The list of **"Must-Read" Science Books**... Plz suggest Hi all. I am a first semester engineering student in India. I wish to know about the best books there are in science [especially physics]. I am reading Feynman lectures and erwin kreyszig- advanced engineering mathematics right now. The...

Any comment on his list? Items you would reformulate, combine, add or eliminate? Is this checklist a good schematic of the challenges facing theoretical physics at this point in history? I find it helps to have memorized so I can use it as an informal gauge of progress and relevance. One...

Hi all, I've finished a hypothetical problem in which I have determined the optimum damping ratio $\zeta$ for a specific system. This $\zeta$ value (0.265 in my case) minimizes the peak force transmitted through an object. My next step is to take this $\zeta$ value and find some sort of...

I would like to define and plot a list of functions in Mathematica without typing all them, but I can't find the solution. Let's say that we want to plot x, x^2, ..., x^10 on interval [0,1]. This is what I tried: funclist=Table[#^n&,(n,1,10)] Plot[funclist[x],(x,0,1)] This does...

My son is getting married this weekend and my house happens to be full of women right now. Too much chick talk! The conversation switched to movies, and one of the women mentioned the Great Escape. My response: "Best guy movie ever!" (So it dates me). A second later, Magnificent Seven came up...

Hello! I will now start my process to apply for a physics program in England. I choose England because I want to be better at English and its sounds like a nice country, and USA is way too expensive, what I've heard. The only University I have checked so far is Cambridge, and it didnt sound...

I'm studying for an introductory C++ programming course and I'm trying to write the code for a doubly-circular linked list. To keep it simple, I had written my list to be tailored to that of a wedding dinner guest invitation list. Hence I didn't use templates at all. I've attempted to compile...

i was told to build a method for which if we find the asked value in one of the links we return the previous link i have built a method that supposedly does it the problem is that i was told that this code is wrong because we need to check the "this" link seperatly from the FOR loop why is that...

Physics documentaries list?? Hi huys, is there a physics based documentaries list here on PF because i think it would be helpful to have one. I did find a physics movie one with few mentions of docu's, but I am looking for one of just documentaries, possibly with links to them online?

Hi, I was wondering if anyone know of a method in which a student can obtain the list of all answers to every question in the course textbook. What I noticed about my Chemistry textbook is that they offer only answers to the odd numbered questions (which is the questions my professor...

Where can I find a "reliable" List of Engineering School Rankings When I Google the subject, a get a whole host of sites, none of which seem too reliable. Does anyone know where I can find a reasonably current list of...I don't know, the top 50 Engineering schools in he U.S.? I just don't...

I've been working on a tooling Design project for a unique part, basically I'm taking a cast metal piece and drilling and reaming it to be used as an oil flow passage for a Harley Motorcycle. I.e. I'm the (student) engineer that is designing the jig/fixture device to be able to do the work...

Hello I'm looking for a list,as complete as possible, of decay modes and their probabilities, for all known subatomic particles. I've been googling, but found only bits and pieces. Perhaps someone knows a place on internet, or has found a free document to share, or anything like that thanks

Assume i have an initial list of n-2 columns and 2^(n-2) rows, where initially: all the entries are zero. i wnt to sort it out that eveantually we'll get a truth table for this. i.e if we have n-2=2 rows and 4 columns, then: 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 obvously we have here a jump first we...

Question: Prove that the list (x^3, sin(x), cos(x)) is linearly independent in V (V being the vector space of real-valued functions. In other words... common everyday math) They're linearly independent, its pretty obvious. The issue is -- proving rigorously. This is not for an assignment, its...

In a very recent post, Norman altered me to a mathematical physicist named John Baez @ UC Riverside. I have to say, that he has the most ideal career for me. I've bothered everyone with my questions on how/ or should I do both a pure math and theoretical physics degree before, and indeed it...
