-y/2 and Q(x,y)=x/2 so ##\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial P}{\partial...

This is part of a larger question, but this is the part I am having difficulty with. I have had an attempt, but am not sure where I am making a mistake. Any help would be very, very appreciated. 1. Homework Statement Let C2 be the part of an ellipse with centre at (4,0), horizontal semi-axis...

Hi, this isn't exactly a homework question, but this seemed like the most appropriate place to put it. Homework Statement I have an equation in the form: log(a)=log(b)+c. I also have standard errors (SEMs) for b and c. I want to find the standard error for log(a) (i.e. log(a) +/- E(log(a)))...

Hi DEvens, The "all you can eat buffet" simile is a good way of looking at it and not something I have done. I will definitely take on bored all you have said. I think part of the dilemma is that I think they will be all enjoyable and useful, just to different extents, which is something to...

Hi. Thanks for you reply! I can do a bit of programming, but will have to improve with time. I'm pretty sure it will be a useful subject (it appears to be designed for physical science students, not straight computer science students), but am less sure whether it would be better than studying a...

Hello everyone, I'm in my first year of a Bsc in Australia and am currently planning on majoring in physics and human geography (it is a strange combination I know). I have to pick my subjects forsecond semester and am faced with a dilemma. Currently I have chosen maths, geography and physics...
