I always think back how great life was in during Elementary/High School. No responsibility and endless Summers. Needs were simple, the world was simple. It gives me the blues. How do you handle it?

I am looking for books that introduce the fundamentals of topology or manifolds. Not looking for proofs and rigor. Something that steps through fundamental theorems in the field, but gives conceptual explanations.

Right idea, let's step through it. x(t) = \int v_o e^{-bt} dt = C - \frac{v_o}{b} e^{-bt} Got that right? Now you need to use your initial conditions to solve for C right? Use x(0) = x_o What is C? Now what is x(t) ?

Do you know how to go from a velocity equation to a position equation? That is: v \rightarrow x ? Hint: Use the fact that: v = \frac{dx}{dt} How do you get x?

So I was originally interviewed by a massive Telecommunications company. I made it to the final round that composed of me and another candidate. They chose the other candidate over me. About 4 months later I was hired by another company; not exactly in my field. I really like this company since...

The program I am looking at has an emphasis on Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves. If I am looking at the telecommunications industry, what other exposure might be valuable? Would some course work in Signal processing or embedded systems be beneficial?

Thank you yungman. I am very confident in my mathematical ability. My minor was in Math and Computation. I have only had 2 EE courses: analogue circuits and digital circuits. Will this limit me? I have personally been buying my own circuit equipment, building, and self-learning. I know that I...

Thank you for the response. Having a passion for a subject I can always count on as a requisite. But I have to be realistic and look at the career paths ways as well. Both should be taken into account and weighted. I realize that EE in RF/Microwave is tough. However, I have taken Graduate...

I was looking at the MS (non-thesis) in EE with a focus in Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves. I realize jobs in military and commercial sector for communications, radar, etc. What else is out there? What kind of security would this degree offer me?

Boundaries of the integral: Think about it, what are we integrating over? The rod right? The rod is of length L, but is centered over the mid point of the rod. Do you see that we would integrate from -L/2 to L/2? So you got your bounds. Now separate the integral into its vector components. The...

After a lot of searching and coming close to getting a job in the field I want, I have accepted the fact that this is unlikely to happen. Truly disappointing. I do have the opportunity to obtain a job outside my field. My concern is graduate school. I want to work for about a year, then go...

What would happen if I were to place a charge of -q at the origin? How about +q? Would you agree that they would move? What does this say?

Thank you everyone for your input. The only reason I ask is that I really want this position. It truly is the dream job out of college. But the waiting is killing me. I feel like I just read a Kafka novel. Oh well, just have to wait till next week :eek:

So I had an interview with a top electronics company last Friday. It came down to me, and one other candidate. When I was flown out to the east coast, and met with my interviewers, I discovered that my competition had taken a position elsewhere! I proceeded through two interviews...

Someone correct me if I am wrong but you may be looking for a material with a relatively low diffusivity. Diffusivity is a material property that is the ratio of THERMAL CONDUCTANCE to VOLUMETRIC HEAT CAPACTIANCE. That is: \alpha = \frac{k}{\rho c_p} So a higher diff allows for a metal to...
