Language Definition and 601 Threads

I am neither adept at philosophy nor physics, but in the "what is spacetime" thread I got the distinct impression that some people were letting language conventions, which are human-reason based, take precedence over physics, which is experience based. Link-...

Hello! (Wave) I want to prove that if $L$ is regular then $L^R=\{ w | w^R \in L \}$ is regular. I have thought the following: We suppose that $L$ is regular. Then there is a dfa that recognizes $L$. Assume that $q_0$ is the starting state and $q_n$ is an accepting state, where $n \in...

Hey! :o I want to show that the language $H_\epsilon=\{x \mid M_x(\epsilon )\text{ halts } \}$ is undecidable, by reducing $H_0$ to that. We have that $H_0=\{x\mid M_x(x)\text{ halts } \}$. Suppose that $H_\epsilon$ is decidable. Then there is Turing machine that computes this language for...

Hello! (Wave) According to the notes of computability theory: Regular grammars Alphabet: $\Sigma=\{ \alpha, \beta, \gamma, \dots\}$ Set of non-terminal letters (countable)=N $S \in N$ $(N \cap \Sigma= \varnothing)$ Grammar rules (finite): $w \to w'$, where $w,w' \in (\Sigma \cup...

Eventually at some level commands will have to be converted into something a non-sentient device can respond to. My understanding is that computers are essentially a big network of switches. So how is machine code (I think basically a file containing bits of information representing a series of...

Animals dream and have no word, so articulate language is not necessary to dream and may be to think. Since one preceded the other, may be there is a relation.

Because it happened. My parents always say that i was proficient in language A. But i have no memory of language A. I have the memory of language B and C, which my parents say i learned afterwards. Is this even possible? How could i have known my first language (when i was 4-6 years old), and...

Hello everyone, Head of our Physics department has asked me to teach a programming course for a few of their PhD candidates (mostly theoretical) who unfortunately are very bad in programming. He has shortage in his department and he wants someone from CS to do the job. I looked around and it...

Hello everybody, Like you, I love physics and would love to obtain at least a B.sc in Physics, but I am in a sort of a dilemma. Should I go to Leipzig, where they have an English taught bachelor or should I spend a year studying German in order to take a DSH exam and then attend a German...

I'm a physics major and would like to pick up a programming language or two. Any insight as to what language(s) would be most applicable, best compilers (for Windows), or any other general tips? I'm very new to programming (just used MATLAB really), so please explain your answers as much as...

In english language i use sufficiency and necessity interchangeably to mean the same thing (is that right?) this is now preventing me from understanding the conditional connectives, and i fear i might end up remembering what each of the conditional statements mean (eg: for "Q is necessary...

I am trying to build an interactive physics model for thr students in my school. I'm not sure how I can do it. I tried to write it on Java and C# with no success. I don't want it to be a web application. Which tools and languages I should use.

It seems being able to program is a very valuable tool to a student studying physics (about to be a 3rd year). I'm transferring from a CC to a four year soon. I noticed a lot of the universities I've been accepted to have had their sophomores take some programming this year. Over the summer...

Hey! :o If $K$ is a set of natural numbers and $b$ is a natural number greater than $1$, let $$L_b(K)=\{w \mid w \text{ is the representation in base } b \text{ of some number in } K\}$$ Leading $0$s are not allowed in the representation of a number. For example, $L_2(\{3, 5\})=\{11, 101\}$...

Hey! :o Let $L=\{k |km \in K \text{ for some } m \in M\}$. How can we show that if $K$ is regular and $M$ is any language, then $L$ is regular?? (Wondering)

Hey! :o Let $$C_n=\{x \ \mid \ x \text{ is a binary number that is a multiple of } n\}$$ Show that for each $n \geq 1$, the language $C_n$ is regular. Could you give me some hints how we could show that?? Do we have to construct a NFA that accepts the language??

Hey! :o How can we show that the class of regular languages is closed under the following operation?? Let $L_1$ and $L_2$ be laguages over $\Sigma=\{0, 1\}$. The operation is: $$\{x \in L_1 | \text{ for some } y \in L_2, \text{ strings } x \text{ and } y \text{ contains equal numbers of }...

Is there a computer programming language that is the "best" and/or most transferable (in terms of making it easier to learn other languages down the line) for someone who is just getting started in this area? I literally have zero programming experience as of the moment, but would like to get...

That's the question. I've had a go at drawing a diagram to help me explain it. My understand is that from the start state, an A pushes an A to the stack and stays in the initial state s. Getting a B whilst in state s pops an A from the stack and moves to final state f. Getting a B whilst in...

What programming language should I learn if I want to make a free game app? Is it Objective-C? I have learned HTML, CSS and currently learning HTML5. I heard that Objective-C is hard. Should I learn Objective-C after learning HTML5 if that's the programming language to make a free game app with...
