    Another misleading observer example, or not?

    In this example, which I found via Wikipedia on Delayed Choice, http://www.bottomlayer.com/bottom/basic_delayed_choice.htm" it makes the "observer" special, i.e. it's the observer who "chooses" whether the photon goes through one slit or the other, or through both as a wave, or more...

    Are All Modules Merely Vectors, or Do They Vary by Type and Operation?

    I know there are many examples of rings like R[x], N, Q, where the elements can be fundalmentally different like polynomials and numbers. But are there different type of modules like there are rings? Or are modules just any vector? And the modules are different when you consider which R...

    Anticommutation Example: Solving for Operator p in Relation to Variable q"

    If I have a variable q, and think of it as an operator, and want to postulate another operator p so that it satisfies a commutation relation [q,p]=i\hbar, a definition p=-i\hbar\partial_q will do this. If I instead wanted an anticommutation relation \{q,p\}=i\hbar, what would be an example of...

    Work example wrong in my text? (it's driving me bonkers)

    Homework Statement A textbook shows an example of work. Either my understanding of Work and how to calculate it is wrong, or the text is wrong, I am going nutty here and not sure which is wrong, I think it is the text but, then again, I am biased. The example goes as follows: (between the...

    Finding the Form of L: An Example

    Homework Statement An example in my notes. To solve for green function of a differential equation. eg x^2(y'') - 2x(y') + 2y = x^3ln(x) The first thing is to solve the kernel by solving Ly = 0 and it says the form of L suggests trying y = x^m How to I obtain the suggested form of L?

    An example illustrating the laws of exponents

    Using the well-known rule for multiplying numbers raised to powers: u^{\frac{a}{b}}v^\frac{c}{d}} = (uv)^{\frac{a+c}{b+d}}, 3^{2/3}9^{7/6} = (3*9)^{\frac{2+7}{3+6}} = 27 If you can think of a better way I'd sure like to see it! :biggrin:

    Confused on how they figured out bytes, book example:
