    Iterative methods for solving systems of linear differential equations

    Hi. Anyway, learning this sort of makes me feel like I've chosen the wrong school for myself, but I'd like to try and see if I can understand this nevertheless. See, I'm supposed to learn various numerical methods for solving systems of linear equations, like the Jacobi or the Gauss-Seidel...

    What Are the Real-World Applications and Career Prospects in Mechatronics?

    Hi. I'm 21 year old and I'm currently changing colleges. (I quit Managerial Physics after 1.5 years) The field of mechatronics seems very attractive to me in regard to its curriculum and the wide range of applications they say it has. I was wondering: Does anybody here have any real-life...

    Is the universe deterministic?

    You have misunderstood the concept of pseudo-free will in a deterministic universe. It's about that that you DO have a choice. You DON'T HAVE to convince as many people as possible about anything. You CAN decide what to do on your OWN. But whatever you do, in a deterministic universe, you WERE...

    Is the universe deterministic?

    To brainstorm: My reply to that would be approximately the same as what imiyakawa wrote. :-)

    Is the universe deterministic?

    I think if universe were deterministic (and I'm not saying it is or that it is not) it would have no impact on your free will what so ever. In such a universe, you'd simply arrive at a particular time at a particular place with a particular thought in your head. Now that place might as well be...

    A Charged Particle in a Uniform Electric Field

    I attempted a solution to the differential equation I proposed and I got ended up with this http://integrals.wolfram.com/index.jsp?expr=2%2F%28-x-Sqrt[x^2%2B4B%2Fx*A]%29&random=false or http://integrals.wolfram.com/index.jsp?expr=2%2F%28-x+Sqrt[x^2%2B4B%2Fx*A]%29&random=false for t...

    A Charged Particle in a Uniform Electric Field

    Hi. I'm curious, how would a charged particle, let's say an electron, move in a simple uniform electric field? My first guess would be that it would follow Newton's second law of motion and move with a constant acceleration: $ \dot{x}=\frac{Eq}{m} $ where E is the fields intensity, q the...
