Are there any real life applications of linear Diophantine equations? I am looking for examples which will motivate students.

Here are the questions: I have posted a link there to this topic so the OP can see my work.

Homework Statement For my physics assignment I need show how Gauss's Law has been used in a modern technology, such as antennae's or telecommunications of some form. I need to be able to show some worked example equations and link it back to Gauss's Law and explain how the technology would...

I have two questions! General: A uniform circular ring of charge Q and radius R is located in the x-y plane, centered on the origin as shown in the figure. #1 What is the magnitude of the electric field, E, at point P located a distance z above the center ring? I came up with kQ/(R^2 +...

I’m searching for a book about the applications of electromagnetic radiation. A more specific topic I’m interested in is radio antennas but I’m searching for a book concerning more than 3 different applications (eg X-rays, microwave ovens and radio antennas). It should include equations and the...

Case 1: An airplane should not exceed upper limit horizontal velocity while on takeoff roll(or even during taxiing on certain roads).V-Rotation(VR)is an indication of the maximum horizontal velocity,a nose-wheel can handle.Some people claim that nose-wheel has an upper limit to normal reaction...

can anyone tell me the applications of radiation pressure? i have manged to find out one application i.e in solar sails but still my instructor is demanding more applications. i have also found an abstract of an article its about Adiabatic electron thermal pressure fluctuations in tokamak...

First off let me say that I am not interested in discussing whether the LHC is a worth while project. I believe human beings are curious by nature and that learning new things to satisfy that curiosity fulfills a human need just as real as any other. What I am interested in is discussing...

Hello, I learned both calculus and integral calculus a little while ago and my classes did not contain a lot of applied calculus (almost no physics or finance). I was wondering if there is a good ressource about the the different applications of calculus (with the math if possible). I am...

Homework Statement I'm almost done writing a paper on Gauss' Law and for my final body paragraph I want to include some interesting applications of Gauss' Law. I mean applications as in what has Gauss' Law helped to create or invent- something relatively tangible. Homework Equations...

I have a circuit-diagram for a train which in the final stages converts the power to a 3-phase AC voltage (IGBT) that is the excitation for the motors in the train. However, right before the converter module there is a power inductor. I have looked through some literature and on the internet but...

Hello all! I recently read The Universe in Zero Words, a book about the history and influence of important equations. In it, it said that Newton's Laws have made possible the launching of spacecraft s and the construction of tall buildings. With the spacecraft s, I might guess that he was...

1.Well this isn't a specific homework problem, I just need a quick idea to use for a paper. Our linear algebra professor is giving us a 50 point paper project/report that has to do with the applications of linear algebra in the field of study we have chosen to pursue. I would like to do...

I came across this piece of news, about how researchers have found a way to repel electric charges away from a surface: http://phys.org/news/2013-01-metal-surface-repel-electric.html I was thinking that perhaps it could be useful for more than just particle accelerator experiments. Could...

I am curious what the nonlinear bernoulli equation is used to model. Is there a certain topic or context where it shows up often? Can any suggest some references for more info? I am reviewing some ODE stuff for an upcoming exam and would really like an intuitive feel for the equation and its...

How many applications should I put out there? This is my 1st time doing an REU, so I'm not sure how everything works exactly. I know they want transcripts, but it cost money to get my official transcripts from my school, so do I just go until I have a few, or do you apply to atleast a dozen REU's?

Hi, Would anyone be willing to read my statement of purpose for my graduate school applications and give me some feedback? I wanted to stop in my academic resource center to have it looked at this week, but the writing center was all booked. I'd prefer not to post online, so if there's...

Hello Everyone! Suppose $f(x)$ can be written as $f(x)=P_n(x)+R_n(x)$ where the first term on the RHS is the Taylor polynomial and the second term is the remainder. If the sum $\sum _{n=0} ^{\infty} = c_n x^n$ converges for $|x|<R$, does this mean I can freely write $f(x)=\sum _{n=0} ^{\infty}...

At my university the program for a B.S. in Physics does not require students to take a senior thesis course, but I have been told it is recommended for people who want to go to graduate school in Physics. I'm not sure if I want to take the course because I have no idea what I would write the...

What are the applications of Cayley-Hamilton Theorem? Thanks a lot

Hi, I'm looking for an aerodynamic code to model a transonic (say around M=0.8) wing for some basic structural sizing and performance estimation. I'm hoping to use the MATLAB based VLM code Tornado. It has an inbuilt Prandtl-Glauert correction option. I realize that this is technically...

(chemistry major applying for grad school) I would consider myself a very good candidate, but I'm pretty biased. I won't run down everything, but I feel like I am on the very high end of all the things they look for in an applicant. My trouble is in figuring out where to apply, and how many...

I just did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on my system. unfortunately I misplaced the box of CDs with most of my applications.

It's hard to convince people that they should hear and/or learn about the 4th dimension, string theory, and all of the like without giving them real world examples as to why these are all important. I've been trying to find a way to incorporate the 4th dimension in particular into a short...

Hi all. I'm studying from Leon's Linear Algebra with Applications. I'm wondering if one of his examples has an error. In Application 2, he's talking about searching databases. He says we should imagine a database of m documents and n possible search words. Then he says that this can be put...
