I'll get right to it. I've been looking for a Calculus based Physics textbook to self-study over summer, so far I've already taken an algebraic based AP Physics course (this book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0136119719/?tag=pfamazon01-20 But I didn't like Giancoli's book a whole lot, it...

I have fond memories of playing educational games back when I was young (~10 years ago), like Mutanoid Math Challenge, Operation Neptune, Gazillionaire, and so on. They had these wacky, colorful premises like facing off in a math contest against weird-looking aliens so that Earth wouldn't get...

I am a older student that would like to go back to college and take higher level mathematics. I want to teach myself geometry, trig, and Pre-calc before i go back. Could anyboby recommend a book, tutoring software, or website that can help accomplisc this task.

someone is puchsing a box across a floor at a constant velocity. The coefficient of kinetic friction is .41. THe pushing force is directed downward at an angle below the horizontal. If the angle is greater then a certain value then no matter the force the box can not be moved. What is this...

Hi, I'm taking calculus this sem, and i have a question on stuff pre calculus. If x and y are natural numbers and y[less-than]x, then whole numbers q and r must exist such that x=yq+r. a)what is the value of r if y is a factor of x? IT IS ZERO b)If y is not a factor of x, what are the...

Hello, I am currently taking an advanced calculus class and the textbook is "Advanced Calulus" By Folland. This textbook is interesting because it goes deep into every subject treated, but at the same time I HATE it because it is very thin compared to the material treated: ie everything is...

I have been asked to help out with an experiment at the Advanced Photon Source here in the US. As I understand it, there will be several experiments taking place several weeks apart from one another. I will be up there for only about 4-5 days each time. There is even a possibility (though I'm...

Prove that a is a cluster point of E if and only if the set (E intersection (a-r,a+r))\{a} is nonempty for each r > 0. I have the forward implication done but the backwards implication is giving me some trouble. Could you explain it to me.

Here is the problem Let f be differentiable on (0,infinity) if the limit as x approaches infinity f'(x) f(x) both exist are finite prove that limit as x approaches infitity f'(x)=0. I have trouble proving this problem I was told to use Mean Value Theorem to find a contridiction. However...

I'm looking for a book/paper/online source where the following formula is shown to be true: \frac d{dt} \int_{a(t)}^{b(t)} f(t,\tau)d\tau =\int_{a(t)}^{b(t)} \frac {\partial f(t,\tau)}{\partial t} d\tau\,+\, \frac {da(t)}{dt}f(t,a(t))\,-\, \frac {db(t)}{dt}f(t,b(t)) I know one should post...

Hi, I'm getting to the end of my final undergraduate course on quantum mechanics, which basically covered time dependent/independent perturbation theory and the fine structure of atoms. As I still have some time until graduate school, I'd like to continue studying quantum mechanics on my own...

What are some of the obstacles faced in creating prosthetic limbs that are actually controlled by your brain, just like your real limbs are? I always thought how interesting it would be to actually have a artificial limb that works just like, or better than a biological limb. Do we not know...

I'm a high school senior preparing for the AP Calculus AB exam. The school I am attending for college awards credit (placement) for both Calc 1 and 2, if I receive a score of a 5 on the exam, meaning I would begin taking multivariable calculus (i think tis their equiv of calc 3 course)...

I'm reading Advanced Calculus by Wilfred Kaplan 1952. He is demonstrating how to find the decomposition of the acceleration vector into its normal and tangential components. I'm following along until he replaces the magnitude of the derivative of the angle with respect to the distance traveled...

Well there isn't a topic on Linux tutorials, that I could find, so here's one - Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO/index.html Hope some find it useful. Please add others.

whats the role of advanced math in a ordinary person' life directly? does it make a big change in ur life wether u know advanced math or not?

So if you have a block sitting on top of a frictionless slide(it's a ramp, so it goes down like a slide, levels out at the bottom at point A, then curves back up and ends at point B.)the height at the top of the slide is 3.91m, and the mass of the block is 1.62kg, the angle at point B is 45...

i understand the basic lim x->0 (sinx/x) = 1 thimg, but if its something more advanced I am clueless, such as: lim 3x^2/(1-cosx) where x->0 how would you solve this one, or something like lim sin(cosx)/cosx where x-> pi/2? thanks for any help :smile:

My Nuclear Physics class this semester is using the textbook my professor wrote. It is out of print, and with good reason. Can anyone recommend a suitable undergraduate Nuclear Physics textbook which covers most of the basics at a reasonably advanced level? Looking at the usenet booklist Krane...

Hey guys ,can u just let me know about the most advanced or developed IC engine.Plz help.

I'm a junior in an honors trigonometry class, and am also studying some more advanced physics on my own. So I've decided to try to solve the problem accounting for the speed of light. here is the problem. An airplane is sighted at the same time by two ground observers who are 4 miles apart...

Hi All, From electromagnetic theories, with the Lorentz gauge condition for the magnetic vector potential, I get the following wave equation: 1/csquared * d2A/dt2 + del2 A= u0 j. in some literatures, they ignored the d2A/dt2 term and I don't know why they can do that...

More advanced FBD problems--need some tips! Okay, just got assigned 3 more FBD-based problems with which I not only have to do the normal calculations, but also use various computer programs of choice for additional calculations, plots, etc. As such, these are a bit more advanced than the FBD...

This thread is here to organize the many tutorials we have for Advanced Physics, which we take to be any and all Physics Courses after the typical calculus based General Physics sequence. This thread will grow as the number of tutorials grows.

Some institutions regard the two as the same and some do not. I'm curious to know what exactly the difference are between the two are. I speak of the second/third year advanced calculus and introduction to analysis course. Some instutions use less rigorous texts and some use Rudin. I...

I pulled this up recently while Googling "math forums": Physics Help and Math Help - Physics Forums A place for advanced teen physicists to discuss any topic of physics other science/math issues. I think I am too old to hang out here. I am surprised I wasn't carded when I joined...

Could some one help me where to get free tutorials to learn physics. From basic to depth.

During many time i have searched a complete and rigorous derivation of Newtonian limit from GR but i found none. I suspect that it does not exist! I do not refer to that "supposed derivation" that appears in many textbooks of GR. I refer to a rigorous and unambigous derivation of Newtonian...

Does anyone have any useful websites for 2D geometry that discuss some more advanced concepts for a person interested in more of the "backbone" of geometry? For example, instead of what the usual high school geometry course covers, some more in-depth knowledge of geometry would be great!

Which branch of engineering is more difficult to study and more advanced in the world, aerospace engineering or electrical engineering?

Hi. I was wondering... this course seems pretty rigorous and tough. Was this course proven extremely difficult when you guys took it? I'm planning to take it during Summer quarter, but need some feedback on how hard this course will be. Thanks in advance.

Just out of curiosity, does anybody know the more advanced version of the following Cellular Respiration formula? Thanks. C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 36ATP

A small block of mass (m) slides down a frictionless loop-the-loop track. The radius at the bottom of the track is R. The question is at what height above the bottom of the loop should the block be released so that it is on the verge of losing contact with the track at the top of the loop...
