Hi there. I agree 100% with verty & morphism. It depends what kind of programming is your aim. For a batch payroll application almost no math at all is needed (knew lots of people doing this *without a degree*) The opposite side, a scientific / engineering application (e.g. simulation of heat...

Hi loom91 Check those old (about 2002) interesting quotes from a Slashdot thread that shocked me. Read them carefully and then decide. Hope it helps. My humble personal opinion: Do what you like most. You like physics, get into physics. Do not to go after thew bucks if possible. quote...

Hi, sorry for the silly question. Does the back door open in direction to inside the room or in direction outside the room?

I am not sure (im still a newbe :frown: ), but let's work in senoidal regime: Voltage v(t) = V . sin(wt+p) w (omega) is in radians, so you could make w an equivalent to RPM: 1 RPM = 1 radian = 2*PI Of curse, you will also need current and impedances for a deep analysis, but you can get the...

Hi bekerman, thanks a lot for your advice! best regards.

math Hi Berkeman, thanks for your prompt reply. Just a technician. Unfortunately I do not have the time to make a full engineering degree (full time job, wife, etc.) Do not take me wrong. I just finished Algebra an Calculus I, but topics very poorly covered, or just NOT covered at all are...

Hi dudes, sorry if this is the wrong area for this post. I am doing a career in electronics. I realize that math classes are of a very poor quality (Algebra an Calculus I) Lots of topics were discarded cause lack of time, so i decided to study them on my own. The question is, what topics in...

Hi SGT. I have used W = 5000 (which is 2*pi*796.178) as stated in the excercise. It supposed to be W0 = 5000 Best Regardz.

Thanx a lot guys for your replys. About the solution by "young e.", a question: From the results you obtained, it means that Ztotal = 15.43 + 4.2857i. should not the reactive component on Ztotal be equal to 0, thus leaving only a resistive part <> 0 ? Even working it out as...

Thanks SGT for your prompt reply. By Y(w) you mean the reactive component or admitance? somewhere I've read that for this kind of circuits: w0 = [ 1 / sqrt(LC) ] * [ sqrt(r^2 - L/C) ] / [ sqrt(r^2 + L/C) ] or something similar. This is what i do not understand. sorry for not posting...

Enviromental might suck. Go take a career in chemistry (NOT chem. engineering), or biology, or medicine or pharmacy or psichology or law, or architecture if you want to find many many hot chicks. At our tech. institute, in electronics the ratio is about 30:2 (or worse), in chemistry the ratio...

Hi dudes. sory if it is not the correct area for this question. A question. What is the formula for calculaing w0 (w at resonance) in a two-branch parallel circuit consisting of: A voltage source branch 1: R1 + L (in series) branch 2: R2 + C (in series) I thought it was the same as RLC...

Hi there brothers. Got two questions 1) How does the university system in the USA work? I've read some terms: GPA, grad, undergrad, bachelor, masters and so on, I am getting some little idea. Also, how much time does any stage takes (theoretically) to complete every stage? Is it full day...

Hi brothers. Thanx a lot for your explanations Happy 2005.

Equation Hi NeutronStar, very kind from you. The steps are clear enough and self explanatory. Sure, any algebraic expression can be optimized more or less. Silly from me, I forgot to put the "i"s together on the LHS and then factorize. Thanx a lot for your help.
