    Understanding J-K Flip Flops and Timing Diagrams

    I'm trying to understand how the J-K flip flop works and how to draw the timing diagrams. I was reading about it on wikipedia and was wondering if someone could explain this to me: "Specifically, the combination J = 1, K = 0 is a command to set the flip-flop; the combination J = 0, K = 1 is a...

    Struggling to understand Lie Algebra: Constructing Weight Diagrams

    Hi, I have spent all weekend reading Textbooks, where I concentrated on Cahn, trying to understand what is going on in Lie Algebra lecture notes. I am having a lot of trouble because I have no background in maths other than applied maths, and lie algebras is so different to applied maths and I...

    Moments and free body diagrams help

    Hello all, Since I have run into the problem of regularly leaving moments out of my free body diagrams (and vice versa), I thought I'd pose a question on the topic. In trying to wrap my head around the concept, I've gone back to the beginning of the semester's notes and that didn't really...
