We recently had a study group to look over some problems we were given in preparation for our upcoming exam. There were two problems that gave us a little bit of difficulty. There's a lot of stuff here, but I tried to trim it up as much as possible so as not to scare off any help. If I need...

What is covered in a typical first year undergrad calculus course? Is it just an in depth study of basic limits/integrals/derivatives? Or do they get into multiple integrals/vector calculus and stuff? Thanks.

a nuclear engineering course as a substitute for nuclear physics?? I am a dual major in electrical engineering and physics and I missed my shot at taking nuclear physics, and likely will never get the chance to take it again. It isn't required for my degree but I still want to know something...

I thought that these courses notes and problem assingments (midterm also) might be useful for anyone looking for extra material. I'm still a first-year student so I'm getting these as we go, and I'll update this post when we cover new material. Lecture Set 0: Introduction To Physics Lecture Set...

Would it make more sense to take multivariable calculus before linear algebra and differential equations? Or would it be okay to take linear algebra and differential equations before multivariable calculus?

Hello Where can I find a good introduction in (maybe in pdf) statica ? A part of mechanica? Thanks.

Hello everyone, I'm sorry if a question like this has been posted before, but I am trying to get my online work done for tonight and I have come across two problems that I just can't get past. I have gotten far into the problems but the website I enter values in on says theyre wrong. I...

Hello, Where can I find a good course in training calculus skills? Thanks.

I have just started the AS Physics course and we have been doing base units, base quanntities, derived units and drived quantities. This stuff completely baffles me, and cannot find a site which explains this stuff in bog standard english. Please could someone help me. Thanks, Ben

Hi, I'm a computer programmer who's just signed up for a physics degree with the Open University (UK) and I'm still undecided where to direct my study with regards choice of modules. Astronomy amazes me, the overwhelming size and age of the universe makes my head spin and excites my...

I just registered for my freshman semester at the local community college. I think it should be a decent course load, but would like some oppinions on it. Calculus 3 (multivariable) physics 3 (thermodynamics and optics) Linear Algebra differential equations (I think it only covers ODE's...

Hi all I'm currently self-studying a relatively new book, "A Course in Modern Mathematical Physics", by Peter Szekeres, retired fellow at Uni of Adelaide (yes, he's the son of George Szekeres, of "Kruskal-Szekeres coordinates" fame :wink: ). I find it so far to be a totally great book! I...

The cable at C is being pulled down at a velocity of 4 \frac{ft}{s}. The cable at C is also decelerating at a rate of 2 \frac{ft}{s^2}. At what velocity and acceleration is the block at A moving? http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/729/engr204problem121795wl.jpg I have the following...

I never thought this day would happen. I'm writing the exam in about an hour and I'm clearly going to fail. If I pass, it's clearly a miracle. I don't deserve to pass either. I don't know anything literally. I worked on it over and over again, but the professor just flat out didn't teach...

Hello, I am a high school senior headed off to university in just 4 months or so. I am going to have to select my courses for my first year in the up and coming months, and was hoping to get some advice. I am pretty dead set on majoring in pure math (consequences be damned :rolleyes: ). Just...

is retaking a course looked down upon? Say a student got a B as his final grade. would the student be better off in the long run to not have retaken the class and gotten an A?

Im trying to figure out in this question what to do and how to put the formula together. "A particle travels in a straight line such that for a short time 2s < t < 6s its motion is described by v=(4/a) ft/s, where a is in ft/s^2. If v=6ft/s when t=2s, determine the particle's acceleration...

Hello I can't solve this one, can anyone steer me in the right direction. A 7600-kg space probe is traveling through space at 120 m/s. Mission control determines that a change in course of 30.0° is necessary and instructs the probe to fire rockets perpendicular to its present direction of...

I've learned the basic methods of ODEs but I'm looking for a more advanced book, covering things like limit cycles, existence and uniqeness thoerems, phase portraits, and so on. Does anyone know of a good book for such topics.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I don't really really immediately plan on doing any graduate work, although it is a possiblity. Through my first few EE classes, though, I've gathered that a class in matrix algebra or linear algebra would be very beneficial, although it is not required...

The Sun emits energy at a rate of about 3.9 · 1026W. At Earth, this sunshine gives an incident energy flux Ie of about 1.4kWm−2. In this problem, you’ll investigate whether any other planets in our solar systemcould support the sort of water-based life we find on Earth. Consider a planet...

i am from a thirld world country, and my brother has just finished his high scholl who wants to study mathematics later. can any of you outline a general course that he takes for his later career. i am not a student of physics, i am just a student of medicine so i don't know much about it.
