Is it possible to get Maple to show me step by step how to solve a complex contour integral? f := (x,y,z,v) -> (x+I*x*cos(v)+I*y*sin(v))^(-2) int(f(x,y,z,v),v=0..2*Pi) assuming(x,real,y,real,z,real,v,real) But I would like to know how Maple solves this step by step. I tried using the tutor...

So further from this, my original problem was to calculate the so called Whittaker contour integral so we start from $$f=\int_{0}^{2\pi} \frac{1}{(x+izcos(\vartheta)+iysin(\vartheta))^{2}}d\vartheta$$ This should give $$f=2\pi/r^(3)$$ could someone show me how? Essentially i changed from...

Ok thanks for the replies everyone... So the way I obtained the integral in the first place was to go from $$\vartheta \rightarrow \lambda,$$ by using $$\lambda = e^{i\vartheta}$$ So i guess the contour is an integration over the unit circle like Zinq said. Ok thanks for your comments

I am trying to teach myself complex analysis . There seems to be multiple ways of achieving the same thing and I am unsure on which approach to take, I am also struggling to visualise the problem...Would someone show me step by step how to solve for example...

Would you show me how you solved the integral? I appear to be having some trouble

Pretty much, but where the solution to the Laplace equation is the addition of some function ##g(w)## and ##h(\tilde{w})## where ##\tilde{w}## is the complex conjugate of ##w##... The more I'm reading about it, it seems as if I need to look at twistor theory, global and local solutions etc...I...

So It is well known that the 2D solution to the Laplace equation can be obtained by changing to complex coordinates ##u=x+iy## and ##v=x-iy##. This can be extended to n dimensions as long as the complex coordinates chosen also solve the Laplace equation. For example in 3D...

Ok thanks for your response. With regard to the first integral in the first post, you actually can show that they are both equivalent, ##\int (x+y)(dx+dy)=\int xdx +\int xdy+ \int ydx +\int ydy## from the relationship ##dw=dx+dy## we also get ##dx=dw-dy##, ##dy=dw-dx## if you substitute...

However you can do the substitution for example in complex analysis where ##u=x+iy## and ##v=x-iy## with the differentials becoming ##du=dx+idy## and ##dv=dx-idy##, Is this substitution and hence the differentials valid because of the imaginary numbers? and hence when you integrate you can...

so ## \int wdw = \frac{1}{2}w^{2} ## now if w=x+y, ## \int (x+y)(dx+dw)= \int xdx + \int ydx + \int xdy + \int ydy ## which can be evaluated and gives ##\int(x+y)(dx+dy)=\frac{1}{2}x^{2}+2xy+\frac{1}{2}y^{2}## but ##\frac{1}{2}x^{2}+2xy+\frac{1}{2}y^{2} \neq \frac{1}{2}w^{2}## can...

can someone suggest a method to solve an integral of the form analytically? ##\int \left[\frac{1}{(1+x^{2})}\right]^{-n}e^{-x^{2}}dx##

Hi sorry the subscript on the function was to represent a two 2d vector field. Is there a way to obtain an analytical solution if the function g is known?

How do I go about solving a differential equation of the form \partial_{x}F_{x}(x,y) + \partial_{y}F_{y}(x,y) = g(x,y) Where g(x,y) is a known function and I wish to solve for F. I thought i could apply the method of characteristics but the characteristic equation is dependent on coefficients...

Ok thanks.. I'll have a look through

Basically I am trying to lorentz transform the magnetic field along θ of a bunch particles which have a gaussian distribution to the radial electric field. However the magnetic field in θ is dependent on the longitiudinal distribution. Now initially i thought we would just use the standard LT...

you need to balance the reaction equation out so that you have basically 2(mhydrogen)= 1(mass of helium) + Δm then you can calculate the difference in mass. I can see one mistake and that is that you have used the value for C instead of C^2. Also note that the hydrogen has an initial kinetic...

ok so because there is only 1 possible arrangement for u=1ev the statistical weight can be calculated used the equation above so Ω= 4!/4!(1)! Ω=1 so s=kln(1) then for the u=1.1 ev so the only possible state will be when 3/10 + 5/10 + 2/10 + 1/10 = 1.1 ev so again Ω=1 s=kln (1)

ahhh so i need to use the area of a cylinder? so 2(pi)rh +2(pi)r^2 ?

ok so outside the conductor do i just use the E=q/4(pi)e0R^2 ?

so since its a Gaussian surface do i calculate the line charge density by integrating lambda from R to infinity? then substitute that into the equation above?

try rearranging the equation to make |z| the subject

thats what i got... =]

im not sure but at first guess i would say they would remain the same.. although they would cover a greater distance per turn of the wheel it would need more energy to turn the wheel than for the smaller wheel. Not sure though that was just a quess =]

actually i think i have the answer.. i used an equation that was stated in my textbook.. Wavelength behind = (vm+us)/Fs where Vm= velocity of sound in medium Us= velocity of source and it gets an answer of 0.6 m and wavelength infront = (vm-us)/Fs given an answer...

well i can find the wavelength of the car but i think its only when its stationary I am not sure If Cs of the source is 30 m/s an the frequency is 600 hz then the wavelength is 0.05 m but I am not so sure where to go from there.. if i have Cs and Fs how do i find what the wavelength in front...

well since you know the force between the two plates Work is W=Integral (Fdr)

so you just square both sides so id get x2+y2+z2= C2 where C2 is just another constant is that right?

So the question is as titled i) f=(x^2 +y^2 +z^2) ^1/2 if I can figure out the method I can solve the other equations but I'm not really sure where to start I know that a function f(x,y,z) of a level surface well be constant so do I just find del f ?

it can be done. You need to know the average power used in a home over the year. Then calculate the amount of sun light that falls on the house. If you know the intensity of the sunlight over an area you can calculate the power. But you said that all energy can be traced back to the sun, I am...

have you attempted the solution? how far have you got where are you stuck? you need to put the graph up as well i think =]

yes. but try and understand why. Write the equation out and look at how all the variables relate to each other an like compuchip said what happens to the force if you double one of the masses etc.

yes =]

ahhh i see where u have made the mistake remember that when the ball is thrown upwards it is still under the influence of gravity so you can't use v=s/t because that assumes that the object isn't accelerating and it is in fact decelerating, gravity is slowing the ball down.For part C its the...

Velocity and displacement for example are vectors. Vectors have both magnitude and direction opposed to scalers which have purely magnitude. You basically have got to say which direction it is acting in so for example if a ball is thrown upwards the force of gravity acts in the opposite...
