    Schools Is Graduate Physics Tuition Covered? Answers Here!

    Hello, I am a undergraduate Physics student and I heard that if you pursue a graduate degree in Physics for grad school (not undergraduate) the department pays your tuition for you? Is this true? I have 5 friends that they have finished undergraduate physics (payed their OWN tuition) but...

    The Geometry of Maps (Help)

    Okay... I think I found the solution by using parametric equations (t,0); (1,t); (t,1), (0,t) and plugging them in yields (0,0), (0,0), (t,t), (0,t) which makes it not 1 to 1. So... it gives me the triangle with those vertices. is this correct?

    The Geometry of Maps (Help)

    Homework Statement Let D* = [0,1] x [0,1] and define T on D* by T(x*,y*) = (x*y*, x*). Determine the image set D. Is T one-to-one? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Okay... So I know it is not one to one, if you take out the point (x=0) then it is one-to-one, so you...

    Vector Calculus Question (I don't understand)

    Okay... so I took your advice. so I thought about what you said so T(u,v) maps u => -u^2 + 4u and v to v so for u [0,1] is the interval... so that means [0, -1+4] = [0,3] for v [0,1] goes to [0,1] [0,3] x [0,1] so that means... it maps the square into a rectangle. But...

    Differential Equations WTF?

    Okay, so I was sitting in my room wondering about the differential operator D. Like for example, solving the equation y\prime\prime+5y\prime+4y=0 introduce D=\frac{d}{dx} (D^2+5D+4)y=0 so you can solve it by doing D=-4, D=-1 e^-^4^x+e^-^x is the solution But how the hell do you solve...

    Differential Equation (3)

    How did you get that solution besides canceling things out? Cause, this is like a very annoying class, like what method did you use? Did you use p\equiv{y}\prime

    Differential Equation (3)

    Okay, objection 1 makes no sense... but I'll give you you're right for objection 2. Here's what the textbook says for case 1: y\prime=p, y\prime\prime=p\prime\mbox {Dependent variable y missing}

    Why Even Talk About Gravitons Even Existing?

    Saying that gravity should be ignored from the quantum level and should only be considered with \geq atomic, doesn't make much sense. Because atoms consist of nuclei and other smaller quantum subatomic particles...which all together work together and has a gravitational interaction, although...

    Differential Equations

    I figured out how to do that integral, the steps are as followed (1) \int\frac{1}{1+\cos(u)} (2) use \cos(u)\equiv1-\cos^2(\frac{u}{2}) and then it simplifies to (3) \frac{1}{2}\sec^2(\frac{u}{2}) which comes out to (4) \frac{1}{2}tan(\frac{x+y}{2})=y

    Differential Equations

    Okay, but how do I differentiate x+y\equiv{u} ? Do I get 1+y\equiv{u} or do I have to rewrite it as u-x\equiv{y} which then becomes u-1\equiv{y\prime} and where do I plug...

    Riemann Zeta Function Z(z)

    I was wondering how do you calculate the Riemann value, of a Riemann Zeta Function, for example the riemann zeta function for n = 0, is -1/2, which envolves a bernoulli number (what is a bernoulli number and what roll does it play in the Riemann Zeta Function), can anyone explain that to me...

    Why Even Talk About Gravitons Even Existing?

    I don't know who said it earlier, I think it was NY-sports but, one of the reasons why gravity should be omitted and separated from The Strong & Electroweak forces was because it has no force field. Well... the thing about that is... the boson fields that the other forces operate in, are...
