    Convert Time Domain to Phasor Domain with Euler's Formula

    how is euler's formula useful? it must have something to do with converting from the time domain to the phasor domain and back, but i can do that without euler's formula

    Natural Laws and their domain of validity

    "Natural Laws" and their domain of validity What is the philosophical justification for extending observed phenomena to "laws of nature". For example, Galileo dropped massive objects and saw that they fall at the same rate, but to then say that all massive objects fall at the same rate requires...

    Drawing domain of R^2 integral

    \int _1 ^e \int _{1/e} ^{1/y} f dx dy If asked how to sketch the bounds for that: "x starts at x=1/e and ends at x=1/y 1/e is just a constant so that's a straight line and x=1/y is the exact same line as y=1/x" That's a decent enough engineer's explanation right? (no one in university should...

    Weird Graph Behaviour - Analyzing a Root in Domain 2-4

    I came across this weird graph from another thread: y=\left(x^2-6x+8+\sqrt{x^4-12x^3+52x^2-96x+64}\right)^2 It seems that there is a root y=0 for the domain x=[2,4]. I've never seen such weird behaviour on a graph before. How could analysis of this function (or not?) determine that there...
