Ok guys, what is the difference in going to a city college for summer courses as opposed to the university you currently go to for summer classes (except the $500 difference)? Would grad schools look down on it? Also, do grad schools look well upon students who graduate in say, 3 years or 3...

I'm working on learning how to create classes in C++ and I'm still a little unclear on the syntax for constructor functions and access member functions. We've been using this class called "rational" for working with rational numbers. Header and implementation files are here...

Ugh! I'm working on my last homework assignment and I can't seem to even get off the ground. :cry: The teacher created a class for rational numbers, and now we are working on some functions for a polynomial class which uses arrays of rationals from his class. My polynomials are arrays of...

Hi. Can anyone help me figure out how to find the conjugacy classes for a certain group and the elements in each class. I'm looking at the dihedral group of degree 5 (D5). I found the 10 elements in the group, but I don't know how to get the conjugacy classes and the elements in them? Can anyone...

This is getting crazy. I'm online now because my English class was cancelled, yesterday we had Physics for the first time in over a week. My Drawing class was canceled yesterday. And then two weeks ago Calculus and Speech were both cancelled. It is really annoying. On the other hand I...

Hi, I am currently majoring in physics, this is not the problem! The problem is my option classes. I am finding that my option classes are bringing down my GPA, ie English, Sociology, ect. (Honestly what the hell is the point of studying poetry? )It just seems that no matter how hard I try...

next year, my school is going to be offereing 200+ AP classes (im a high school sophmore) . I am taking calculus right now but my school doesn't have any science classes so i was planning on taking AP physics next year. any advice? thanks.

I was wondering if I should take easy professors for my math and physics classes? I am about to register for spring and I found an easy teacher for vector calculus. I am tired of having the hard profs..I mean I know regardless of how hard my teacher is, I am going to work to my full potential in...

Hopefully this sort of questions will soon be answered in the tutorial (good effort, Dduardo!), but for the time being, this one is not. I have the following scheme: class Foo { ... protected: struct PartOne { ... }; struct PartTwo { ... PartOne* someFunction (); };}...

Hi I just wanted to know what a qoutient space is . Is there a physical picture to it? How can one imagine what an equivalence class,equivalence relation is?

I'm a freshman mathematics major (I've heard that you don't officially have a major until your Junior year, but that's what it will be). I go to a local community college and I'll be transferring to a regular university after my sophomore year. I know that different programs will have...

My school teaches differential equations and linear algebra at the same time. And this upcoming semester is my favorite professors last semester teaching it for a pretty good while. Do you guys think it is worth taking three math classes (calc3, de, la) at a time to have a good professor...

From what I collect the biggest waste of time are these secondary classes that demand busy work which pushes the time spent towards the classes one cares for into the gutters... I wonder why school systems enforce everyone to take core classes and these required classes that are blatant waste...

What software do you recommend to try to learn.. maybe take some classes related to 3d engineering.. not just mechanical but also structural.. etc

Questions about functions: Let A be a set and let f: A -> A be a function. For x,y belongs to A, define x ~ y if f(x) = f(y): a. Prove that ~ is an equivalence relation on A. This is my guess, but I am not sure whether I'm right: Proving reflexiveness: If (x,y) belong to A, then f(x)...

I am being asked to discuss antibiotic resistance for a take-home exam and I was wondering if I am missing any classes of antibiotics. This is what I have: *Sulfonamides *Quinolones *Penicillins *Cephalosporins *Tetracyclines *Aminoglycosides *Macrolides *Chloramphenicol *The book...

I'm interested in how different systems from different countries "teach their young". I noticed in the College Help area some problems I was doing in my 10th grade and not because I was a genious, but because teachers asked me to. I was surprised. I was expecting questions from QM at least. So...

First of all, I recently purchased a Calculus book for a real bargain: $ 0.75 + tax! I spent spring break giving myself a refresher course. Whee! On to business: I think Calculus classes deserve special mention. They are among the very rare classes where cheat sheets are not only permitted...
